-->'''The Girl''': ''Damn, we're juggling a load of [=MacGuffins=]. And I've heard [=MacGuffins=] are insanely high in calories... [[{{AWorldWidePunomenon}} Get it? Muffin? MacGuffin?]]''

* {{Angerish}}: Hope is [[https://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.2042.html reduced to this]] after Bishop Bouldin {{hand wave}}s his ignorance of the more powerful ghost by saying "There's a difference between your ghosts and my God."

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Agent 146/Clarice deals with ghosts on a near-daily basis, but refuses to believe that [[spoiler:the Girl is an [[{{The Empath}} empath]]]].

* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: The Girl. She has a day job, albeit a really sucky one.
-->''Sometimes when we're bored, the ghost of Ben Franklin and I get hammered on old scotch and he goes five hours into the future to cherry-pick high-yield stocks for day trading.''
** Averted as of the TimeSkip, where the Girl has her medical degree and is working at a hospital.

* FurryDenial: [[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.96.html Speedy]].

* RapunzelHair: Mary Murphy's long red hair works both to emphasize her femininity and as a reminder that if you genuinely piss her off, she will destroy you. It also seeks out and soaks up any and all nearby sources of water.

%%%%* RapunzelHair: Mare's long red hair.

* SmallAnnoyingCreature: The Bitty Bush is a [[StrawmanPolitical not-so-subtle jab]] at former U.S. President UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush, who is famous for his [[{{Malaproper}} verbal flubs.]] As a result, half the things it says are [[NonSequitur non-sequiturs]] and the other half are a result of it misinterpreting the Fed's commands. In addition, the Pocket President activates whenever the chip holder feels a particularly strong emotion, which means it's constantly activating against the Fed's will, and even occasionally ''while he's sleeping.'' Suffice it to say, the Fed takes the first chance he can to get rid of the Bitty Bush.
** A bit of FridgeBrilliance, here. First, the program was designed in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, and the people in charge of the program's funding legitimately thought Bush's visage would boost morale for the government agents. Second, [[spoiler: the Bitty Bush is ''meant'' to grind at the will of the chip holders, so they would become more emotionally withdrawn and mentally exhausted, thus making them easier to manipulate.]]

* BilingualBackfire: Not only does Lincoln [[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.1456.html speak Japanese]], he speaks ''ancient'' [[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.1462.html Japanese.]]

-->'''The Fed''': ''Oh good, the ghost of Benjamin Franklin has arrived. Now things can get back to normal. That's the sound of a mutant conservative koala bear in a screaming fight with an EXTREMELY pissed-off Liberal wanna-be journalist. To the best of my knowledge, it's a first for the record books.''

A journalism intern haunted by the ghost of Benjamin Franklin finds she is on a terrorist watchlist. When she confronts the unnamed Fed who is set to watch her, things get seriously, fantastically weird. There's [[GovernmentConspiracy government conspiracies]], a talking super-genius koala, and, oh yeah, forty billion undead pixies.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: The Fed asked George Washington - who had made his disapproval about the Agents' ongoing plans clear - what he would've done in his place. When Washington tries to duck the question, the Fed asks him point blank [[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.1093.html "Would you have run?]] Washington, to his credit, answers honestly, "Yes."

* BilingualBackfire: Not only does Lincoln [[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/woodpulp/1.1456.html speak Japanese]], he speaks ''ancient'' [[http://www.agirlandherfed.com/woodpulp/1.1462.html Japanese.]]
