I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

I'm so looking forward to having a President I can listen to again.

I'm looking forward to having a president that doesn't make me lunge for the remote to mute him (or her).

I'm not watching in the interest of preserving my television. Bush makes me yell and throw things.

and clutch my chest because I'm so angry I'm afraid that my heart will try to run away.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hmm. Now that you mention it, what about throwing okra at GWB? It seems like a suitable use for the nasty stuff, and I hate to waste a tomato.

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

I had one of those as a kid. I loved playing with it.

Speaking of office weapons, I just read a profile of this guy: [link] who recently published this book, Eccentric Cubicle: [link]

I want my own lucid dream induction device, but I wouldn't put it in my cubicle.

Speaking of the SotU speech - the Washington Post says tonight's speech will "probably" be Bush's last.

That is the problem Bush faces as he prepares to deliver his seventh and probably final State of the Union address tonight.

Is it at Brentwood, by any chance? My car got it's money eating repairs there last month and it seemed like they were always really slow to call me to give updates. so annoying.

Ahaha! YES! And so it isn't just my paranoia! I figured I was being neurotic because I always end up calling them before they call me. They called me back a few minutes later (as they always do!) When I was already in my meeting.

The good news is it isn't that bad. Thank goodness.

I like 'em because even with the phone-issues, they really really try to keep the repairs to under a day. And they saved me a lot of money buying cars. So.

eta: and they don't treat me like a crazy lady when my car gaslights me. They may think I'm one, but they keep that hidden.
