You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Yeah... what if we got rid of the public place requirement in that case, would that make it any better?

It has to be a public place so it can't be easily covered up. And Scalia would be good, too. I just couldn't remember his name. And remembering the Thomas approval hearings, he seemed like a more likely candidate for the scenario.

vw -- I'm not positive, but:

a) Nobody has veto power. The other votes combined are greater than 30, so if 30's against something it can still pass. Nobody in that set can singlehandedly prevent something from passing.

b) If I understand this correctly, the quota is 2. 30 and 29, 30 and 28, and 29 and 28 are all pairs that can decide the result.

c) 13 is a dummy. No matter what other combination of votes occurs, what 13 does won't change the outcome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

STOP IT.

Edit: Not Strega, the other stuff. Carry on with the voting math, by all means.

Our wings are not tired.

Hee. I'm just all giddy and stuff. I just know I am going to have a giggle attack in the middle of yoga class tonight. But the class will understand.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Math has a liberal bias.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Math has a liberal bias.

Because of the quotas?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

c) 13 is a dummy. No matter what other combination of votes occurs, what 13 does won't change the outcome.

Poor 13.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

If only Strega were here when we had the preferential voting kerfuffle of aught-foo.
