Recent manifesto received in newsrooms - an excerpt:

--------------------

"We are Unitarian Jihad, and our motto is: "Sincerity is not enough." We have heard from enough sincere people to last a lifetime already. Just because you believe it's true doesn't make it true. Just because your motives are pure doesn't mean you are not doing harm. Get a dog, or comfort someone in a nursing home, or just feed the birds in the park. Play basketball. Lighten up. The world is not out to get you, except in the sense that the world is out to get everyone.

Brother Gatling Gun of Patience notes that he's pretty sure the world is out to get him because everyone laughs when he says he is a Unitarian. There were murmurs of assent around the room, and someone suggested that we buy some Congress members and really stick it to the Baptists. But this was deemed against Revolutionary Principles, and Brother Gatling Gun of Patience was remanded to the Sunday Flowers and Banners committee.

People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution. "

You know things are bad when Democrats start taking out ads in on the radio using their campaign money to object to the new tax bill.

Oh, the things we do in this state to avoid a state income tax. Strippers, booze, sales tax. Everything but income...

Maybe I was being obtuse. Was the characterization of the stripper-tax as a tax on "broad-based businesses" intentionally or unintentionally funny?

Rumour is that the Senate Dumbocrats suggested Judge Sonia Sotomayor of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and Judge Ed Prado of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals as possible nominees to the SCotUS when Bush let them come to the White House today.

These two do not appear on my list Sorry liberals, nice try, thanks for playing, but, whiff

This whole advise and consent thing has been flipped on it's head. Yes, the President needs the advise and consent of the Senate. The DEMs apparently believe that "Senate" should be replaced with "the minority party, so long as the minority party is the Democratic Party."

Now where could they possibly have gotten THAT idea?

You're referring, of course, to the Republicans' long history of filibustering judicial candidates?

Nina Totenburg was talking about Orrin Hatch's suggestions to Clinton for the Supreme Court this morning: Ginsburg and Bryer. In 1993 and 1994, who was the majority party in the Senate?

I am sure it will depend on the meaning of "filibuster".
