As cajuns say in N'Awlins............where ya't? Still have some hurricane bidness in N.C. area?
Wrapping up. Will be heading up the coast in a day or two.
How did the N.C./S.C. coast look to you? Docks and piers gone? And beachfront properties pretty bad I bet.
It is a mess. Lot of storm surge damage. It was that and rain more than the winds. We got a couple decent size salvage jobs out of it. No need for explosives on them though, no fun there! lol!
Typical guygot to have the BOOM! factor
What can I say? It breaks up the day! Have a good night Stretch, always a pleasure!
Probably because it was unspoken.
Here's an actual e-mail from Brett Kavanaugh from September 10th, 2001 where he talks about a boy's trip on a day cruise in Annapolis.
The last sentence before his closing is very telling:
"...and growing aggressive after blowing still another game of dice (don't recall)"
So he was blackout drunk on a day cruise in 2001, got aggressive because he lost a game of dice, but takes their word for it because he "don't recall". Because he was fucking drunk.
Being "unspoken" is just negative speculation on your part. It could be because any excessive drinking stopped with age and becoming an appellate court judge.
That letter was from 2001 before his twelve years on the bench.
But it clearly didn't, which is why I posted that 2001 e-mail.
Yeah, he was working in the fucking White House.
And it establishes that his drunken behavior didn't end when he graduated college.
So if he was still a sloppy fucking drunk as recently as 2001 when he worked in the Bush White House, why wouldn't he continue those drinking habits today as a federal judge?

I drank a lot of beer in college, smoked a lot of pot, freshman yr. in the frat had Thurs. night pledge exchanges with jungle juice (punch with Everclear).
One of the guys once put a tape recorder in the girls' bathroom and one of the girls in there who had to be a freshman because it was a pledge exchange was recorded saying, " A mile of dick out there and I can't get 6 inches." Wish I had known who she was.
Professional school was more beer drinking on Fridays and 4 yrs. of promiscuity with some coke added in (the '80's).
Ah, youth.
Now I don't even drink.

I see no reason to believe Brett chilled out either, because 1. there is no record of hitting any bottom and no AA ordered, and 2.
he is the highest high bottom drunk type there is. He is an extremely high functioning alcoholic, able to get straight As
from a top school in a top field and run his court calendar or at least execute and manage others to prep him to do so....
That part is really quite impressive. Not many can burn the candle at both ends with such perseverance and longevity.
None of this indicates do me any reason whatsoever why he should have stopped heavy drinking. He beat the system.
He can do it. Why change something he enjoys when there had been no adverse consequences? Nope, he is still a lifelong
and dedicated heavy drinker. They will pull that bottle out of his cold dead hand.

I have a friend who's an orthopedic surgeon that drank like that in med school. He specializes in micro-hand surgery and was recently voted one of the top orthopedic surgeons in Atlanta by his colleagues. Does regular missions to Haiti with Doctors Without Borders.
Most I know that were like that had an epiphany at some point and stopped. I did.
Then how do you account for his performance at the hearing?

My comment was in response to the idea that because one drank heavily as a youth they automatically would do so as an adult. I disagree strongly with that assertion.
Did he continue his drinking habits into adulthood? Because Brett did. We know because he even talked about it in e-mails from when he was a Bush the Dumber swamp monster.
Bull-fucking-shit.
Once a lush, always a lush.
The problem with you trying to equate someone binge-drinking in med school with someone who was a habitual binge drinker for at least 10 years, starting in his youth, is that one does not validate the other.
Well, he was a habitual binge drinker for at least ten years, starting in high school. So that's 4 years of binge drinking during high school + 4 years of binge drinking during undergrad + 3 years of binge drinking during grad school is 11 years of habitual, consistent, repeated binging and blackouts while the human brain is still developing well into your 20's. So while BRett's brain was developing, it was being poisoned over and over and over and over, for a period of 11 years at least, with alcohol.
Do you not think that consistent, repeated, habitual blackout and binge drinking won't have negative effects on the mind of a young person? Effects that likely will persist and only get worse as you movie into adulthood and continue those drinking habits?
Be honest.
I made horrendous choices and brain-dead decisions from age 18>22. It was easy to just go with the flow in a bar atmosphere. It was "normal" when we'd get off at 2am to go to other bars to wind down with drinks and music at other bars that would be open till dawn, then out for breakfast. I had a WTH moment around 22 and decided to just separate job from actual life, LOL! I kept it that way till I quit bartending around 38. All those years though I still never kept any liquor at home. Maybe buy a 6 pack of Mich Lite which would last a month. For the last 20 years I buy 1 good bottle of Beaujolais every November when it comes out and it lasts me a year.
Well, to that dumb point, I submit Brett's e-mail from September 10th, 2001 where he talks about not telling spouses about the drinking day cruise he attended, got drunk at, and then couldn't remember "getting aggressive" over losing a game of dice.
So now comes what excuse from you? We know Brett's alcoholism was there as recently as at least 2001, when he worked in the Bush White House as a swamp monster.
Just give up the goat, dude. Just admit this guy's a fucking lush who has no business weighing decisions for all Americans in an alcohol and gambling-induced haze.
Because don't forget, Brett's also a gambling addict.
