Shrift, I saw your dead body on the news last night!
Okay, that didn't come out right.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

Did they say what happened to the body to make it dead?
OK, that didn't sound quite right either....

I need to get my graciousness back.
I thought I might find mine in the bottom of my coffee cup, but now I'm pretty sure I left it on my pillow. I'm gonna have to write "Don't be an asshole!" on a Post-It and put it on my computer monitor.

Or put up a sign saying "Do not taunt happy fun shrift" or something.

OK, there are some left-wing folks who think that the Bush administration is planning on installing a dictatorship in the US. Does this belief become more credible when "old-line conservative Paul Craig Roberts -- a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan" says it?
What prompted this paranoia is an odd little Executive Order that "allows the government to seize the assets of anyone who interferes with its Iraq policies."
Paul Craig has this to say about it:
When Bush exercises this authority [under the new Executive Order] ... there's no check to it. It doesn't have to be ratified by Congress. The people who bear the brunt of these dictatorial police state actions have no recourse to the judiciary. So it really is a form of total, absolute, one-man rule. ... The American people don't really understand the danger that they face.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
OK, there are some left-wing folks who think that the Bush administration is planning on installing a dictatorship in the US.
We were just talking about this at work. Y'know how none of the Republican presidential candidates are very appealing right now (c.f., the recent poll where "none of the above" got a higher percentage than any of the Republican candidates)?
I'm just waiting for Bush to look at that and then, as a first step, abolish term limits and run again.
