When you have Lords Cheney and Rumsfeld and propaganda minister Rove
remodel your tent, you get a rare combination of skills that come together
and form a team. First rate American corporate cannibalism decides which
parts are outside your narrow spike of ideology and drives off what they can't
sell off for a quick buck, then a man who believes the right weapons technology
and 3 people who rotate shifts so one is always awake, should run the universe,
extols how we can know the unknowable but unknowingly know the known is
often unknown until he bullshits himself into suspended animation and becomes
more useful for the sideshow, next to the bearded lady, than for the main tent.
In order to shrink a tent like this you need time, and you buy time with scaring
those you can, and playing Sgt. Schultz and seeing nothing while the ones
who don't scare easy opt to explore the new field of Gaussian kinky economics.
Last and not least, you allow the propaganda minister to smoothly slide to
the center ring on a shimmering track of slime and delight that with the tent
now shrunken to Fuhrer Bunker size, he can whisper sweet and snarky
nothings before he intones that "the tent has now been optimized for the
true circus lover, and everyone gets a free round of fear on the house".
The clowns, being organized, strike at having their labor usurped and
picket outside the tent until they get hungry and go home.


I think someone forgot they were making tents for elephants or else
they thought if Rush fit inside, they had it made in the shade.
A party formed this circus and brought it to town, they joined ranks
and stood behind it loyally and rock solid, they told us that it was the
very best they had to offer.

I believe them.

I will however, always remember the act where all the money was made to
disappear and people were told to look for it in the next circus to come to
town. If these were carnies instead of true blue circus hands, I think it
might have upset a few people.

Schmuto, the only place I could imagine such a view of the
situation is if the scenario was spied by a spirochete looking
out into the world from the distal end of a male urethra and
hurting from the bight lights, ducked his head back inside
and just made the rest up. I now am convinced that the milk
of human kindness can be made into Limburger cheese.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('cbxer55', 'B')oy is that opening a can of worms! Anyone remember Miguel Estrada? After aggressively blocking Estrada's nomination to a federal appeals court during Bush's first term solely on the grounds that he is Hispanic and was likely headed for the Supreme Court -- according to Senate Democrat staff memos -- now Democrats have the audacity to rave that Sotomayor will be the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice!
If Sotomayor is not more empathetic than Estrada, liberals at least consider her more Hispanic -- an interesting conclusion inasmuch as Sotomayor was born in New York and Estrada was born in Honduras.
Forty-four of 48 Senate Democrats voted to filibuster Estrada's nomination to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, with congressman and professional Hispanic Raul Grijalva assuring them that just because "he happens to be named 'Estrada' does not give him a free ride."
The truth is liberals couldn't care less about Sotomayor being Hispanic. Indeed, liberals often have trouble telling Hispanic people apart, as James Carville illustrated on "Good Morning America" Wednesday morning when he kept confusing Miguel Estrada with Alberto Gonzales.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('cbxer55', 'Y')ou say the republican's need to do something about race. Did I not just show that we tried to appoint a hispanic during G.W. Bush's first term, and the democrats shot him down.
From my perspective it looks like the democrats need to do something about race.
Yeah we know the b--ch is going to get appointed, even though she is probably the least qualified for the job.
But hey, we already know how that works, since the guy least qualified to be president is in the white house.
And it shows every freakin time he opens his mouth and reads the tele-prompter.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smallpoxgirl', 'I') don't see how you get that. The Comstock laws were passed about the same time as most of the abortion bans in the US-the mid 1800s. Seems more that we have a long history of governments extirpating privacy within marriage.

Now just imagine if Obamoa's choice for the Supreme Court gets onto the bench!! Wake up America!!!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Supreme Court ruled Monday that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge.

How fitting that the city got sued for discrimination because the action they took was to keep from getting sued for discrimination. The idea that discrimination against men and whites is acceptable is wrong and this case is a step in the right direction. We have traded potential and perceived discrimination for guaranteed discrimination thru the quota and "Equal Opportunity" laws and programs.

In a true meritocracy those of ability and drive will be able to thrive. Too bad much of the west has destroyed or damaged the system of merit that allowed them to become first world countries. Perhaps this is why we are falling relative to the East now?

When you discriminate or show preference FOR something you are discriminating AGAINST the rest.

[PrestonSturges]

OK, so the Robert's court already said it's OK to discriminate against women, and age discrimination is OK too. Oh, and your house can be seized if someone with more money wants to build something there. I guess this pretty covers all the bases then.

[TreeFarmer]

I agree that the eminent domain ruling was incorrect. Public use is not taking property from someone just so that you can then sell it to someone else you like better.

Sonia Sotomayor
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')arlier this year, President Obama's Supreme Court nominee joined an opinion with the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that Second Amendment rights do not apply to the states.

A 2004 opinion she joined also cited as precedent that "the right to possess a gun is clearly not a fundamental right."

Ken Blackwell, a senior fellow with the Family Research Council, called Obama's nomination a "declaration of war against America's gun owners."
