Just In: Senate Judiciary Panel Recommends Alito For Confirmation

Along party lines, 10-8.

Democrats are talking up a floor fight over the nomination, but Lindsey Graham, at least, seems in a feisty frame of mind:

Republicans on the committee accused Democrats of falsely portraying Alito as an extremist and of politicizing the nomination process in preparation for the next election. If this is what the Democrats want in the future, said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), "We'll clean their clock."

I give his statement a solid B+.

It's... it's... horrible! I'm not sure exactly how it's horrible, but I just know that it is!

IMPEACH BUSH!

Is there something inherently violent or domineering about clock cleaning? How did this phrase get its meaning?

I think a few points should be deducted for ambiguity, btw. Cheney's cock would have said it'd tear off their heads and piss down their necks.

It is a scandal.

WTF is he doing on something as pansy as _tennis_ when he could be on a hunting junket. !?!

Irony: The same democrats who whine that Republicans are a "Culture of Corruption" for accepting donations then voting the way the donors want... just voted party-line against Alito because their biggest donors told them to.

I've got to admire the way Democrats have perfected the technique of casting something in an evil light just by referencing it:

"Judge Alito, I'm sure you're an otherwise decent person, but according to reports, you have on more than one occasion complimented your Mother. Even as an adult, you continue to compliment your Mother. As a nominee for the highest court in the land, how do you justify this behavior?"

My favorite part of this morning's committee meeting? Had to be Dick Durbin's great big crocodile tears about how (and I'm paraphrasing) "this was supposed to be about Harriet Myers, but the right-wingers in the Republican party tore her to shreds," or some such bullshit.

Indeed, I wonder how much money got moved into TK's pocket when Moveon put their words in his mouth?

I'm glad that Graham seems to be a non-wussy GOP in the Senate. Why pretend the other side is playing by polite rules.

The "who do you think your neighbors are voting for" question is designed to avoid the Shy Tory problem, wherein conservative people lie to schmollsters because they don't want to go on record with a likely left-winger telling them who they're really voting for. So instead the question is who do you think your neighbors are voting for, so people can talk about who they themselves support without actually having to admit it to a left-wing rando stranger recording their answers on the phone.

Interesting football history: How the forward pass was created in response to the nineteen -- 19! -- people killed playing football in 1905 alone
The original rules of football did not allow forward passes. The ball was primarily advanced by running, with blockers forming lines with interlocked arms and just smashing into the similarly-interlocked defensive lines. It was basically Greek hoplite spear formations but with a semi-spherical ball. As calls to ban the sport entirely grew, some looked for ways to de-emphasize mass charges as the primary means of advancing the ball, and some specifically championed allowing a passer to throw the ball forward.

Atari to release former competitor Intellivision with 45 games for $149

Pitfall was a really good game. I don't know if it was available on Intellivision. Update: It was. But I don't know if it's included in the new unit.
