He often mentions that he is a recovering alcoholic..... :II:

He's also a Mormon, but the only people that hold that against him are liberals and the media....
Murphy's 3rd Law:  "You can't make anything 'idiot DUmmie proof'.  The world will just create a better idiot DUmmie."

Liberals are like Slinkys.  Basically useless, but they do bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs...
 
Global warming supporters believe that a few hundred million tons of CO2 has more control over our climate than a million mile in diameter, unshielded thermo-nuclear fusion reactor at the middle of the solar system.

My unit's Christmas party was yesterday.  I really didn't have a problem with it then--even after we got the news that our agency's director resigned at noon!  (He was . . . well, a jerk, to put it mildly.)  It was a cause to celebrate, and I did with a portion of prime rib and ginger ale.

My husband stopped drinking a few months after I did.  It was difficult when they were TDY, but they got very used to him being their designated driver that his crew stopped pushing drinks on him.    

You made it through your unit's Christmas party!!!   WOOHOO -- excellent.   H5.  One day at a time!
