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

so it just does what it wants.

I hate it when people anthropomorphize their hair.

(kidding....)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

In fact the very word "furbabies" makes me taste vomit

I actually hate that word, which, of course, is why I used it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My dog thinks it's fine.

Dogs are like that.

My cat is writing his doctoral thesis on this.

Yeah, where's your doctoral thesis, huh? Your cat is wiser than you, tommyrot. You can see the wisdom in his eyes. He knows.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Dear swim team girls:

Dial it down a notch! Or two! Do you not realize that the locker room echoes? Not to mention that your loud, high-pitched voices are all trying to be heard, so you shriek?

Hey, guess what?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush has decided not to renew a program of domestic spying on terrorism suspects, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said on Wednesday, ending a tactic criticized for infringing on civil liberties.

Gonzales said electronic surveillance will be subject to approval from a secret but independent court, which Democrats in Congress and other critics have demanded during more than a year of fierce debate.

Ahhh, sweet civil liberties! How I've missed you. Have you seen habeus corpus lately?

What is even happening?

It's right over there, behind the secret court.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't like people who ascribe human feelings to their pets.

Like what? I'd be way happy to fond out that my cat doesn't experience loneliness, and that she does experience happiness, or at the very least, comfort.

Meanwhile, the administration has been firing prosecutors left and right (under an obscure provision of the Patriot Act) and appointing interim prosecutors to avoid having to bring them before Congress. Oddly enough, these prosecutors were all investigating the Bush administration.

I think animals have feelings. I don't think emotions are an exclusively human trait.
