You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

mac did, because I am "always mad at him, and I am mean, and I should be ashamed."

It's a better reason than adults who call 911 because their restaurant service is bad.

Poor MsBelle.

But he also said he wouldn't support any cuts in defense, Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid -- which, along with debt payments, would put more than two-thirds of the budget off limits.

Add in the war on terror and unemployment and welfare benefits that's about 87% of the budget. Budget cutting is tough.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

One of my co-workers who was laid off last week just stopped by to say hi before heading out to lunch with a few friends, and she told us more details on her severance package. We had been hearing from previous laid-off people that they were getting two weeks per year with a maximum of 26 weeks, but Nancy told us that she got capped at 38 weeks. If I got laid off this year, I would be eligible for 34 weeks, so that was good to hear.

Nancy is 70 years old (which I would never have guessed--I thought she was around 60), so she's been collecting social security for five years and will be going on Medicare when the insurance runs out here. The younger people who were laid off are the ones I'm worried about.

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

Anyone ever done a "stop payment" on a check? Is it a big deal to do?

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
