11. Great pictures...but I can't help thinking...this is gonna make family get togethers really ackward

for that brother. Mom's gonna be all "Your sister's on the Supreme Court now and you still have that dead end job and when are you gonna give me grandchildren" and like that.

Poor bastard's really in for it now.

14. He's doing okay for himself

He's a doctor (pediatric allergist) and I think he brought children to the Senate hearings.

[Ken Burch]

19. Never mind. I meant it as a joke.

[tabatha]

15. Wow - making stuff up a little, including the judgement level of the family

Sonia's younger brother, Juan Sotomayor (born c. 1957), is a physician and university professor in the Syracuse, New York, area.<12><13>

Try wiki.

[Ken Burch]

18. OK, lighten up. I didn't mean to diss the guy.

Just having fun with family dynamics. Are people really this touchy today?

[Merlot]

20. Well, I knew you were kidding, if that helps

[Ken Burch]

21. Thanks.

Guess everybody else took their anti-comedy pills today.

Seriously, I am glad that Justice Sotomayor was sworn in. No disrespect to her or her brother intended. OK?

[Sal Minella]

22. I thought your "Look how well your SISTER'S doing!" post was funny,

but I've been jumped on several times lately for no good reason, and I've just about given up posting for the time being.

It's not just anti-comedy around here lately -- it's like everybody's hyper-excitable, and bites without even barking first.

Somebody will now rise up and call me an ignoramus because "everybody knows" a dog who's going to bite you doesn't bark first.

I hope we all get better soon. This is like walking on spilled carpet tacks. . . . :shrug:

[Ken Burch]

23. Yeah. DU either needs decaf or a really good laxative

or possibly both.

[Merlot]

28. Or a good purging of those who are looking for trouble instead of

discussion. Ya, there is quite a few people out there who have ulterior motives. (see the paid troll post)

[Ken Burch]

29. Would that have been post #15?

n/t.

[EFerrari]

16. Maybe now Sonia will get as much attention as her brother always has.

:yoiks:

[deep1]

13. She looks like Katherine Jackon

A younger, light skinned version of Katherine Jackson. Congrats to her.

[FatDave]

17. Did Roberts fuck up the oath?

:evilgrin:

[defendandprotect]

25. Trust Sotomayor will be good for all Americans .... Best Wishes, Justice Sotomayor!
