Let’s all hear it for the ABA’s 2007 Lawyer of the Year. In case you don’t know (or can’t guess), it’s none other than Alberto “VO5” Gonzalez himself. What, you thought it would be some crusading environmental lawyer? Or maybe an attorney representing poor folks, or one working for social justice or to stem corporate greed? Oh, you’re so silly.
It’s kinda like the AMA naming Josef Mengele 1944’s doctor of the year.
This is a joke, right? 😮 Like not the bestlawyer, just the most well known, like Hitler being “Man of the Year” for TIME magazine in 1936 or whatever-please tell me it’s just a joke :crap:
BTW- since you now know Kent Jones is leaving- Rachel hasn’t completely denied she’s talking to MSNBC, just that “It’s been greatly exaggerated” 😯

:reaper: :reaper: :reaper: :reaper: Whatever :sheep: le
Ewwww Its Thursday again :sheep: le :reaper: :reaper: :reaper:
:pirate: :cold: :yippee: ARTNORTON IS ALPHA :yippee: :pirate:
:pirate: :cold: :yippee: Fred is Beta .. Danu is pleased. :pup: A!I!V! Tankard of Tea :joe: Cheers All!
Yeah, they say it’s because he’s “most talked-about attorney.” Still seems pretty lame to me. I mean, picking a freakin’ incompetent criminal – talked about or not – seems like a bad idea for a professional organization. I find it hard to believe Alberto is in any way good for the legal profession.
Good morning :joe: :joe: Today, being Thursday, is the last day of the working week for me. I’m waiting for the solstice, which is December 22 this year, so that the days will start getting longer again. I HATE waking up in the dark.
I’d sooner wake up in the dark than go home in the dark, personally.
If there was an award for worst ‘progressive talk show host”, Jay Marvin would win it hands down- most incompetent, slowest on the uptake, most boring, most drugaddeled :slap: :fu:
Supposed to get some some this afternoon, but only 4 – 7 inches. The heavy stuff is supposed to fall just to the south of us (which means my sister should get dumped on pretty good). Then we wait to see how the Nor’easter heading up the coast shapes up. If it hits right, we could get blizzard conditions when it runs through, and then lake effect after it passes (had one of these a few years back that dumped four feet of snow on us in about 12 hours). Or, we could get absolutely nothing. More likely, something in between.
Anybody ever listen to Lionel? I just wonder if he’s as shitty as he seemed to me when I checked out his “featured” clips, before deciding to not bother with him. There sure is less and less out there worth listening to. Pretty soon, we’re just going to have to do our own shows, I guess.
AARgh is taking away something else we love. You know what? I officially hate AAR now. When talking about it with others, I will have nothing good to say. Except for Sam of course, but I’m always waiting for them to get rid of Sam too. I’m so disgusted I don’t even feel like writing a letter. :fu: Green, you’re no Kermit!
Oh, Ike Turner croaked. Yeah, apparently a bit of a douche, but still a classic. Everybody’s freakin’ dying on me. Now I know how my parents felt.
Cool! Now can we have glow in the dark dogs? :pup:
That would come in pretty handy when the little bastids try to trip you on the stairs in the dark (you might get the same effect by shoving a million candle power flashlight down their throats, though changing the batteries would be problematic, unless you could just shove their tails into an outlet to recharge them).
Now, if they can make it so that cat puke glows in the dark, that would be really useful.
Lionel despises his audience. He shares this trait with a bunch of traditional Rethug hosts such as Hugh Hewitt and Savage Wiener.
I still liked PJ’s comment re Trebek, “I’ll take myocardial infarctions”
VIGILANCE!
Thanks again, pj. I was a little afeard to cross that river as α.
If I lost you would I 🙁
:fire: <–Rocket 88 :gate:
Say what you will…
See, and my wife told me she thought that was stupid. But hell, if I stopped posting stupid stuff, I’d be posting nothing at all.
Snow fluffies coming down, and they said it wasn’t supposed to start until this afternoon.
😳 I use to listen to Lional until……..
He was very conservative so I turned off his show then when rechecked I heard “Lional” was taken off-air and was listening to Lee Rayburn, which I enjoyed then oneday to change back to a newer revamped Lional. I became bored. His humour was interesting but dragged onnnnnnnnnnn…….. :yawn: …A!I!V! :fist:
She calls that a stupid, this is stupid.
Now that she’s all certificated :tap:
BTW re Rocket 88 🙄 :yawn: = :dancers: Don’t Fear The :reaper: by LadyFire :hubba: :dancers: of :reaper: A!I!V! :nana:
back to work :spank: 🙁
Chimney. Smoke. Our Wish Cannot Be Broke.
Madonna in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? I’m sorry, I just don’t think that’s appropriate. Maybe if there was a “pop” hall of fame, or a fluff hall of fame, or a belly button lint hall of fame, or even a cotton candy hall of fame. But I just don’t see her as being “rock.” If she’s in, then the Archies need to be in, too.
The Archies aren’t in, are they? 😕
CNN reports the Republicans in the Senate block new taxes on Big Oil’s record profits. That means Big Oil is stealing every penny they can from Amercian taxpayers through high prices and tax breaks garnted by the Republican Congresses of the last decade and the current Big Business First collection of Republiicans are aiding and abetting these obscene profits.
And the Republican Party claims to be working for Americans? Other than Dick Cheney, which Americans are the thugs in Congress working for?
Very bad crop this year for the RRHoF but I am great with Leonard Cohen and the Ventures.
Looking forward to the George Mitchell HoF in a few so maybe people will get of of Barry’s f*ing back.
Contempt.
Of course, everybody under the age of 100 is now asking, “who the hell are the Archies?”
And the
DickDave Clark 5, don’t forget them!Yeah, I think I caught that bug.
Thanks for the congrats, PJ.
Off to take my first Amtrak train ride, if I can find the place.
The Archies aren’t in, are they?

