The annual selection of the top 500 lawyers in America has begun at LawDragon. You can vote for your favorite colleagues, teachers, or counsel.
While I am happy to be on the ballot, I am more happy to see others not on the ballot. Notably, John Ashcroft is no longer on the list. Nor is John Yoo or most other Bush lawyers. Also missing is Alberto Gonzales this year.
What is interesting is the absence of Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Clarence Thomas and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are also off the list, even though the rest of the Court makes it on the ballot. Judiciary Chairman John Conyers and other members of Congress are also not on the list.

You know, attorneys have been some of my best clients. I usually charge them the most….
I left the computer on, and noticed a Martha Stewart Coffee Klatch! Aaaaah, aren’t you special buddha(pest), sharing cooking secrets with the lads. My wife just read your post and howled, HOWLED with laughter. Why don’t you guys go play darts and watch a ball game, the NCAA football season starts tonight. Buddha(pest)you are the gift that keeps on giving…….
In reference to the off topic church business: Ever heard of the Magdalene Laundries? Victims’ stories of this cruelty can be found on Youtube, however, I preferred to post this song.

Emmylou does a version, too. Also, incredible.

Buddha,
I’m as involved in as many steps of my food as I can (practicably) be. In a week or so I’ll be acquiring my meat somewhere in Wyoming, we’ve got a small garden. Back when I was in the Pacific North-West, we used to go out every weekend to an overgrown park and spend 30 min. picking blackberries for jelly. We both bake, can, butcher, roast, pickle, smoke, dehydrate, etc.
Now if you don’t mind, I’d like to go for a walk while humming a Shaker Hymn (which isn’t really a hymn).
Pickling is an almost lost cooking art in this country, gyges. Between that and the brewing I’m starting to think you’re a “slow food” foodie. Being Southern by birth I naturally prefer my green tomatoes fried but like them I do. If you are interested in seeing how far you can go with pickling, might I suggest looking to the Japanese. They do some very interesting pickling.
Speaking of pick-ling, now would be a good time to go vote for our host at LawDragon via the link conveniently included in the article above.
Say, isn’t that a big ape climbing that building over there?
(AY, seriously, you’re dealing with a well known troll here. And he can go on in his Papist induced madness, hm, what’s the word I’m looking for . . . endlessly. Draw your tactics and diagnosis with that info in mind and recall the words of Barney Frank so recently at a heath care town hall. I usually opt for the W.C. Fields with a fade.)
Why yes it is a big ape! It’s wearing a sign. It says, “Vote Turley, Vote Often” Remember folks, if a giant ape can climb a building to advertise his voting preference, by Jebus, you can use your free speech too and vote today!
Follow the link.
It’s easier than scaling the Chrysler Building or any other NYC high rise of that era.
Any similarity between this wildlife endorsement of Prof. Turley and a well known film is unavoidable.
Offer valid in all fifty states.
Void where prohibited.
I know you are lonely, and I would love to indulge you in your codependency, but I have to step out. My wife is pulling up in the garage. Maybe you can ring Mespo, and you two can compare notes……
I personally like Texas. I went camping in the Davis Mountains some years ago. I like California much more….

I would love to do a case study on you AY. Your posts are most revealing……

Please do, don’t forget the Viagra though. ROFLMAO

I am married AY, and I don’t date schizophrenics, who are non compliant with there meds….

So is Judge Hetchfrom Tacoma Washington. He is Catholic too with a family and esposed family values. He is currently under investigation for solicitation for male prostitutes oops under aged boy for Oral Sex.
You should not date, you are married. As Jimmie said, I have committed Lust in my mind. Are you dating outside the vows of Marriage. Remember Bill said a BJ is not Sex. So I guess you can give one and not be breaking your vows of marriage. See the laws of your state for adultery. A BJ between two men is not Adultery. Now a male and boy that is pedophilia, which if you are studying the RCC is not a crime. But in the real world it is. So plain the difference Ricky.

The Portugese have for years claimed Columbus as there own, I have been to Italy and Genoa, go tell the Italians he is Portugese! If you want to split hairs you may call him a Genoese, but never a Portugese.
********************
Did anyone say that he was Portuguese by birth> Can we learn a new word for the day? Nee. He was born in Genoa which was once an independent country, kinda like Monaco. He was living and married to a daughter whose father was a Governor. Can we say this out loud. Repeat after me. Yeah I knew you could do it, now what do you want to know about Texas?
AY, you need to post on Craig’s List. Find a man to share your disordered and lonely life with. Go dancing, see a movie, curl up with a good book on Catholic apologetics….
Wayne 1, September 3, 2009 at 6:16 pm
You should submit a post on ‘Craigs List’, you are deperately in need of the company of a man……

Oh and I was going to save me only for you.

I guess if Columbus had been born in Rome he would still be Portugese or maybe a Spaniard or a Visigoth…..
You are an idiot. You cannot even read what is put out before you. Can we say he was born in Genoa, he married a daughter of a Portuguese Governor and sailed for Isabella Queen of Spain. Hence he sailed under the Spanish Flag. Geeze.
Open wide here comes that airplane spoon.
I guess if Columbus had been born in Rome he would still be Portugese or maybe a Spaniard or a Visigoth…..
Byron, I am not mad, you claimed you were interested in the Church, I don’t believe you. I think you are only interested in arguing and trying to impress the vampires that parasitize this blog on a daily basis. If you are genuinely interested, go buy the book I told you about. You will never buy it because you are not even interested! Go read some Locke, that should calm you….
