Hattie Carroll And God Send Him To Hell

In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level
And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
And that even the nobles get properly handled
Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em
And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom,
Stared at the person who killed for no reason
Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'.
And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished,
And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance,
William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence.

 

This also got a mention from waterytart on Page 2 of the "No respect for the dead" thread that dropped to Page 2 of Journalism topics only.

It's worth noting that two of the board's best Monty Python minds were the two people to bring out the dead, so to speak.

 

I'm feeling much better...

 

Imagine if a witch got a hold of you and turned you into a, um, Newt?

 

I got better...

 

Newt (Gingrich) does not wash off easily. I'm happy for you.

 

The late, great Molly Ivins once compared being criticized by Rush Limbaugh to "being gummed on the ankle by a newt."

 

I miss her.

 

As do I.
We needed her over the past four years more than ever.
And Lars-Erik Nelson made two.
