Well, yes, sometimes Mr. Dunkin votes with us. But remember, Mr. Franks doesn’t always vote with us, especially on budget items and tax issues. Then there’s Mr. Drury, and frankly, we never know how he’s going to vote. So, as you can see, I’m a very confused man most of the time.
Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whoever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya. And by that, I mean, it’s time for the worker of the week award.

“Short of either side acquiring the… uh, let’s say (to avoid being banned), intestinal fortitude to craft a reasonable compromise, this thing’s never gonna end.”
The Speaker said I would assist and here I am. Normally, the Speaker makes hand motions like this… In a moment we’ll go over how he eats the daily apple.

If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos…then you probably haven’t completely understood the seriousness of the situation.
