Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Czolgosz, who was more a wanna-be anarchist who just happened to be able to get close enough to McKinley to shoot him.

Czolgosz, working man, born in the middle of Michigan, woke with a thought and away he ran to the Pan-American exposition in Buffalo!

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 dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night

I got this really great gun. No, it's really great. Wait! Anyway, it's just a .38, but, it's a gun. Even when you fail, it tells them who you are, where you stand...this one was on sale! It, no not the shoe, well, actually, the shoe was, too.

The workers said to Casey, 'Won't you help us win this strike?'
But Casey said, 'Let me alone, you'd better take a hike!'
Then someone threw a bunch of railroad ties across the track
And Casey hit the river with and awful smack

I just had a random thought - that I should take violin lessons. I've had this random thought before.

Hmmm.... where can one rent a violin, and for how much?

eta: Ooh. On eBay they have cheap "student" violins for $49....

eta²: Oh, student ones are smaller. But there are regular ones that are cheap too...

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

The Tribune's decisions then were driven by outrage at inept and corrupt business and political leaders.

Dang. That's a hell of a lot stronger than the Post's "but we still kinda like you anyway, John McCain!"

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Loved the zoo baby pictures. I think - unusually enough - that the grown-up red pandas are cuter than the babies ... at least until they have their eyes open.

That's probably for the best, as adult red pandas rival samoyed puppies in cuteness... if the babies were cuter the sight of them might kill the zookeepers that are supposed to be feeding them.

“Not dead yet!”

True dat. They kill me ded. Mooshu's breed (Eurasier) had Sammy bred into them in the sixties for temperament-- they also got the eyes.

They almost don't look real

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Red panda. What you don't see are the slightly pigeon-toed black paws and the big, fluffy, ringed tail (red and cream).
