Justice Thomas landed the right job for himself — and America
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
But for the failure of any law firm in Savannah or Atlanta to offer him a job out of Yale Law School, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas would likely have wound up as a tax lawyer working corporate finance in the bowels of a big Southern law firm.
Praise thee, rejection.
“I didn’t go to law school thinking about living in New York or living in D.C.,” Thomas told The Atlanta Press Club last week. “I wanted to come back to Savannah” to work with the now-dissolved law firm of former state Rep. Bobby Hill. Though memories differ on whether the firm offered him a job upon his graduation from Yale, Thomas remembers rejection there and among the big firms in Atlanta. “That was a time of dashed hope and expectations and frustration,” he said. “To say I was frustrated is an understatement. I was absolutely despondent about it. It was one of those times I got to see just how difficult it was to deal with rejection.”
Critics hear Thomas talk about such memories and hear an angry and bitter man at the top of the world with a chip on his shoulder. That is not, frankly, the man who showed up in Atlanta last week, either at the press club luncheon or later at a book-signing sponsored by the Federalist Society and the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, both organizations that would champion the originalist philosophy Thomas brings to the court. At the Federalist-Heritage event, an adoring crowd of 900 people stood in a line that snaked around the walls of a banquet-size room waiting for a signed copy of “My Grandfather’s Son,” a remembrance of his grandparents’ life lessons.
It’s unfortunate that more of the Thomas critics don’t see — or actually hear — the man behind the caricature they have created. Thomas is, in my view, among the most wronged of the honorable public figures in American life. While there’s no value in revisiting his confirmation, the truth is that it was a smear directed at a man who held the “wrong” views for his skin color. He was the collateral damage of the abortion wars. He was asked at both events about the Anita Hill episode and why he’d revisited it in the book. “Well, if I left it out you would be asking me the opposite,” he told the press club.
Listening to a Southerner residing elsewhere talk about place, and the good people who lived there, is to feel an immediate affinity — as Georgians undoubtedly would with Thomas.
“So much written about the South and places like Savannah is written through the prism of what was wrong,” said Thomas. “Of course there was lots that was wrong. I don’t have to go over that. We all know. It was the ’40s and the ’50s and the ’60s. But there’s a lot that was good.
“Out in Liberty County, the family members there out on the farm, these people were good people. There was something about them. There was no sort of vision. There was no notion that they would be doing any more than the sort of hard labor that they had been assigned to, or had been assigned to them. And yet, they endured, they persevered and they stayed positive.
“There was something that needed to be said about them.” Over the years, he said, “I have thought that my grandparents were saying ‘remember us.’ This book is to leave a record of that. …”
“I would hope there is in this book something that would give hope to this young man sitting here or to someone who is going through struggle. Maybe there’s something when they’re sitting down and studying math and it’s hard and they can see that doors will be opened for me, or someone who has a disability, or someone who has a financial challenge, they can say, ‘look, it is going to be OK if I keep at it.’ “
A bitter man? That is, I think, a fantasy of the left, of critics who can never acknowledge that their political basis for trying to destroy his professional life was cheap and frivolous.
We can return later to the newsworthy observations, to his judicial philosophy, to the accounts of life on the bench.
But for this day, the man before us is a Southerner remembering home and people and place. “It’s home,” he said. “I truly miss home. … I left here, and I was trying when I stopped in Washington, D.C., in 1979, I was trying to get home.”
I am torn. No true Southerner who’s ever lived elsewhere could fail to understanding the yearnings to come back. I do. But he now serves America — and I want him there, on the U.S. Supreme Court, for always.

Well, I first thought they made a big mistake by naming this Thomas to the Supreme Court. After that Marshall fellow had went and made librul decisions about most anything. We all know that what one of Those People want ain’t going to be good for a good white Christian conservative or the wallet.
But there was a hint at the start that Thomas was as close to a good old boy as we was going to get. Like the jokes about pubic hair on the Coke can and such and the fact he kept a woman in her place.
Turns out if it wasn’t for Thomas we would have a abortion clinic in every shopping center and a lot of criminals that need killing would still be alive. They would be waking up in prison cells instead of dead. He voted on the Right side of a lot of 5-4 rulings. So I guess if you have to have one of Those People in a important guvmint job Thomas is about as good as you’re going to get for us white Christian folk. I still wouldn’t want the guy eating supper at the trailer, but I guess he’s OK. For one of Those People, that is.
I’m awful scared of what will happen to the SC if this Hillary person gets elected. A lot of the SC justices are getting old and about to kick the can. This Hillary person will name libruls to replace them and then we’ll have Sodom and Gonorrhea in the U. S. of A. The country won’t be fit to live in. Like I said before me and my buddy Jim Earl will leave the country if she gets elected. Our good Southren way will be gone.
Anyway, I’m real intrusted in what TFTT has to say about Thomas. I never seen nobody that could blast Those People and the Mexicans like he can. Unless it was Lonny McAdams up at Billy Bob’s. Oncet old Lonny gets a few PBRs down he can really cut loose on them. But he can’t string a bunch of cuss words together like TFTT. Its just a pity TFTT didn’t take us up on being a Ornery Redneck up at Billy Bob’s. Him and Lonny could really make a great team.
Well, I got all my bars stocked up and ready for the Baptists. Course, football ain’t going to be no good today, since my Dawgs ain’t playing. But I’m sure a bunch of preachers is out there making up the dullest sermons you ever heard and the folks will all be ready to slake their thirst after Sunday morning services.
Have a good day everybody. And that goes even for Sister Dusty and this Captain Freedom. I’m in a good Christian forgiving mood and it don’t matter today what nasty things they have to say about me.

