The Kav is unworthy of a SCOTUS appointment based on everything we know sans the Ford rape allegations. Agree or disagree?
Do you still like beer?
Today I am as sober as a Judge.
That might be one of the best responses ever typed on the Lit. Well done, Peter.
Better to have snorted lines off a stripper's ass and lost than to never have snorted lines off a stripper's ass at all.
I do not hide from my past. In HS I played drums in the bars. The band played constantly and I knew the bartenders and waitresses (! ). There were few sober drives home following packing up the gear at the end of the night. Booze and drugs were a way of life.
Fast forward a decade. I was granted a Q clearance with the DOE. They interviewed my friends and enemies. Few stones left uncovered.
The reason I was cleared was honesty. The DOE was much more concerned with my honest answers to questions more than the number of lines I snorted off the stripper's asses.
I miss those asses.

Just a quick question. What are all of you Kavanaugh phobics going to do if the FBI exonerates him?
Everyone involved has already submitted testimony that is de facto testimony under oath that they have no recollection of this claim.
None of them can change their story without perjuring themselves.
The Judge is in no danger of perjury when all of the stories are compared.
The only person in danger of perjury is the self-proclaimed "victim."
Trump should nominate Hillary and let that investigation finally begin.
If you were not like 25 years older than me, we would have hung out in high school.
Preach it, sister! Take that shit to the Champagne Room.
No one has proved lying to date unless when it comes to he said, she said, she is always right, no matter what.

Has this happened to you before? You seem to be hit hard over all this.
How did you climb back from the outcome? Is there a cautionary tale you could tell us about that we could learn from?
Sure they have. From the congressional hearing of his current job. He claimed he hadn't been involved in the stealing of Democratic documents and his own emails from the 7 percent of his background files the Democrats managed to get released showed he did. He was a liar in congressional testimony before coming into this nomination. Who do you think you're fooling?
Republican fail.
I have no idea what you are going on about.
Democrats? Stealing? Proof?
Ask any reporter of my generation -- I got my first newspaper job in 1972 -- why he or she went into journalism and the answer is very likely to be: to change the world. Journalism was the default option if you didn't want to, or couldn't get into, law school, and it was viewed as a way to right wrongs by bringing them to public attention. It seemed a noble calling, and when shortly after I began my career Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein started breaking their Watergate stories, it was even better: doing the Lord's work, one front-page headline at a time.
How times have changed. Today's reporters may still think they're helping save both the human race and the planet, but the context is now completely different. Unlike the older reporters, who generally had majored in the liberal arts in college and often drifted accidentally into journalism, they've been schooled in it, and not just in journalism but in the entire panoply of contemporary Leftist issues, including environmentalism, feminism, and the moral rightness of the Democrat Party, which they view as the locomotive of the civil-rights movement and thus forever on the side of the angels. They are not just reporters out for a story; they are in service to a Cause.
Accordingly, the machinery of journalism (especially as the big-city dailies die, and senior staff are now too expensive to maintain) has been harnessed to serve the Cause, and the means by which the Cause is served is called the Narrative. The Narrative is the collection of policy tics we know as "social justice," a bastardization of real justice but now a potent force in the still half-formed minds of most of the young journalists. They would no more question it than, in prior decades, earlier generations would have questioned the existence of God, or the moral rightness of the American Way.
So today stories must no longer simply be interesting or informative, they must have a Larger Meaning, illustrating one or more of the Social Justice Warrior's obsessions. And the obsession that currently grips them -- many of whom who gleefully indulged in the hookup culture of the 1990s and early 2000s, when they were in college -- is sex. Long gone are the days of Erica Jong, limning the joys of the "zipless fuck," and the other celebrants of sexual hedonism renamed "liberation." In their places have come the joyless drones of The Handmaid's Tale, an utterly predictable return to America's early Puritan roots after one too many nights at Plato's Retreat. No more liberated females, enjoying sex in the same way and with as much gusto as men do -- that was always a male fantasy in the first place, promulgated most notably by Hugh Hefner in the pages of Playboy), but chattel sex slaves, in thrall to toxic masculinity.
In short, the culture has turned on a dime, as any student of American history knew it would. The United States, it seems, is always swinging wildly from one extreme to another; the pendulum, like some infernal instrument out of Poe, moves inexorably ever lower but can never achieve equilibrium or statis. So the current generation of American journalists has eagerly hopped aboard and now, clinging for dear life lest they tumble into the pit, charges forward into a brave new world in which women are no longer helpmeets but victims, yearning for a different kind of liberation than their mothers and grandmothers did.
Some of these posters are telling on themselves.
Well, of course you (are claiming you) don't. That's how your game goes.![]()
