I’ve told my girls that a good test of a guy’s character is how they treat the waitstaff on a date…

That’s very true. I’m also teaching my nephew to watch how his date treats the waitstaff. If she acts like a princess and treats them like servants, run, don’t walk to the nearest exit (after leaving a big tip!).

Hahahahaha…an exam on the first day of skewl.

With any luck he will soon be really, really sorry he took the job.

here’s to the hope that
mukasey will be as good as
his word, and renounce these
positions — in the memos — as
he said on day one of his
hearings — october 17, 2007:

“worse than a sin — a mistake“

renounce them expressly, judge mukasey!

My gut gets this really nasty churning feeling when I have occasion to read about or see a picture Diane Feinstein. It is a feeling of having been taken advantage of, a feeling of pure disgust. I feel worse about her than Lieberman.

Not for long…

Those Lieberman statements put me in a good mood. It’s nice to know he’s flustered.
