Snore

I realize this makes me seem rather socially unconscious, but I'm annoyed that NPR is starting "gavel to gavel" coverage of the confirmation hearings of Samuel Alito at noon. Now, I know I should care about the future of my nation's Supreme Court, and I do - but I can't sit through another afternoon of these pompous blowhards spouting their political filth while trying to magnify Alito's views or villify them. He thinks what he thinks and you can't expect him to espouse his personal opinions on sensitive subjects when, if he's doing his job the right way, his personal opinions have no bearing on his rulings pertaining to the law of the land. Agree or disagree with him, a judge's job is to rule based upon law. Hopefully that's what he'd do. I'm not sure about that, but can anyone be? Not until he's got a case in front of him. I'm dissatisfied in a very bi-partisan way with government lately and hours upon end of policitos shouting at each other, being generally belligerant and personifying everything I hate about DC is not what I need this afternoon. I think I might be forced to go to the pop music station. It's the only other station I can get on this dinky radio.

Hey - happy Monday! It's a pretty good one down here in Miami. The man made my lunch today. How nice is that?
