Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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

Ooh. Can anybody, like, go in there and ask for a Waldorf salad?

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

Sure. It has about five restaurants. Most of them probably serve it.

I really want to re-fi into a 15 year fixed while the rates are dropping.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria several years ago. My mom, sister, and sister's friend were in NYC for the weekend after Xmas, and sis and her friend had half-off coupons from the hotel chain [Hyatt? Hilton? one of the two] that owns the W-A, so instead of paying $400/night, we only paid $200. Nice rooms, but like a fancy restaurant, nothing comes free, not even the coffee (Mom was pissed to find a $5 charge on the bill for the coffee she made in the room that morning). The location cannot be beat, though--it was a perfect base for wandering Manhattan.

ABC News' Political Radar blog quotes an unnamed "senior Obama campaign official" as saying that "the debate is on" and the Democratic nominee "intends to debate."

And Fox News interviewed Gloria Kellum, the vice chancellor for university relations at the University of Mississippi, which is hosting Friday's debate. Kellum told the network's Shepard Smith, "The Commission on Presidential Debates is moving forward, and so they're saying to the candidates, 'This was our agreement, this is what we're gonna do.'" The CPD is in charge of arranging the debates.

Art Crawl!!!

A friend emailed me that when one of her colleagues heard about McCain's call to stop everything and concentrate on the bailout he said - (paraphrasing) - if he's president is he going to be able to stop everything else to work on one thing at a time?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And um, it's not like there isn't any crazy shit going on right now related to foreign policy either - North Korea making noise again this morning, just for example.

Hell, I don't get to work on one thing at a time.

Senator, the financial collapse is not a snowday. You still have to do the debate so get cracking on your homework.
