Stopped Clock Ticks Tocks

I criticize our president here on the blog incessantly and pretty unforgivingly, frankly because I think he's only an average mediocrity. And this nation deserves top notch mediocrities in our highest office.

One of the things a president is instructed to do by the constitution is name folks to the highest court in the land. Believe me, if I could find some way around this rule and get a real talent, like the Slurpie manager down at the 7/11 to do this, I would clap my hands, point a finger, and order him to do it. But the duty is George Bush's and he has chosen John Roberts (not of CBS news) to ascend to the Supreme Court.

The liberals should give the Pres a pass on this one. Roberts, although distinctly conservative (according to my car radio) does not apparently breathe fire and chop off the heads of hippies (both which are illegal...except the fire part if you do it at home, only for barbecues). The left should get take what it can live with, and be thankful Bush didn't send Cheney and Rice to dig up Bob Bork and sex him up with a new 21st century look, and twirl him around for another go in front of the judges.

John Roberts will be acceptable to the rightwingers. He's anti-abortion (but he has that trick philosophy that will allow him to live with it...if not "Roe" itself) and other than that he could swing with Castro and the right will allow him.

We libertarians will continue to stuff our money into the mattress...
