Freud would have had a field day with this stumble (The Psychopathology of Everyday Life). Federalist Society member Roberts, who is opposed to a whole lot of what he thinks Obama represents, intends to follow through on the proper formalities of swearing in his ideological opponent, but is unable to repress fully his antipathy for his opponent. What he wants to say is, “…will execute the President…” what he is supposed to say is, “Will execute faithfully the office of the President…” but his id surges through, escaping total control by his ego, and it comes out, “…will execute the office to the President faithfully….”

Look ahead in two years’ time for Newt Gingrich to be the guiding hand behind the Businessmen’s Plot of 2010….

And there won’t be a Smedley Butler this time– Gingrich already has twelve generals in his pocket.

“To lose the logs of war” apparently refers to the cutting of rain forests to fuel the war machine. /s

It’s the latter. His panties are all in a bunch because there were Senators who voted against his confirmation. One of them happens to occupy the Oval Office…

Well, at least he showed up…and showed up again. And on the 20th so did the rest of the Supreme Court, even Clarence Thomas, with one exception, perpetual 9-year old Samuel Alito.

reagan/bush appointees are gonna make it very hard to get decisions based on people needs over corporate needs

There is a small, nagging, niggling part of me that assumes that the damned filters are Republicans and just get pissed off from time to time!

True enough. But pleased to hear NPR stating it was Robert’s eff up.
