Well, I tried. A bit of a LST/Wordpress problem, I’m afraid. If someone has a clue, let me know, I think that the post size is just too large. Here are a couple of highlights from the past week, but there were many very good comments given the national topics of immigration reform and the recent conservative Supreme Court rulings.

Alzheimer’s is probably genetic too. They are getting close to a vaccine that halts its progression. Should we be searching for a vaccine to cure homosexuality? If not, why not?

We removed morals, remember, those pesky things that no matter how you may be tempted, remind you to NOT cross the line. Also, we removed all shame. It takes shame to keep us in line, once shame is gone, wheeeeeeeeee. We decided our children should be raised by television and child care providers. We women took jobs to be able to have that second car, computer, save for kids education, vacation to disney. We were told me must do this to be fullfilled women. As we see society crumble, it seems to me, we were all sold a bill of goods.

Somehow, I cannot seem to get across the very real concrete fact that judges are appointed for life, period. Ginzburg has been chronically sick, Stevens is 87 and not well and Souter has been making noises about retiring for a while. No matter how it happened, we got two damned good justices out of George Bush even if we had to beat him like a rented mule. These are not elected officials we can go to the ballot for and we cannot un-elect them. We also don’t get to control the simple twists of fate that bring about the opportunities to replace them. If you are willing to sacrifice the ability to control these seats, fine; I am not.

I wuz there! Great game. Biggio isn’t a Hall of Famer? 3002 hits as of tonight. Every eligible player over 3000 is in the Hall of Fame. He’s ranked 6th in career doubles with 658 behind Tris Speaker, Pete Rose, Stan Musial, Ty Cobb and George Brett. Every eligible player over 530 is in the Hall of Fame. He’s ranked 15th in career runs with 1820. Everyone over 1645 is in the Hall of fame. Besides that he’s an all-round nice guy. Hall of Famer. First ballot. Take it to the bank.

There were many more than this. It was a good week. For commenters. Not for me posting them.
