Head 'em up nd move 'em out

Westward, ho. This  weekend's entertainment occurs in the prairie oasis of Sioux Falls. It a biggie, several hundred tables of delectable old stuff. Shake out your loopholes, buckaroos.

It will be interesting to see how new dog Libby gets along with the house sitter .

As in "Libbytarian." Get it? Huh? Huh? Get it?

:)

Lawyer stuff.



Some things make a guy question his assumptions.


1. The state of Iowa took away a woman's kids.

2. She hired a Waterloo lawyer to get them back.

3.  Attorney and client spent some of their office conference time making two-backed beasts. (It is unclear who, if anyone,  billed whom for those hours.)

4.  Ms. Client had second thoughts and filed an ethics complaint.

5. About a month later, Ms. Client had third thoughts and married the guy.

6. Ms. Client or the esquire then  had fourth thoughts and, in about six weeks, became divorced..

7. This week, the Iowa Supreme Court lifted his law license for 18 months.

There's no word in the news report about who gets the kids. 
My anti-statist  principles are shaken to their roots with the notion  that, in this case, maybe the politicians and bureaucrats could serve the tykes better than mother,  lawyer, or any friends the two are likely to have.

This will not end well

The Headline is: 


"Pepsi Honors Women by Launching Skinny Cans."


The company marketing expert fleshes it out:


"Diet Pepsi has a long history of celebrating women through iconic fashion imagery seen in our infamous and historical campaigns, and we're proud to continue that tradition as an official sponsor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Our slim, attractive new can is the perfect complement to today's most stylish looks... ." 


Infamous? (giggle)


If I owned  stock in Pepsico, I would sell it.

So that's what I should call it

Police in Raleigh, N, Calinky, just hate whores. (If you don't believe me, Google.)

So word that some of the cops are renting horizontal girl time embarrassed the chief until he found just exactly the right words to characterize Officer Friendly's little lapses. He explained  that

"...administrative violations may have occurred and that they stemmed from voluntary interactions between a small number of officers and non-departmental individuals," 

Reminds  me I need to take New Dog to the vet to confirm that she's been immunized against voluntary interactions.
