You probably have heard of "Hobson's Choice"? Well, there is a rumor
current about Obama's Choice. Obama is going to nominate Joe Biden
for the Big Court!

A brilliant choice. Everyone loves Joe and the Repubs will suffer
at the polls if they attempt delay tactics.

He can do a recess appointment of anyone his heart desires and the
Senate can't do squat. The last President to do that was Ike.

I assume that you are kidding. I like Joe a lot, but he is hardly a
Constitutional scholar.

I don't think there's a chance in a million that Biden would be
nominated, for several reasons. One of them is that he's not
qualified. It's true that he graduated from law school, but it
doesn't look like he has ever actually worked as a lawyer.

He didn't graduate from a prestigious school and his record in law
school is stained by receiving an "F" grade because of plagiarism.
He was allowed to retake the course and he wound up graduating 76th
of 85 in his class.

resulting in a full-blown nuclear war and that would be the end of
the world as we know it. So, that's probably not a great idea.

That sounds like a Tom Clancy novel written on psychedelic drugs. ;-)

That kind of record didn't seem to handicap John McCain, but then no one
is seriously suggesting that he be placed on the Supreme Court either!
Perhaps we ought to seriously consider that political bias should be a
disqualifying trait for a candidate?

Appointing a politician to the Supreme Court strikes me as being a
little bit like marrying a prostitute. I suppose it might be OK to
marry a prostitute who didn't do it for very long, but the idea of
marrying an old, long-time professional is really revolting.

I don't know how adept Biden is about maneuvering

What is the old saying? The ideal wife is a lady in the drawing room
and a whore in the bedroom.

An argument that comes up from time to time is that perhaps we should
consider placing someone with a heart on the Supreme Court.

I think most men, though, would rather marry a lady and then try to
turn her into a whore in the bedroom than they would marry a whore
and try to turn her into a lady in the parlor.

Obama will evidently force the issue which will serve to put Republicans
in a box if he nominates someone who has impeccable credentials. That
will force the Republicans to appear even more obstructionist which is
what they are now desperately attempting to escape. It will probably
drag out all year and the one good thing that will come out of it is
that Democrats will realize that it is vitally important that we win
back the Senate.

Here's a quote, purportedly from Albert Einstein, that I agree with:

"MEN MARRY WOMEN WITH THE HOPE THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE. WOMEN MARRY
MEN WITH THE HOPE THEY WILL CHANGE. INVARIABLY THEY ARE BOTH
DISAPPOINTED." – ALBERT EINSTEIN

Everyone changes. Just not always for the better. Those beautiful
young Italian women turn into fat noisy old women has been my
observation. Have you noticed how many old men have beer bellies?

Marry a woman with brains is my advice to the young men. They seem to
get smarter as they age.

That seems to have worked. I wouldn't be retired now if it wasn't for
the one I married.

My motto has always been to marry someone who loves you more than
you love them. Then when you're not around, they won't be looking
for greener pastures.
