...then have a one night stand with her. The actual meanings of these terms are not important, but the idea behind them is that you work an important job involving lots of money and long hours in an important building, and that building is most likely incredibly tall or at least covered with windows. Furthermore, you have beautiful mahogany furniture in your office, and (to paraphrase Will Ferrell) you have a library filled with many old and important books...

...jiffy, and then they wait. Talk turns to food. "You plan on eating alligator?" one team member asks Lt. Chuck Wagoner of the West Chester, Ohio, Fire Department, pointing at a huge knife hung on Wagoner's shoulder strap. "Trust me. They're nice to have," says the tall and stocky former Navy SEAL. "It's for two-legged animals as well as four." Once shuttled to the Lake Charles Municipal Airport the group sits for an hour or more awaiting helicopters to transport them.

That's fair enough.

I look forward avidly to the Jolie Administration...

Maybe, someday, President Allen, who seems headed for success in her fictional world at least. At the end of the pilot, she gives a speech so melodramatically stirring that even Templeton's Grinchy heart swells three sizes bigger.
