I usually hate to bring up politics on this blog, but now that Rehnquist is dead and the Republicans are going to sneak Roberts onto the Court amid the distraction of their callous disregard for the devastation in New Orleans, I feel I have to. What this ultimately means is that Bush, the same President that brought you the first attack on the continental United States since the Revolutionary war, never finding those responsible for 9/11, a war in Iraq based on tenuous at best justification, and soaring gas prices, gets to appoint another young, white, Christian, male justice to the Supreme Court to help implement the Neo-Conservative Final Solution. We'll probably be back to slavery in the next 30 years if these Justices keep leaving or dying on Bush's watch. Here's to going backwards! Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't call myself a Democrat either. In fact, I think the two party system has completely undermined the idea of democracy by placing votes for sale to special interests and lobbyists, but the 'Crats are clearly the lesser of two evils here. At least the old school Republicans were fiscally responsible.
Here's my theory: There are only two types of people who voted for Bush:
1) You are a Bible-thumping idiot who hates blacks, gays, and any other minority even though you probably have a gay son or daughter.
2) You are rich and like the sound of tax cuts.
I don't care what anyone says, there are no other reasons to vote for him. If you did, you fall into one of those categories, even if you won't admit it.
What do you think will happen first: Bush will find Bin Laden (or the WMDs in Iraq) or OJ will find the "real killers"? Seriously. Its like one of those Chicken or the Egg enigmas (even though the egg clearly came first -- think dinosaurs).
