Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if i wanted to sit down. when i saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. i'll just put the stool out there and i'll talk to mr obama and ask him why he didn't keep all of the promises he made to everybody.

My god, sweetness beyond words, make bitter all the carnal comfort that draws me from love of the eternal and lures me to its evil self by the sight of some delightful good in the present. let it not overcome me, my god. let not flesh and blood conquer me. let not the world and its brief glory deceive me, nor the devil trip me by his craftiness. give me courage to resist, patience to endure, and constancy to persevere. give me the soothing unction of your spirit rather than all the consolations of the world, and in place of carnal love, infuse into me the love of your name.
