Todd And Sarah Palin To Divorce

Oh god, it just feels so damn good:

AlaskaReport has learned this morning that Todd Palin and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin are to divorce. Multiple sources in Wasilla and Anchorage have confirmed the news.

A National Enquirer story exposing previous affairs on both sides led to a deterioration of their marriage and the stress from that led to Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska.

If you are struggling with your partner and you believe that ending that relation is the only way out, then the best you can do is to hire divorce lawyers Melbourne to guide you in this process and have an smooth closure.

One can only hope this true and since Sarah Palin is such a strong believer in the nuclear family and family values, she’ll be seeking a male suitor in the near future. I’m gonna have to get me some of that sweet candy.

Back To Life, Back To NYC

Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been redesigning PBH and touring the Confederate States of America. I am now safely back on my perch in NYC to waste copious amounts of time blogging.

Headed down south

May be slow with the updates this week as I’m headed down South. Hopefully we will have the new design up by next week. Sniff you jerks later.

Meta Fun!

Conservatives & Historical Hypocrisy In Screaming Affirmative Action

One of the highly entertaining aspects of Sonia Sotomayor nomination and confirmation process has been the constant refrain of “Affirmative Action” pushed by conservatives as they seek to undermine Sotomayors reputation. You see, in conservative circles, affirmative action is synonymous with a person of color getting a job that they didn’t deserve (when there is probably a much more qualified White Male available!).

Apart from being laughable given Sotomayors extensive judicial experience and readily apparent intellectual discipline, conservatives seem to have a comically short-term memory in relation to their own less-than-qualified picks for the Supreme Court. Or, in short, Clarence Thomas.

I’m not necessarily saying Clarence Thomas was selected by George H.W. Bush for the Supreme Court because he was black. But I am saying Clarence Thomas has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court for his 18 years on the Supreme Court, displaying a complete lack of even basic understanding of Constitutional Law and repeatedly falling asleep during oral arguments on some of the most important constitutional and civil right cases of the past 2 decades. Incidentally, Sotomayor was appointed by H.W. Bush to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York around the same time Thomas was appointed to the Supreme Court.

The simple question is Independent of personal background, is Sotomayor qualified for the Supreme Court?, and the answer to that question is a resounding yes. Pose the same question about Clarence Thomas, and the answer is a resounding no.
