Ok, enough sarcasm. I was just a little burnt out on the whole conversion of CNN and the other news networks to the 24 hour pope channel. All pope, all the time. Honestly, since I’m not a catholic and I have more than a few issues with the pope’s decision’s over the last few years I can’t say I’m all broken up about this. I’m not saying I’m glad he’s dead or anything I’m just saying that much as with Ronald Reagan’s death last year I hate to see this instant deification of political figures once they die. And make no mistake, the pope is a political figure.

And just out of curiosity, how is a Republican Judge, who is also a born again Christian, making “activist” decisions when he rejects the congress’s violation of the clause in the constitution forbidding the creation of laws that affect only 1 person? And how crazy must Tom DeLay be if even the Wall Street Journal editorial page has turned against him?

And in honor of the ending of the gawd awful exploitation of Terri Schialvo I found this article to be Apropos.

Quote of the day:
“George Bush put his hand on the bible swearing to uphold the constitution, not the other way around.”
-Bill Maher, in response to the president’s actions during the Terry Schialvo issue.
