The scariest ones are those that say I love you

1) It was just after he was released from jail in the early 1990's that Johnson, a former self-described ''big time'' cocaine dealer, turned to evangelical Christianity and clown dancing more or less simultaneously. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/19/magazine/19CLOWN.html?pagewanted=print

2) Dear Thomas Friedman,

In regards to yesterday’s op-ed piece, what the fuck? The VP is not the master signifier of Presidential decision-making; it’s like you’re talking . Stringing together adverbs ending in –ly does not raise the dramatic stakes of one’s polemic; it’s just clumsy.

3) QUESTION: Thank you. Senator, in his pen and pad briefing this morning, House Majority Leader DeLay said, regarding Iraq, that, "The strategy is working. It's an incredibly fast schedule. Nobody gives anyone any credit. The quality of life and the economy is improving every day."

And he went on to say that, "Everyone that comes back from Iraq is amazed at the difference they see on the ground and they see on their TV sets."

Could you address why the House majority leader would have such a different view of what's going on in Iraq from you?

BIDEN: No.

QUESTION: Thank you.

4) I said Spurs in six or Pistons in seven, so I’m hoping to see the latter realized. It’s been a weird series – it’s hard not to like the Pistons. Every time I see Ben Wallace’s face on the screen, I think his is a face that would look fantastic on an album cover. 42% free throw shooter, though, which is worse than the average 2^nd grader, I’m guessing. Tim Duncan looked like he was having spasms in his hands when he shot free throws in game five, and holy Christ Robert Horry is all I can say.
