A Few Stray Thoughts

2009 April 17

First, I have to admit  that despite going through college  and law school, my failure to be a frat boy deprived me of the experience of “teabagging” ,that so many press types seem intimately familiar with. Now that the reference has been explained, I think it speaks volumes of those using it. Me thinks, that not only are they intimately familiar with “teabagging” , they enjoyed it a bit too much. If this is the best those opposed to the tea parties can do, the tea partiers must be on to something.

Second, the Washington liberals who were so in favor of the minority voicing their opinions via protests, sure changed their tune in a hurry.

Third, I read this afternoon that the Alabama Supreme Court has stayed, the lower court order that the Governor’s Gambling Task Force had to return the seized “bingo” machines and cash to White Hall. Couple this with the Governor v AG fight on who can enforce the laws and this bingo mess gets as good as a soap opera.

Finally, I read that the Obama Administration is telling GM that it had better prepare for bankruptcy. Is this not what Richard Shelby said months and billions of dollars ago? When Shelby said it, he got bashed from every side. I wonder when those bashers are going to let loose at President Obama.

For those who wonder, I am neither Republican nor particularly conservative but I am plagued by this inconvenient notion of fairness and fair is fair.

    Mangling Clausewitz, politics is war by another means.  Though I wonder at times where all the adults have gone.

    OP

    I learned what teabagging was from my 17 year old!  I tend to agree with you on this.  Also on the GM thing and Gov vs: AG…however, I still like my .223 hog gun!!  ;-)

    Therm - we will agree to disagree in the most courteous manner on the hog gun.
