This is mine.
Blackadder with underpants on his head and pencils stuck in his nose, saying, "This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you've got a moment, it's a twelve-storey crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying 'This Is a Large Crisis'. A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me two pencils and a pair of underpants."

This showed up in my inbox for whatever reason, and I have thoughts. Chiefly: When did it become a good idea for a political movement to say that they want a particular group "rotting"?
E-mail sponsored by the RNC asking for help keeping Alligator Alcatraz open because "violent criminals" should be "rotting behind bars like they deserve."
