You married NM? Why?

Though, it sounds like you like that she is utterly dependent on you. My long-standing crush is waning.

I don't get many bugs. If there is a bug that is big enough and moves around enough to bother me, I put the cat near it and voila! The cat is entertained and the bug eventually dies and is eaten.

Alternatively, I drop something on the bug and stomp it.

This is out of control:

Quote:

On July 4 Nicole and Jeff Rank were at the West Virginia state capitol attending a tickets-only presidential visit -- officially not a campaign event. They had tickets, for which they were required to supply personal information including birthdates and Social Security numbers. The event was paid for with state and federal funds. The Ranks were in a crowd of people, many of whom were wearing pro-Bush t-shirts, but the Ranks' t-shirts read, "Love America, hate Bush." The Ranks concealed their shirts when they were admitted to the event, but when they later revealed their shirts they were asked to leave. They refused. They were handcuffed, removed from the event, and cited for trespassing.

Via Unfogged.

Apparently they've got Justice Scalia's bodyguards doing the security at Bush events now.

Hey, I am not totally dependent. I kill bugs.

Ty, and you remember when I googled the same type story from Billy's presidency. It is not out of control, it is business as usual.

I don't know what you're talking about. Do tell. And I doubt that Scalia would hire someone who worked for Bill, but maybe I need to be less cynical.

Good thing Al Franken wasn't there - lest they also get suckerpunched.

Can I buy you something? A nubile Amish girl perhaps?

Oh, I need women for sex. Just not with some psuedo call girl like NM. If I'm too lazy to pick up, I buy the real kind of call girls with cash instead of a nice dinner and drinks. That way, the hooker gets all of the money instead of half of what I spend. It's really a better deal b/c the psuedo whore gets pissed when I don't call her the next day. The real whore gets pissed when I do. Either way, you're buying the girl. But with the actual whore, you get a whore who knows she's a whore. The other girl doesn't know it, and what's the fun in that?

It actually sounds like they got off easy. the one guy, the long-time Federal employee should be fired for violating the Hatch act.
When Clinton would see an employee who didn't openly support him, he'd drop trou.

The guy Franken punched wouldn't shut up, as I recall. These people were wearing tee shirts.

So different types of free speech deserve to be treated differently.

Ty - how pragmatic of you.

Yet they wouldn't cover them or remove them?

You sound like a guy who has had his heart broken by a woman and is now lashing out in anger. Although I pity you, I also snicker at you, too.
