I see. Perhaps you could explain the lack of importance of the Iraq war to the President so that he can tell David Gregory not to worry about his kids after all.

now you're just arguing to argue. your new PB nickname is "Rural spanky."

Do as Dick Cheney does
 

My personal advice to President Bush would be to tell David Gregory "Go fuck yourself" at each and every press conference.

• REGARDING PETE SEEGER'S REQUESTS FOR A HAMMER AND HIS DESCRIPTIONS OF WHAT HE WOULD DO IF HE HAD ONE.
  - - - -
  
  Dear Mr. Seeger,
  
  We regret to inform you that we have declined your application for $25 to be used in the purchase of a hammer. We approve loans that make good sense for all parties involved, loans that are investments in the potential profitability of the recipient's enterprise. This, in turn, ensures repayment of the initial capital. While $25 might seem an insignificant sum to a bank of our size, we could not approve it, largely because we frankly just didn't understand the request. Seriously, long after we dismissed the application, we were still trying to figure out what you were talking about. It haunts us, to be honest.
  
  You say that with your proposed new hammer, you'd hammer in both the morning and the evening and that you would do so all over this land. (You're going to need to raise additional capital for that travel, by the way. Has that ever crossed your mind?) But the real head-scratcher is this proposed security implementation. How would you hammer out danger? Or warning? Wouldn't it just be a loud whack whack whack? How would anyone anywhere understand that as a security alert? I mean, are we missing something?
  
  Again, all we have to go on is your loan application here. You should type those, by the way.
  
  As for establishing some sort of sibling harmony with a hammer, we just ... we don't know what to say about that one. Some of us have been staring at the words on the page there for a while. We were here until, like, 9:30 last night. And you should know that there has been a spirited and still ongoing debate about alerting the authorities, since establishing love between your brothers and your sisters with a ... hammer?! ... has many of us very nervous.
  
  Again, we're sorry we could not help. Thanks for the enclosed picture of you in a turtleneck holding an acoustic guitar. Although that weirded us out a little, too.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  P. Yarrow
  First Commerce Bank

In the spirit of bi-partisanal fairiness to Mr. slave, perhaps he is too old to join the military? Or gay and he told. Or both.

Do as Dick Cheney does
 

In bi-partisanal fairness to D. Gregory, he is a very good dancer and fluent in the french. Vive la Twist!

I think that everyone will mainly agree that I am mostly correct when I say that the above is a concession that the exchange ended as a Hank loss. Buck up, though -- even the great Denny McLain lost a few on his way to 30 plus wins for the Tigers in '68.

He lost many more since.

It'll only be after his 4th Memorial Day beer that it dawns on Hank that this is what NotBob meant as well. The pathos and ennui caused by this discovery, and the awareness that another notch is added into the "loss" column, will be crushing indeed.


Well played, NB. Well played.

ummm, I think you are in over your head.

Huh. Weird.

Ancestry.com released a bunch of military records yesterday, so I dutifully looked up my grandfathers. A guy with one of my grandfather's names who was born in 1886 in Ostra, Poland, at the age of 56, joined up on April 26, 1942. Stocky guy, from the looks of it. 5'5" and 160. Scar on his nose, according to the form he filled out.

I wonder if they let him in.

My grandfather that shared his name, by the way, joined up on September 11, 1941 in Hartford, Connecticut. He had three years of high school, and was 5'7" 142. He hadn't yet married my grandmother.

For some reason, I can't find my other grandfather, and his name is the more unusual of the two.

Strange, that I what I keep telling people to tell the client on each conference call...

my ruined weekend
 

So it looks like I may have torn my acl and will be holed up in a recliner all weekend.

Damnitall!

In the spirit of bi-partisanship I am thinking of doing something to further the cause of bi-partisan political rancor in our nation. This weekend I am officially going on a hunger strike to provoke the impeachment of the war criminal Bush; however, if my demands are not met by Tuesday morning of next week, I will publicly throw in the towel and hold an internet newsconference to proclaim the Democrat leadership the America-hating douchebag losers that we already know that they are.

Anyone wanna join me? I have lots of beer.

Do as Dick Cheney does
 

I once directed that line at an opposing counsel during settlement negotiations. While well-deserved, it did not advance the ball.
