He’s a Bush Appointee, Doncha Know

Judge Robert Somma, a Federal Bankruptcy Judge, was pulled over for DUI, while reportedly wearing a woman’s dress, heels and stockings, and carrying a purse.

And not just any dress, but a, “Somma was wearing a cocktail dress, fishnet stockings, women’s heels and fumbled through a purse for his driver’s license.”

FWIW, he blew a BAC of 0.12%.

Yes, George W. Bush appointed him. Quel surprise.

Overheard in the Office — Political Funny

A not by me, but by my “friend I’ve never met in person”, JR:

‘Um, are you talking about Ron Paul?’

‘Yeah, him.’

‘He’s white and racist.’

‘Then who am I thinking of?’

‘Ru Paul.’

‘I take it they’re both about as qualified?’

I think the GOP leadership would take either one over McCain.’

Emphasis mine, and JR owes me a screen wipe.

Fun Economic Indicators

The Big Picture discusses The Ticker Tape Parade Indicator:

  • The NY Giants won their first Super Bowl in 1987; the Great US Stock Market Crash appeared later.
  • The NY Giants won their second Super Bowl in 1991; the last US full-blown recession appeared; money center banks barely avoided the abyss.
  • Before yesterday, the last NYC ticker-tape parade was 2000 (Yankees); the Great US Stock Bubble burst.
  • The NY Giants won their third Super Bowl in 2008 and received a ticker-tape parade; head to the caves! Take it for what you will.

Me, I’m buying canned goods and bottled water.
