Hi CB,
Like a moth to the flame. :)
I have to admit, it's gotten a whole lot more fun now. You see, for a while there, I only had Trader Greg and jttmab to feel good about here. Then this ThirdEye shows up, with attitude. Then KLP brought out some old Mencken quotes. He's been a favorite of mine for a while. Mencken, not KLP (sorry, didn't mean to cause any confusion). Here's a couple more bon mots:
One for your side:
Courtroom - A place where Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot would be equals, with the betting odds favoring Judas.
One for my side, maybe... hehe:
Democracy is the theory that holds that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. Maybe that one's for your side, too?...... Hmmm.
One about the world's second oldest profession:
Lawyer - One who protects us from robbers by taking away the temptation.
And one on the condition we find ourselves in:
Nature abhors a moron.
Being an avid armchair ambulance chaser, I've found that the drama in the energy market has abated with the improved forecast for balmy, if not barmy, weather in California. They dodged the bullet and watching natural gas prices recede in Cali is a lot less fun that watching natural gas futures in the Florida Legislature rise to a crescendo of exquisite puffery, primal paunchiness, prevarication and pomposity. I fully expect that we won't have any Daniel Websters or Henry Clays orating there, but it will be fun to run the windbag meter there just the same. It should peg out. :)
BTW, how would you suggests to the chastened Sanders Sauls to go about gumming up the works at this juncture? Surely there a dozens of crafty manuevers he can engage in to thwart the will of the Florida Supremes, eh? This should be yet another lesson in American injuriousprudence.
[As an aside, I have to say that CNN takes the cake for total jerk of the day. They induced a 10 year old student reporter, an orphan from Roumania who has been adopted by a Tallahassee family, to comment on what she would report on Monday on her school TV news. She said "Count all the votes." The CNN reporter told her that that wasn't fair. That she was showing bias. Then the CNN team tried to get some digs in about Nicolas Ceaucescu. What an amazing display of poor taste, and malevolent misdirection. ]
TTFN, Ray :) |
