Blame Raph Nader, pt. 2
Jonathan Turley has a brief, informative summary of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts's views on the full menu of issues that the Court is going to be taking up in the next few years.
Put simply, as Turley says, the picture Roberts's consistent writings over the years paint show him to be someone who is going get on superbly with fellow justices Scalia and Thomas.
The 2000 election was the most important -- and most fucked up -- election in this blogger's lifetime.
Even on a day when the news is horrifying here and in Iraq (and, yes, for the extent of both tragedies, I blame Bush's policies and actions directly), I have found something else to be depressed about!
If you're reading this and you happen to be anywhere near Ralph Nader right now, please slap him in the face, or if you prefer, kick him in the groin.

No president in 100 years has taken the office w/o winning his home state. Al Gore couldn't even hang on to Tennessee. It's sad we got saddled w/ such dumbasses, but we're all collectively at fault for putting up with a system for so long; a system where the most qualified individuals our "great" country could come up with at the time were Bush and Gore.
You're whining is like a Russian who was proud of Stalin because at least he beat Hitler.
Sadly, it takes the stupidity of Bush to truly mobilize left wing and mainstream Americans to really move to progressive action, which you should see in the next couple elections.
...otherwise, I rather enjoy reading your blog. ;)
