You wouldn't think those things would normally be mutually exclusive.

Keep pushin' pal...

My orange cat woke me up three minutes before my alarm this morning, and you know what? Those three minutes were crucial. My cat is a jerk.

Newt, Callista, since you weren't paying attention during the Gospel reading yesterday, let me remind you that Jesus didn't say you could bring a camera crew and their microphones with you into your inner room.

Considering that most opinions held by Republicans tend to be contrary to what Jesus taught, I'm actually impressed by her piety.

Heh, unbeknownst to everyone, I've been secretly stockpiling trauma nurses as part of my zombie apocalypse preparedness plan. I keep them in the gun safe, between the ammo and the canned food.

Somehow, the image of Mrs. Black's portrait being held in place by the aid of flesh-eating bacteria is more fitting than not.

I already have to drive an hour to get to the nearest competent hospital, and lucky me, it's Catholic. Other than that, I'd have to drive three hours. Your privilege is showing. Yes, I have the financial ability and the paid sick leave banked to make such a trip, but what about the people who can't afford it? Why…

Well, there have been a lot of aspirin recalls lately, didn't you hear?

Children without married parents are disproportionately children of poor parents. Marriage doesn't make for healthier, happier homes...not living in poverty does.

*Cringe* Mr.61Below says 'irregardless' and never uses seen/saw correctly. Usually I'm able to rationalize that he's a product of his dialect, but I do sometimes snap. Agh!

'Incredulous' earned me four years of ribbing from my aunt's boyfriend. Incredulous, I tell you. People really need to get a handle on those inferiority complexes.

This could be the opposite of the 5/8th's compromise!

Watch out, or they'll start using your bloody tampons as evidence at your manslaughter trial.
