Fumbling Around on a Friday

Sonia Sotomayor has become the first Hispanic Justice on the United States Supreme Court. Just in case you missed it.

Of course, no one is surprised at the confirmation. But it sure would be nice if we could get away from all these firsts and simply raise the best judges to the high court.

Yeah, right. But as we haven't had our first Inuit cross dressing triathlete weathercaster in a position of power yet, that day is a long way off.

A mother, grandmother, and six month old were asked to leave a Burger King because the infant wasn't wearing shoes. It was a health matter, you understand. That kid might have trigger the virus which would have killed everyone there.

That's sarcasm, by the way. I should say that, before anyone accuses me of extremism, I am only trying to point out the absurdity of applying otherwise reasonable prohibitions in unreasonable situations. That baby was no health risk; the manager was not exactly using common sense in the matter. Lighten up, BK stooge.
