Hell, he'll be nominated for the federal bench soon. He'll be okay.

Wouldn't you like to follow Ty around one day? I mean "follow" is a bad word choice, because he just sits at the computer reading blogs and crap like that- but still just to get a sense of how little time he must work or interact with people would be fascinating.

Is it daylight savings that has made you so bitter? Christ.
In other years, another example of lawyers being lovable:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/04/....ap/index.html
"Martinez did not identify the aide [who was "unilaterally" responsible for the memo], but The Washington Post said he was the senator's legal counsel, Brian Darling." |

I'm guessing he's a social cripple with no life outside of his blogs and his imaginary computer friends. I get a sense of this through his posting style. Well, I've only read one or two of his posts, but I think I really know what he's like. |

Oooh, and from NYT article about a hold-up on the confirmation of the guy nominated for EPA chief:
"Ms. Boxer's objections were based on a little-known research program near Jacksonville, Fla., sponsored by the agency and the American Chemistry Council, that offered money to low-income families willing to allow the agency to measure the effects of pesticides on their children under one year of age. The project, called Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study, or Cheers, was suspended last year after negative public reaction that prompted the agency to call in outside experts to assess its feasibility.
The program was limited to families in Duval County that routinely used pesticides inside their homes. It offered parents $970 over two years if they made sure their young children went about their usual activities as the use of pesticides continued. Researchers would then visit the home every three to six months to collect data. "
I like the name. "Cheers." Perky.
Yes, I'm sure that there is a different, nicer-sounding way to spin the program, and that the damn liberal media has spun it so sound as bad as possible. But it's kind of an unerasable initial strike against them when they call a "keep exposing your kids to pesticides!" program something deceptively perky. |

Why? Because he does not share his Rockpile Zinfandel?

He's married Fringe, quit trying to scare the other girls off- he is not date-bait.

Uncanny. It's like you've known me for years.

The '02 was so good that they raised the price $5 for the '03, which is just out.
Today's happy news is that my local wine shoppe has found more of the Klinker Brick '02 zin -- not as good as the Rockpile but much less expensive. When you hang out by yourself as much as I do, you end up drinking a lot.

But, they had such success with the Tuskeegee Study under similar circumstances.
