Something I’d missed:
@bb:
I initially gave Dan Collins and his mto.com address the benefit of the doubt. It’s not unheard of for a government lawyer to consult former colleagues with expertise when drafting regs or statutes. Hell, lobbyists and corporations write most of that stuff anyway. However, he seems to be the same Dan Collins of https://www.proteinwisdom.com/ who blogs and comments all around, a real wingnut idealogue, and there’s much more to be learned about him than the Scalia connection.

I have become a conspiracy. But for purposes of “disambiguation,” let me assure you that I am not he.
Daniel Collins was the name of a fictional character that appeared on the 1960s ABC daytime soap opera Dark Shadows.
Wiki it, you goof. Let me state categorically that I have never been and have never represented myself as a government lawyer. Lay off, dude. I’ve had a hard, hard life.
Besides, I’m the wingnut ideologue here.
You’re just my li’l Boy Wonder.
Boy Wunderdawg. Woof!
You Vast Right-Wing Conspiratorâ„¢, you!
A friend of mine has the domain name ‘I am not a lawyer.com’
If you like I can arrange the buy.
Since everything is a conspiracy to our friends on the left, I wonder if they feel some overwhelming need to be besieged by boogeymen.
Oh, and for what it’s worth, I am NOT, in fact, a 12-foot hedgehog, I only play one on the internet.
I question the timing!
Well, you would say that, of course. Being a government shyster and all.
As for myself, I’d like to take this opportunity to categorically deny the rumors that I am “Queen of the Space Unicorns”, and invite Mr. Treacher (whose meme it is) to sue the frilly pink panties off of anyone who says I am.
I think I’m the only one here who can claim the crown of government lawyer.
because Dan and Collins are such unusual names. the combination of the two? even more rare.
maybe he figured you were dangerously smrt, like a lawyer. hee hee.
oh, and I am not a sweet brown tabby.
Dude!
Why would you TELL them it’s not true?
First, let them waste years of nutroot effort on this, and then yank the rug out from under them.
I swear, your comic timing sucks, Dan.
Turing: great85. Come on guys, today’s Bears are doing the best they can.
Busted.
I told you you should have changed your name to Schnickelfritz D’Avignon.
Good luck with that, Danny Boy. I gots me a stalker convinced I’m a former minister for Victoria State in Australia, determined to destroy the ecology by unchecked dredging.
McGehee—Is that the Schnickelfritz D’Avignon who wrote The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Upper Volta? Are you trying to get Dan in trouble…?
No no no. I’m talking about the Schnickelfritz D’Avignon who designed the packaging for Mexican Velveeta®.
Well, duh.
Mexican velveeta… isn’t that what they paint those Elvis and bullfighter paintings on…?
I was in a platoon Vietnam and killed my sergeant. Or something.
It is odd to hear your name used in a movie, though. Like when you first realize the playboy playmates are all younger than you are.
Ah, Wikipedia! Barnabus Collins was the character–vampiric and all–on Dark Shadows.
Google it!
I always assumed you were hiding your true identity, Mr. Alberto Gonzales.
Bush only picked me because they said he needed to appoint a new A(lberto)G(onzales).
Mr. Collins, is it not true that your brother, Tom Collins, is a tasty drink? Don’t look at your lawyer, Mr. Collins… just answer the question.
– One of my progressive aquiantances swears he has a small plastic replica of Vincent Price’s head that lives on his left shoulder, just on the edge of his peripheral vision, that talks to him all the time.

“I rike lice”—some Asian guy, just before I sprayed him with DDT.
And no, this doesn’t have anything to do with anything. Just felt like posting it.
The 2-4-D from the 1960’s left to age in a pole barn, with directions taped to the drum to mix 1/4 cup of liquid plantdeath to six gallons of water (IIRC- it’s been 15 years since I used that!) works real well too!
That poison ivy was brown and crumbly in three hours.
Wearing the old WWI helmet while applying the stuff may not have impressed them29, but it sure felt appropriate.
