A Stitch in Haste

John McCain recently gave a speech in which he promised, unsurprisingly, to appoint "conservative" judges who would refrain from engaging in "judicial activism."

Of course, "judicial activism" often means protecting the inherent rights of politically disadvantaged insular minorities from the tyranny of the majority. To radical majoritarians like McCain, "judicial activism" is somehow a bad thing.

And, as some of us know, it really is hard being part of a politically disadvantaged insular minority:


Of course, VanFresh is Canadian, and Canada is often better at protecting minorities than the U.S. So he'll probably be fine.

I've been accused, yet again, of having an inordinate fondness for Catholic-bashing.

I can't imagine why...



I wonder how many Catholics, when the plate reaches them each Sunday, drop in not a twenty-dollar bill but a note demanding that the Vatican abandon its primitive, cruel and thoroughly un-Christian policies regarding gays.

For an American lay Catholic to disagree with the Pope's bilious blather but do nothing about it is, um, to do nothing about it. And I, like nicklansley, will not apologize for having an inordinate fondness for pointing that out.

(For those who don't get the reference.)

One of Hillary Clinton's "million ideas that the country can't afford" comes from her silly ode to nanny-statism, It Takes a Village (with emphasis on "nanny"):

Videos with scenes of commonsense baby care -- how to burp an infant, what to do when soap gets in his eyes, how to make a baby with an earache comfortable -- could be running continuously in doctors' offices, clinics, hospitals, motor vehicle offices, or any other place where people gather and have to wait.

The only idea that could possibly be worse would be to outsource the nanny-videos to the British:


On second thought, maybe ominpresent YouTube videos from jimmy0010 wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Following up from last week, what should a guy who fears that he is "undesirable, undatable, unhappy, and uncool" do to help improve his social life?

Go to a dance club, of course:

One of my favorite YouTubers can commiserate:


I would have tried to cheer up disneykid1 and tell him that he is indeed desirable, datable, happy and cool. But then I remembered that I'm probably one of the "less than 20% of 23,336,016" people whom he outranks, so what's the point?

With all the talk nowadays about economic slowdowns, housing bubbles, subprime crises and such, I thought I would pay homage to those more radical libertarians who insist that we should return to the gold standard and that paper money is an abomination.

They may be on to something:


I suppose Supersmooth007 would make a good central banker.
