I'm sort of amazed at how little drama was involved in Kagan's confirmation. There's elections coming up and everything. I figured there would be a lot of grandstanding even if it wasn't really much about Kagan.
I read that the NRA opposed her but didn't want to make a big deal of it because they knew she'd be confirmed anyway and the NRA didn't want to make themselves appear weak.
I don't know what I think about her as a *judge* but I'd have a drink with her. Also, Marshall thought she was awesome(and I heart him) and I think I read that Stevens considered her a decent choice. If the wingers hate her that much, there is something good about this person. (That's how I found KO, too. Wanting to see the "sportscaster O'Reilly hates." because, okay, sports? Really? But with an enemy like BillO, it's gotta be good.O'Reilly is like my anti-Smuckers.
For Hec: Airships: a second age
They were once the future of travel. Now, more than 70 years after the Hindenburg crash, engineers are designing a new fleet of airships
Note: it's "core tenets" not "core tenants" and it's "NAS" not "NAZ". Just FYI. Throwing that out there. To, you know, people that never made that mistake.
eta: Also, Inception? Get out of my head. Because this thread title keeps putting it back in.
Pedantic of me, but . . . She becomes Justice Kagan only after she's sworn both the Judicial and Constitutional oaths. I just had to answer this question.
Okay, so Thursday from HELL is still chugging along. I have the book layout down. Now to the printer. Please to hope for efficiency.
I'm also noting how many of you are off I40!

I'd say dammit, but I kind of like having Inception in my head.
Having read Target's apology, it sounds like the non-apology kind. I'm sorry you were upset, we will put in a better system. How about "We shouldn't have donated to a group that supports a man who thinks killing people who are gay is ok just because we'd like to pay less in corporate taxes and screw the middle class."
Also, you can't really compare 2008 to now. This is the first time corporations can donate out of their corporate funds-from another article.
The reaction to Target’s donation highlights the potential risks for businesses that seek to take advantage of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that threw out parts of a 63-year-old law that prohibited campaign donations from company funds. The ruling changed regulations in about half the states, but the Target donation in Minnesota was among the first major new corporate moves to come to light.

Ha! You just got incepted.
