Should Alito be confirmed?

Definitely fat and complacent.

BTW, I'm not an anarchist, man... I just want government to be no bigger than it has to be in order to do just what we need it to be doing. Think of it like sometimes you find yourself in need of a chipper/shredder... one of those big, industrial suckers they pull behind a truck. It's an extremely dangerous, violent machine that will certainly fuck you up completely if you use it for the wrong thing, like, say, shaving your nuts.

Of course, in this world, there exist certain reprehensible characters as the amoral industrial-sized, truck-pulled chipper/shredder salesman and his cousin, the politician... each dying to sell you and everybody else on the idea that their product is much more universally useful than it actually is.

Anyhoo... I still hold out hope for you. You do know that you can still call yourself a populist (even a Jew) once you become a libertarian, right? It's a freakin big tent over here. Not a very filled tent at the moment, now that everything wrong with everybody is now officially someone else's fault...

If you are so critical of those seeking political power, why are you so quick to look in that bucket for solutions to all our problems? I don't care who might have been in office since 2000, the only thing stopping any politician from doing exactly what Bush has done was the expediency of each abuse toward whatever that person's ultimate political goal might be. No ultimate political goal is ever all that different from any other.

I understand what you're pissed at, and I totally respect your point here. I still say the only difference here is that Bush is being much less obfuscatory than have his predecessors. I say great. Bring it on. Fat and complacent, meet arrogant and running your life. I'm only a little disappointed that he didn't recommend Jesus Christ for the Supreme Court. That would have rocked.

I want a slap fucking crazy president. Let's kick this pig, dammit.