“No true southerner who’s ever lived elsewhere could fail to understand(ing) the yearnings to come back.” (sic)
Classic. I’m using it in my “prove Watson wrong” class.
Bhutto, Stark, and Ellen: The drama playing out in Pakistan and Iraq is a script that should have never made it past the first reading. ACT ONE: The US follows up a Pearl Harbor by underwriting the collateral damage from our impending counterstrike. The enemy is ignored, and infects a neighboring country. Our government acts like the constitution was taken from the last five minutes of “Three Days of the Condor”. What if? What would it take? How many men? If we run out of oil, the American people wont even ask us, they’ll just expect us to take it. (Remember?)
ACT TWO: We aint never gonna git outta Iraq.
Congressman Stark’s gaffe about headless soldiers amusing the president is important because he’s forcing the democrats toward the center where they belong. Bhutto’s important because she’s the default happy ending to the collapse of the military regime in Pakistan. Unfortunately, they filmed two endings in Pakistan. The other ending has rogue elements in the military regime accomodating the islamists to stop Bhutto. This ending is a montage of the last five minutes of Failsafe and Dr. Strangelove.
The AJC ran an amazing page three picture of grieving Pakistanis contorted in wretched lamentation. There is more motion in that still than in a video. Look at it. Those people are alive on the page, in full distress. (I guess they heard about Ellen’s dog, eh?)
The FBI has searched magician David Copperfield’s property for Ellen’s dog, and found the 2 million dollars paid on Ebay for Rush Limbaugh’s Phony Soldier letter. Everything is connected, people.

Gary Bauer (remember him?) says that his far right brethren are one justice away from overturning Roe v. Wade.
And make no mistake about it, under the new claptrap slogan of “strict constructionist judges” the neo-conservative extremists have this as their penultimate goal.
One can only imagine how many other interpretations will send this nation reeling even further backwards.
It would be interesting (and painful) to see what type of gigantic grassroots revolution would happen if they succeeded. It would almost assuredly relegate the Republican Party to their familiar political Land of Nod for the next 50 years.
Perhaps it would be worth it.
Whatever happened to smaller, less intrusive government and personal freedoms within the GOP?
Alas, yet another casualty of this twisted ideology.
Well, as a small business owner, who is not constricted by the M-F, 9-5 routine, I’m off to be a good capitalist and do my part to help pay for the war.

Great article Jim. This latest attempt to portray Thomas as a bitter, angry man is just the leftist smear artists taking the proverbial second bite at the apple in a very public setting.
There have always been the undercurrents of liberal bigotry as they have continuously tried to portray Justice Thomas as a pawn of Justice Scalia or when Harry Reid, of all people, tries to critique Thomas’ legal writings.
Unfortunately the bitter left will never read past the headlines and meet the man or admit their despicable behavior in trying to destroy this good man, but as much as could be written about it nobody could say it better than Justice Thomas himself when he was Justice designate.
I think that this today is a travesty. I think that it is disgusting. I think that this hearing should never occur in America. This is a case in which this sleaze, this dirt was searched for by staffers of members of this committee, was then leaked to the media, and this committee and this body validated it and displayed it at prime time over our entire nation. How would any member on this committee, any person in this room, or any person in this country would like sleaze said about him or her in this fashion? Or this dirt dredged up and this gossip and these lies displayed in this manner, how would any person like it? The Supreme Court is not worth it. No job is worth it. I am not here for that. I am here for my name, my family, my life, and my integrity. I think something is dreadfully wrong with this country when any person, any person in this free country would be subjected to this. This is not a closed room. There was an FBI investigation. This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus. It’s a national disgrace. And from my standpoint, as a black American, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree.

What a load Blowhard (AmVet for those of you that don’t know how often he changes names),
Overturning Roe v. Wade would be a giant step toward smaller less intrusive government and a return to the concept of Federalism. It wouldn’t outlaw abortion at all, although I guess lying by implication is your only hope in this argument.

Amvet - great post. Yes, the worst thing that could happen to the ‘right’ would be the overturn of Roe v. Wade. The second longest nail in their coffin would be the education of our children (perhaps this is why NCLB was so underfunded?). Did you know that the ten states with the lowes SAT scores in 2004 ALL voted for Bush?

Thomas — a bitter man?
I read some left-handed posters here who bought into that description — didn’t cost them a thing to launch those accusations against him. Cheap thrills to put in their two-cents worth?
Justice Thomas recognizes the satisfaction and rewards of hard work. If that’s a bitter pill for others to swallow then so be it.
Theirs is a terminal illness. The liberal Democrats have a pill they can choke on.

Abortion is an evil. Abortion is the criteria match that Islamists use when they call the USA the “Great Satan”.
50 million feti and counting. What is wrong with women? They’re all carnally-endowed, reproductive ignorami condemning us all to an eternity in hell. Remember Eden? Abortion wasn’t in the brochure. All the generations born since WW2 are The Baby Doomers. Nearly all abortions are retroactive birth control. Most unmothers claim that they “saved their lives” with abortion.
Those who try to save their life will lose it. (christ).
We’ve got a lot more to fear than just fear, people. We’ve got ourselves and our place in the world and our ends justifying our means…..so we destroy ourselves to save ourselves?
Abortion has to go. Period. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. It’s Waterworld with no water. Wheatfields with no wheat. Mansions with no landscaping. Just lost souls. The ancient family of man, one hundred billion strong. How’s praying to save yourself working out, Man?

We oppose abortion, but our pro-life agenda does not include punitive action against women who have an abortion. We salute those who provide alternatives to abortion and offer adoption services, and we commend Congressional Republicans for expanding assistance to adopting families and for removing racial barriers to adoption.

When I read the transcript of Thomas’ speech at his hearing, I couldn’t help but think of Pete Stark and his verbal lynching of President Bush.
Justice Thomas wrote:You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S.Senate, rather than hung from a tree.
Stark tried to “lynch” President Bush by saying in effect that the President liked to send our young people to war to get their heads blown off because he enjoyed it.
This is the kind of “lynching” now coming from Democratic Congressman Pete Lynch. There is very little difference in motive or procedure here in both cases. Both were generated by hate. The goal is and was to rid a political party opponent by any means at any cost.
The behavior in both cases is a deplorable display that mars the integrity of American politics and American people.

