Cashmere, were you able to keep Owen in his room last night?
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aimee, I'd be watching out for Monstro, if I were you. He sounds like he might have a grudge.
No kidding.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Goes without saying, but so do I.Stepmom got me cashmere yoga / comfy pants for Christmas. I silently mocked her. Then I put them on. Bless her, for they are luxury numminess pantsonified.

No kidding.I also thought of Monstro as the strong and silent type. Stoic. Still might try to beat you down one day though.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cashmere, were you able to keep Owen in his room last night?
I was! Although when he's tired, he just calmly goes to sleep without getting out of his bed. It's when he's bored that he decides he'd rather run the halls and hop in Olivia's crib.
Today, I picked up some of those squeeze, door knob covers and they did prevent him from opening his door at nap time. He banged the hell out of the door until he got tired and gave it up for the nap so I'm putting today in the WIN column for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, I love Wonkette:
Jenna and Barbara are being tossed out of Argentina — not by the actual country, but by the pissed-off U.S. diplomats in Buenos Aires.
Why? Because their drunken antics and usual Bush-inspired chaos have ruined the buzz for new American Ambassador Anthony Wayne, who expected the whole country to applaud his pointless appointment. Instead, the Argentine press has gone Bush Twin Crazy.
The local tabloids say Barb and Jenna are literally running naked through the halls of their exclusive hotel, while the twins’ Secret Service team has apparently completely abandoned the gals. Many more tawdry details — including a double assassination attempt — are now in this brand new breaking update.
Actually, they were asked to leave, by the US embassy. They refused.

More Wonkette:
Sandia National Laboratory, which once produced fantastic death ray weapons and nuclear bombs to keep America strong, had to fire a gal for using the government’s supercomputers to access the cell phone account of some rap-metal idiot.
Devon Townsend is accused of breaking into the Verizon account of “Chester Bennington” — who leads an angry-white-guy faux-hip hop outfit called “Linkin Park.” She read his call logs, downloaded his camera-phone pictures and finally threatened his wife. Townsend is 27 years old and apparently just literate enough to work for the government’s secret Death Ray lab. This country is so fucked.
“We’re in a different age, and fans have more skills than they used to,” Townsend’s attorney said. Yeah, especially if they have government supercomputers and DoE clearance. In the old days, everybody on the Manhattan Project had to take a train to New Jersey to dig through Frank Sinatra’s mail, and that’s why we all speak Japanese today.

Well, they were standing by as one of the girls purse (containing her cell phone) was stolen right from under their dinner table at a restaurant.

What is even happening?
Did the Secret Service team just get on a plane and went home after the robbery, because ABC News producer Joe Goldman was able to walk right up to the twins in the lobby and “directly engage” Barbara as she screwed around on the Internet. >[link]Did they get on a plane and "went" home? Are first graders writing Wonkette, or just editing it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I take issue with some of them--the news-related ones are just (eta: not "just" in a depreciated sense--but TV's acting a different mode for those) records of something that happened, not something designed for TV.
That having been said, I couldn't read the list to myself. I tried, but two of the phrases are the same, and I had to say the one I recognised out loud...and it was downhill from there.
My favourite? I'm going to (for now) go with "Holy (whatever), Batman!" (Robin, "Batman"). The one that I think should be #1 is "Good night, and good luck" (Edward R. Murrow, "See It Now"). The one I use most in real life...well, I'm going to have to go with "D'oh!" (Homer Simpson, "The Simpsons"), although I wish it were one of "Don't make me angry ..." (David Banner, "The Incredible Hulk") and "I love it when a plan comes together" (Hannibal, "The A-Team"). The one that's the most fun to say..."I'm Rick James, bitch!" (Dave Chappelle as Rick James, "Chappelle's Show").
Honourable mentions (i.e. not on the list): "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly" (Arthur Carlson, "WKRP in Cincinnati") and "Does Wayne Brady have to choke a bitch?" (Wayne Brady, "Chappelle's Show").
