You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Almost a third of the people polled there think contraception—not abortion, contraception—should be outlawed.

And over 60% don't know what the hell socialism is.

That was another "really?" result.

I think socialism as a term pretty much means "more like European countries" in current rhetoric.

Always Anti-fascist!

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

ION, I just made soup, only to find out we're out of spoons. My boss suggested making a "spoon" out of a plastic cup.
