Lots of stuff going on in recent days, people, and hardly enough time to get to it all. You know what that means: Quick Hits! Here we go!
- Quotable: “I thought it was part of the women’s movement that women have the freedom to do whatever they want to do.” — U.S. Sen. John Ensign, urging reporters to leave Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin alone when it comes to her teenage daughter’s pregnancy. Of course, Ensign wants to curtail that freedom when it comes to abortion rights, so if you were wondering if he was still full of shit, your answer is “hell, yeah!”
- So, supporters of Congressman Ron Paul go to all the trouble of hijacking the Nevada Republican Convention, hold their own unsuccessful convention, file a lawsuit, lodge a successful appeal with the Republican National Committee and get all the way to the floor of the party’s national convention only to … agree to nominate John McCain for president? What was the point? Maybe they really are crazy.
- Mark our words: If Democrats get between 51 and 58 seats in the U.S. Senate, then “Democrat” Joe Lieberman will most likely see his office moved to a broom closet and find himself chairing the Senate Select Committee on Fucking Oneself. If, however, Democrats manage to garner 59 or 60 seats, well, then, Lieberman’s star turn at the Republican convention will be forgiven. Oh, if Democrats can count to 61 without Lieberman, he’d better have somebody else start his car in the Senate garage.
- An incumbent judge — suspended from the bench — brutally beaten. A challenger facing an SEC probe. This seat is cursed.
- Area woman argues for repeal of 19th Amendment.
- And finally today, we can’t help but note the irony: Doug French, who has taken us to task in the pages of Liberty Watch (which is a magazine) resigned as executive vice president at Silver State Bank before it was seized and sold by state and federal regulators. You mean that all this time he was using his vast economic knowledge to criticize us, he was also at the helm of a failing bank, unable to survive a tanking economy? Well, that sure puts things in perspective. Everybody be sure to take his next tirade with a grain of salt.
