Pure political theatre

Ted Kennedy, the king of grandstanding, second only to Joe Biden, is confused. He, like Hillary Clinton, thinks that the role of a Supreme Court Judge is to advance liberal causes. He said this about Judge Alito..."he failed to demonstrate a commitment to the continued march of progress." You begin to wonder what the senior balloon from Massachusetts, as talk show host Laura Ingraham calls him, was thinking. That statement is devoid of content. It sounds good, it means nothing. Here's another quote suggesting that Judge Alito will somehow overturn equal opportunity laws... "If you care about the equal opportunity for employment for women. It's not going to be Judge Alito" The quote sounds a bit awkward, but you get the gist of what he's saying. Senator Kennedy is under the false impression that he can say anything and we will swallow it hook line and sinker. Does he think that the American people are so ignorant as to believe the Judge Alito can just magically start changing the laws just because he dons a robe? I think we at least need some cases to rule on before something is declared unconstitutional and therefore illegal. The confirmation hearings for Judge Alito did a wonderful thing, it exposed just how woefully ignorant Democrats like Ted Kennedy really are.

President Hillary Clinton.

If all the rumors are true, this woman wants to be your president. Lets examine the most recent position she has taken regarding the Supreme Court confirmation vote of Judge Samuel Alito. Senator Hillary Clinton wants a filibuster! Saying ..."I oppose his nomination and support efforts to block his confirmation" And why you ask? Hillary explains: "I do not think Judge Alito would advance the principles that Americans hold most dear" Hillary, who is a lawyer and a Senator, does not know what a Supreme Court Judge is supposed to do. It is not the job of a Supreme Court Judge to advance an agenda or principles, but to interpret the law as it is written, not how they would like it to be written. Pulling words and phrases out of the Constitution and twisting them beyond recognition to suit your needs or agenda is fraudulent behavior. This is the kind of Judge Hillary would like to see sitting on the Supreme Court and this woman wants to be your president.

Congratulations

Excellent work by our neighbors to the north in electing a conservative to head their government. I'm sure Wonder Woman, that sexy Canadian blogger, is on cloud nine. It's the blogosphere, and particularly bloggers like Wonder Woman with her ability to cut through the political fog with insightful and entertaining commentary, that wins the hearts and minds. Congratulations!

P.S. Thanks to Pappy over at SACoftomatoes for this little gem from Michael Moore. I guess talking down to Americans wasn't enough. Is there anyone more full of themselves (insert fat joke here) than Michael Moore?

Mice 2, Moles 1....Cats 0

For the 3rd time, Charlotte, Chloe, Sidney, Gracie and Ginger (our beloved cats) have failed to protect our house from the local vermin. No, not the neighbor's kids-- mice and moles. The first time it was mole in the basement. His loud squeaking alerted my wife, we went downstairs, scooped him up and let him go in my compost pile. The second time it was a mouse, the supposed natural enemy of the cat...... I wandered downstairs one Saturday morning to find 2 of our cats, Chloe and Sidney, staring at a corner of our dining room. These 2 do not normally get along well enough to sit near one another so I decided to look a little closer. What did I find? A cute little mouse, it's tiny little paws folded over his adorable little brown eyes in an attempt to shield himself from what would surely be an attack from a beast so violent as to consume him in a single gulp. Of course he's never met either Sidney or Chloe before and was not acquainted with their lack of ability to gulp. I went back upstairs and brought down the wife so she could see this anomaly of nature and then we scooped up the mouse in a cup and released him outside. The 2nd mouse was apparently hanging out in the house for a couple of days, and again my wife noticed it first. She observed that Charlotte, a particularly unforgiving cat, was unusually interested in the area around our dryer. A few minutes later a mouse appeared next to the sliding glass door and was immediately surrounded by 4 curious cats on the attack! However, this was no ordinary rodent! Reared up on his hind legs he was swatting back at these killer felines, chief among them the most fearsome of them all, the Momma! Ginger! Ginger is the mother of Charlotte and Gracie and not to be trifled with. The courageous little mouse held his ground long enough for us to get another rescue cup, and impressed with this display of courage, we scooped up the little gladiator and set him free in the garden. In summation, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, or mouse.

Hello? Is it ever dusty in here!

After a couple of weeks and a new hard drive, I'm back online. Thanks to Wonder Woman for taking time out of her busy schedule to post for me. Thanks to Rob for visiting and thanks to my wife because it's always a good idea to thank the wife even if you don't have a specific reason. Lots of things have happened since I was sidelined. Harry Belafonte called President Bush the "the greatest terrorist in the world" (I see coffee mug potential here) while sitting next to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Ted Kennedy was being Ted Kennedy and likewise for Diane Feinstein, Chucky Schumer and of course the great prevaricator, Joe Biden. All this great stuff happened and all I can do is yell at the radio! Oh well, that's all in the past, I'm back, and loving every minute of it.
