the point is you have lied, and everyone knows it, so they get suspicious, and go far as to challenge the veracity of a simple honest sock like me.

*Note: I almost didn't post this, because I thought about how someone would respond to it..... saying that I was using "lacking a dick" to mean "bad," which is true, but implying that I meant being female is bad, which is not true.

And that made me sad. Because y'all know who that someone is. Godspeed, Fringey. You are in our hopes, thoughts, prayers, and so forth.

FWIW, just because I cribbed tasted notes about ice wine off of google did not mean i had never had any. In fact, in an off-line position, I was chatting up a comely young sommelier in Canada last weekend on the subject and ended up with her phone number, in no small part due to my perceived expertise in the ways of oenophilia. Platonically. nttawwt.

I was disclaiming the contest because, by comparison, my tax policy analyses, with which the much-missed and deeply cared-for Fringey often was in agreement, are the stuff of Frank Miller graphic novels.

That makes your avatar even more amusing.

CDF (good to see you)

The Law Blog on Monday caught up with [Justice Sanders]. Sanders didn’t confirm that he was the one who shouted at Mukasey, but didn’t deny it, either. He said he had “no comment except to say that having reviewed the video of the speech” on the Federalist Society’s web site, “it doesn’t appear that whatever was said was heard by [Attorney] General Mukasey. I left the dinner before the General unfortunately collapsed.” He added that “in my mind a heckler is someone who is making repeated comments audible to the speaker [and] you’ll see that that just didn’t happen.” . . . . When asked why he left the room in the middle of Mukasey’s speech, Sanders told us he simply “wanted to go to my [hotel] room.” Sanders, a Federalist Society member for several years, told the Law Blog: “Their war on terrorism is out of my professional department. We don’t hear cases on that. In that respect, I’m a private citizen and I have my views."

Yesterday, I thought I'd catch up, but was so grossed out by the talk of rotting human flesh (which will never be admitted into a courtroom, sorry) that I had to stop.

Came back today, only to see this post, which gives me the indelible image of Penske (who I had the pleasure of meeting recently) sniffing his wife in order to see if she smelled different when pregnant.

Blech.

Carry on.
