    I’d love to rewrite that one but I dare not, it is afterall, the lunch hour.

  3. “Cobble, I was offended that when the governor spoke about improving poor schools, the camera immediately panned to the one black young man sitting with a bunch of other school aged kids. That was the tv director’s fault, and pissed me off. What, only black kids attend poor schools? Hello…..not true on several levels, and just wrong.”

    MM, THIS was PRECISELY the moment that BH was noting. I was on my computer and mostly listening, having realized about 30 seconds into it that this was a theatre piece, and not substantial. All of the sudden I hear BH shout at me [from literally 3 feet away] “OMG, [COBBLE], I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY JUST DID THAT!”, and explains it to me. Bigotry and ignorance at it’s finest! Thank you, Virginia [heavy sarcasm].

  4. P.S.

    …I heard that Scalia and Thomas were playing hookey having a few beers at a local strip club.
    They were overheard saying;

  5. Small observation: last night I had the news on and they were recapping the Apple tablet announcement. I thought, why does Steve Jobs still wear that ridiculous “uniform” of black turtleneck, cruddy jeans, and beat up sneakers? “Hey, I’m a nonconformist, freethinker here, I’m the CEO and I wear the clothes of a 10-year-old to important meetings.” Maybe back in the day it was just how he liked to dress, now it’s as though he primps to look casual – totally affected.
