Conservatives argue Sotomayor has a "hard-left record" - Mrsth from Bookmarklet

Actually I should not have used the "you" pronoun here as I didn't intend this to be a judgment of the OP rather of the folks making this lame argument. My apologies. - Jeff Jones

"thus far found only a single Obama donor (and a minor one at that: $200 from Jeffrey Hunter of Waco, Texas) on the closing list." - Mrsth from Bookmarklet

I shared an article related to this awhile ago. Turns out that the majority of car dealers are Republican supporters. Therefore it only seems like they're being singled out. - http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archive... - Kenton

Thouroughly debunked by the fine folks over at fivethirtyeight.com. Short answer, in 2008 auto dealers gave 1.221 MILLION in contributions to Republicans and only 161 THOUSAND to Dems. Of course the dealers closed are going to be mainly Republican donors with numbers like that. No story here, just the right wing noise machine doing what they do best... blathering without looking at actual facts. - Jeff Jones

"In the great pie vs. cake debate, I'm firmly on the cake side. There's no pie in this world that tastes better than a good chocolate cake. And unless you're weird like my father, you don't celebrate your special day with birthday pie. I've had a cake on my birthday every year for as long as I can remember. Until this year. This year my wife made me a birthday trifle. What I love about the trifle is that it's like a cake, but without all the rules. You just layer in whatever you like, scoop it out, and eat it out of a bowl. You could put in cake whole or broken up. Is the cake too dry? Who cares! The other stuff will moisten it up. You don't have to even have to worry about structural integrity. Your cake could topple or fall apart when you cut it, but as long as your trifle bowl holds everything, you're in super-sweet heaven. This particular trifle didn't even contain cake. It had layers of Oreos, brownies, chocolate pudding, banana pudding, and Cool Whip. And therein lies the beauty of the trifle--no recipe required. You only need an ingredient list." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

yum! my mom and (increasingly so) sister make the most amazing trifle....love it! - Jeffrey Marsh

"Presidents used to reserve a Catholic seat and a Jewish seat on the Supreme Court," Perry told CNN Radio. "Now we've moved from a Catholic seat on the court to a Catholic court." - Mrsth from Bookmarklet

North Korea agreed in 2008 to scrap its nuclear weapons program -- which it said had produced enough plutonium for about seven atomic bombs -- in exchange for economic aid. But the deal foundered over verification and disclosure issues, and the North expelled international inspectors and announced plans to restart its main nuclear reactor - Mrsth from Bookmarklet

"It is a laughable delusion for the United States to think that it can get us to kneel with sanctions," it said in an editorial. "We've been living under U.S. sanctions for decades, but have firmly safeguarded our ideology and system while moving our achievements forward. The U.S. sanctions policy toward North Korea is like striking a rock with a rotten egg." - Mrsth from Bookmarklet

Notice the writer left out that her decisions are overturned 80 percent of the time?? - Mrsth

Cardozo doesn't count? - Mrsth

"SOTOMAYOR: All of the legal defense funds out there, they're looking for people with Court of Appeals experience because it is -- Court of Appeals is where policy is made. And I know, and I know this is on tape, and I should never say that because we don't make law, I know. (laughing)" - Mrsth from Bookmarklet
