I RUV RU REORGE: Roving In The Mud and Miers, Delayed Reaction

You know, I'm not one to be political or whatnot, but what's up with this withdrawal of nomination. It'd be fun to watch those curmudgeons grill the nominee on everything from tacos to torts. I mean c'mon, what are you gonna do? So what you get picked on a bit. Goodness knows I was picked on when I was a wee lad. Criticism, so what? You are who are you. What you see is what you get. If your critics don't like you so? Press on. I don't know if she'd be the best choice or worst choice for justice as I'm pretty much clueless most of the time, but hey countless nominees have been criticised but still stuck with it and not backed out amidst the fire. Look at Clarence Thomas, and all that jazz back when he was up for justice. There's always going to be criticism no matter how wonderful or how awful you are. This is part and parcel of the whole politics thing. You won't be able to please everybody. And that's a fact. You can't help it since some will be affected postively and others will be negatively with whatever you do. The whole balance of nature thing. Yin the yang. Everyone wang chung tonight. Maybe there are other factors which I am of course (most likely) ignorant about, but hey I try to keep things simple. I'm not ignorant, I just don't know. Finish what you started, stick with whatever to the end. Fight the good fight. Many have gone before. Many will to come. Never give up, never surrender. To infinity and beyond. If you're in the belly of the beast do you give up, get taken over, or fight.

And then all this upheaval right now with the corruption in the Republican party and all. Rove, Delay, to mention a few. Unbelievable. Whether true or not, I just hope people learn to always keep things in check. I guess it gets harder and harder the higher the rungs of the ladder you end up on. You lose sight of what's really important. So many things hitting you at once. What do you do? Gotta keep on climbling. It's OK if you do something wrong. It's not that bad. Look at the big picture. You'll have more power when you're up there, then you can do more good right? For the greater good there must be sacrifices right? It's ok for littler people to go down, they won't fall that hard right. In the grand scheme of things they're not going make a difference. Sure every situation is different, and the higher ups have to deal with those tough decisions that us peons don't even know about. No more black and white. And read over. A newspaper? Everything is grey these days. It's OK to compromise a bit here, look the other way there. Be complaisant about this matter. That matter. Don't worry about it. Pretty soon, all your morals are compromised and that little thing called moral indifference settles in and systematic desensitization spreads and pretty soon, it all doesn't matter anymore. You do what you want. In the end it's all about power. You know Lord Acton was right. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I just don't know. Can you be in politics and not compromise your personal integrity and moral tenets? That's a question for the Mythbusters. Or you urban legends seekers. Wonder how they'll test that one. Maybe we will find it on snopes.

And then those dumb Astros. Sure I'm a fair weather fan if you call it. I was all Clutch City when the Rockets went on their roll in the 90's. Whatever. Really only watch when its the playoffs or the finals. I don't have that much time to catch everything. Not when my sci-fi shows are on. Like yeah. You know what's more important. Anyways, those Disastros. I'm ashamed. But hey man guys sure you made it to the World Series, which is the Holy Grail but still it would have been nice to win one for H-town. Still cool that y'all made it this far but cmon. Sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep. What is that? That's the sound of some White Sox cleaning house. You know once upon a time I was an actual fan when I was knee high to a june bug. Well maybe a bit bigger. Back in the day I used to follow them and even went to a couple games. But that was a long time ago. Things change. Anyways, I'll have to give them props though. It's not an easy feat to get to the World Series. I couldn't even make it on my baseball team at school. Wait I never cared enough to try out. I'm more of a geekish badminton kind of guy. Ping pong. Yeah. Pong. Cool Atari game. The game that started it all. Almost as cool as Frogger and Pitfall though. Gosh I miss those days. Galaga. I remember Super Mario 3 was my favorite game back in junior high, used to play it til the sun came up. When I wasn't in school or playing badminton or Transformers of course. I digress. Peace.
