In response to this article:
I e-mailed Senator Specter via his website yesterday.
Today, I noticed this article, in which he backs off of his threat:
Little old me, influencing the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sweet! I’ll be expecting the paving trucks by the weekend.
Hey, Casey! Funny running into you, here. Just wanted to say that the Fighting Sporks are going to put you away easily and stretch their lead over you in the AFC West to two games. My proof? I point at our week 6 matchup in which I notched a perfect 14-for-14 picking week.
So, uh, I’ll just tell Hal Briston that you’re conceding this week, ok? 
…and now I see I confused your record with that of the Yellow Jackets. I’ll go back to sniffing glue now.
(I’ll still take that free win, though.)
Holy hijack, Batman. 
If you look above your posts, you’ll see I had a whole OP crafted, coded perfectly, on a different topic. I’m willing to read e-mails or even a different thread, either here or on the pool’s message board, about your delusion that any win over me is easy, but that’s another story for another day. 
And now, back to our thread. When we last left our hero, he was waiting for paving trucks…
Yeah Specter is an asshat. As they say on Fark, he should STFU and GBTW.
That was my exact first thought. I said to my wife as we watched the item on TV, “We’ve got to get that boy a job. He’s got too much idle time on his hands.” (Or something close to that.)
Aren’t you mixing your metaphors here?
He lives a couple of blocks from me.
In the winter, they plow his street, but not mine, which is a much steeper hill.
Just sayin’.
Arlen and Ted Kennedy along with many more are poster children for term limits. Lawmakers, like diapers need to be changed on a regular basis for the same reason.
