What I was going to say...

When the truth broke in about ice storms... (Robert Frost - Birches)

Was that I am exhausted flipping over icebergs (ice-cold cold-cases) just to find that they are about the same size from North to South and East to West and Top to Bottom (Square, Level, and Plumb). And, the only reason I am kept out of the actual loop is because putting me in it would step on a bunch of well-sandeled cloven hooves.

Pedicures?

Perhaps you would prefer me to anoint your fat, piggy feet with oil and dry them with my fragrant hair?

At some point, hopefully in the near future, one of you ignoramuses (look it up so you are not so offended) needs to have a conversation in SL that goes like this.

"Paige, I have a problem." You will say.

"What is the problem?" I will ask.

"There is a cold case from Arkansas that has been dead for 30 years and we don't have the people to keep fact-checking all the false leads and insane conspiracy theories -- that we have on file, in boxes, on paper."

...or some such rot...

I will say, "it was the butler."

You will say, "what else do I need to know?"

And I will say, "HC paid ML over $2M ($2.143M in stock options...at Pappy's Company) the day ML's dress was cleaned and the DNA sample proved it was BC to get the play -- [BC didn't care as the entire Brotherhood thought it was a coup] -- to seduce HC's husband so HC could ride BC's ass all the way into the White House. HC liked the power so much she thought she might actually try to build a Political career. It is the story of the Puppet, the Poppet, and the Pro."

BC is the Puppet
ML is the Poppet
HC is the Pro

You will say, "Seriously?!"

I will respond, "Men fight battles. Women wage wars. The difference is attention span."

End of Transmission.


Pause.


Overheard:

Did HC actually just ask me to pay her when she sues me for defamation of character? Do I want to pay HC? Sweetheart, I already own you and you have NO CREDIBILITY so DEFAMING YOUR CHARACTER is moot. I have the emails about Benghazi on my servers. I keep them safe until there is a need-to-know and right now...the public doesn't. That's all.

Keep your nose clean and buy your husband a nice bottle of Glenlivet.

Scotch made even Braveheart seem like a movie with an actual plot.
