for Supreme Court Harriet Miers is saying no way to her Supreme Court Nomination. Just in time to take some of the media sting out of the indictments about to be handed down for aides in the Bush administration. I was never impressed with her and apparently no one else was either. BUT! She is not a Right Wing Extremist from my estimation. I can't imagine the Democrats will be pleased with the next nominee. I am positive I will not be. Bush is loyal to his perceived constituents if nothing else. There is still a battle brewin' here people. I for one would rather have someone whose primary concerns are not overturning Roe vs. Wade, but someone who is logical and has an understanding of Constitutional Law. I don't want a Constitutional purest. I am Apache/Hispanic so you will have to forgive me if I don't give much credence as to what the forefathers would have wanted. We are advancing far beyond what we saw 20 years ago let alone 220. There are technological advances coming that will make Roe vs. Wade's ethical questions pale by comparison. We can either squelch Science & Technology, which will work as well as the "War on Drugs" or understand that some people are going to make choices that make others uncomfortable with those advances. I have heard the arguments that Roe vs. Wade was bad Constitutional Law. I can agree with some of those points. It has just not been enough to convince me that a government (Federal or State) should be writing laws in the first place about what a woman does to her body. Watch out America. You are about to get what you voted for.
October 25th, 2005 Alec Baldwin has a BLOG with opinions!
Today I make my return to Jokers
Jests. I was inspired by no other than Alex Baldwin the "Actor". I
read his post What
Happened to the Party of Lincoln and just had to respond. I don't know if
he will read it or if The Huffington
Post will even post it. They are clearly a left wing BLOG, but I am optimistic.
Baldwin on the other hand is just another squeaky wheel that wants grease but
refuses to help the car get to the mechanic. He wouldn't even give directions
unless he knew there was going to be a camera waiting to photograph his arrival.
I am not optimistic about his future. Unless South Park creators Matt Stone
and Trey Parker make a sequal to the funniest movie of 2004 Team
America. I just have to pay a little homage to Trey and Matt and Alec Baldwin
by posting the lyrics to a song you may have not have heard from the movie.
The song was nearly at the end of the credits and It was not on my copy of the
Soundtrack. YOU MUST HEAR THIS SONG!!
Your career has stallin' Story Links October 27th, 2004 Possible new species of dwarf sized human found.
It looks like a new genus of homo has been found. No not the modern kind. This is homo as in sapiens. Homo floresiensis, or Flores Man was discovered over a year ago and is estimated to be about 95,000 to 12,000 years old. The kicker is that the group of prehistoric humans were around the same time modern man was running around but they were also dwarf /hobbit sized. Yep, little tiny almost humans, stuck on an Indonesian island called Flores all by themselves. All while modern man were building fires, hunting, starting to use agriculture, and even using written symbols um I mean cave paintings. The species are not directly linked to man so it would be interesting to know if the two species ever met. Now this is still in the theory stage so don�t go trumpeting any horns for the Theory of Evolution. It does seem to be a significant story of our globes past. One to keep an eye out for in the future. Unless you think the devil put the bones there to throw us off the scent of heaven. Check it out in detail for yourself. Story Links
October 24th, 2004 2 Girly Men Attack Author/Columnist Ann Coulter 2 Quasi-Men were arrested on Friday October 22nd, 2004 in Tucson, Arizona. The two tough guys interrupted a speech by conservative Author Ann Coulter by separately trying to hurl a pie in her face. Coulter was too fast and avoided both men and their respective pies getting only a small amount on her left shoulder. Coulter must have seen them running on stage where she was standing behind a podium answering questions. She gave a short gasp and took immediate steps to dodge and separate herself from her assailers running back and exiting stage left. The two perps were caught as they tried to exit stage right. Isn't that ironic? They were arrested and booked on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and assault and on felony charges of criminal damage. Boo's for their classless act and cheers for their immediate arrests were heard from the crowd. The speech was sponsored by the UA College Republicans so I doubt they could have gone far.
At the time of this posting I don't know or care about the Political reasoning behind their attacks. I will stick my neck out and assume they are Left Wing Eco-Terrorists debating the issue the only way they know how... With physical acts instead of intellectual debate. I have seen Ann Coulter on Fox News numerous times and find her refreshingly upfront. She is a little too Party biased for me at times but I agree with her on many issues. She has 3 NY Times Best Sellers and had a private practice as an attorney in New York City. She is beautiful, opinionated, and intelligent enough to make most men very nervous in her presence. You can tell she likes to talk and I am sure she would have debated these men anytime, anyplace. Instead of trying to persuade any of the numerous people in attendance to their cause, they decided to take the low road with a cheap theatrical stunt. Uninspired and not funny.
William Zachary Wolff and Phillip Edgar Smith, both 24 years old and from Arizona might in some demented way feel proud of themselves for their inane protest. This time though they picked on a lady both too quick witted and fleet of foot to fall for the same old tricks from an eroded activist mindset.
Applause to Ann Coulter for being a true liberated woman and taking care of herself from The JoKeR. Story Links
