I call my giveadamner "Lucille." In the dark of night she left me, heedless of the demands of this "Momentous Day."
Will the Supreme Court maim Obamacare and guffaw as the bodies pile up outside emergency rooms across this great nation?
The prevailing AmSoc notion is that my health is your responsibility. It is bipartisan. We're quibbling only about whose turn it is to buy this round of lime-flavored hemlock.
Libertarian thinking about everything. --Ere he shall lose an eye for such a trifle... For doing deeds of nature! I'm ashamed. The law is such an ass. -- G. Chapman, 1654.

Cultural Literacy
The 10 a.m. temperature at Camp J is 80 degrees. We'll hit the predicted 99 in a walk. It is as though all the politically ambitious, seeking all the offices in this great land, had turned to face me, as Muslims to Mecca, and begun delivering their stump speeches.
I am doing the kind of work which should be done in less heated circumstances, so I welcomed a chuckle from my pal John in the GMA, even though it mentions heat, even though he doesn't know where it came from. We salute the author, where ever he or she may be.

“Several commenters mistook my use of the microwave as the way all Americans heat water and clucked their tongues in disapproval. I’m happy to report to any of those who’ve returned to the site that I’m quite atypical in this regard.
The standard American way to heat water is to take a pot of water out to our pickup truck, open the hood (what the Brits call a “bonnet”), and lock the pot onto the engine block using a set of latches readily available at any Wal-Mart.
Then we drive around at high speed, reciting the Gospels and firing our shotguns out the window. After reading the Gospel of John for three minutes and sixteen seconds, the water is ready. I hope this puts to rest any confusion.”

The SWAT raid as circus
I try to keep up. Honest. But the idea of duelling SWAT teams as a 21st Century version of Lions vs. Christians caught me flat-footed. Anyway, St. Cloud beat the Canadians.
I scoured the program for the event called "Raiding the Right Address." No luck

New mess mate
I don't think he liked his English teacher too much, but, then, who among us did? He likes guns and boats and can fix things. If that isn't enough rate a spot on the blog roll, I don't know what is.