This article made me puke. It would do that to you if you had sense. The Reeps are so blatant. This good German Wooten is trying to make “happy negro” Thomas all warm and fuzzy now so we won’t see what’s going on when the facists take away our right to privacy. Does Wooten even know that the justice says there IS no right to privacy in this country? And he’s supposed to KNOW about the constitution? Look, Mr. Wooten, everything IN the constitution is about privacy and keeping other people out of your business. Ah but you know about BUSINESS don’t you, Mr. Wooten. And PRIVATE property too, just like the monopolists who born and bred you and Thomas. If any of you ever READ the constitution you’d see that its mostly about the money you love so much. It’s no secret that’s why they put Thomas up on the court and you on the paper. Your not fooling anybody this time, Mr. Wooten!

I believe Anita Hill’s testimony. I believe Clarence Thomas is qualified to be a justice. Justice Thomas is irrelevent in the grand scheme of things. He’s just another person who rose to the top by playing the race card. Hi tech lynching. What the hell does that mean? So what if he teased Ms Hill. I would have tried to crank her too. Doesn’t mean I cant do my job. This is why there have been 50 million abortions since wade/roe: Our third grade level understanding of our own human needs. We should teach children about why the pinkie and the twinkie rule 90 percent of our conciousness. How’s christian-inspired ignorance working out for us? All of our problems boil down to curriculum. All of them. We let self-annointed clerics choose our curriculum. Curriculum has a religious-sounding latin derivation, doesn’t it?
By the way, christianity and islam are equivalent. Christianity was born from Martin Luther. Islam sprang from Mohammed.
Catholicism is different from christianity in that only catholicism has the Eucharist. Thus catholicism is not christianity. Catholicism sprang from Christ.
All other christian denominations comprise what is known as christianity, and it is as good a religion as Islam. The two, both christianity and islam, have true equivalency.

Abortion is just fine and dandy with Jack - take this right to life thing to its limit, and every month a fertile woman should either be pregnant or in the process of getting preggers, otherwise a perfectly good egg is wasted. As for men, well we better get use to finishing the job in a little cup, otherwise billions of potential human beings are being exterminated, a sort of half a person semi genocide far greater than the blessed holy coast. Personally, Jack believes in the greatest money saver in history, the vasectomy, which should be optional for all males at say age 13. No more pesky child support payments! More money for whiskey and cheap women! Oh, Jill, bring that pail back!

Funny how inbred redneKKK turd/Lance Korporal Syphilis LIES like a Klinton. It knows damn well (from previous posts of mine) that I have NOTHING but an unwavering respect for Justice Thomas whom I not only regard as one of the greatest living Americans but the finest black American of my life time!!
Whilst as previously oft stated I don’t quite share the Justice’s views on abortion (although naturally enough I believe that abortion should immediately be made compulsory/retrospective for virtually all liberals). Being an avowedly secular right wing conservative with a world view that embraces a suitably pretty LIMITED “pro-choice” (a horrendously nasty feminazi type word - but its the one that is used) philosophy inevitably puts one at odds with most American conservatives. But being an English Tory - NOT the spineless pandering B.Liar clone wankers running the party now but the glorious centre-right Tebbit/Thatcher wing of the party - and being avowedly secular, a proud Euro-skeptic, moderately ‘pro-choice’ and against the monarchy is clear proof of a willingness to wisely think for oneself.
Obviously the bestiality of so called partial birth abortion/late abortion should be outlawed forever. The now defunct commie USSR use of abortion as the ultimate contraception is also utterly unacceptable. But the sickening laws now in effect in the back ward papist hell hole of El Salvador - where ANY kind of abortion is now illegal - means young girls/women who having had a ‘back street’ abortion come to the Casualty Department (ER) of a hospital for medical help and are then arrested, literally handcuffed to a bed and then jailed for (up to) 30 years or so for exercising what should be a basic freedom is the kind of oppression NO free society should ever goose step toward.
However limiting the slitty eyed commie yellow peril genocidal killers and oppressors of backward Bhuddist Tibet and sick and twisted enablers of the rabidly Stalinist nutters of N Korea to just one oriental brat each, given the already obscene over population of Chi-Com land by what are now undeniably the worlds worst ever polluters and smug sweet and sour pork gobblers is arguably quite reasonable.
Ultimately one’s stance on abortion is just an opinion - however dogmatically informed - as the actual supposed ‘science’ and fanatical assertions made by deranged religious nutters like the cowardly fascist bomber Rudolph and the equally rabid hatchet faced feminazi scum can never be reconciled by clear thinking folks.
IF ONLY most blacks were as visionary, smart - if obviously not quite as ‘lettered’ - wise and clear thinking as Justice Thomas the entrenched odious black racebaiting, black racial spoils, craven white liberal pandering and vote buying and the sullen gimme gimme, I aint NEVER “acting white” attitude sadly and pathetically prevalent amongst so many black losers and grasping bigots would not be the corrosive problem it is today in the criminal black predator hippety hop thug worshipping hoods.

