In other matters...

...I wonder if anyone has started the "Senatorial Personal Pronoun Countdown" for the Alito hearings? It is, after all, all about them.

Dang it! If had only thought of it, I could have added that to today's rant.

There's time to add it in, Larry.

Personally, I think it would be more fun to count the "I am troubled"'s and variations thereto.

Although not nearly so much fun as hitting someone with a mallet every time they say "I am troubled..."

"MR. Alito, I am troubled--::THWACK:: OW! Mr. Alito, it troubles me--::THWACK:: HEY! Mr. Alito, don't you find it troubling--::THWACK::"

I'd dispense with the trigger words. I'd just have a guy playing whack-a-mole every time Ted (hic) Kennedy came out from under the desk.

HEY! You leave him alone! He wrote a kid's book so he could be loved like Tookie!

If he REALLY wants to be like Tookie...

P'raps I should remain silent at this point.

Just be careful about getting in a car with him...
