Damn me for being Fair & Balanced GRRRR!!!

Just when i thought I was done with trying to be all "Fair And Balanced" in favor of going entirely Hippie-Leftist, stuff happens that makes me have to be a voice of reason :(

CURSE YOU, TOM DeLAY!!!!

Lots of sources today are accusing Tom DeLay of "basically" saying that Sotomayor was given her position because she's a Mexican chicka.

I would usually leave such broad, unresearched accusations to my Right-Wing friends... but this is coming to me from THE LEFT!

Now don't get me wrong... I hate Mr. DeLay and would love to force him in to smoking a bong full of medicinal marijuana while performing a State-approved abortion. But I've read it and re-read it over and over again and find nothing wrong with what he was saying here:

Really, it seems to me that all he's saying is "Everybody needs to look BEYOND the whole Race/Gender thing and be sure that this IS somebody that we want on the Supreme Court".

That... that's *reasonable*. I can't say I disagree with that!

Blah blah. Politics make me mad, so let's talk about Disneyland!

Did you say your free flights are on Continental? Give me the scoop so we can sort out your DL plans! We're going in October, actually, so you guys should come too.

That would indeed be awesome! But even if we're talking about free airfare, admission to the parks and hotel stay, we can't afford a trip to Disneyland till Molly's birthday at the absolute earliest :(

Now, what *I* would like to discuss with you is arranging a TRADE. From Seattle, Continental has direct flights to Houston! You don't have Texas crossed-off your list of STates yet, do ya? I think they also fly in to New Jersey...
