My dear Republican friends, I simply can not resist this......you must excuse me this ode, which came to mind after a discussion with FLH about Glenn Beck. With apologies to Mr. Ginsberg, may he rest in peace. I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed byRepublican madness, Mormons starving . . .

Republicans are out of control.The idiocy that is Glenn Beck weighed in on the Sotomayor nomination with the usual, intelligent comment we hear routinely from right wing fringe. "Hey, Hispanic chick lady! You're empathetic ... you're in!" There is so much wrong with this statement that I don't know . . .
