Before I 'retired'* I was a lawyer, so some would consider becoming a major network television news anchor a lateral or backward move when it comes to the opportunity to 'make things up.'
Note that for the final twenty+ years of my practice, I was a regulatory healthcare attorney whose practice focused almost exclusively on two (two! two! two!) federal statutes and the accompanying regulations, agency guidance, advisory opinions, issued industry guidance, tea leaves, and ending position of charred mouse bones tossed onto the dusty Bethesda, Maryland ground by a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services shaman. CMS? DOJ? Now those ladies and gentlemen are true pioneers at making things up.
Yours for softer bicycle seats,
Waco Slim
*'Retired' - still working, but choosing what I want to do rather than having someone drop it in my lap.
P.S.: You probably think I'm kidding about the two! two! statues/regulations part. I wish I were. I'm a drooling idiot when it comes to many things in life and specifically when it comes to any area of the law other than those two! two! statutes and accompanying regulations. With respect to those two S&AR, I'm merely an idiot. I rarely drool.
I’m thinking that when the economy collapses we can burn Federal Regulations to provide energy for a looooooong time.
That’s nice to know. I think. Interesting, for sure. Though-provoking, indubitably. I will file it in my Department of Useless Information drawer along with the rest of the trivia that has been accumulating since 1964, when the file began.
