Also, he had two lawyers, one being the guy who actually got R. Kelly off
Wow. Did said lawyer pass the bar at, what, 12?
It is like those Popes in the middle ages!
Blagojevich is going to be so pissed he didn't think of that one first.
Xin Nian Kuai Le!
Aww. That's very sweet. We visited Chinese friends yesterday (Monday was Australia Day, so, long weekend!). They gave us red bean congee the moment we walked in, moved on to carrot cake from the Cheesecake Shop before we'd even finished the congee, and gave us an ice cream tub full of smoked salmon (sans ice cream) when we were leaving.
So Wallybee and I bought bagels and cream cheese on the way home and celebrated Chinese New Year in the old-fashioned way.
Celebrities born in the Year of the Ox - like our President.
And Wallybee! Now I think of it, our spawn will be too. (And due date would make him a Taurus, so he's, like doubly encowed.)
Re: the Leslie Stahl interview of Rachel Maddow:
LESLEY: .... Why do you think there are still so few women in Congress? I just read a statistic – only 75 of the 435 people in Congress are women; only 16 in the Senate, out of the 50.
Last I checked, there were 100 Senators, not 50. Two for each of the 50 states.

Hah. I can't believe all day long nobody caught that. Myself included - it wasn't a set-up. [That's what
she
said. Oh lord, now I can't stop.]

That's the "damn lie" part of statistics. And the damn fool part of Stahl.
She used to be my hero(KO voice)when I was a kid(/KO voice)
I'm really embarrassed for both of us at the moment.

Sounds fun! The kids and I just ate noodles and oranges for lunch and watched Ni Hao, Kai-lan for our celebration.
I'm tired tonight. Considering an early bedtime. Hahahahahaha.
JenP, thanks for enjoying my catty gum remark. The posters on a board I used to hang out in did not so much. They took my irreverence for disrespect.
Their loss, sister, because nobody does irreverent better than you. Hell, I'm still laughing about the Apostles on Showtime.
Happy Birthday, Frisco!
Happy Birthday, Frisco!
My oldest Buffista Baby (Ben) turned 13 today. THIRTEEN. I'm the mother of a teenager, y'all. How did that happen?
Wow! Happy Birthday to Frisco AND Ben!
whoa -- happy birthday Ben
