Anniversary Gift FTW!
My lovely bride of 18 years was trying to guess what I'd gotten her while we were talking with some friends, and somehow the topic of diamond ads came up.
She said "you didn't get me diamonds, did you?"
I could only respond, "Well, it is kind of sparkly..."
I got an 18-year old single-malt Scotch, that I'm sipping as I compose this...
All in all, a good anniversary so far.

And now a word from our sponsor...
And despite that, I love them anyway. It isn't a fatal flaw for some people.
In fact, there are many otherwise wonderful people who are liberals. Individually, they're capable of being fairly normal and having otherwise normal lives as long as they aren't discussing politics or voting. Unfortuantely, when you get liberals in a group, this groupthink thing happens that creates a special kind of evil insanity. Of course, that insane groupthink happens with conservatives, too, it just manifests itself in ways that aren't quite so evil, and are sometimes accidentally beneficial.
There's just this lobotomy thing that happens when someone becomes an organizational liberal. You know, joins the club and drinks the Kool-Aid. Too much of that and you get itty-bitty Pelosis and Reids and Kennedys running around, peeing on the sidewalk and wiping their bottoms with the Constitution.
Maybe it is one of those things where there are exceptions that end up reinforcing the stereotype. Well, of course, this person isn't evil and insane, but...him and her and him and him and him...
Sort of like that saying that 98% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
So if you read my blog, and you think you know me. Yes, I still love you. Anyway.
