The Atheist Communist Caliphate Made Flesh, Spread the Clusterfuck Around Thread

How hard is it to type a fucking coherent sentence?  I'll never understand the need to skip letter in an effort to save 8 seconds.  If your time is that fucking important, don't write it.

8 seconds per keystroke?

With his tongue sticking out.

I think that is the first time we've agreed in this thread.  See?  Obama's bringing us together.

Did Obama fall short on the "lame" vote, cause only lamos watch Jay Leno.  At least go on Letterman.

The U.S. Senate on Thursday confirmed Elena Kagan, a former law school colleague of President Barack Obama, as U.S. solicitor general -- a post that will have her argue the government's position in cases before the U.S. Supreme Court

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elena_Kagan

On January 5, 2009, President-elect Barack Obama announced he would nominate Kagan to be Solicitor General.[5] Before this appointment she had limited courtroom experience (she has never argued a case at trial)[6] and has not argued before the Supreme Court of the United States. However, Walter Dellinger, a top Supreme Court practitioner, stated that would not be a hindrance. "She is a first-rate legal scholar, but she brings much more than that," Dellinger said. "She knows government, and she knows how to run institutions.[7]

So, the person who will be arguing cases for the government in court has no experience in arguing cases in court.  I put it to teh lawyers here, is this something regularly done, or even a big deal?  I don't know enough about courtroom workings to know the answer.

This is a bit of a problem.  The SG has deputies, but still, you want the best trial lawyer in the number one trial lawyer's job.

Its not a trial lawyer's job, its an appelate lawyers job (the skills are different).  I believe she received recommendations from the last 6 or 8 Solicitor Generals, so I don't think its a big deal.

Special Olympics bowler: I can beat the president! 

Mar 20 01:59 PM US/Eastern


ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - The top bowler for the Special Olympics looks forward to meeting President Barack Obama in an alley.
"He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300. I could beat that score easily," Michigan's Kolan McConiughey (KO-lahn Mc-KAHNA-he) told The Associated Press in an interview Friday.

The athletic-minded president made an offhand remark Thursday on "The Tonight Show" comparing his weak bowling to "the Special Olympics or something." He quickly apologized and told the Special Olympics chairman he wants to have some of its athletes visit the White House to bowl or play basketball.

McConiughey, who is mentally disabled, is just the bowler for the job. He's bowled five perfect games since 2005.

The 35-year-old McConiughey has been bowling since he was 8 or 9. His advice for Obama? Practice every day.

I should have said "practicing attorney," but you are of course correct.  Doesn't the SG also have to wear morning dress when arguing before SCOTUS?
