While the person trading Smith has S. Jackson and J. Lewis as his starting backs and R. Wayne and B. Jones as his other receivers.

Harriet Miers Withdraws

Miers’ nomination has been under withering criticism ever since Bush announced her selection on Oct. 3. There were widespread complaints about her lack of legal credentials, doubts about her ability and assertions of cronyism because of her longtime association with Bush.

The nomination drew fire across the political spectrum and caused a rebellion among the conservative core of Bush’s supporters who doubted her qualifications and wanted a nominee who they felt would be a reliable vote against abortion, affirmative actions and other hot-button issues.

And now the Dems probably wait and hope.

One reason why Democrats might hesitate to sink Miers is concern about what might happen next. There are at least three scenarios. In the first scenario, Bush capitulates to his right wing base and nominates a known candidate with excellent credentials who is an ideological conservative in the Scalia/Thomas mold. Then Democrats are worse off than they would have been with Miers.

But not really worse off.

Democrats who care about the institution of the Court, and who care about the future of the Constitution, should want good people on the bench even if their views about the Constitution differ in important respects from their own. That is what it means to act in the public interest and for the public good: to safeguard and protect the vitality and the quality of the key institutions of American government-- whether they be the Congress, the President, or the courts.

No, It's Not What You Think

And don't worry if you feel like an idiot or an ass. I too thought for a second that it might have been SWLAW. So at the very least you have good company.

Not So Surprising Coming From SWLAW

Minnesota's largest law firm says a woman used a fake law school transcript to get into the company and worked for six months as an associate attorney before she was discovered.

Tom Tinkham is a partner at Dorsey and Whitney. He says the firm found out about the woman's fake transcript after her colleagues began to question the quality of her work.

He says she claimed to have a law degree from the University of Minnesota and a license to practice law in the state of New York.

But she apparently created her own transcript. And her New York registration number belonged to someone else.

How much more surprising would it be when the firm I work for discovers I actually have a real law degree after the quality of my work raises suspicion? That is until they see where I graduated from.

Kidding, you know I love you SWLAW.

Third-Tier Conversation

Brian: Over the last week I've been depressed.
Annie: I eat yogurt.
Me (with completely puzzled expression): What has that got to do with what he said?
Annie: I'm so sad because instead of eating ice cream I have to eat yogurt.
Me (with the resigned tone of knowing that's about as good an explanation as I'm going to get): Oh.

It's good to have Annie back in the fold but it's going to take some time getting used to.

An Etiquette Question

Say you celebrated someone's birthday on a date before the actual birthday for the sake of convenience. For example, you celebrate during the weekend before with the actual birthday falling on the following Tuesday. Do you then have to say happy birthday to that person on Tuesday too after saying it already on Saturday?

If so, a belated happy 25th to Yazzie who received vodka and porn as gifts this year.

No need to say anymore.

A Suggestion For Yazzie
