I tell every one that will listen you should read her column everyday.

I refer to her as ‘The Perpetually Pissed off’ Emily Miller, because instead of the ‘cool detachment’ most DC journos mistake for professionalism, she’s usually irritated, and not afraid to let it out.

Just like us.

By 6pm last night I had 2 emails from stockbrokers blaming the market crash on Europe. Never mind that our own piss-poor economic policies contributed for the most part.

And XS, why are lawyers so frigging pedantic? I’ve been waiting on mine to write a “bite me” letter to a doc for 3 weeks and it’s like he’s repainting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

I need to go to the range in the worst way to practice head and neck shots with my .45.
