Update: May not post anything tonight. As gently as I can put this, metaphorically, my toenails and my molars were two ships passing in the night.
I think I got some bad food. Really bad food.
Gilbert Gottfried bad.

Just this morning, the Diane Rhem Show on NPR. (driving to work after a dr appt)
This is not verbatim, but the content is there.
Female Guest #1: I think it is a good thing having Supreme Court Justices on the bench like Sotomayor and Kagan – it’s beneficial to have a wide range of experience.
Diane Rhem: I think there ought to be a few seats filled with people with no legal experience – no lawers or legal training.
Male Guest #2: I think you’re absolutely right. It should be someone like Al Franken who represents the populist vote.
I literally swerved on the highway as my jaw dropped.
Go read yesterday’s post for something to help you recover from that kind of mind-job. I’m still shuddering.
I do wish they’d stop blathering on about how many cases Kagan has recused herself from. It’s not uncommon the first year. It’s a non-issue issue.
