Why do so many of our elected officials behave like the south end of a horse going north?

He said that in a private conversation with Obama, he’d been assured that Souter’s replacement wouldn’t be a bomb thrower.

After eight years of poisoning the federal bench with Federalist Society kool-aid drinkers, we’ll see if Obama stands up for the Constitution and rule of law by getting someone on the Court that deserves the title, the Honorable Justice …

after some dental work last week, I seem to have acquired something of a brand new lisp. Who knew that those things were so expensive?

I should have gotten a used one.

What leadership? they can’t decide whether it’s Rush, Newt, Ms. McConnell or Michael (da man) Steele. I think they should stay right where they are – it’s great for the Dems.
