I'm absolutely certain she doesn't need you speaking on her behalf.

Or me either, come to think of it.

She had the boorish manners of a Yalie.

IMHO, the book is much better at telling bin Laden's story and Zawahiri's story than with the other two, but we haven't really gotten into that yet on the PB. The author is a staff writer at the New Yorker, and some of the book was published there first.

Is Quiggan going to participate?

cute: just rec.

The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.

The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the
country.

The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles

USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don’t really understand The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts.

The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn’t mind running the country — if they could find the time — and if they didn’t have to leave Southern California to do it.

The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a far superior job of it, thank you very much.

The New York Daily News is read by people who aren’t too sure who’s running the country and don’t really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.

The New York Post is read by people who don’t care who’s running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.

The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but need the baseball scores.

The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren’t sure there is a country … or that anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist dwarfs who also happen to be illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy provided, of course, that they are not Republicans.

The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.

None of these are read by the guy who is running the country into
the ground.

Thurgreed's lobbying efforts unpersuasive to the House.

You just can't go for 5 minutes without reminding ppnyc that we all went to law school and she didn't, can you? Bitch.

What is the book about?

It's a motivational tale - a bit like the "Little Engine that Could"

I really could care less, dude on that point. seriously.

Actually I find that amusing. I hang out with attys all day and the boundaries are fluid why would that bother me?

Good for you. Be the bigger person. Don't let petty boasters like bnb get you down. I bet she only doesn't like you because you are a paralegal. Elitist bitch.

a) I am above dumpster diving [okay only if it is great food]

b) I'm on a diet, and eat very little at lunch

c) I don't go near donuts, perhaps you have mistaken me for Fringey

I'm confused. Are you saying you somehow didn't take advantage of the time to yourself by taking a nap? Does not compute. That is, it does not compute unless you missed out on making a cream pie first.

Naps are the greatest invention ever invented.
