It’s Friday and time for a little R&R. I hope everyone had a productive week. Last week we lost an American warrior, Senator John McCain, so out of respect for the Senator and his family we did not publish our weekly shoot-the-shit. It’s the very least we could do to honor his memory. Remember that shoot the shits are open to anyone whether you know anything about the subject or not. You can also make unsupported comments, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone you wish or change the subject. So let’s get started.

How many of you watched Judge Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings? I watched all three days and I was exhausted, so I can only imagine what Judge Kavanaugh was feeling. I’m surprised his wife didn’t intravenously hook him up to a coffee pot. Throughout the hearings, it was apparent to me that he’s a decent human being, one that you’d love to have as a neighbor, and an active member of his community. Also apparent was his temperament and knowledge of the law. Democrats on the committee, with exception of Dianne Feinstein – way to go Dianne, were hitting the nominee with question that were insane. It was like being asked: “Do you believe that God can create a stone so heavy that he himself could not lift it.”

Judge Brett Kavanaugh will be a great jurist! I’ll guarantee you that Senators Schumer and Blumenthal will be installing  life support equipment in Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s office, jusssst in case!

Senator Booker, from the great Garden State, took the booby prize. He threatened to release documents marked “Committee Confidential” to reveal racial profiling by Judge Kavanaugh, knowing that it violates Senate rules, and offering to be expelled from the Senate calling it his “Spartacus” moment. Tremendous drama with one minor detail, the documents had already been been released the day before. Well Senator Booker… “If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.” (John Kenneth Galbraith)

Have a great weekend readers. Enjoy some quality time with your buds and family!
