An Apology

A few days ago I wrote a post entitled "Give the Bastards Term Limits." After thinking about it for a few days, I've decided that calling Supreme Court justices "bastards" was a pretty hypocritical move for a guy who claims to desire less invective and more understanding in our political conversation. So I've changed the title, and I'm an offering an apology here. While I disagree with the Court's decision and its potential consequences anger me, there's no need to go calling people names.

  1. Duly noted, sir. Being an admitted picker of nits, I must point out that while you might think them bastards, presumably 4 of them would agree with your opinion. Perhaps you meant "the bastards five"?

    Also, when calling people names, I tend to lean toward antiquated or downright medieval terms. It allows one to convey his, perhaps, disgust with a touch of humor. You know, knave, hedgepig, clotpole, etc.

    Ooh how about...you mammering motley-minded moldwarp!

    Sorry, rabbit hole.

  2. Excellent point, Aaron. What name would you recommend for these miscreant judges?
