While you were out...

The following is not legal advice.
For legal advice, you should consult an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction and who has experience dealing with your particular issue.
That being said, if you had been arrested for DUI, and you had been taken to the hospital for a blood test, and you weren't sure what to do, I am confident that no attorney anywhere would list "steal an ambulance and take off" as a viable option.
And if he does, you might want to ask to see his law degree.

Of course he is...
Member of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades upset at his portrayal in the movie "Bruno."
I guess they were never going to like it as much as Sex in the City.

For future reference
I'm going to need the world to slow the heck down during my busier weeks. The whole kid thing has made keeping up harder than usual. So, let's see...what'd I miss?
Sarah Palin's still governor of Alaska, right? She what? OK, didn't see that coming? If she resigned because of the specious attacks on her and her family, then I salute her, but protecting her family from satire and rumors that would violate every known standard of decency if leveled against any other politician's family would require her not to run for President any time in the near future. (Her youngest child is just a year old, after all, unless you think Andrew Sullivan hasn't lost his mind.)
Michael Jackson - While I enjoyed the opportunity to remember the better days, when Jackson put out the best music on the planet, the main thing I took away from his death is this question: Exactly what does a person have to do before Al Sharpton is willing to concede, yeah, he's a little strange?
The whole Honduras thing - It's never a good thing when the military escorts an elected leader out of the country, but when the U.S. weighs in on such matters, they should generally at least make it clear they are aware of the underlying issues. A good way to distinguish yourself from Hugo Chavez is to make the distinctions Chavez is unwilling to acknowledge. A bit of...what's the word...nuance seems to be what is required.
Dear Lord, don't tell me we have a situation that actually calls for John Kerry. On second thought, no, somebody parachute Kerry into Tegucigalpa and tell him not to come back until he's got this whole thing straightened out.
On third thought, Hondurans have enough problems.
The President made his first trip to Africa. Given how much I think he's capable of achieving over there, his speech was, at most a start. But it was a good start, provided he keeps the pressure on. (And starts getting specific and naming names, by which I mean Mugabe.)
Sonia Sotomayor - She's qualified enough, she has no serious ethical issues, and she reflects the President's idea of what a Supreme Court justice would be. The only reason to oppose her would be that I disapprove of the policy views that would likely be advanced by her decisions. If I took this guy seriously, I would feel compelled to oppose her. If that were the bloviating rhetorical flatulence of a self-important windbag unworthy of serious consideration, than she is welcome to her seat on the High Court.
In other news - I believe Dawn Summers is now old enough to run for President.
And, most importantly, Xander is still the cutest baby in the history of the free world.
Seven months old. Who'd a thunk it?
