Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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. Time to take my Lincoln on a road trip. (It gets about 10-11 mpg on the highway, and requires premium gas.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH is a little insane about the gas price drop because he's got a gas card promotion getting ready to launch.

Here's a link to the entire McCain interview on Letterman last night, as well as a rough transcript of the part where Dave really gets into it with him.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Question for the group: A friend of mine says she's "terrified" of what would happen if Obama wins as apparently he wants to create a national police force. News to me, if so.

The closest I've been able to find to a reliable news source regarding this is Sean Hannity, and I'd really like to point her to something that would say this is naught but extreme right wing scare-mongering.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Too late, I'd say. We already have the FBI. Not to mention the Secret Service and various other segments of the Department of Homeland Security.

Is the speech it came from, I'd say listen at about 15 minutes. He mentions a civilian national security force, but it's in the context of peace core and opening consulates, to me it doesn't sound like new police force though taken out of context you can get that impression. So the source is a couple lines from a speech that are taken out of context.
