    Took the redeye back to the home of those eastern bastards. Weekend was great, though I’m used to bullshit and horseshit in meetings rather than on the streets. Drank far too much Bud (granted 1 is far too much, but far too much for any beer).
    Yahoo! – dumbest rodeo slogan ever.. should really be yeehaw for that extra redneck flavour.

    @terry – very interesting. 10:15 vs carney at 10:40. not that anyone has to be “original” on this site (nor did he say it was his own work), this does bring journalistic integrity into question. perhaps a link to above the law site would have been appropriate…
    Carney – what say you?

    Cody Willard titling a column “I Am Diagnosed with Lyme Disease and It’s Causing Bell’s Palsy on My Face” and than writing it in his flippent style is the absolutely most weird column I have ever read.

    Yeehaw would require more people in overalls and rubber boots to be fully effective.
    In the meantime, insert jokes about 8-second rides here.

    Oh, and overheard a couple of times in the past few days from guys just shopping around for job opportunities:
    Person A: “I’m just checkin’ out to see who’s got what open where.”
    Person B: “It’d be pretty easy to get your name over to Lehman.”
    Person A: “Don’t you fucking dare!”
    Nuff sed.

    Abovethelaw is the sister site to DB, so I don’t think this is too scandalous…but given the timing I don’t this was Carney’s original idea. From what I can tell, the guy who edits ATL is some kind of log cabin Republican.

    DB needs to merge with abovethelaw in order to survive.
