I do have at least one observation about today's show. Isn't Greenlee supposed to be well, somewhat educated? So what the heck was up with her saying (not just once, but two or three times) "I GOT NOTHING!" Well, one thing's for sure. SHE'S GOT PLENTY OF IT, TOO. And evidently, she also threw her English diploma down the toilet along with her Dynomite-Kiddo comic books. And the clown nose. And the turkey baster. And all of the Proxy votes for Fusion's Re-Election For the Board of Directors. Cue Santana. "I ain't got nobody (That I can depend on)." I think the rest of the song is in Spanish, and unfortunately I ain't so good at that. I got nuttin else.

In English and Spanish. I heard this not 5 minutes from a friend: "nahzokay 'choozitair!"
