The law is an ass
Dear Scalia:
When a neighbor peeks in our bedroom windows, they are called perverts and peeping toms and get arrested.
When the government peeks in our bedroom windows, it’s sanctioned by law and they are congratulated for saving us from ourselves.
Know what I think? Anyone who peeks in my windows is a pervert. And if they’re traumatized for life by the sight of my big fat white naked body, that’s what they deserve.
WTF is a homosexual agenda anyway? I know lots of gay people. I guess I’m just not cool enough to be recruited.
Know what else I think? The gummint has no business making laws about abortion, gay marriage, sexual conduct between consenting adults, whether I wear a seatbelt, what food I can eat, or really much of anything else. Just because you don’t like it, Mr. Lawmaker, doesn’t mean it should be illegal. I don’t like cilantro; I think it tastes terrible. Should I lobby to outlaw it?
What is wrong with people? Oh, I’m so frustrated. Political parties suck, all of them. I don’t like them, and I think they should be made illegal, so there.

I just wish one of the following groups of people would take back the Republican party and stop coddling the Religious Reich:
1. Deficit Hawks. Newt brought ’em in, and the impeachment scandal made ’em go away. Let’s bring ’em back, if they promise to play nice, ok?
2. Budget hawks. Someone has to check liberal spending. Bill Archer’s the kind of guy I think would be good for the party, only with less sleaze, perhaps.
3. Libertarians. Bring ’em back into the fold. Especially the civil ones.
As much as I’m ideologically opposed to most forms of Republicanism, any of those three is a damn sight better than the Scalia/Robertson/Buchanan types that seem to be running things up yonder in D.C. right now…
Evern Wolfowitz. I bet Wolfowitz is a nice guy once you get to know him…
