billytea: I imagine it talking to scrumptious apples, saying "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." And then batting its Borg eyelashes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Ginger: Bush went to frigging Yale. Why does he keep saying Yoooo-Ni-Ted States.
Lee: Because he hasn't had enough chance to say Vee-hycle?

Allyson, talking about Bush's performance in the debate:
You know, for someone who claims to be the great uniter, he needs to stop using "liberal" as if it means, "cumstain."

Lyra Jane: four years as president and six years as governor, and his litmus test for political appointees is that they shouldn't support slavery? That's, um, good to know.

JZ sounds off about a political issue:
My personal pet totally inconsequential ranty issue: I wanted to punch Bush's face in for the remark about the Pledge. I'm so fucking sick of that bullshit tempest in a teapot, not to mention the fact that the words "under God" were added only in the last 50 years or so, and the even more salient fact that the man who wrote the Pledge in the first place, who was a Christian minister, deliberately left God out of the Pledge because he felt that even though non-Christians might be wrong like wrong things about that, they could still be patriots and lovers of their nation and his scruples would not allow him to put a phrase in the Pledge that would make them feel like lesser Americans.
For fuck's sake, omitting the word God was a matter of frelling Christian principle and ethics for the author!
Okay, done with the Rant of A Trivial Non-Issue, Except That It Actually Is.

Gus tries to sum up:
[?] repairs have to come first [?]
Yes. Once again, the Dems are needed to fix up all the junk the Reps have created.
Once again, the bill for the repair is something that the public will have difficulty reading, and a resentment toward paying. I just wish that Kerry had offered that message, that he is a good mechanic, with an ability to get the thing not just running, but souped-up for a major race.

Trudy: Pat O'Brien is a moron.
We knew this already, of course, but he just asked several people if they thought Martha would try to escape from prison.
As if she could somehow hide ?
Daniel C. Jensen: Now I'm thinking of Martha Stewart escaping and being found out ala Agatha Christie.
Or maybe having a class on her new skills in escape:
"I found that a nice short butch cut and some shoe dye really changed my appearance for the road. Be sure to pack along your dye, as you may not wish to shop when on the lam."
