Ad hoc
My brain is still much off-line. Yesterday evening, I remembered that I'd been sleeping poorly due to ongoing sniffles, and took a decongestant before going to bed. Unfortunately, I did not remember until after a couple of hours of lying awake that pseudoephedrine is a stimulant.
There is some cognitive dissonance in seeing an ad for an upcoming pseudo-Greek-mythology movie immediately followed by an ad for a TV series called Sirens.
"Your Honor, my client was in her kitchen, in her own home, having a pleasant discussion with her mother-in-law about her dishes. Suddenly they were confronted by a stranger, a house-breaker, brandishing — threatening them — with a package. My client was armed, as was her right, and acted to defend herself, her home, and her family from that self-styled 'kitchen counselor'. It is hard to imagine a more reasonable application of the 'stand your ground' laws."
Not that I approve of the "stand your ground" laws, but I am terribly tired of the spate of "kitchen counselor" ads.
