1. If you have to fire someone, you don't do it on a Friday when they have all weekend to get extremely worked up mad

You do it on a Monday morning, so the fired person can immediately take positive action and start looking for a new job instead of stewing about how to get even. It's the kind way to deliver bad news.

Conversely, if you want to stick it to someone in a legal action, you do it late Friday when the courts will be closing for the weekend. With any luck at all, giving the defendant all weekend to rage with no way to take action for 48 hours just might trigger some stress related physical incident and if so, possible appeal problem solved.

Just sayin'

7. Why would they react any more to this ruling than the E Jean Carroll rulings?

give us a break... last night I was just counting - almost 10 years of this hideous monstrosity.

No one it seems will come to the aid of everyday Americans who are sick, downtrodden, depressed, and anxious from all this.

10. Now THIS is great reporting:

It was posted at 3:33 PM, late in the workday

It says:

It will likely not be today…
It may be early next week
It may be earlier than that
It may be later than that

Frigging genius stuff. I wish I could do that in my work:

At 4PM:

Your dental case with your bridgework will likely not be returned today from the lab

It may be returned 1week from today
It may be returned later
It may be returned sooner

The patient would metaphorically gouge out my eyeballs if I said this to him or her. And rightfully so.

11. Pffft, sounds like my dentist.

I dumped his ass.
