A real “death panel”

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has just written that “mere innocence” is no reason to stop the execution of a man convicted of murder. Really. Here’s the post in “Think Progress”.
I feel quite sure that X-Gov. Palin is going to ride this one into the sunset and tear the old boy a new … what’s that? Oh, nevermind. Conservatives are allowed such things, I guess. Makes me queasy, but I’m just a stupid old librul.

Quote for today

I do not speak of what is ended, chide what is settled or find fault with what is past.

MISSED CONNECTION

Are you the woman in the blue Denali with paper tags I followed out of Buy for Less on NW Hiway today about 1:30 p.m.? Blonde? I missed getting a chance to speak to you. I was the guy behind you all the way out to where your vehicle was parked next to my Mid-life Chrysler convertible.

I have a few things I’d like to say to you:

1. Get off the fucking cell phone if you can’t push your grocery cart in a straight enough line for me to get past you.

2. If your fat ass spills over both sides of the driver’s seat in a Denali, it’s a hint that you should back away from the potato chips and frozen pies you loaded into the back of your new gas guzzler.

3. Get off the fucking cell phone when you are driving, especially if you are straddling both fucking lanes of the exit and trying to turn left onto a busy street, you inconsiderate bitch.

4. Please contact me so that I can put out a contract hit on you in order to make the whole world a better place without your stupid, ugly, fat, loud, controlling presence.

5. Quit talking that way to your daughter and get some damn sense. Telling a high school girl she’s a bitch and will never get married because she doesn’t know the whole list of items she needs for school supplies is not right. In addition to being an all around horrible person, you are a lousy parent.

From Talking Points Memo:

GOP Congressman Attacks Obama For “Enemies List,” And Birth Certificate
Rep. John Sullivan (R-OK) told a Tulsa Republican Club event (Blogblah note: according to a Tulsa World Story) that this is a “scary time” in Washington. “It’s a very frightening time. I see Barack Obama is creating an enemies list of people who oppose this miserable health care plan. I think that’s frightening,” said Sullivan. “That’s from a guy that can’t even show a long-form birth certificate. I think we all ought to be prepared to fight that.”

CORRECTION: I must have been agog when I misidentified the demon Magog in the prior post

OMG, it must be the full moon. I’m wandering around the internet and come up with this little nugget. Former French President Jacque Chirac says that President George W. Bush told him in 2003 that it was necessary to invade Iraq to foil the demons Gog and Agog. What? This notion staggers me, but here’s the story and the references.

My sister and fellow blogger, MindOverMary, is in town with her friend, Robin, of whom Mary sometimes writes. Sis went to dinner with Mom before joining me for the Wednesday movie (“Closer” with Jude Law, Clive Owen, Julia Roberts and Natalee Portman, directed by Mike Nichols). We missed Oz, who’s vacationing in the islands that may or may not be the natural born birthplace of our president. Gah! Oklahoma goes national once again for attaining extremes in political asshattery. Thanks, Sen. Inhofe for making us all look bad.
