Roman Polanski...Be Grateful You Were Not Extradited To Poland!
"Family Law judges...very over inflated views of themselves." Funny, same thing with family med practice. Oh wait, and also specialists. Scrap that. Speaking of 'scraps...' "Grrrwwwwww.....I like to take bites out of the milkbones!" Focus, Puppy! Take big bites out of Sallie Mae, which is nothing more than a giant Milk Bone! :)— September 30, 2009 1:14 a.m.

"Power to the people, ma'am. Rip it right out the the hands of the politicians. It's yours, not theirs." Viva il revolucion refrito! :)— September 30, 2009 1:09 a.m.
Wnen The EKG Goes Flatline...Was It Worth It?
"But what if I have an unconditional love for KFC? By rickeysays" Yeah, well, too bad it isn't JUST your problem. The rest of us have to deal with the environmental fallout from these places, even if we don't eat there.— September 29, 2009 11:13 p.m.
Some Musings On Our Fast-Food Culture...
"pizza is american !" It is now. Italian pizza is really more like flatbread or pita, usually margherita.— September 29, 2009 11:09 p.m.

"IN Your Gut-N-OUT Your Butt" should have been the title of this blog. Or: "Bust a Gut Anew" :) So you are allergic to eggs? Soy?— September 29, 2009 11:08 p.m.

Now, let's hear how useful it is to saddle someone with the term "liberal elitist."— September 29, 2009 10:44 p.m.

“Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” • These are powerful words, and they do specific things. For example, they employ: • A rhythmic repetition, easy to remember; • A chiasmus (fancy term for making a double statement by reversing the words, as in a mirror-image), that works like repetition, to emphasize certain ideas. This creates the mental image of the mirror; it is each of us who must face ourselves, and take personal responsibility to ‘act for the country.’ • A direct address to the listener (you), which works to catch the attention and direct it toward personal responsibility; • A command appears in the form of "ask," which is also a word of action, like "do." This is effective because the listener or reader can easily focus on the command; JFK asks us to do something difficult and act for the good of the country, but makes it sound easy, like a task of one simple step. • Simple verbs: It also sounds easy because the verbs are in the simplest form possible in the present tense, which emphasizes the here and now. • A sentence beginning with a negative ("Ask not") still ends on a positive, uplifting note ("Ask what you can do.") This is effective in rallying a crowd or reader.— September 29, 2009 10:43 p.m.

Can politics ever be discussed without reliance upon the same tired old dichotomy of donkey and elephant? Yes! I think it can!— September 29, 2009 9:46 p.m.
Roman Polanski...Be Grateful You Were Not Extradited To Poland!
Fishikins, you'll find, kidding aside, that SurfP is very good when it comes to the legal perspective. He's going to represent me against Sallie Mae :) (I wish). Fishy, you seem pretty good with this stuff, too: Do you watch Court TV (now, or at least temporarily, since who the hell knows where it's going in November) "In Session?"— September 29, 2009 9:01 p.m.

SurfP got his license out of a box of Milk Bone. He's "bonified!" :)— September 29, 2009 8:59 p.m.
