Standard Mischief

Why, signing legislation into law using an “auto-pen”, of course!

I can’t seem to find a source to tell me whether or not this is a first for any sitting president, but this blog over at ABC at least admits that way back in 2005, an attorney that works at the pleasure of the President says doing it this way is entirely kosher.

The LA Times informs us that past Presidents, celebrities, and public officials have all in the past used the auto-pen, except that the reporter left out the fact that this was usually used to sign form letters and Christmas cards.

This little bit of mischief ought to be good for a few million in lawyer fees, you know, to stimulate the economy. Of course, the only way you’ll ever be granted “standing” in a lawsuit is to hope the government is willing to admit that they secretly spied on you.

OK, yea. Despite what the post title – which I couldn’t help but use – says, this here looks pretty damn suspicious to me.

The evidence looks considerably more damaging than the earlier “African” item of note, which I didn’t feel was damning enough to comment on.

What’s the sentencing guidelines for forgery, Dems?

I found the above on a pair of thrift-store jeans. I guess “artificially aged to spoof the appearance of real vintage clothing that you can pay full retail price for in a mass-market retailer” probably would not fit on the label.

Anyway, in my size and $4, so I don’t care if I get paint on them.
