I am totally impressed that she can reduce her comments to poetry (or at least rhyming sentences). I bet if the rule was we all had to rhyme there we be a lot less posters and postings.

I too, have no pity for someone who dies with $20 million. The sign of a life well lived should be that one's last check bounces. Dying with $20 mil is just a waste, and shows a decided lack of creativity in one's final years.

Dissent. One could die unexpectedly from having too good a time.

Since you would prefer to raise the tax burden on those who work for a living in order to allow those who are lucky enough to be born into wealth to inherit more of it, wouldn't that make you the one who lacks respect for the work ethic and favors entitlement?

No, my dear boy. We give everyone a tax break by firing the fattened middle of the govt, and slashing the military budget in half.

We assassinate the political class.

I want my own pet govt worker to do odd jobs. I'd call him Fetus, dress him in a joker costume and take him around with me.

I find posts written in verse unreadable, and any schtick that goes on for more than a few days intolerable. So, in a sense, you are right -- if no one is reading the posts, no one will respond, so there will be fewer posts. The board will be just Penske talking to himself. It reminds me of something William Bennett said....

At the risk of an STP - are you kidding re Warren?

Is it that you don't think Warren was a "political" type when appointed or that you think he had judicial experience. I looked up the history - he was gov. of California for 10 years before being appointed, and AG before that. He'd run for VP with Dewey. No prior judicial experience that I saw. Lots of political payback involved.

Kind of like Taft going on the bench.

That wasn't my original intent. I was just responding to Sebby in a style he would appreciate. I personally feel that one should take care of one's kids, and beyond that, I look to the words of Andrew Carnegie: The man who dies wealthy dies disgraced.

Vice President Cheney

In strategy meetings this morning, senior White House presidential advisers stressed to their staffs that the conservative anger they were hearing about regarding the Harriet Miers nomination to the Supreme Court would "dissipate" over the next 48 hours and everyone would soon realize the Miers confirmation was inevitable. "The impression is that people will be unhappy, but they won't actively oppose the nomination," says one attendee of a meeting. "They don't mind the anger, what makes them nervous is active opposition. Besides, they figure that the business lobby is going to do most of the heavy lifting just like they did on Roberts."

It may not work out that way. Already there are rumblings that a number of groups that quickly fell in line behind Roberts are preparing press releases that take much more of a hedge on Miers.

Already, there is increasing anger after Miers appeared so quickly with Sen. Harry Reid, who touted her qualifications, and Sen. Chuck Schumer cited conservative agitation as evidence that Miers must be a good pick.

Federalist Society phone call... not pleasant
Posted By: The Washington Prowler

It was not a pleasant experience on the Federalist Society call this morning. Word is now out that Harriet Miers was a registered Democrat for many years, albeit, according to former Republican National Committee Chairman, a conservative Democrat.

A number of folks were disappointed that the Federalist Society and several other conservative groups have already endorsed the Miers nomination. We don't expect that to hold.

From conversations up on Capitol Hill and elsewhere, the cronyism line appears to be building the biggest momentum right now. That and her utter lack of qualifications compared to other names that were under consideration.

In speaking with one of our White House sources, the word spreading through those halls right now is that President Bush and Miers never discussed particular issues that might come before the court.

Odd that I the day when I expose my break with the administration, admit that Bush lied, offer you a a direct and public olive branch, and offer the possibility that I may vote for a dimwit in 08 Prez election, you still find the need to engage in the politics of personal destruction. Sad.

See Sebby, this is why I don't believe in compromise. The ungrateful liberals of the society of entitlement have no room for compromise. They are the trojan horse of latent marxism, intent on destroying our system for the benefit of Madame Hillary and her RedChinese handlers.

OTOH, if Bobby Byrd offers a tepid faux-apology, he is transformed from a Kleagle to a conscience.

(A) They were surely gestures of protest. Symbolic? I think so, because they knew Cox would surely be fired in the end -- so their protest would have little or no practical effect in the short term.

In the mid to long term -- they had to know their resignations would harm Nixon immensely -- so if they had the intent to harm Nixon perhaps the gestures were not merely symbolic.

(B) You apparently speak out of ignorance, as well as extreme dislike for Bork. Mr. Richardson wrote a book (I think his biography) in which he is much kinder to Bork that you would seem to think is appropriate -- and set forth the basic facts as I recited them.

(C) It is hard for me to take your analysis seriously if you truly think that Bork is unprincipled and without a conscience. Seems the opposite to me (if anything, too strict an adherent to principle, without being sufficiently informed by reality).

A narcissist's devotion to his own peculiar notion of right and wrong is not the same as a conscience. Charles Manson still believes that if he had been given time, the revolution would have changed the world for the better. Pat Robertson believes he talks to God and God listens. It doesn't mean any of the three have anything more than a delusional estimation of their own importance.

Yes, and like Bobby Knight once said of rape, if its inevitable, relax and enjoy it.

W's legacy is officially shite. You heard it here first.

What makes you think you are so omniscient that you know that what they claim is not so?
