He asked me what I thought about Holy Bull's chances in the KY Derby before dismissing me.
That's a funny story. What did you tell him?

This whack job should spend at least a night in jail, in order to give her the time to reflect quietly upon her moral and legal responsibilities being a juror, and what happens when one lies to a judge.

I stopped worrying when I saw these odds at Bookmaker.com last night:

McCain to win Florida +250

McCain to win Ohio +450

and my favorite:

McCain +144 electoral votes -120
Obama -144 electoral votes -110
