The over/under before someone accuses Powell of being a shill for the Bush Administration is 11 minutes.

the over wins...I'm in shock. "That's So Raven" must be on.

So, what, he's begun paraphrasing "Hotel California"?
Cab - we've counted yours as said accusation. So we came in on the under. Payoff is getting to be a part of a pyramid of meth lab suspects busted handing out religious materials at a greenpeace march sponsored by the publishers of the leather-bound version of "heather has two mommies" (the edition with the sweaty pillow fight scene on page 69).

VM - Close, but I came in at exactly 11 minutes, so the money goes to the house. The payoff doesn't sound half bad tho - you know, with all the drugs and chicks and leather and all. Next time I just may lose on purpose.

Colin who? Oh you mean the former Secretary of State that went to the UN with a pack of lies, just to point out how the US military can be used against whoever we want, whenever we want, and we don't actually need a reason. That Colin Powell?
Yeah now that he's a citizen I'm sure he'll be much more influential.

I used to do lights and sound for a top-40 rock and roll bar band in the mid-1980s. At the end of the last set the lights would come up, it would be last call and our lead singer would slur into the microphone, "It's hotel-motel time! You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here!"

I think the offer was already made. Rumor has it that the three that hanged themselves were headed for Saudi Arabia.
Maybe Gitmo is better than the alternatives.
