1) Is it me, or is the national anthem getting slower each time it's sung? No offense to Bebe Niwans, but shit, I could have knit a scarf during "glaaaaare" alone. At this rate, sporting events and political rallies will be taking up 90% of the nation's time by the year 2050.
2) Damn, they so need a more impressive sounding gavel. "Thunk!" is never a triumphant sound.
3) No more taking classic songs and replacing the real words with dorky campaign-oriented words! In the name of Homeland Security! (Hey, why not, it seems to apply to everything else convenient these days.)

Posted by: tree at July 27, 2004 04:15 PMThere's a thought. Though she's likely to have trouble with that virgin-until-marriage bit. Her virginity stands a good chance of remaining intact, especially after the beheading. But I suspect she'll be somewhat handicapped in finding a suitable husband.
Unless she lives in Spooky Hollow?
