shit, i know first-hand. bro-in-law used to be a journo. they'd have these conferences-- holy shit! quaffers. i've sat next to them a few times.
plus recently i read an article about this journalist who died young. apparently she woke up & drank-- that's what she considered "normal"
not universalizing the particular though-- her story just reminded me of the rest

I know he's New Jersey tough, but that's pushing it for a prospective leader. He'd have to shatter yet another precedent, and he already has several going against him.

WHO WRITES THE LAWS?
