Hot on the heels of his appalling display from yesterday - Romney: 'We Should Never Apologize For American Values Or Japanese Internment Camps'

The punchline is especially great, since this is exactly what he did when asked how his administration would have handled the attacks:

When asked by reporters what American values are exactly, or what the phrase American values even means, Romney stared at the press, blinked several times, and walked off stage.

I really love this one:

It's Not Okay To Just Start Talking To People You Don’t Know

'In addition, just because you are sitting next to someone you don’t know on a bus or airplane, that doesn’t give you any right to talk to that person, even if he or she is reading a book you once read. The study goes on to state that talking to an unfamiliar person in a setting where the individual essentially can’t escape the conversation is “one of the cruelest things one human being can do to another human being.”'
See, I'm not sure how to take this article. Part of it seems like it could be lamenting the fact that people don't/"aren't supposed to" talk to each other, but then the last line you quoted seems sincere.

To mark today's SCOTUS cases regarding same-sex marriage, I thought this was worth posting:

I Get To Determine Whether Gay People Can Marry (by Clarence Thomas)

quote:

I've spoken maybe two times in the past decade, for Christ’s sake. Think about that. That’s hundreds and hundreds of cases during which I've sat silently and twiddled my thumbs as my colleagues actively interrogated lawyers and posed tough questions about the scope and applications of laws—cases to which I barely paid attention, sometimes appearing to nap on the bench. And I get to have a say in deciding on a constitutional level whether or not all adult members of the human race have the right to recognize their unions? That historic judgment falls on my shoulders?
