Sidebar – Justice John Paul Stevens Voices Frustration With Recent Decisions of Supreme Court – Series – NYTimes.com

This nation is really going to miss John Paul Stevens when he finally retires from the bench. Not that the Talibangelicals will realize it, but seeing as thier justices just sold us out to China, they might look back on him differently.

Here is a good article on him and his thoughts on recent decisions by the Court.

Bauer: Furor over comments won’t change stance – TheState.com

This week in “compassionate conservatism”:

“My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed.

“You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that. And so what you’ve got to do is you’ve got to curtail that type of behavior. They don’t know any better.”

That’s South Carolina’s Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer on why he thinks needy people are like stray animals. And yes, he’s running for governor.

Suddenly I understand why the Palmetto State was fine with keeping a hypocrite and scumbag who sleeps around with his wife in office.

The irony here, as with most things Republican, is that Bauer used to be on a reduced school lunch system as a kid.
