    No day off! Considering how Congress and the statehouses have demonstrated an amazing ability to pull off all manner of shenanigans “in a manner to be prescribed by law,” I think this one might need at least a tiny tweak 😉 *ducks*

        Windmills can be treacherously clever. Frank is on his own.

        But, but…FEMA camps! DHS’s billion bullets! Um, non sequitur! Post hoc ergo propter hoc! Ad nauseam! *ahem* [ / levity]. Thanks for providing continuity and a much needed respite before sinking your teeth into the remaining meat on those bones.
