Comments on: Brown Resigns and it finally begins… http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2005/09/12/brown-resigns/ Feminist, anti-racist, pro-fat, plus whatever else we feel like talking about.

It's going to happen, folks. Judge Roberts' judicial philosophy is not going to keep him from being confirmed. His opponents won't be able to Bork him because he won't rise to the bait, and apparently there's no personal issues that'll trip him up. It's going to be interesting to see how "originalist" he is, and how that will affect the court. It's the next appointment that will be the real battleground, since that's the one that will supplant O'Connor's vote. “If confirmed”? It’s going to happen, folks.

Luckily, my bus came before I had a chance to go up to them and "innocently" ask whether A) They really believe the Democrats have any intention of stopping Roberts and B) What they'll do to change the sorry state of their own "protectors" when the inevitable happens. The answer, of course, is nothing, because we mustn't hurrrrrrrrrt the poor helpless Demos. Sure, they hurt us constantly with shit like this, out of some combo of opportunism, laziness and sheer malice, but it would be rude to return the favor, of course. (rolleyes) Must play nice with the masters like a good li'l serf. I saw about a dozen folk waving pro-choice signs on the corner of MLK and Hawthorne Monday morning.

The world is ending, the world is ending! Now if only this reasoning could be applied to Rumsfeld...

Why else put Brown to head FEMA when his claim to fame is being the director of a organization involving horses? No need for some to say his resume was padded. Because in BushLand, no resume is needed. The qualities he looks for in people to fill staffing positions aren't usually found on resumes.
