Please Let This Happen

From Politico "Pennsylvania, on April 22, is the last big state to vote, with 158 pledged delegates. It also comes more than a month after the previous primary, in Mississippi, on March 11.And so, if the two Democrats are still alive then, Pennsylvania becomes Iowa, on steroids. The campaigns and the media all decamp to Harrisburg. Clinton and Obama develop a keen interest in the concerns of the Amish. Michael Nutter becomes a major national figure"
Granted, I am not that advanced in years, but I have followed politics since I was a kid (1988) and I can't remember Pennsylvania's primary ever having any significance to the nominating process, so, needless to say as a Pennsylvanian and a political junkie, I would be enormously pleased to see PA become "Iowa on steroids", or at a minimum, "South Carolina on the 'Clear and the Cream.'"

Haven't posted in a while. So this is what is going on at my law school..

"Bayside High had Jessie and Slater.  West Beverly High School had
Donna and David.  Which couple defines Barco High?

DTP is proud to present the inaugural “Sweethearts of Pitt Law.”
We need your help!  Want to help send your favorite couple on
date courtesy of DTP, then send your nominations for favorite law
school couple to:  SweetheartsOfPittLaw@gmail.com.  Make sure to
have those e-mails in by Wednesday, February 6th.



Once all the nominations are in, we will contact the couples for
their approval (although we appreciate a laugh, nothing
inappropriate OR inaccurate!).

Then starting Monday, February 11 the law school will begin the
quest for the "Sweethearts of Pitt Law."  Let’s just say, start
collecting those pennies.  You’ll need ‘em.

All the overhead costs for this event have been donated, and
every penny we earn will be donated to a very special fund.  More
details to follow.  Until then, start nominating those couples!

Thanks,
Delta Theta Phi"


Really.

It's a Wonderful Life?

In that Christmas classic, which I have never seen, somebody says to George Bailey-"Nobody is a failure who has friends", which is why finally, after years of denial, I must admit I am a failure. Not that I don't have any friends, but look, I am a human being, a decently smart one, funny in a way, occasionally pay for my drinks, and listen to the comment section * chirp* *chirp*
And what is this, you ask? It's a f---ing horse. And it has thousands of comments, wishing it well. Now, I'll admit, Barbaro had quite a fall, and it's pretty amazing that he's back on his feet. Good for him. But you know why it bothers me that people are writing all these messages? HORSES CANT USE THE F___ING INTERNET!!!! It's about as useful as sending Mike Tyson a book.

Text of Statement Made by Former SpyNov 24 10:18 AM US/Eastern


Litvinenko before he died and released by his friends on Friday:
I would like to thank many people. My doctors, nurses and hospital staff who are doing all they can for me; the British police who are pursuing my case with vigor and professionalism and are watching over me and my family. I would like to thank the British government for taking me under their care. I am honored to be a British citizen.
I would like to thank the British public for their messages of support and for the interest they have shown in my plight.
I thank my wife, Marina, who has stood by me. My love for her and our son knows no bounds.
But as I lie here, I can distinctly hear the beating of wings of the angel of death. I may be able to give him the slip but I have to say my legs do not run as fast as I would like. I think, therefore, that this may be the time to say one or two things to the person responsible for my present condition.
You may succeed in silencing me but that silence comes at a price. You have shown yourself to be as barbaric and ruthless as your most hostile critics have claimed.
You have shown yourself to have no respect for life, liberty or any civilized value.
You have shown yourself to be unworthy of your office, to be unworthy of the trust of civilized men and women.
You may succeed in silencing one man but the howl of protest from around the world will reverberate, Mr. Putin, in your ears for the rest of your life. May God forgive you for what you have done, not only to me but to beloved Russia and its people

Happy Thanksgiving!

A wise man on the train here said "The difference between outlaws and inlaws? Outlaws are wanted." True enough. Similar to my saying, "You can pick your nose, but you can't pick #@@%# Kwame Brown with the number one pick in the draft." Certain in-laws of mine and my family can find any pretext for bringing their anti-gay and anti-black opinions into a conversations. EG
Me: Tony Romo threw for 5 tds! Amazing!
Them- Romo? Sounds like homo! They should be exterminated.