Oh my, oh my, check this out:
{{{{A Marine lieutenant colonel and a lance corporal have been ordered to stand trial on charges stemming from the 2005 killing of 24 civilians in Haditha, Iraq, the Marine Corps announced. Of eight initial defendants in the case, the two are the only ones who have been ordered to court-martial. The case constitutes the largest number of civilian deaths of any alleged abuse case involving Marines in Iraq.-Atlanta Urinal Constitution, Iraq Developments}}}}
So they finally got somebody to face the music for war crimes, right? Isn’t that how this article is written? Well, let’s see what the truth really brings us:
{{{{Two Marines were ordered Friday to face courts-martial for their roles in the killings of Iraqi civilians in Haditha. Lt. Col. Jeffrey R. Chessani faces charges of dereliction of duty and violation of a lawful order for allegedly failing to accurately report and investigate the Nov. 19, 2005, killings of 24 Iraqis.-ABCNews}}}}
Not for murder not for rape not for genocide no, it’s for failing to accurately report.
Now read the Atlanta Journal Constitution article above again and tell me if they still aren’t trying to slander our troops as murderers?
Unbelievable lowlife pieces of sh!t.
~~~~~
Crow is a dish best served, uh, up your as-ses:
{{{{Limbaugh was responding to a caller several weeks ago when he used the phrase “phony soldiers.” He has said he was only referring to one specific soldier who has spoken out against the war while claiming to have seen combat. That soldier was kicked out of the Army in 2003 and sentenced to prison last month for collecting benefits he was not entitled to.-Urinal}}}}
Well, well, the Urinal has to grovel around and admit the truth, what, only a month of spreading lies, that you knew were lies, and here they are on their knees, cause they can’t hide the truth anymore.
Sucks, don’t it?

Don’t you just admire Pelosi’s astute sense of political timing, uh, like none at all. First she gets all of the democrat party dullards, cowards that will only speak with her approval, on record:
{{{{{By Mrs. Godzillduh October 19, 2007 9:06 AM I not only saw Mr. Stark’s words I sent him a congratulatory e-mail!}}}}

{{{{By getduhlife October 19, 2007 4:54 PM Aww, Stark hurt their feelings.Poor little emotional wrecks.}}}}
Then she goes and burns their dumb as-ses:
{{{{House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rebuked a fellow San Francisco Bay area liberal Friday for what she said were inappropriate comments about Iraq during a congressional debate. During a debate on children’s health care Thursday, Rep. Pete Stark accused Republicans of sending troops to Iraq to “get their heads blown off for the president’s amusement.”-Urinal}}}}
So why did it take Blinky a day and a half to issue a statement on something so very obvious?
Did she have to consult the polls first?
Did she realize that only the most slobbering stupid goonies were defending Stark?
Does she need 36 hours to form every thought?
And how about being thrown under the bus, little Stark toadies, it’s almost like the “getting the troops out of Iraq” deal all over again, ain’t it?
Duh.
~~~~~
{{{{The same cannot be said of the political and media classes. Many, including Members of Congress, were looking for another moral bonfire to discredit the cause in Iraq, and they found a pretext in Haditha. The critics rushed to judgment; facts and evidence were discarded to fit the antiwar template. Most despicably, they created and stoked a political atmosphere that exposes American soldiers in the line of duty, risking and often losing their lives, to criminal liability for the chaos of war. This is the deepest shame of Haditha, and the one for which apologies ought to be made.}}}}
They’re talking to you Filthy Mouth.
POS.

Rush also was the one who initiated a code for the Vietnam War for our soldiers to use when the VC was around so’s they couldn’t understand what we was saying. Like, say some VC took over a truck convoy and made americans drive the trucks. When they’d get to a checkpoint, the driver would say, “arliechays in the rucktay”. (Charlie’s in the truck), and the checkpoint troops would mow the VC down like ducks.

You know, as I ponder Valerie Plame and how beautiful she is, and how smart and brave and the great service she gave to this country to keep Iran from acquiring nukes till Cheney exposed her as a spy which is like so illegal, man, anyway, as I think about her and her level of sophistication and class and then I think of Justice Thomas, who would show Valerie Plame his own pube on a can of pepsi and ask her how she thought it got there, (so would I, I’m not saying I’m any less horny than the good justice), it really makes me mad because Valeria Plame is a true patriot, and she deserves better.
I think we need to prosecute those we know are guilty of treason in the Plame affair. (affair? my nipples are getting hard). See? All that the Anita Hill testimony proves is that Justice Thomas aint gay.

