So what were the 215 investigations about? Could it be Politics???

About the law? Oh wait, the Bush administration didn't give a tinker's
damn about that.


It's....tinker's dam. Really. Has to do with fixing pots. Really. :)



Lol... fixing pots?


Absolutely. The etymology, if you will, is in dispute, but when I
learned the phrase a few score ago, it referred to a temporary "dam" or
backstop made of flour and water itinerant roving workmen (typically
Irish) in the British Isles used in soldering up holes in my lady's
pots. More recent sources attribute the phrase to the steady form of
cursing employed by the tinkers.

Ya pays yer ha'penny and ya takes yer choice.
