The Nappy Cat Chronicles

I wholeheartedly agree with Radley Balko:

He said something to the effect of, “But you have to respect the office and the institution.”

I don’t see why. Members of Congress sure as hell don’t respect the office or the institution. They regularly pass laws that aren’t authorized by the Constitution. And that’s just the stuff they do proudly. Never mind the corruption, exempting themselves from the laws they pass, pork spending, and . . . the list goes on.

Before the recent elections, I tried to reason with someone that, though candidate Obama may be likable, you should be an opponent of president Obama and of every politician, likable or otherwise. They laughed like a Brit at a tit joke and informed me “Obama’s different.” Hilariously, given Obama’s record of not changing anything, the joke’s on them.
