Today in Suck

The blame for the smog rule delay goes to the White House, which made EPA back off announcing a rule that would be far more protective than the cruel joke that the Bush Admin played on us. Why? Is somebody afraid of what the Chamber of Commerce might say?

I saw the eclipse last night and just sent off the decree to be entered by the traditional court Back Home in the adoption of the baby Indian girl I’ve been working on. Press ‘send’ an an angel gets her wings.

My clients are paid up, my wife, son and family love me (and I love them as well), and we are well, safe and warm this winter.

I just had to take a few minutes to think about that case.

Blessings to you all this Christmas.

I am literally wallowing (just like the cute bear in the pic) in stuff like this FB post:

Change your profile picture to black to mourn the death of the United States military as we know it.

IMO
it gets no better than this.

@Capt Howdy: We should come up with a cocktail recipie and call it “Wingnut Tears”. So sweet…

@redmanlaw: Where is Back Home?

@redmanlaw: Well, my goodness, Blessings to you as well. Merry, merry Christmas!!!

@redmanlaw: Thanks. Good on you. Lang may yet lum reek.

@Tommmcatt is with Karin Marie on This One: One part vodka; one part Grenadine; four parts cat piss. Serve with maraschino cherry and curled lemon zest.

@Tommmcatt is with Karin Marie on This One:

yes
with absinthe

@Benedick:

and absinthe
my recently discovered new favorite drink

Jon Stewart once said there are two types of men in the world: regular and Irish asshole. He was so right.

@jwmcsame: A Pueblo Indian village in northern New Mexico.

@redmanlaw:
Same to you.

@redmanlaw: Thank you for presenting us Today in Not-Suck. I am so happy for that little girl. Are you going to the adoption hearing when the judge signs the papers to officially finalize the adoption? Those are happy days for the family law judges.

@SanFranLefty: Won’t be there for when the judge signs the decree memorializing the decision to permit the adoption, the first ever in our tribal court.

/ off to help create a tribally chartered health care corporation by tomorrow. Laters.

@Capt Howdy: How do you drink it? My nephew brought me a bottle back from Prague and I have yet to crack it open.

@karen marie doesn’t want to know:
google. thats what I did. the pageantry is half the fun. like rolling a joint.

you need very cold water a sugar cube and a martini glass and a fork. place the cube on a fork placed in a way to hold the cube over the glass and oh so slowly pour the cold water over the cube until it melts. then stir and dissolve the sugar and maybe add an ice cube.

I tried just mixing it all together and it really didnt taste as good. which is to say it tasted even more like nyquill.

but oh baby. at 198 proof it works.

thats about one ounce each of spirits and cold water.

@Capt Howdy: Doesn’t the wormwood make you crazy? Of course my question would be: how could you tell?

@Capt Howdy: You can still buy sugar cubes? Who knew!

@Benedick:

no thats all bunk. it was never poison. just very strong. read this wiki. very interesting and informative.

@karen marie doesn’t want to know:
I was as surprised as you but there they were on the supermarket shelf.

@Capt Howdy:
now we can’t talk about DEXTER here anymore. tommie is in season 2 and i said something about deb knowing and he’s miffed. c’mon tommie, the way she looks at him searchingly with her eyes jumping around?
anyhoo, that’s ALL i gave up…so, SHHH. wasn’t it a fabulous end to a fabulous series? i LOVED the ending.

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ:
he had to be talking to dennis leary….

@redmanlaw: @SanFranLefty:
aww, you’re all making me all christmas teary–cut it out. i spent last night throwing up. funny, i’m not interested in alcohol today. a herd of wildebeasts are stampeding through my head.

@Capt Howdy: I was once a green fairy. A big green fairy.

@Benedick:
but you, mumsi, can still make me laugh. what do we think of this commoner cate? would di approve? i’m bitter that she got the ring. it should be in the tower of london. sniff.

@Benedick:
you handed me that on a silver platter and i got nuthin. see, that’s why your scribbling gets produced and my publisher(s) to be tell me, “keep writing.”

@baked:
which ending. season 4 or the last one a few days ago. both pretty terriffic endings.

tcatt. catch up dude. so we can talk.

@baked:
what I wanted to brag about months ago was that I totally nailed the ending of season 4. the BIG ending. months before it happened. right here in these threads.

@Benedick: And now, just once a year, right? On St. Patty’s.

@Tommmcatt is with Karin Marie on This One:
+1

@Capt Howdy:
the BIG end of series ending…WOW, i wouldn’t have imagined it. but as aforementioned, i’m limited. i’m glad i missed that. you would have tommie AND me on your ass!

@baked: Probably, but in my experience, it applies to damn near all of them.

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ:
who DO do you want to keep there in arizona???
i was there once…they let me in! i was only in scottsdale. it was hot. and stupefyingly boring for a non-golfer.

TJ/ noge, it just hit me–the Worst Wife Cheater award should be The Tiger Woods Invitational !!! smart money is on johnny mill, try and debate against “she was in remission.”

@baked: My dog. She’s smarter than all of them.
