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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think it was Cordelia who said it best, "Oooh, those grapes taste sour."

I swear it's almost enough to make me go over to Free Republic and wallow in the wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Almost, but life's too short.

There's a women's health clinic across the street and down a few doors from my comic-book store. Whenever I go in the middle of the day to pick up my comics, there's always one middle-aged man faithfully protesting in front of the women's clinic, with his minivan draped with protest signs parked right across the street from the clinic.

So on Friday when I went to pick up my comics, there was a tiny sign on the door of the comics store saying "Back in 5 minutes!" So I sat in the car, contemplating whether to go give the protester shit. And then I realized that he was probably having his worst week in EIGHT YEARS.

So I didn't. But I did wallow in the schadenfreude.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait. Was Ugly Betty new last week? Because my DVR didn't pick it up, but then I saw a reference to the episode on a blog.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

During the three governors controversy, Georgia had two men who claimed to be governor and an existing governor who refused to leave until the controversy was settled.

It is like those Popes in the middle ages!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hey, I'm just glad that Blago is taking the heat for wackiest governor and letting Palin fade back into the ice fog of obscurity.

CNN was telling me that Blago said he considered offering the senate seat to Oprah.

So, I have the day off, and I could be productive and get things done, but it's -18 C outside and there's a CSI NY marathon on Spike. I think I'm going to let inertia win.

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

CNN was telling me that Blago said he considered offering the senate seat to Oprah.

That would be awesome on just so many levels. Her show would go away. Al Franken's comedy roots would immediately become less interesting. And her show would go away.

"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

Please. She'd film it live from the Governor's office.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
