Miss me? Sorry for the lack of posting, but the better half has pulled a yeoman's duty in assisting her mother in moving from her home of 25 yrs. So, while she's been doing her daughterly duty, I've kept the home front with the progeny.
So to get back up to speed, we'll keep it short and sweet:
>Dick Durbin is an absolute fool - I'm sorry. but to bring up the skeletons of Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot even in the SAME BREATH as Gitmo shows NOTHING but partisanship. It is disgusting pure and simple. I may not agree with 40% of what the Bush admin does, but I will never vote again for the Dems if they continue to spew such vitriol.
>Rove's Rant - I'm sorry but did I miss something??? Didn't a large group of 'liberal' Democrats express just the sentiments Rove outlined? Didn't Atrios, Kos and others espouse just that?!?!? What about the wunder candate - Kerry? Please, just because your number two in the Senate, Durbin, makes an Ass of him self, don't think you once again have the moral equivalence....
>Supreme Court... Be afraid, be very afraid....
>So let me get this right. The Govt of 'State's Rights' re: Repubs, is flat out against State's Rights when it doesn't' meet their litmus test. Yet, the SCOTUS somehow, someway deigned in their wisdom to contrive a commercial product of something illegal in all but the most extreme circumstances...Medical Marijuana is a commercial product!?!?? So therefore can be regulated by the Federal Govt. Lord help us if and/or when abortion is overturned and sent back to the states. My guess is fetal material (Stem cells, DNA or hell, placentas) will be considered commercial material, thus regulated by Right-wingnuts.
>But wait, don't think the Right has a lock on the absurd. This next one is brought to us by the Left . . . The Kelo v. New London ruling left me absolutely speechless. . . . So, let's review. If a local govt deems a bit of property best suited for improvement for 'the better good of the local tax base', it can confiscate the property and basically give it to another PRIVATE entity for the purpose of increasing the revenue generated by that property. Does this raise alarms with anyone else? It better, this is one of our Constitutional foundations and it's been decimated by the Courts. This is not like freedom of Choice which is implied; this is a pillar of our Govt which has been ripped out!! I WILL take the extreme example and picture a local govt taking the waterfront/riverfront property and giving them pennies on the dollar, yet how do you compensate the view, the life of these people??
> And finally, SCOTUS decides file sharing is bad, cable sharing is bad but source sharing is required . . . and may women who file restraining orders be double afraid . . . jeez, this is all so frightening.
>But wait, there's more. From the Daou report, I linked to this from the Carpetbagger Report. This last year validates his supposition that Repubs are great at campaigning while the Dems are better at governing. Repubs are better in the Minority while the Dems do a better job in the majority. . . . Sorry, but I'm in agreement. Give me a Dem President and a Repub Congress ANY DAY! ! ! ! !
