...Well, tough jujubes, Tony," I said.) I'm on a multi-year contract here, and nowhere does it say that my listings have to be complete, or, for that matter, incomplete, or, for that matter, unfunny, or, for that matter, anything other than funny. There is really no bona fide outlet for truly creative writing around here, and so I sort of reserve this little niche, this little corner of the sky, this little piece of the proverbial pie, for whatever the hell I, the writer-as-writer (Read: WRITER), want to write.

...plane tickets, quickly paid back to his campaign fund. But Ford had violated Congress's Code of Official Conduct, which states that "a member shall keep his campaign funds separate from his personal funds" and "shall expend no funds from his campaign account not attributable to bona fide campaign purpose." Such separations can be difficult and ambiguous, as any taxpayer knows who has dealt with (and perhaps fudged) the line between personal and business expenses...

...more delightful episodes in the debate occurred a while back, when the Senate overrode Ford's veto of a bill to expand school breakfast and lunch programs. Maryland's wry Charles Mathias Jr., a bona fide liberal, took the floor to support the override and also sound a warning in the form of an ode to the old brown...
