This is my simple little blog. My plan is to write random stuff about random topics that come to mind. I doubt very much that anyone will ever read this – I doubt I’m going to tell anyone about it, in fact. If you do, you’ll learn some stuff about me, I guess. I doubt you’ll care all that much 😉
The thing is, there is stuff I want to talk about that doesn’t fit into a facebook post. I may not even keep this up – I never have managed to write daily ever before, but what the hell.
I’m writing this the night before the Senate does cloture on Kavanaugh. I have no idea what cloture actually means, other than it’s a procedural thing and, apparently, they can’t actually vote on him until it happens and it takes 30 hours later.
I don’t know what happened to Dr Ford in the early 80’s. It seems obvious to me that something did and that she believes it was Brett Kavanaugh. It’s also clear to me that Judge Kavanaugh is hiding something. It could just be embarrassment from the amount of drinking he did in high school and that this is public knowledge, I don’t know. I cannot imagine it’s fun admitting the stupid things you did in high school.
The problem is that he’s going to be a massively public figure, satirized on SNL and late night shows for decades. And, just based on his testimony, I don’t know that I want him on the court. I think he will be on the court, however.
I worry, as well, that I’m just falling to partisan bias. Of the people in my FB feed who post, it splits exactly on partisan lines.
btw – I just realized I had a quote and a pic of water in my blog, put there by wordpress. I have no idea who Izaak Walton is. I’m going to leave it there, though.
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