Peter,
This sounds like I’m from San Francisco, but what the hell: the way I look at it, we’re all Justice Thomas’s people, while Mr. Thomas is wearing his robes or, as in other days, his public-service hat. Probably he’s always taken his important jobs quite seriously (who wouldn’t) and so takes the same attitude — that doing something for “his people” means Americans. In that context I can’t really see what he should be doing for the black American subculture. (I resist the word “community”. Another story.) I mean, we could go into his crucial civil rights record, but preferably not with the assumption going in that what he does he does, or should do, he does for “his [black] people”. Everything he’s done for civil rights, e.g. equal employment opportunity or opposing racial remedies he considers counterproductive — is as I see it something he does for the commonweal.
I don’t even think Thomas should be considered a black role model, but rather as a role model (who is certainly black). I’d really like for young Americans to take their “role models” (pref. “heroes”) wherever they find them, and to learn the indispensable point that they come in a potpouri of shades, ideologies and provenance that do not need to resemble your own. Some of these candidates might might even have died centuries ago. I’m with the autobiographer and social critic Richard Rodriguez on this point. It delights me that Mr. Rodriguez, once a self-loathing gay man, experienced a kind of catharsis upon discovering, in spite of his teachers, that some of his favorite authors had been gay. I readily empathize with Rodriguez, as my own youth was tinged with the painful loneliness of being a religous person among anti-religious bigots. How wonderful, the release I felt upon discovering that my educators (and their educators) had been keen to conceal the knowledge that e.g. Plato & Tolstoy & Pascal & Dostoevsky & Muir & Schweitzer & Bach & Kierkegaard & McLuhan not only were religious like me, but even saw their art & science as religious projects! It also delights me that Rodriquez consciously takes inspiration from writers and others quite unlike himself. What’s more, he even mines his heroes, taking what he wants from them and discarding the rest; as it were, Wagner’s music but not Wagner’s anti-Semitism.
So Rodriguez is, to me, a model of one’s right relationship to one’s heroes. Rodriguez and I have much in common. So what? We’re also very different. So what? I like his perceptiveness, his self-honesty, his strong refusal to let anybody pigeonhole him or hand him a social script. Justice Thomas I admire for his guts, his tenacity, his quaint manners and his very clear thinking and exposition.
Is Thomas one of my heroes? Not really. Is Rodriguez? No. I’d swap both their trading cards for one Shirley Chisholm, say. And I’d give all three, if I had ‘em, for a Tennessee Williams or a J. M. Browning in mint condition, and both their cards for a rare Simone Weil or a Jose Vasconcelos, etc. I’m not dropping these names for the sake of half-baked intellectual vanity, but rather to illustrate that what matters is the genius of the individual, not necessarily the individual’s membership in a group, and certainly not (in these cases) the individual’s flaws. The genius of Vasconcelos had everything to do with his nationality and race; Weil’s nationality was mere happenstance. And while Williams’s homosexuality was part of his gift; Browning’s heterosexuality was irrelevant (unless one attempts to fly a Freudian without the proper instrument rating). I greatly admire Chisholm, but not for the ostensible reasons. I don’t have her politics, but still she’s an abiding inspiration. I happen to share Thomas’s politics, but he’s not a hero of mine; and to the extent that I admire him, I admire him for reasons other than, though owing to, his ideology. Mohandas Ghandi was a cunning and dangerous idealist, but I’d have given my left testicle to have been with him.
So that, at long last, is my point. I’m totally sick of the pigeonholing and of what I’d like to call last year’s taxonomies. Pretty soon they won’t work anymore. They’re already breaking down. Who gets bragging rights over Tiger Woods? Which bathroom to use? Take your daughter to work day!
“Are you the Judaean People’s Front?”
“F*k no, we’re the *People’s Front of Judea!”
Is this not Black History Month?
No, this is the month that’s not Indigenous People’s Month!
Observing American discourse and folkways today is like watching an old movie that’s beautifully made but ruined by a corny and dated soundtrack. We need a new soundtrack, a new taxonomy, a new political vocabulary. The Left should take it up, starting with the word Left. The Right also, though they’re not as witty.

IMHO, Roy Barnes is the idiot former governor of Georgia who gave a sweetheart deal to an out of state law firm to help Georgia defraud the federal government out of hundreds of millions of dollars in Medicaid payments - Roys out of state pal pocketed a hundred million tax dollars in exchange for telling Georgia how to recycle medicaid money as the state match. When the slow witted feds finally caught on to this scheme, a scheme many other states had been using for years, and Georgia could have adopted for free, much of that federal money had to be paid back. Of course, the Georgia congressional WHO-RES got the idiot feds to forgive most of that money. But Roys pal still walked away with a hundred million medicaid dollars. I wonder if the crooked former governor will get a share of the stolen Medicaid money, imho? IMHO, like all lawyers, Roy is a crook!

Some of the replies to my assertion are clearly passionate, but they are measured and adult in nature. These other bloggers I refer to, though certainly also passionate in their beliefs, are childish and anger-filled in their responses.

If the Kyoto Accords were ever implemented, and they never will be, the net impact on greenhouse gases—99.72 percent of them natural in origin—would be imperceptible, but the devastation to Third World economies and life expectancies would rival that caused by Borlaug’s seed strains.}}}}

“Mr. Stewart told The Courier-Journal he explained all that to his boss on Thursday. So Sen. McConnell was deliberately untruthful the next day, when he told WHAS-TV’s Mark Hebert, “There was no involvement whatsoever.” The senator will object to any suggestion of lying, but what else is it when you knowingly misrepresent facts?
It’s clear what Mitch McConnell knew and when he knew it. It’s clear he deceived the public when he answered Mr. Hebert as he did about the e-mail sent by his press agent.
Mr. McConnell is so used to Washington-style gamesmanship and inside-the-beltway rules that he has forgotten what constituents back in Kentucky want: the simple truth.”

Glenn, MUCH great stuff in your 3:04!
The numerous points that you make so well in that post, probably mean zero to those with very low intellectual curiosity here though.
And though it may well be lost on the comically challenged here, I love any references to the greatest British comedy troupe in history - Monty Python.
Also, noted was your comment about a lack of wit. I have asserted for a long time that the right should NEVER do comedy.
Look at that spectacularly unfunny Dennis Miller and that inane Half Hour News Hour on Fox for proof! It is hands down the very worst schtick ever recorded IMHO.
But for me, the fact that those I alluded to earlier are not witty is irrelevant. But it is when they pretend to fail to comprehend standard written English.
This a favorite ploy of theirs, whereby in this case, the topic proffered by our esteemed columnist is Clarence Thomas being villainized by the left, and my reply is that it is no secret that the neo-conservatives wish for but one more of their own, so as to criminalize abortion in this country, at least at the federal level. And the ramifications thereof.
And those with this lack of basic comprehension skills predictably reply with nonsense like that first 4:24.

As the nation continues to endure this horrifically mismanaged clusterf@ck of an invasion, some in the free falling, imploding GOP have little else going for them, so they desperately grasp onto issues like this Stark comment.
I heard his comments and thought, “Is this over the top?” I say yes. Was it outrageous? Probably.
But keep it in perspective. Politics is a very dirty business at times and the Republicans, since Newt Gingrich have amped up the diatribes, rhetoric and outright smear campaigns to new unforeseen levels.
The Dems have in many cases responded in kind.
But when you are referring to arguably the worst Presidency in American and most incompetent administration in history it is hard to be anything but PO’d.

Second, you’re right, I haven’t been to Iraq, and have no plans to go. My wife went, though, and damned near got killed when her helicopter was exposed to enemy fire en route from Bagdad. Back safe & relatively sound, though. Betcha wish she’d been killed, so I could usurp her place of honor and go out to Crawford and make an a* of myself repudiating everything she stands for. My wife and I, jointly and severally, have done more to help the baby-killers than a fairweather patriot like you could ever possibly imagine. But you’re right: I’ve never worn the uniform, and I have no right to an opinion regarding the U.S. footing in Iraq.

