A Suggestion

A suggestion for jury orientation in federal court in Manhattan: Your responsibility is to determine the facts of the case you are hearing, not to strike a blow for little guys -- or big ones, for that matter.

But on the Subject of Little Guys

Liberals don't believe we are capable of managing our lives and, therefore, cannot handle liberty. Is LPR the only place outraged by seat belt laws as gross invasions of privacy? Why is the Bush administration pressing states for tougher seat belt laws? Is there a dime's worth of difference between the Bush administration and the liberals, perhaps qualifying as our neo-authoritarians (or, in Madison's term: "Anti-republicans").

Mel Gibson

He didn't misstate anything in the Gospels, did he?

A Little Guidance Please

Same sex marriages, who would have guessed

May the love of these couples radiantly bloom

But as I wish that these unions be blessed

Will someone explain who is bride, who is groom?

Commenting on "The Pundit on the Desktop" (a New York Times op-ed column--March 13)

Why do ATHLETES warm up? "LETS HEAT" they tell us. Predicting that Senator Kerry, as president, would bring CAVEATS to the Oval Office, David Brooks seems to be hoping that the likely Democratic nominee yet VACATES the campaign. THE NEW YORK TIMES always asks, "KNIT, SEW, OR HEM YET?" No disrespect to the writers of "The Pundit on the Desktop," but anyone who works an ACRONYM acknowledges, "AM CORNY."
