i know you all talk sports here. usually it doesn’t bother me. upthread it did bother me and i reacted to my irritation with a critical comment.

this is perfectly normal human behavior.

i did not feel so strongly that i pursued the matter, nor do i intend to do so later.

but i made my point, rather reasonably, even cleverly, if i do say so myself (with the analogy to loud cell phone talk).

the fireworks started with a smart alec comment directed at me and my complaint comment.

note also that i let even this drop after two comments.

now, back to play-by-play

A Turtle is A] One of my fav candies and B] Freep’s pet and companion, although he has more than one.

From his site – He is a member of the Special Committee on Aging and the Budget Committee, the Environment and Public Works Committee, the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, the Judiciary Committee, and the Select Committee on Intelligence. He chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts and the EPW Subcommittee on Oversight.

Given his family history and the number of Committees he is involved in, I’d say that Sheldon can choose to stay in the Senate and be another Ted Kennedy or run for POTUS. I hope he chooses the Senate.

First, I seriously doubt that speaking as a Senator in his capacity as a key committee member, that Whitehouse could be held to account for statements borne out of investigative work they’ve done.

Second, any such suit would permit Whitehouse and any other potential defendant wide latitude for discovery.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! to borrow a celebratory phrase; just give us a crack at discovery, I beg.

Wouldn’t trolling for such a suit be an excellent use of op-ed space?

Altogether.
