Dems: Making the simple difficult

Some things are simple. A child’s birthday party is a success if there is plenty of cake and ice cream and a few games. Parents complicate it by turning what should be 45 minutes of non-stop fun into a 2 ½ hour theme party with clowns, magicians, bounce houses and goodie bags. I’ve never understood the goodie bag thing. Modern parents know that when you invite ten kids to a party you are responsible to provide each with $10 worth the crap that, except for the candy, will be thrown out the minute they get home. The few parties I went to as a kid, I brought the present and left with a belly full of cake and ice cream and a hardy “thank you”.

Now a days, a 9 year old’s birthday party requires weeks of planning, ordering supplies on-line, a special room, entertainment and a couple hundred bucks. The party is scheduled out like a NASA launch, 12:00: This will be our gathering activity. 12:30: Color some tropical scenes that we can paste on the wall for our “Day at the beach” theme. 1:00: Move on to the arts and crafts table to construct a sand castle. 1:30 Clown arrives… Even at that, there is no guarantee little Johnny will have a good time. One party I went to the guest of honor spent most of the time in the kitchen crying about this or that. The rather belabored point is that it ought to simple. But now Johnny’s party has to be bigger, with a better goodie bag than Billy’s.

Well the senate hearings on Supreme Court nominations ought to be simple (Beautiful transition to the actual point of this piece, don’t you think?). Judge XXX, are you going to overturn Roe? Sorry, I can’t answer that question. Party line vote. It should last about 15 minutes. But give a bunch of posturing, posing, pusillanimous, pinheads, like Slow Joe Biden, 30 minutes to talk and they will talk with little regard as to what they are saying.

My take:
- Watching Slow Joe yesterday, I wondered to myself, will the state of Delaware ever tire of having a Senator that knows he’s the dumbest guy in any room that he happens to stumble into?
- Ted, I’m qualified to challenge this man’s integrity because I’ve only let one woman drown in the backseat of my car, Kennedy sounded as if he was coming back from 8 martini lunch.
- Diane Feinstein made it sound as if the only thing that really matters in this world is woman’s unrestricted right to pull an 8 month old fetus from her womb and have its brains sucked out.
- Russ, what First Amendment, Feingold sounded like a petty, mean spirited little twit – but then that is totally in character.
- Chucky, is the camera on, Schumer foolishly tried to equate abortion with free speech. Then he couldn’t understand or accept Alito’s assertion that they are fundamentally different because the right to free speech is (was until McCain Feingold) clearly enumerated in the First Amendment. There is no specific right to an abortion mentioned in the Constitution. Chuck looked like the RCA dog trying to figure it all out.
- Alito was, as predicted, clearly the smartest guy in the room.

Next prediction: As Alito makes the Dems look dumber and dumber, –aka exposing them for what they are – expect networks to bump out of the hearings as a face saving measure for their party.
