'You have been tried, waterboarded and convicted...'

'By the way, due to the high cost of electricity, we're forced to bill this to your survivor's estate.'

"...The phrase 'an eye for an eye' never meant anything to me anyway!"

"You would have thought this sufficient but apparently I'm to be villified as well."

"O.K., O.K., people - we're not workshopping these, they're already set in stone."

Dialogue

"Intelligent design...well, duh!"

"Now that's a win."

Changing Minds

"Strawman argument terrorises conversation... News at eleven."

"That's six 'noes' and one 'aye', the ayes have it"

"Mainstream? Who's to say what's mainstream?"

"Defense budget... Do you have any idea how much catnip $700 billion would buy?"

'I know it's controversial, but my calculations prove beyond doubt that a nod is BETTER than a wink.'

"You can't offend me. I never mix religion or politics with reality."

Oz Debating Society. You can't refute everything I say just by call it a "straw man" argument.

The Church of DanaeDanaeism: 'And let such sacrilege go uncontested? Never! I demand equal time for alternate explanations of things.'

You're on "Ask Sadie." What's your problem?! Super delegates. A candidate could win the most votes in the primaries but lose anyway of the superdelegates want someone else! Can you believe that?

Gets the blood pumping. I guess.

Like Minded

In my day, when a body said I wonder why dust bunnies are called dust bunnies, it led to all sorts of delightful speculation. We could while away hours debating whether it was a marketing ploy by big broom ... or whether it dated back to Napoleon, who had a fetish for dirty rabbits.
