The Dark Spot of Obama
Since Daily Kos was a big John Edwards backer since they are the most gullible morons on the face of the earth, I went over there kinda curious about their reactions to yet more scandals for the most obvious phony in the history of politics. And I saw this on the front page:
So what are they saying? Reagan is a bright light and Obama is a dark things about to block him out? Obama is going to descend us all into darkness?
The conservative blogosphere really should start a fundraiser to buy everyone at Daily Kos helmets to keep them from hurting themselves. That’s compassionate conservatism right there.
Empathy or Justice
Obama said this about what he’s looking for in a judicial pick:
“I view that quality of empathy, of understanding and identifying with peoples hopes and struggles as an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions and outcomes.”
Holy crap. Obviously, someone who probably has never read the Constitution would have no ideas of the qualities needed to interpret it. My ultimate pick for the Supreme Court would be a robot programmed with nothing but the Constitution. It would have no empathy, and it would destroy with extreme prejudice (using either it’s laser eyes or steel robot claws) anything that is not mentioned in the Constitution.
Boy would that think rampage on DC. Ooh, I should give it gatling guns for arms!
Here’s Fred Thompson (he’s my friend) on whether empathy is a needed quality for a Supreme Court Justice:

Morgan of House of Eratosthenes has honored IMAO with the “House of Eraosthenes The Blog That Nobody Reads Recognizes IMAO” Award.
Although we at IMAO are always pleased to be recognized (despite our only going out in public wearing dark glasses and rainbow wigs), we do apologize to H.o.E. if accepting this award ruins the blog’s tagline and accidentally makes somebody read it.
FINE PRINT:
To join the exclusive club of blogs who honor IMAO and have your award featured on our sidebar with a link to your blog, make up a fancy award image honoring IMAO, blog about it, and drop a link in the comments.
Keep it PG-13, and if it doesn’t suck too terribly bad, your award will be duly noted in a post (Current estimated wait time – 2 Award posts), and placed in the sidebar with a link to your site.
As added incentive for people to honor IMAO with worthless, made-up awards, those who do so may proudly display this worthless, made-up Participant Ribbon:
If you don’t have a blog, then send your image to harvolson-at-gmail.com and include a link to one of your favorite IMAO posts.
For the Photoshop-impaired, here’s a guide to making mediocre fake pictures with Microsoft Paint
Or try the free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum sidebar image width is 190 pixels. Please make sure text is at least barely legible at that size.
Now get honoring!
May the 4th Be with You
Random Thoughts
It’s kinda nice to pay a ton in taxes to have something real to complain about instead of being a hippie and whining about nothing.
Michelle Obama just thinks she’s too good to wrap her feet in duct tape like the rest of us.
If we settled Constitutional disputes with fist fights, would that makes things more or less arbitrary than they are now?
My idea for a Supreme Court Nominee: A toaster. But not just any toaster. An originalist toaster.
With all these people wearing facemasks, it’s going to be harder to spot a ninja in a crowd.
Is there anything in the Constitution that says we can’t replace Obama’s nominee with an identical robot?
We really need judicial sleeper agents who do only liberal decisions in hopes of one day being nominated to the Court by a Democrat… or did the Democrats already use that idea when they tricked Bush I into nominating Souter?
Think of it, years from now we’ll be looked upon as the reasonable Republicans, unlike the crazy radicals of 2050!
Are they ever going to make a sequel to Patton?