And here we have it, the first step back in the recovery of American greatness, the removal from office of an inept, worthless, mealy mouthed liberal and her replacement with staunch Conservative, a majority population of democrats fed up with the misery wrought on them by the pinkos:
{{{{Republican Congressman Bobby Jindal won the Louisiana governor’s race Saturday-Urinal}}}}
Get used to it.

Quote of the day, of course it’s from a Republican:
{{{{“We’ve learned from this what a blunt weapon the Endangered Species Act has become,” said U.S. Rep. John Linder, a Gwinnett County Republican. “We need to understand this lake [Lanier] was created not for mussels but for people.”-Urinal}}}}
Misguided and stupid foolishness, no telling the harm it has done to millions of people, whole industries out of work (and now without health insurance,) all because of some worthless freaking shellfish.
Can anyone tell me how a mollusk benefits the poor?

{{{{OUR OPINION: GOP will suffer if children lose health coverage, Queen Pinko, Urinal}}}}
You would think that an editorial Grand Poohba of a major metropolitan “news” paper would be able to research a subject that she writes about, I guess that isn’t a necessary qualification at the Pinko Times, and would discover the fact that the Republicans would also expand the S-Chip program, but not by the gaudy amount of 35 billion like the libs want.
No one is going to lose any coverage, no matter which way it ends up.
Why would the lib decide to exclude this information?

