Ganon posted:There is an administrative law judge who sits in an office in a building near the white-house, earns around 200k per year and has a secretary, and he does nothing except sit, read, and listen to classical music all day. His secretary likewise does nothing. He gets meals taken to him from the White-house kitchen, and is so lonely that he latches on to whoever gets sent and talks to them for hours about the korean war. His family is all dead and his secretary hates him. In a drawer in his desk he has an old revolver, which he got in there somehow despite that he shouldn't have been able to bring it in. I think he will shoot himself one day. This is the strangest and yet the most believable thing.

I've heard similar stories, its apparently what you do with someone who knows too much to be let go from government service but is no longer able to serve in their previous capacity for whatever reason. Usually they way I've heard it is former spies though I suppose a judge would know where enough bodies were buried if they sat on a FISA court or something similar.

That whole post is just a copy-paste from the OP of a somethingawful thread from 2006, FYI. I remember it being fan-fiction, but it's been so long (8 years, Jesus Christ) I can't remember how I came to that conclusion.

Obama hates this one weird trick discovered by a mom to end the drug war in Mexico: laser or blitz them with some fighter jets for a little while. We did it before and we should have no qualm about doing it again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp6OCQJW6rg&t=2553s Also this guy's gonna be a congressman in January, so we got that to look forward to.

Speaking of invading foreign nations, Mark Walker, the Republican candidate for House in North Carolina's 6th district pines for days the Polk administration.quote:I will tell you if you have foreigners who are sneaking in with drug cartels to me that is a national threat. And if we got to go laser or blitz somebody with a couple of fighter jets for a little while to make our point, I don't have a problem with that either. So yeah, whatever we need to do. You'll also be shocked to hear that he supports impeaching Obama. It's an R+11 district.