The Archies aren’t in. Yet. But they ARE eligible. Don’t give Jann Wenner any ideas.
OK, the roads are officially pretty shitty out there today. Very slow going. If this keeps up, I may have rethink the whole snow tire thing.
Nah.
Okay, along the lines of the Ginger v. Mary Ann debate, I pose the question: Betty, or Veronica? Or Big Ethel, even.
Snow Falling Awwwww A!I!V! :dancers: :pirate:
Well, I guess the plans I had for Jodie and me are officially off. Time to work on a plan for Jodie, Cydney, and me, I guess.
I thought your Trebek comment was pretty funny. How can it not be??
Infarction alone is funny, IMHO. As long as you don’t get one when somebody pulls your finger.
It’s rained, snowed and sleeted, so far this afternoon. Even the dogs don’t want to go out. It is really awful out there.
I am shocked (shocked) at the revelations in the Mitchell report. I have no idea why I’m shocked (I don’t even know why I’m supposed to actually give a shit, to be honest), but I know I’m supposed to be shocked, so therefore I’m shocked.
Oh, wait, that’s right. When in doubt, say it’s about the children.
What will we tell the children?
Actually, steroid use might help the children, since they’re likely to grow up in a world of perpetual war where the only jobs will be serving in the military, constantly battling killer hurricanes and clinging to the high ground as sea levels rise.
I had the day off work, so I watched the debate this afternoon. For what it’s worth, everyone (minus Kucinich and Gravel) was on his or her best behavior, with no rude remarks or withering putdowns. It was obvious that they were not Republicans.
Hillary seems to be attempting to reposition herself as an agent of change, rather than touting her “experience.” Personally I’m not buying it, but then no one invited me to Iowa to join in the caucus.
It becomes more clear after each “debate” (which, technically, these soundbite fests are not) that any Dem would be miles better than any Repig. Even, dare I say it, Hillary.
No more debates on either side until after the caucus. Too bad, so sad.
:yippee:
And surprise, surprise, no
DevilRays made the steroid list, other than Jose Canseco, who we already knew about. Many of the Rays probably should be taking steroids.BTW the snow flakes are cute but it makes Firefox use 50 something percent of the CPU time.. 😮 😮
edit (fred killed the flakes)
Yeah, fred, that’s true but they
aresuch good:tommygun:

Taking it back
PJ said infarction 🙂
Ol’ Blue Eyes :santacool: (I have to clean Rat Cages) … didn’t one version of “…sumthin stupid” was with Nancy?
“…Taking it back ” :smack: ouch :doh: … A!I!V! :dancers: :fist:
BTW My Computer (or wires or ghost :rofl2: 🙄 ) says No more than Yes….
Three network news programs. All led with baseball. I didn’t see one mention that Busch vetoed another child healthcare bill today. That is child abuse at a monumental level and no one even sighed.
Everything is leading with baseball. Must be important. :jerk:
WTF is going on with the world????? :smack: First they shitcan Lawton…er, I mean Kent Jones…and then the ABA honors Gonzo?
AAR has lost its sense of humor and the ABA has lost their sense of … okay, decency doesn’t apply so I’ll go with common sense.
And one of my co-workers is all pissed off at me because I didn’t want to have to look at blinking Christmas lights and asked her to keep them on steady. She says I’m anti-Christmas and being anti-Christmas is being anti-American.
I blame Bill O’Reilly. :tommygun:
And now Faraday and I are going to get under the blankets (can’t afford heating oil this year so I’m using a space heater that moves from room to room with me) and read some fantasy novels. (And, for the record, Faraday doesn’t get under the blankets because, as a dog, he has the right to wear a genuine fur coat and thus he doesn’t get as cold as many do. :pup: )
An “aura” of ex-strays on and around me helps keeps me warm :billcat: :yippee: .. A!I!V!
First??
Hey Gypsy! Good to see you back! :banana: :pup:
Hey Gypsy be caceful that you kind of more or less heat the places in your house where there are water pipes.. .. I tried the space heater thing last winter and the pipes in the downstairs bathroom froze up :tap: :yuck: :crap: :paranoid:
