Like most of us on the left I have pretty mixed feelings about Christopher Hitchens. But he can be fun to watch when riled.
Of the nomination of Harriet Miers, by contrast, it can be said that only her religion has been considered by her conservative fans to be worth mentioning. What else is there to say, in any case, about a middling bureaucrat and yes-woman than that she attends some mediocre place of worship? One could happily make a case that more random civilians, and fewer fucking lawyers, should be on the court. But the only other thing to say about Miers is that she is a fucking lawyer. Her own opinion of herself is somewhat higher: She does not attribute her presence among us to the laws of biology but chooses to regard herself as having a personal and unmediated relationship with the alleged Jesus of Nazareth, who is further alleged to be the son of God. Such modesty! On this basis, the president and his people have felt able to issue assurances of her OK-ness.
its 2005, almost 2006, hasn't human intelect risen to the point where it asks: WHERE IS TEH FUCKING PROOF.
to base your vote on something imaginary is so stupid i cannot comprehend. someone help me.
