Look at those clowns in Congress. What a bunch of clowns.

Let's see....the economy is in the shitter, pResident Bush is about to commit crimes against humanity (waging a war of aggression), and health insurance is costing people and businesses an arm and a leg, and Congress is doing this.

And conservatives whine about liberals being politically correct?

Just for that, not only won't I call them "freedom fries," I'll call them "pommes frites".

I WANNA ECONOMY!

ONE THAT WORKS!

God, that's stupid. I would be ranting about the stupidity (also about what seems to be an attempt to push French business *out* of the US -- yeah, that's a brilliant idea) but sadly they did this on the day of the trade deadline and I am too distracted.

I've known you for years, I've always thought the world of you, and I still think the world of you.

But, that being said, get a frickin' grip, will ya? It's a statement.

People marching in protest in cities around the world against the prospect of an unpopular war make a statement. But what we have here are a couple of Republicans who have chosen to make a statement, and it happens to be a statement that is contrary to one you might make. So that means they really must be a "bunch of clowns," eh?

I guess it's not enough in these days to say that one disagrees with another. Instead, one has to make ad hominem attacks.

Please tell me you don't represent your clients in this manner.

He's, um, just making a statement of his own, I figure.

Oh, and the "bunch of clowns" comment is a Simpsons reference. There's this scene with these two radio DJs in trouble for something, and their boss reminds them they can be replaced by a machine, pointing at a large computer programmed to say extremely generic all-purpose DJ banter like "Look at those clowns in Congress. What a bunch of clowns" and "How about that local sports team?"

KT is right about the subject line. It is a Simpsons reference, and the relevance is that Congress can always be counted on to do something ill-advised.

And rest assured, I don't represent my clients by attacking the other side or their lawyers. I do not like difficult opposing counsel; they just make me dig in harder. Most cases should, and do, settle well before trial. (And in bankruptcy, doing a good job means making your petition airtight, so creditors or their lawyers can't object to the filing.)

Ooo when I lived in Switzerland, I ordered "Pommes Frites" all the time! I was in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, but they call them "Pommes Frites" there too (only capitalized, in keeping with the German Rule about capitalizing all Nouns in a Sentence).

You're making me think I want some. The curly kind. Soaked in chili and cheese. :D

I like the thick steak fries, not too crispy. Reminds me of when my dad brought home ribs and steak fries, and we dipped the fries in BBQ sauce. Mmmm.....
