Tom, the new furniture is super swanky!

We had our grad reception today and all the students were so cute. I got to meet moms and dads and wives and kids. But now I am all schmoozed out.

Art Crawl!!!

We had Sweet Tart Gummy Bugs at our staff meeting.

I bit into a delicious Gummy Moth and one of my crowns came off.

I hate staff meetings.

WHY DO PEOPLE NOT READ!>?!@!

I swear. I send person A an email. A replies and says I should check with person B about some other part. So I fwd that response with a note of my own to person B, just asking about their portion, since clearly, A's made a response to his portion.

And then person B replies to me, A and C that I should check with A about the part that A ALREADY RESPONDED TO.

People are stupid.

Love the furniture and lovely pics, Tom!

Hate sumi's stupid dentist who can't put in a crown that'll stay!

Who knew that there were hobbits playing professional tennis?

Put a beard, a kilt, and a few years on that guy, and match him up against a blancmauge, I say!

Also, I think it is stupid that Couric changing anchor is on the front of the Baltimore Sun's page.

I really like the way Tom breaks in the new furniture -- slounging and jumping on it. Such a good way to actually enjoy it!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Exciting news: Coelacanth caught on video

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - In a debate with powerful echoes of the turbulent civil rights era, four Republicans running for Alabama's Supreme Court are making an argument legal scholars thought was settled in the 1800s: that state courts are not bound by U.S. Supreme Court precedents.

The Constitution says federal law trumps state laws, and legal experts say there is general agreement that state courts must defer to the U.S. Supreme Court on matters of federal law.

Yet Justice Tom Parker, who is running for chief justice, argues that state judges should refuse to follow U.S. Supreme Court precedents they believe to be erroneous. Three other GOP candidates in Tuesday's primary have made nearly identical arguments.

"State supreme court judges should not follow obviously wrong decisions simply because they are `precedents,'" Parker wrote in a newspaper opinion piece in January that was prompted by a murder case that came before the Alabama high court.

Parker is a former aide to Roy Moore, who became a hero to the religious right when he was ousted as Alabama's chief justice in 2003 for refusing to obey a federal judge's order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of the state courthouse.
