• First off people, I have got a question on youthink.com, go here to vote on it

  Faithful readers my remember this from a post I made a few weeks ago.

  Well, Bush made his pick for the Supreme Court today. I have to be
  honest, I know……..well, nothing about his nominee, just what I have
  heard on CNN in the last hour or so. From what they are saying, we
  liberals have a good reason to be worried. For starters, he is only 50
  years old, which means that he can potentially serve a very long time.
  A very long time. Like, 30 years or more. The most important issue to
  me, obviously is gay rights, but I would be selfish if I thought that
  was the country’s most important issue. The most important issue is,
  without a doubt, abortion. Now, honestly, I don’t think it will be
  overturned, but you never know. I can almost guarantee that Willam
  Rhenquist will not survive Bush’s term, which means he will nominate
  another justice. With 2 more conservatives on in the high court, that
  makes abortion being overturned more likely. As for the issue myself, I
  flip-flop on it. Both sides have very good points. The bottom line,
  though, is that even if abortion is illegal, people will still have
  them, and they will do it illegally, so that means they can do serious
  harm to themselves. Overturning Roe Vs Wade makes no sense because of
  that one reason. Its like alcohol. When we made that illegal, it didn’t
  even come close to working. As for gay rights, with 2 more
  conservatives on the bench, it gives us almost zero chance of being
  able to marry anytime soon. I don’t see them taking away any rights we
  already have, but you never know. Basically, this decision Bush made
  today might very well affect many people’s lives for years and years to
  come. This was one of Bush’s biggest decisions and another reason for
  me not to like him…………..not that I was ever coming close to
  running out of reasons not to like him.

  Someday, I want to write a book and call it “50 Different Ways to Flush a Toilet.”.

  You know those Aflac commecials where they say “Ask at work about
  Aflac.” Well, I asked at work today. I think a big problem with the
  commercial is that it doesn’t specify who to ask. I walked right up to
  the janitor and said “Hi. I’m supposed to ask about Aflac.” He looked
  at me like I was speaking another language, which, I guess to him I
  was, because he speaks Spanish.

  All praise to Holy Christ (you guys praise to him, I will just praise
  to……..the guy that comes to fix it, since he is the one that is
  actually fixing it, instead of the afore-mentioned Christ) that Sears
  is coming out to fix the AC tomorrow!!! WOOOOOOHOOOO!!!

  I’m upset because I found out that our local Bob Evans closed! We used
  to always go there for Christmas Eve breakfast every year, and now we
  have to find a new place. They had the best sausage and biscuits and
  gravy around. I think we will just start going to Cracker Barrel from
  now on.

  I chatted with Ty (or is it Tyler?) from Xanga the other night. Seems
  like a cool guy, too bad his is a few hours away, and thats by plane,
  which I hate to use. He is only the second person from Xanga that I
  have ever chatted with, so if anybody else ever wants to chat, feel
  free to “hit me up” as the kids say.