Go to Church this morning Sinthia, observe the “ultraconservatives” (what a silly, immature label) give to poor children of their own free will.
It’s only because of the democrats that we have to pass laws to force people to part with their money.
Or to keep them from stealing it:
{{{{In an interview with the Sun on August 1, Mr. Franken said he did not know anything about the transfers from the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club (for Air America) until late the previous month. He said he did not know whether the $875,000 was absorbed by the radio network or not, and he characterized the network’s decision to pay back Gloria Wise as a “moral obligation.”}}}}
{{{{As a result, for the 6-month audit period from January 1 through June 30, 2005, we estimated that the State agency made 4,217,888 payments totaling $230,375,748 (Federal share) on behalf of ineligible beneficiaries. We also estimated that case file documentation did not adequately support eligibility determinations for an additional 15,289,843 payments totaling $2,820,569,979 (Federal share). We did not recommend recovery primarily because, under Federal laws and regulations, a disallowance of Federal payments for Medicaid eligibility errors can occur only if the errors are detected through a State’s Medicaid eligibility quality control program.}}}}
Who is it that “hates the children?”
~~~~~~
{{{{But here’s the point: The Frosts are not emblematic of the health care needs of America so much as they are of the delusion of the broader Western world.

Nice job, last week or so, using horSeCHIP to show up the schoolyard political pranks that touch the tender hearts of wannabe child-savers and other Dem dupes!
I still think horSeCHIP should be chucked, though. The GOP will pay the political cost of backing off their proposed augmentation of the program, but it’s the honest thing to do, since right now the taxpayers are footing the actual bill for a DOA health program. It’s dishonest of the House Republicans to temporize when CBO and the third-party evaluators showed, long before this became a horSeCHIP-throwing contest, that the program was terminal.
Instead of going halfway to Pelosi, they should have girded themselves with the truth and stood their ground.

From this month’s notorious junk science magazine, National Geographic, which has, as everyone knows, a long standing, consistent history of being wrong on scientific matters.
The scientific evidence is clear. Surface temperatures on earth are warming at a pace that signals a decisive shift in the global climate, one expected to last for centuries. Previous epochal changes of climate, such as the ice age that ended 11,500 years ago, were set in motion by natural causes - variations ion the earth’s orbit that affect the amount of sunlight warming the planet. In those cases, the cycles of cooling and warming unfolded slowly, over the course of millennia.
THIS EPISODE IS DIFFERENT.
Climate is changing more rapidly than eve before.
* Human activity is the main cause.*
Burning of fossil fuels - oil, gas and coal - has flooded the atmosphere with heat-trapping carbon dioxide, triggering a 1 degree Fahrenheit spike in average global temperature in the past century, largely in the past 30 years.
Here’s a rhetorical question for everyone. Where are the neo-con National Geographics? And why do these infamous distrusters of all things science fail to see that in almost every single case where a reputable, extremely credible organization is concerned, the conclusions are pretty much the same?
And the fact that there is this scientific consensus is irrefutable.
Find yet another issue to be wrong on, extremists.

That was charming, t,thankyou 4 providing the death threats and prison slang portion of the show. Now, we’ll hear from our sponsors and up next, it’s “Fun with the Sunday Vent”. Dont go away.
Hello, everyone. It’s time for another Bee Movie junior……(camera to seinfeld wearing full honey harvestor protective gear)…”Hi! Even though it looks like I’m in mortal danger of being stung to death by these killer bees, I’m actually safer than you are at home because I have this smoke gadget that instantly calms the bees down. Let me just push this button….OMG! someone forgot to load this thing, it’s empty….the bees will eventually work their way through this protective gear…I’m doomed…help….(camera to body on ground covered with bees so that not one inch of the poor sod shows through)
Welcome back. And now, it’s fun with the sunday vent! Lets see, one venter writes, “We shouldn’t worry about our carbon footprint, how about our water footprint?” Yes, atlanta’s water footprint would be that fat kid in the fifth grade who always did a cannonball off the board, remember? He couldn’t help himself, no matter what, he’s have to do a cannonball. all summer. it got old fast, but never mind, if he was anywhere near the pool, you would know that sooner or later, a cannonball would splash everyone within fifty yards of the pool.
tune in next week for “fun with the sunday vent”

Early in the Precambrian, Earth received less heat from the sun, which is thought to have been 25 to 30 percent less luminous than it is today.
But high temperatures were maintained by an atmosphere extremely rich in greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide (CO2).
“If the temperature trend is correct, it appears that the early Earth almost went into a runaway greenhouse [effect], like Venus,” Knauth said.
Quick quiz. Off the top of your head what was the best selling SUV 4.5 billion years ago?

i agree w/ justice thomas that blacks that think for themselves and make their way past the glass ceiling are unfairly targeted by the Establishment…however, it’s very hard to overlook his opposition to affirmative action.
this guy benefitted from the policy personally and now he wants to do away w/ it so that other deserving blacks won’t get an oppotunity…i know people want to believe that black folks can make it if they pull themselves up by their boot straps and work for what they want…unfortunately, many blacks simply never get an opportunity due to issues like inferior quality of education in predominantly black neighborhoods and having to live in crime and drug infested neighborhoods.
until the undermining of black achievement is done away with, affirmative action is often the only way for many blacks to get an opportunity in this unbalanced, integrated society.

I cannot fully express in words the fear that I feel after receiving so many unveiled threats of violence and death from tftt. I warned Wooten about this, and indicated to the AJC that a lawsuit is pending and imminent. For a while, it appeared that wooten had corralled this fiend, but I guess that was just wishful thinking on my part. We are at war with terrorists who threaten to kill americans everyday all day. The fear I felt on 911 is still with me, and when I read death threats from tftt, during this time of war, the fear is renewed, and I experience horrible episodes of 911 flashback and consternation and depression. I can only report it to the Homeland security, and initiate legal action against the host, AJC.
I have a family, and I am very afraid of some unstable blogger like tftt, who appears to be very adept with computer hacking, actually stalking me in person, and committing acts of terrorism. I have no choice but to take legal action, and urge the criminal courts to prosecute. You simply cant threaten to kill americans during a time of war. It’s just not acceptable on any level. I think it’s treason, but I’m not a lawyer.
I am very afraid, and I have been forced to live with this fear, which keeps me awake at night, for months and months and months because of this terrorist who attacks me on this blog every single day. I dont know who he thinks he is, but there is no reason for it, and I am not forced to take the legal remedies afforded all americans.

Case in point: This year’s United Nations report on climate change and other documents say that 20% to 30% of plant and animal species will be threatened with extinction in this century due to global warming—a truly terrifying thought. Yet, during the past 2.5 million years, a period that scientists now know experienced climatic changes as rapid and as warm as modern climatological models suggest will happen to us, almost none of the millions of species on Earth went extinct. The exceptions were about 20 species of large mammals (the famous megafauna of the last ice age—saber-tooth tigers, hairy mammoths and the like), which went extinct about 10,000 to 5,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, and many dominant trees and shrubs of northwestern Europe. But elsewhere, including North America, few plant species went extinct, and few mammals.
I’m not a naysayer. I’m a scientist who believes in the scientific method and in what facts tell us. I have worked for 40 years to try to improve our environment and improve human life as well. I believe we can do this only from a basis in reality, and that is not what I see happening now. Instead, like fashions that took hold in the past and are eloquently analyzed in the classic 19th century book “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds,” the popular imagination today appears to have been captured by beliefs that have little scientific basis.
That bolded book title could also be subtitled, “Understanding the Modern American Moonbat.”

RW @ 12:18, that is so dead on point that I almost can’t believe your throwing pearls before these particular swine. Also, the other day I wasn’t exactly kidding about Gore and Munchausen Syndrome.
