She passed out and away yesterday before having the misfortune of hearing any part of our Dear Leader's speech of brainlessness. I'm going to miss my mean little bun -- she was able to find the dried cranberries in crumpled up paper by just selectively chewing the folds. Bush would probably keep batting at the paper trying to find the cranberry. Dale,

Thanks. She passed out and away yesterday before having the misfortune of hearing any part of our Dear Leader’s speech of brainlessness. I’m going to miss my mean little bun — she was able to find the dried cranberries in crumpled up paper by just selectively chewing the folds. Bush would probably keep batting at the paper trying to find the cranberry.

When I am president the first thing I will do is sign an Executive Pet Immortality Order. (With a line-item veto for pet snakes.) Tess, I am so sorry about your rabbit.

It was special lab grade with no impurities. It needed a federal license and special locked room to store it in. Denatured alcohol which you can get at a hardware store is about 5% methanol which will kill or blind you. It also smells like methanol so it is hard to mistake. Now if you want to get drunk on alcohol you can get at a grocery store try this combination. Listerine - 43 proof Cooking wine - 30 proof Vanilla extract (the real stuff) 72 proof You have to be pretty desperate to down Listerine. Cooking wine has salt added, and considering how I have a hard time with sweet wine, salt is kind of a deal breaker. Vanilla extract is hard to take in large dosages and besides at $30-40 a pint you could just as well buy very fine Champagne. Bottoms up! Tess, the alcohol we used in the bio lab was 100% pure.

I took a total of about 1/2 shot, had one ripsnorting suicide strawberry soda pop, and that was the end of it. Memory is starting to clear up. It was 151 proof Puro (grain alcohol) my El Paso buddy brought from Mexico to the Big Apple that I let settle on my tongue straight up. He came from his high school tradition of cheap 151 proof and grape juice in [clean] garbage cans on the mudflats of the Rio Grande River - purple passion, he called it. He also liked to marinate pineapple chunks in Puro. Talk about getting right with Lobster while also doing one of the other essential food groups.

As would be sharing my essence with those women who seek it. (Dammit, it's been years since I've seen the movie, I'm a little rusty on those monologues.) Vodka would be an act of defiance!

Gawd -- it's perfect! Only I think the drink of choice in that case would be rainwater and grain alcohol. Cooper-- I heard him on Diane Rehm today also. When he said that Bush doesn't have the guts to admit his mistakes, I stood up and applauded. Unfortunately I was in my car in the time but I recovered quickly. Clarke was very matter of fact about it all, but you could just hear the loathing in his voice for this administration. Harold– “Purity of Essence”? Gawd — it’s perfect!

Jack D. Ripper: I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. I suppose we could substitute Islamofascist for Communist in today's modern world. Harold, I’m reminded of the immortal words of Gen. Jack D. Ripper:
