Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Voting, Supremes, and The Conservative Crack Up

Just in case you were beginning to feel good about this beautiful day, here's 2 pieces to raise your blood pressure.

Guess what party she belongs to: Click here: Governor vetoes bill requiring all voters to show identification | The Arizona Daily Star ®

Someone needs to ask these Supremes to take a moment to review their job descriptions:  Click here: Justice Ginsburg: Supreme Court Considers Foreign Laws, Not Just Constitution
 
But out of kindness to our readers, this one will raise your spirits back up. Whatever drugs Steyn takes, I need some. Re people lining up to oppose Bolton:

"But that goes double when the 59 panjandrums lined up against you are Princeton Monteagle Jr., President Nixon's ambassador to the Spurgeon Islands; Spurgeon Monkfish III, President Ford's ambassador to the Lyman Islands; Dartmouth Monticello IV, President Johnson's personal emissary to His Serene Highness the Monteagle of Keeny; Columbia Long-Playing-Album, the first diplomat to be named by President Carter to the State Department's Name Control Agency; and Vasser Peachy-Keeny, the first woman to be named Vasser Peachy-Keeny. One sees their point, of course: Let a fellow called "John" Bolton become ambassador and next thing you know Earl and Bud will want the gig."  Click here: GOP crack-up? Pardon my guffaw
