Interrogatories
In the good old days, we used to theorize that people like Bill Gates or Martha Stewart were the Antichrist. Who would be your candidate for that position today? Do you recall mimeograph/ditto machines, and if so, did you not inhale deeply of every test paper the teacher passed out? What is your favorite kitchen appliance/electric? What’s on your bucket list? How many juries have you served on? Did you enjoy the experience? What sports (if any ) are you good at?

John McCain is going to be on Meet The Press Sunday, I think to talk about invading that asteroid before it comes back.

We could have saved a lot of time this week if the Russian meteorite had hit the poop ship and killed Chris Dorner.
