I noticed that last year he had a nasty bruise on his face for awhile.

Besides, it keeps me from using another name for him.
	It's not low self esteem -- there are rocks down there.

Very interesting link. Oh, and textiger, I agree that Tumbler is probably a lapidary reference after all.

Used to be quite the party animal in his younger days. S

I've heard a lot of stories about his partying youth.

Okay, we all know about 'tumbler' and you got your information from somewhere... so how is it a secret name?

Convinced myself, I seek not to convince.

Just like Dick Cheney was up to something fishy at Haliburton. Funny how he was dragged over the coals for months about alleged wrong-doing, but when he was completely exonerated - not a peep from the media.

Either the Republicans are real smart about covering their tracks, or the Democrats are too dumb to figure out all the wicked schemes. Hmmm...

Yep, that's why people keep giving them problems, they don't notice all the bodies. They just keep throwing their lives away while trying to bring down the corrupt GOP machine. You'd think all that blood would show up in the paper somewhere? Must be a cover-up.
