And none of that 'calling balls and strikes' nonsense from you, Mr. Chief Justice... Oh, come and see the violence inherent in the system! In a Q & A session at the University of Minnesota Monday, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor admitted that every now and then, Antonin Scalia would say something on the bench that left her
what, if you don't watch them on the Tee Vee machine, they'll come to your door? and what, act out their inanities live?
if the rest of the public wants that crap, nobody is stopping them.there are piles and piles of books, and a few good movies, all calling my name right now, while those eedjits on the tube don't even know my zip code
I'm in the minority in my family and have been told, in no uncertain terms, to get over it. So, I come here if I want support for my views and I can still enjoy being the bosom of my family and eating good food.
"I don't know. I just don't trust her. What about the Clinton Foundation? What about the emails?" No matter how many times I try to explain, I just get to do it all over again the next week. Sisyphus got nothing on me.
i recall former senator alan simpson talking years ago about the disappearance of civility in political life. he was reminiscing about the days when he and his democratic colleagues would argue hammer and tongs on the senate floor on opposite sides of an issue and then, on the weekends, their families would get together for a barbecue.
i blame that fat repulsive fucker newt, who i would gladly barbecue.
Yeah, politics is even starting to affect my dating life. I do online dating, and if I get even a wiff of what I deem crude political beliefs (anti-gay, anti-choice, anti-feminism, etc.), I just go, "NOPE!". And now I'm starting to wonder if I'm being a tad bit unfair, because TBH, some of them were in the "I'd (probably) hit that" territory. But in fairness to myself, I don't see why a black ladyperson like myself should give the benefit of the doubt to some pro-Trump white guy who thinks racism/sexism is not a big deal (yeah, I've been approached...wtf?).
Unfortunately, different people take different issues more personally than others. And people always have different perspectives based on their own experience or inexperience. I really do want to try to be fair, though, but this election has justifiably shut down the incentive... If I already knew someone, I might just avoid politics and get along, but if I'm just getting to know someone, I'll pull the plug on that shit right quick.

Dok, I would love to see you admonish Justice Sotomayor to keep it cute in the comments! That'd be a hoot and a half!
As I believe someone wrote in these august pixels at the time: "What, they couldn't find a picture of her eating box in the backseat of a Subaru?"
Where was the picture of her sensible shoes?
In a non-sporting context, it could be replaced by an iron bar or a frying pan.

Me too. I live in the South many, many miles away from most of my relatives. I see them on holidays and try to stay away from politics.

To be fair, it had a baseball-themed pillowcase on it.
Lug wrenches and fireplace pokers are also traditional, in the 'non-sporting context.'My fave is the ubiquitous Blunt Instrument.
