Richard Jewell would approve of your comment if he'd lived long enough to read it.

I've noticed that sometimes one must wait a rather long time for others to say nice things about one.

So it just makes sense to cut out the middle man and just get hir done. Also.

First, I'd like to thank the one person who made this all possible.

Me.

No, seriously. I did it.

It was me.

Used to do work at Fort Detrick. Very strange place, and right now the subject of a building boom from non-DoD federal agencies looking for cheap real estate and (that holiest of grails) free employee parking.

OT, FBI has released <a href="http:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/news\/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston\/photos" target="_blank">pix</a> of Mararthon bombing suspects and, as might have been foreseen, at least one of them is wearing his baseball cap backwards.

from the resolution honoring his daughter's high school graduation (it's like <i>20 fucking pages</i> of this shit):

"WHEREAS, Sam once made a late-night call to her principal to get her government teacher’s telephone number, so she could call the teacher about an impending visit to the TriCities area by GOP Presidential nominee, Senator John McCain; Sam invited her teacher to skip class and go with her to see Senator McCain, and even asked her teacher to give her extra credit for attending the event; and WHEREAS, Samantha Lundberg's dedication to excellence in all aspects of life is clearly deserving of the respect, admiration, and commendation of this legislative body; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE HUNDRED SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, THE SENATE CONCURRING, that we hereby congratulate Samantha Leigh Lundberg on her upcoming graduation from Tennessee High School, commend her ongoing commitment to public service and helping her fellow human beings, and wish her much continued success and happiness as she continues her education at East Tennessee State University."
