"Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant -
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone -
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)
"Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee -
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)"
-- Laura E. Richards, Eletelephony.

"If you think Andy Card was the problem, there aren't enough air holes in your bubble. For months, people have been telling the president someone has to go. And that someone...is Andy Card? Yeah, let's hold onto the torture guy, the no-armor guy, the Katrina guy, the guy who exposes CIA agents, and the guy who shoots old men in the face... No, the real problem was this monster, Andy Card. Who wants to spend more time with his family because they've never heard of him either!"

"suffering, to me, is boring. it's almost a responsibility to stay positive for your own sanity. i also think you can get more cynical and funny as you get older. you get a little rougher. you're allowed. when i'm 65, i'm going to swear like a sailor."
