Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I can't.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

So. I was really, really productive today, so I can spend the last hour of work watching Brees teach the crowd at Lucy's to do the pre-game chant, right?

And then put it on my work breakdown under Misc.?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And oh, Dick Francis died.

Aw. Luckily, I still don't think I've read all of his books.

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

In Utah, a plan to cut 12th grade

The proposal by state Sen. Chris Buttars would chip away at Utah's $700-million shortfall. He's since offered a toned-down version: Just make senior year optional.

He also thinks high schoolers don't need school buses, since most of them have cars anyway. And whenever he sees a school bus, it's empty.

On behalf of the state of Utah, I apologize for him and the idiot district that keeps re-electing him.

"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

I'm waiting to hear that he thinks schools should be shut down entirely so kids can be home-schooled by their father's assorted wives.

Well, public education is a socialist plot, aimed at the indoctrination of our children.

I wish I was kidding.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ugh. I felt awful with an incipient cold this morning, but I'm beginning to think the sudafed is worse. My brain is swimming.

I hate that! I almost always find the meds to be worse that not-all-that-sick. And yet? I keep trying them!
