Alito-gator Tears

I've listened to quite a bit of the Alito hearings. On the radio. So I did miss the drama of Alito's wife, shedding a tear at the idea of anyone thinking (sniff, sniff) that her husband could be a biggot (sob). Frankly, I have listened to as much as I could stomach. I find it difficult to listen to questions being asked and someone doing that crazy, dislocating of the ankle Irish dancing in response. Can you answer the flippin' question? In ten words or less? Does every single response have to be a second year law school lecture? I want to tear something up when I hear this sort of crap. This is why nothing gets solved. This is why politicians bug the crap out of me. Answer the question! Answer the question! Arrrrgghh!
Ok. Better now.

You joined an alumni group that opposes the admission of minorities and women into Princeton...what do you have to say about that, Sammy?
I just wanted to be on their softball team.
Yah. Well. What about the fact that these guys uniforms said "white is right", doesn't that seem a bit, I don't know, racist?
They needed a left fielder.
Ok. Hmmm. Didn't the burning cross and noose in the dugout put you off?
I like softball. It's fun.

They get him to start down a path and suddenly they hit a wall.

You've said in the past that you do not agree with one man one vote, Samson, what do you think of that?
One man one vote. Did I say that?
You said that you didn't think the constitution allowed for that.
Did I?
Yes. Do you want to see...
No comment.
What?
Can't comment. Landshark.

I am sorry Mrs. Alito's feeling got hurt. To be honest, if my husband was there, I would probably be in a holding cell in the back because the second anyone started to question the integrity o'my man, I would fly over the table and violently grasp the neck of that senator and say through gritted teeth "wadidyasaybuddy?" They don't like that. I can relate to being protective. But when your husband repeatedly finds for the state, the corporation, the police, for the institutions and not the individual then you can pretty much guarantee that some people won't take too kindly to that, ma'am. When he joins an organization that wants to ban the admission of women and minorities, it's gonna look a tad bit racist and sexist. I just think, in future, when she starts feeling emotional, she should get into her mind the image of a ten year old girl being strip searched by the police without a warrant, and know that her husband thought that was A-OK.
Looking forward to future decisions from this fine specimen.

All Aboard…. Is Rosie O’Donnell’s documentary on HBO about a cruise ship she chartered for 2000 gay and lesbian family members and it aired last night. I only saw it today as we had recorded it. I have to say that I was tearful through at least 80% of the film. I don’t know if it is something innately a part of who I am, how I’m wired or just simply what I believe through life experiences that are the driving force behind my feelings on this subject. Over and over as I saw loving parents care for their kids, overcome incredibly obstacles to fulfill their desire to nurture and raise children, it just revolved in my head – love is love is love. Isn’t there enough hate running rampant in this world? I mean, given the opportunity to allow love to flourish don’t you think as humans that is our goal? To allow love to dominate? I know that’s what Christianity is all about. I know that when presented to Jesus, he said that love was the most important thing. This cruise wasn’t a gay pride, ...

Post Easter Musings I’ve been thinking about this whole legalistic point of view the right has been taking on immigration. And the thing that keeps getting stuck is how they (the hate radio guys) keep saying repeatedly that they want to get the guys that “cut in line” that “jumped in front of everyone else who is going through the process”. Now, believe me, I hate cutters. I have always hated cutters. There’s an entitlement issue there that really leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I have no problem, none whatsoever, in letting people who cut know that it is not acceptable. But let’s switch tracks here. Cody fell down the stairs at school. He was in a lot of pain and after calling his pediatrician, I was instructed to go to the emergency room. We went in. I spoke to reception. I filled out paperwork. I elevated his foot. Got him something to drink. Went into the triage nurse, got vitals, went back into the waiting room. Filled out more paper work. And sat. And sat. X came with loud...

This is from the site : www.gopauctionhouse.org Pretty revealing stuff..... How The GOP Auction House Hurts You Health Care Under Republican rule, millions more Americans have gone without health insurance, even as health care costs continue to skyrocket. The Republican Medicare bill, which barred Medicare from bargaining for lower prices, kept re-importation from Canada illegal, and punishes seniors with an enrollment cost hike for every year they do not sign up, also provides for an estimated $139 billion in windfall profits for the big drug companies. And despite minimal savings for seniors, it puts the federal budget in the red as far as the eye can see. The Medicare bill is the perfect demonstration of how the Republican Culture of Corruption comes at a cost to the American people every day. $139 Billion in Windfall Profits for the Pharmaceutical Industry Blocks Medicare from Collective Bargaining for Lower Prices Prevents Re-importation from Canada "The Medicare drug benefi...
