I could make a nice hobby out of this

Aye, ’tis indeed.
Personally, provincially…I think it came down to Gonzales being Yet Another Texan. The rest of the world gets their fill of us quickly, and I can’t really blame them though they’re wrong. I get sick of 99% of NooYawkers after about 30 seconds…the ones I like are as bad as me about where they’re from, so there’s a level of recognition and respect that leads to detente and friendship.
Anyhoo…I’m basically trying to avoid the unavoidable fact that I’ve got more dental surgery, the final two titanium dealios, going on in 12 hours. I shouldn’t probably be drinking beer, but I detest sliding into that damn vinyl-covered chair tomorrow morning. I’ve even got a top-drawer dentist, and I trust him completely. I just don’t want to be there at all. It’s too late for all of my readers, but tell your kids to brush their teeth three times a day, and to floss everytime no one’s looking.

I’ve kept toothpicks around my desk, my car, etc. for years and it seems to help.
Good luck tomorrow.
Cry me a river….people hate us because we are Texans. Bush isn’t even a Texan and we hate him. He’s a N.E. rich kid who moved to Texas…please. Gonzales is a real Texan but he was the fall guy in the end. Personally, if I were him I would have just admited those people who got whacked from their jobs…well those orders came from Big Brother.
When the Dems have the White House they whack “those people” from the jobs whenever they feel like it. It’s a traditional, change-every-administration kind of thing. Making it out like Gonzales did something unusual is the unusual part here. I agree that being a Texan didn’t help him one bit. It never does for long beyond the state lines. Good luck at the dentist. I hate dentists, top-drawer or lower-berth, they’re all greedy you know whats. Try the Atkins diet, i.e. stop eating sugar, and you can skip flossing.
Hmmm…the LA Times makes note of the ‘last Texan,’ Rooster. I’m not saying people hate us because we’re Texans, but that the Texas connection has been a political nit for people to pick all along. If you didn’t notice it, that’s not my fault. And as a Texan, I could give a shit if the rest of you don’t like us. I don’t cry about it — I laugh about it.
All my dental problems are from a lifetime of generally ignoring them until they got really bad. Idiotic hayseed behaviour. Now I’m paying for it. But it’s all done in about 3 months. I’ll have half a dozen titanium click-n-lock hard-points for mounting some high-tech choppers. Then I’ll get hit by a cattle truck and it’ll all be for naught. As long as I get to eat one big ass tbone before I go, I’ll die happy.
