The tectonics involved in fabricating a letter to the Fifth Circuit Court to cover Obama's constitutional ramblings was completed by Eric Holder. One wonders if this helps or hurts the current case the judges are hearing. In an apparent attempt to thwart the judges on some level, the letter was only 2 1/2 pages long. Is that like giving them a raspberry?

Awright! We know this one! After a long day of doing tec stuff (mixing white electricity and red electricity, stuff like that) what tonic does a man need?
Could be hair tonic if they got a good crop on the sod.
Or a good muscle tonic that you don't have to share with the horse, something IQ&S, which is...Iron, Quinine, and Strychnine (in right small amounts).
But best bet is Gin and Tonics got up by someone who knows they ain't paying for the gin.

On Wall Street, moods shift like tectonics
One day they love gold, next bionics
But the faithful bull mobs’
High regard for Steve Jobs
Has made Apple the best of tech tonics

But in a massive tectonic shift, Macs are now vulnerable to Malware through JAVA? And I cannot find anyone to tell me how to find out if my machines have been infected. I have already disabled the java plugins from all of my browsers.

It is a beautiful day here. Bright and sunny, but cool. I have to bake for Sunday. Sugar cookies shaped like Easter eggs with a lemony yellow glaze frosting and decorations.
