I thought the idea of giving Bob a revolver that was almost as big as he is (very big gun, very small man) lent an even more humorous bent to this little video skit than it might have been without it...

But the private sector only works because of a very (and I do mean VERY) robust public option which forces Blackwater to step up to the plate. Because if they won't or can't do the job, the USMC will fill the void for them in a most emphatic manner... True enough.

Can you imagine if the Insurance Industry provided coverage for this area as well as health care? WMO (War Maintenance Organization anyone?). US of A: "Hello, is this Blue Shield War?" "We have an emergency situation in Somalia with American hostages being held by Al-Qaeda." BS: "I'm sorry sir, but our records indicate that this situation is a pre-existing condition and can't be covered under our War policy exemptions. Thank you for thinking of Blue Shield when you think of War. Good-bye!" Thank goodness we have a “public option” when it comes to the military.

In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I believe that's the same adage those who crow loudest about "family values" (just before they get caught flying down to Argentina to see their mistress or are found having sex with someone of their same gender) use on us poor, plain folk just trying to make it through the day, unscathed.

I was having some fun with the idea (and an amusing one) of Mr. G as attorney and mother (or motherfather - or mother'fer more accurately perhaps) of Mr. Brown (who seems sadly in need of a strong mother figure to assist in his moral development). As the erstwhile Papa Pundit of this blog, "Mr. Big" (as I like to think of him - Carrie Bradshaw should be so lucky!) was once again squarely on the mark about my love of punnishment...

It is known that comments made on posts are generally not proofed and edited, and that a bit of leeway must be given to those who respond extemporaneously to the posts and comments of others. When I write an article for work, I usually have the time and leisure to reread, proof, edit, and proof my words again. After that I will turn my comment over to our proofreader, who generally rectifies even more errors of composition. When writing comments and responding to posts, I assume that those who read my thoughts (usually written in haste and from emotion) will generally be gracious, understanding, and accommodating.

I have heard Mr. Geragos referred to as a "mother" (and usually with some other word attached to the back side of "mother"), but this news was both highly shocking, and revealing. No wonder Mr. Geragos went to the lengths he did in defending Mr. Brown. ;-D> Until Vic mentioned it in the post above I was completely unaware that Mark Geragos was both Mr. Brown’s attorney AND mother.
