Tommyrot, that was a HUGE scandal here in DC. After the acting AG refused to sign, Gonzalez and Card went to Ashcroft's hospital room and tried to get him to sign off on it after he'd had surgery. He also refused, and apparently was quite elegant in his refusal. It got so bad that memfault!in the FBI ordered agents to be sent to Ashcroft's room to make sure that he was not coerced into signing something when he was not lucid.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Thanks, Vortex - I was just thinking I'd heard something about that a few months back, but I wasn't sure if it was the same story or not.

oh, yes, it was made of awesome. Despite the fact that Ashcroft ended up looking kind of heroic (and Tommyrot is totally right in saying that if Ashcroft thinks that your shit is shady, it is sha-day.), it really underscored the level of sleaze in the White House.

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

Yeah, I remember that part of the story, but I think the allegation that Ashcroft was ultimately forced out over this issue is new. I think.

Yes, you're right, Tommy. I just wanted to rehash it because I revel in the administration getting busted in such a way that no one could really argue.
Here's a Post article about it: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just wondering if you could have a whale tail and then still exposed coinslot.
But that's a lot of ass.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Guess who gets to go back for more jury stuff tomorrow. One day or one trial is not exactly accurate. Sometimes the one day is a few days. Which is ok. But the description isn't accurate, so it bugs.
Work will have a cow if I get put on a case. ha

I fucking hate ticks.
Poor big blue justice.
In all seriousness though, yeah, given what they can carry these days, having to check the kids (or the pets if you have them) is NO FUN.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Not THAT tick. The Tick, I love. He's much more lovable and less gross.
My head won't stop itching now.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Then I think a whale tail and coinslot would be mutually exclusive.
Depends how low your pants are riding. And how big your ass is.
