It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I agree this is wonderful in so very many ways.  The one that confuses me most though is the sneaking suspicion I have that Michael Nyman did the soundtrack.

Incidentally I also recommend this magnificent attack ad:

That woman struck me as not very bright ever since she was McCain's adviser.  Then again, it's tough to look smart while delivering the Republican talking points.

Yeah, was gonna post that, that's the craziest attack ad I've EVER seen.  Who knew this could happen over the race for coroner of New Orleans?

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

In Cincinnati our coroner is elected, but the dude (a Democrat) ran unopposed the last 2 elections.  I'd probably vote for the dude even if he had a Republican running against him; I've gotten to hang out with him a few times & he's hilarious.

How would a coroners political beliefs have any impact on his job performance?

That Carly Fiorina ad is fucking terrible.
Disagree.  It is so awful it is awesome.

I also fucking despise people who use only their first names when they want me to think they are engaged in serious business.  "Carly for Senate" (or whatever office she is running for) destroys her cred right there.
