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 Kerry win the popular vote as well as Gore?

I don't think so.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Kerry did not win the popular vote.

I voted!

Longest line I've ever had at that polling site. There were more people sprawled around on the floor marking their ballots than using booths. But of course we were using the official pens for our Scantron ballots. It reminded me of my first college registration (with punch cards).

I'm trying to make a buttonneire out of the tops of my ballots.

you're right Tommy, he didn't.

Probably should have checked wikipedia first!

John McCain wasn't born in America. IS HE EVEN ELIGIBLE?!?!?

I mean, he is old. Was the state he was born in a state yet when he was born?

I didn't know he was born in the PCZ!

Ann, that's a ferret.

A British 19-year-old has officially changed his name to "Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined."

The Glastonbury, England, teenager -- originally named George Garratt -- said his new name, which is thought to be the world's longest, has so outraged his grandmother that she is no longer speaking to him

I don't blame her. There is only one Captain Fantastic, and his name is Steven Gerrard.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Last night, I found a gift certificate for $100 from LiveLob.com that I had forgotten about winning (from WGN radio last fall), and when I looked at it, I found out it had expired yesterday! Arghh! So, I just called them to see if they'd still let me cash it in, and the operator said "No problem." I ordered two lobster tails from Tristan da Cunha, two pounds of snow crab claws, and two crab cakes for delivery after Thanksgiving. NOM NOM NOM!! (I did end up spending some of my own cash for that order--$100 doesn't go too far with seafood!)

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

Was the state he was born in a state yet when he was born?

He was born in the Canal Zone. The question is whether or not territories count as natural-born, because there's never been a case that actually defines what exactly "natural-born" means.

Dude! Beaten by Kat's lightning-fast strike-through!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

did Kerry win the popular vote as well as Gore?

Nope.

Really? Where was Andrew Jackson born?

Nevermind. i really should google before I ask.

He was born before the US was the US (1767). There must be someone from that time who was born in a territory before it became a state that went on to be president?
