This post is in honor of “Buck Smith” (aka U.S. Senator John Cornyn staffer David Beckwith), who has recently been outed using a pseudonym to post on Democratic (and possibly other) sites.
In one post (referring to the “Big John” video), he commented:
“I personally believe Beckwith deserves a raise and/or a promotion for whatever role he […]

I’m a little busy making dinner for Misty — she gets back from her business trip to Kansas City tonight — but I just read something McBlogger wrote that I think deserves emphasizing:

We couldn’t get into the main exhibition hall because […]

From four until . . . when did we get home?
My brain feels dehydrated.
