Well, actually, yes, it is. At least that's the way the founding fathers envisioned it.

Yes, because as a former exterminator, he's well qualified to assess the credibility of a Supreme Court justice's legal sources.

Sidd is a fucking attack dog- eh?

I don't care if they cut this guy's nuts off, I was just suggesting that the quote wasn't attacking the fact of internet research, just who did it- as Sidd is quick to point out- the quote was "he does his own Internet research." he does his own, implies that Delay's problem is not that internet research is itself malum per se, but rather he doesn't think Kennedy should be doing it. Why? fuck I don't know.

Yes, that's what everyone except you has been saying. You decided that this means that Delay is questioning Kennedy's computer skills -- which may be how tomorrow's explanation (i.e., spin) tells the story, but is hardly what Delay said.

Why? fuck I don't know.

Which doesn't seem to stop you from telling us the reason.


eta the complete quote from Fox News:

"We've got Justice Kennedy writing decisions based upon international law, not the Constitution of the United States. That's just outrageous, and not only that, he said in session that he does his own research on the Internet. That is just incredibly outrageous," DeLay said in the interview.


Fox also quotes DeLay as saying that the attacks on him are organized by a "Left Wing Syndicate." He's got documents to prove it. Is the LWS the new VRWC?

look pindick, i was answering mmmm56789 who asked "Is Delay (a) really that clueless that he's got concerns about internet research of precedent..."

I don't really give one good fuck about what Delay may have meant, but I was simply trying to help a relative newber here (mmm) understand an issue. You going into attack dog mode on my good-natured attempt to answer mmm798 will only serve to scare him, and other potential posters, who do not wish to suffer your dullard wit from posting here.

I've heard that the consensus is that they're looking to groom someone from either Latin America or Africa, and this is clearly an interim pope.

There are plenty of savvy Latin American Cardinals that don't need "grooming", thank you Vaticano. If they are really working from that "grooming" theory, that's pretty demeaning. Anyways, if they're waiting for this German guy to croak, those former Hitler Youths can live a long time. And yes, I take offense to the fact that of ALL the damn Cardinals out there, they had to pick the ONE fucking redhat who (as admitted in his biography) was a Hitler Youth. (And don't give me the "fled to the foot of the Austrian mountains" thing cause I saw that movie already).

Of course. The two of them displayed their heroic stances against genocide by hiding out in the scenic alps eating Jägerschnitzel, washed down with a nice Grüner Veltliner and followed by Ländler dancing, as millions of Jewish women and children were systematically slaughtered nearby. What a spiritual man.

Like Austria, I'm "neutral" on that issue.

Well, I don't post much here anymore (other than as another Penske sock) so I will go ahead and unload the last of my Papal rants. This one is a Muslim issue. I feel Joseph Rat Zinger's words speak for themselves thank you:


The Vatican's Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has reacted to "conventional wisdom" that "the Christian faith must give up its claim to truth" in the wake of 11 September.

The Prefect of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith made his observations on Friday when addressing a conference in memory of Bishop Eugenio Corecco of Lugano, Switzerland, on the topic Faith, Truth and Tolerance.

Ratzinger praised Islam for upholding the values of monogamous marriage and the dignity of women, which "undoubtedly demonstrate a cultural superiority".

"It is true that the Muslim world is not totally mistaken when it reproaches the West of Christian tradition of moral decadence and the manipulation of human life," he said. "This imposes on us a serious examination of conscience."

You were expecting the Catholic Church to be progressive and outward-thinking? This is the organization that took 400 years to admit wrongdoing on that whole Galileo, Earth-goes-round-the-Sun thing.

Personally, I'm shocked that they've named two non-Italian Popes in a row. (Popes-in-a-row being unrelated to Pope-on-a-rope, the product promoted by the great Guido Sarducci.)

What Jonah Goldberg says goes for me, too:

"Having been burned several times in recent months taking MSM coverage of conservatives at face value, I would like to see Delay's comments about Justice Kennedy and the internet in a larger context. But if he really thinks its inappropriate for a Supreme Court justice to do his own research on the web, then he really is off his feed."
