1. I am not normally a drinker but if I had to speak for the Republican Party,

I'd be so drunk about now I'd be passed out and laying in my own sick. On second thought, not even that would make it doable for me.

2. She just stopped in to see what condition her condition was in

Did she utter any famous last words? Like, "Dumb cops will never suspect a thing..."?
