My paralegal was just in my ofc telling me she had a voicemail, ostensibly from the IRS, saying that there were allegations against her and that she should retain an atty etc. She called the # they left and it was the # for the Magic Jack, phone gizmo thing. She said several months ago, a guy she carpools with had had a voicemail scam saying it was the IRS, where they were asking for money orders to be sent to such and such an address etc. he called and got the police involved etc. The IRS said they will never call you. I said yeah, i know, they will send a certified letter that you have to go to the PO and sign for, bc that’s what we had to do. The acct is supposedly taking care of whatever it was, but it is a sickening feeling getting a letter with IRS postmark. Though now, honest to God i would LOOOOOVE for someone from the IRS to call me and say ANYTHING, bc i would unload on them about the Lois Lerner BS in a nanosecond!
then you are in a better position than i was, bc i def had narcotics for the first 24 hours. and i am not a wimp, it was standard procedure, you would press a button to dispense it to yourself.
sounds fun if you can stay dry. heard on the radio today heat index here is 105 today.
Benders and binders are coming, eh?
Good luck today.
Hey T! I’ll bet you are glad to have the surgery over with - I hope the PT is smooth!

Loved the cartoon!
Spell check changed skulduggery to neurosurgery?
Too bad it can’t change “Obama” to “Cruz.”
A+++
I do love a good limerick! Excellent!
did anyone see the Hillary interview on Brett/Greta last night? she said absolutely NOTHING. she blathered without saying a word, in the style of Obama. GayPatriot had tweeted how she was more likeable than Obama and i agree. not that i LIKE her, but Obama is SMARM on stilts, the hubris oozes from every pore. She doesn’t have that, but is equally loathsome in every other way. obvious EYE work and face tightening, you can’t have that chicken neck with a smooth face. and the WIDE eye look was just stupid.
I just saw that on Twitter. Obama’s ratings are lower than Bush after Katrina.
There are still 40% who approve. The normal 30% leftist morons boosted by racist blacks.
nightmarish. and the one on the right is pretty bad too...
Brett was hearing it on Twitter from people thinking he was too easy on her.
I can’t listen to Hillary for more than a few seconds. When she started defending her lies on Benghazi, I put it on mute. “That the attack was in response to the video was the best information we had at the time. “ (Complete lie.) “The video did cause some of the rioting.” (Yeah, one millionth of one percent, but that counts as “some.”)
Wife ran in when she heard me screaming at the tv.
“Where’s the baseball game?”
“Why do you think I’m watching a baseball game?”
“Because you keep screaming, ‘bunt, bunt!’”
“Uhh, I think you misheard me, dear.”
LOL!!
I’ve long said that if her hair is washed and styled, she is running for something. Before the senate race: styled, after: looked dirty. Even at times in the White House, her hair looked bad
A+++
Even Hillary is throwing them under the bus.
