She had to do it though. I feel bad for her - she was really put through the ringer. More than that though, because Bush wasn't the one to withdraw his choice, he doesn't directly get to eat as much crow as I think he should. Why do people continue to take bullets for this loser? At any rate, at least for now the status quo is maintained. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

"Court" would have been fewer letters and more transparent than SCOTUS. http://www.whitehouse.org/news/2005/100305.asp -------------------- 私のバラドですそしてころしたいいらればころす Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

The abbreviation POTUS makes me think of potatos, but SCOTUS reminds me of "scrotum". :P -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

...but absent context, less specific. EDIT: Furthermore, TM, I would figure you of all people would have appreciated the term for the reason Aran outlined. [ Thursday, October 27, 2005 09:54: Message edited by: Drew ] Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

quote:*snort* Me too. And it reminds me of Scotland. It's really too bad that the initials of the Supreme Court are SC. It makes my US History notes that much longer, because I can't abbreviate it... lest I confuse it with South Carolina. :D -------------------- A C, an E flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

I much prefer the initials POT USA. It is certainly appropriate for recent holders of the office -- even though some of them didn't inhale. ...which leads me to go really off-topic and wonder what ever did happen to the Presidents of the USA.

Brings out various conspiracy theories about how the nomination was a smoke screen for other activities of the administration. Not from me, though--I'm still sitting here, thinking, "Huh." Posts: 437 | Registered: Sunday, July 13 2003 07:00 |
