Judy Garland was deemed an accidental overdose as well.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

I'm also a big fan of the chicken thigh and used to make them quite a lot until I married JZ.
My favorite way was just to smother them in fresh salsa and broil them, turning them once. (They cooked quickly so you could broil instead of just bake.) I served them over Spanish rice with slices of avocado.
Who do you think Hillary would run with? Edwards? Or somebody else?

I was just watching an American Experience about Aimee Semple McPherson, and she died of an accidental overdose of barbituates.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I also assume that under circumstances where it's not 100% clear, tie goes to the accidental, so to speak. An official ruling of suicide would be a big huge deal among practitioners of several religions, and might affect life insurance, etc. etc. Better for everyone if ambiguity is officially ruled an accident.

Not that she would, or should, but is there any constitutional reason Bill couldn't be her running mate?

Clearly I need to add tahini and cannellini beans to my grocery list.
I can send you the recipe for the chicken chili if you like.

I don't think so.

Ann, that's a ferret.
There's accidental and "accidental" that's kind of suicide-by-riding-the-line-once-too-often. Which isn't to guess which category Ledger fit into.
There are also people who think they know what dosages they need better than the doctor does. (Which is how my maternal grandmother messed herself up.) As well as some who think that a larger dose just means more of the good effects without any bad effects.

oooooh Miracleman?
.... any chance there are some phone conference sound effects available??
Hm. Phone conference.
I think you need to use the phone as a weapon, bludgeon people with it before you impale their heads on a memo spike. So, the stabbity is kinda out...

I've had Vicodin prescriptions called in for me, for instance.
K's knee has been bothering her. She went to my doctor and he presribed 90 (90!!) vicodin. BUH? WHA?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My book ranking on Amazon exploded over the last couple of days, which is both lovely and curious. I've no idea why, the last coupel of blog reviews say I'm pretty boring and that I have a terrible intellectual crush on Tim.
But you know I love him because he's SO HAWT.