Presumably you’ve noticed that James Watson, once a serious scientist, in recent years has been trying to revive interest in alchemy, in the specific form of social biology. It seems that the ignis fatuus of Nobel fame got to his head, and set the demons to dancing. He seems unaware that the second (next to the G-nome Proj.) most important product of his early work is a global effort that culminated in the publication of “The History and Geography of Human Genes”, which effort employed his actual, early science to preclude any possibility of taking his recent, pseudoscientific racism seriously. So, another great Darwinian and Nobelist is soiling his diapers. Were I to try to mock Mr. Gore — which, in view of his mental illness, I must not do — I’d liken the great Tennessee autodidact to the late-model Watson.

you know, when I think of 911, I realize that I cant get my mind around the two towers filled with people, it’s just too much, I cant comprehend the death of that many people in an instant. I’m not big enough. But the people on the planes, who became part of the flying bombs that the islamists turned our civilian airlines into, that I can understand, and that makes me angry and vengeful. I have to fight off hatred for arabs and islamics everyday, all day. I dont always succeed. I know that it’s only radical islamists, not islamics or all arabs, but when I think of those innocent americans who only wanted to go home that day, but instead were turned into cannon fodder by islamist lunatics, I just lose, and I lose it everyday. it’s a constant struggle not to hate. I wont allow myself that luxury, and I expect all americans to hold themselves to that standard. So I dont make threats. I dont blog hate or conspire with wooten’s gang to kill or maim others on the blog who disagree with my 911 rememedy or my ideas of how to gain peace in the world. So when I read terroristic threats against me by elements of wooten’s gang of rightists, I have to take them seriously, I am forced to be alerted to the possibility that this war on terror is right here in my pc, and the enemy only a click away. It’s war. You may not make death threats of any kind against other americans. If you want to threaten someone, threaten Osama bin Laden. WHo threatens us with death everyday. Why join him? Be against him. Americans are all in this together. We are all soldiers against terror. Well, that’s how I feel about terrorism. I take it very seriously. Very Seriously. I have discussed this with some very talented legal minds and the questions about liability are very complex and detailed.

Sphincter, what, at long last, is your “911 remedy”? And what are your “ideas of how to gain peace in the world”? A smartaSS liberal I know of thinks the trick is to improve our lives through snide mimicry, like a shrill parrot that’s been taught to say “parrot”!
Another one says the solution lies in _ debate [Columbia stylebook sez you’re to insert the word “robust”], which consists of putting words in others’ mouths and then mocking those words.
At this point I’m inclined to agree with a third liberal acquaintance who feels strongly that it’s time to shock people with the truth of things, to call a spade a spade, beginning with Justice “Uncle Tom” and proceeding to the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures; Jesus and Him crucified; any “delusional” adherent of any of the above; all men and women in the uniform of the United States (or, simply, the “baby killers”) and family and friends of same (“chickenhawks”); erudition; ignorance; upbringing…

We were graced this morning in my place of worship with the presence of a Marine on leave from Iraq, and we expressed our gratitude accordingly. It was such a small measure, considering how bravely that soldier is fighting for his belief that *ALL people should live free, and having to not only fight the scumbag terrorists but also the democrats in Congress.

Wootenduh, and may I ask in turn, which one’s yours? I can understand if you don’t want to answer, in view of the desecration of the Eucharist in SF last Sunday. Unbelievable. Even my rabbi friend in Seattle is so alarmed he’s planning to disseminate his own defense of Catholicism. It’s come to that. I used to know the first troupe of Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and their co-founder Tom Ammiano. We all put up with them because they were funny and camp civil rights activists (very San Francisco) and were energetic about spreading the word on AIDS when most people were in the dark. A couple of them were also hardcore political activists, but not when they wore the habit. So they’ve taken all the comity and goodwill from over the years and used it to attack the heart of the ancient Christian liturgy. I’m having a hard time distinguishing this from the firebombing, eight years ago, of a synagogue library in my old neighborhood. The work of two skinheads (Apparently, that’s us.) You know how olfactory memory can be? I can still smell the acrid stink of the ashes of the priceless ancient Torah donated by that great capitalist running dog Russ Solomon, founder of the erstwhile Tower empire.
So if you don’t want to name your own house of worship, I certainly understand. But tell me, how’s the Marine, what’s his first (Xian) name and what’re his plans?
We’ve set out quite a spread at our home in expectation of company. Lady of the house is starting to smart over the snubbing of our Southern hospitality.

Making all intelligence information public so as to prosecute a detainee makes us and our operatives sitting ducks. Our goal is attack prevention not law enforcement.

{{{{A recent article in the well-respected journal American Scientist explained why the glacier on Mt. Kilimanjaro could not be melting from global warming. Simply from an intellectual point of view it was fascinating—especially the author’s Sherlock Holmes approach to figuring out what was causing the glacier to melt. That it couldn’t be global warming directly (i.e., the result of air around the glacier warming) was made clear by the fact that the air temperature at the altitude of the glacier is below freezing. This means that only direct radiant heat from sunlight could be warming and melting the glacier. The author also studied the shape of the glacier and deduced that its melting pattern was consistent with radiant heat but not air temperature. Although acknowledged by many scientists, the paper is scorned by the true believers in global warming.}}}}

No one can win a statewide race in Nevada on a platform that appears anti-military, anti-family, anti-marriage, anti-religion, anti-free speech, pro-illegal immigration, pro-abortion, and pro-taxation. While Harry isn’t all of that personally, he clearly projects elements of them all when he’s doing the bidding of his party on the national stage.}}}}
{{{{(It also doesn’t help Harry’s numbers when he foolishly attacks Rush Limbaugh, only to have the conservative radio talk show host lash back in a brutally effective rebuttal for the entire nation to hear.)}}}}
{{{{Tom Daschle knows what I’m talking about. He was Harry’s predecessor in the Senate. He, like Reid does now, carried the liberal banner of his national party and slowly but surely his support eroded in his conservative home state of South Dakota. Then one day he woke up with big negatives and the next day he was unelected.}}}}

The dems left duh.
In his speech, he promised he would make mistakes, learn from them and change course.
A little dig at w but he will get fed money easier than a dem like Blanco. He helped get oil revenue for the State and that is why he won. They have billions from oil now.

Why does spaghetti taste even better on the fifth day after you first make it?
Cowboys are good, but they’re no patriots or colts. Brady and Manning are a couple of Joe Montana’s.

Can you imagine if Bush had been caught doing this?:
{{{{Now comes the revelation that Mrs. Clinton and several other Democrats, including presidential candidates John Edwards and Joe Biden, accepted contributions from trial lawyers implicated in a sleazy kickback scheme.}}}}
{{{{Prosecutors called it a ”racketeering enterprise,” and alleged that Milberg Weiss paid people kickbacks to act as plaintiffs in 250 cases. The law firm has denied all charges, but at least three former partners have pleaded guilty to conspiracy.}}}}
{{{{It also becomes extremely hard to position yourself credibly on the side of ethical reform, and to attack your GOP opponents for fostering a ”culture of corruption” in Washington, D.C.}}}}
Geez.

Wootenduh,
Yep, Nevada race is GOP’s to lose. Harry’s fifth-rate enough on his own, but he’s also dragged down by assn. with Pelosi, who’s way out of her depth and should be demoted by her party caucus forthwith and replaced by someone more major league, such as Harmon. (Wouldn’t even have to go outside Pelosi’s home-state caucus and upset the regional spoils.) This Speakership, historic though it may be, is becoming tragic. Harry’ll suffer.
getalife, I’ll grant you one count in your indictment: GOP is indeed pro corporate “welfare”.

The Gubernatorial Goober has issued another water saving decree: “No fraternity party revelers can fill their water balloons more than half full, or the fraternity is automatically put on double secret probation.”
Now it’s serious, folks. If I didn’t believe there was a drought before, I certainly do now. Toga…. Toga…. Toga….

I finished My Grandfather’s Son over the weekend and it reaffirmed with I’ve always thought about Mr. Thomas. What an amazing man who has lived an incredible life. This book should be on the reading lists of schools from coast to coast.
