Miers, Miers on the Wall -- Harriet Miers as the human Rorschach test

Carter was a self-described Christian; Miers is described so by Bush and other dependable, faithful Christians.

[Pop Fly]

We don't yet fully know what sort of person Miers is, which is why I think it's pretty important to give here a chance to explain herself at the hearings.

[Revolting cat!]

There was a Harriet lawyerette,
Who by sixty would not marry yet,
She sucked up to royalty,
Who did reward her loyalty,
Appointing yet another suffragette!

[Always Right]

I still see the Miers nomination as a battle between social conservatives and neo-conservatives.

It is really battle between conservatives who are willing to trust Bush and conservatives who do not.

Ground level. The arms are in position as if he fell backwards and they are resting on the ground. There also appears to be a shadow with the correct perspective as if it was on the ground.

Um . . . I have to ask . . . why are you posting to this now?

[Sofa King]

I just saw it.

[w_over_w]

That's cool . . . and your answer is correct.

I see you live in Destrehan . . . how you guys doing post Katrina?

[Sofa King]

Destrehan is doing fine. There wasn't much damage out here; the worst that happened was the power being off for a little more than a week. Metarie is slowly getting back on it's feet, but there are still a lot of closed stores out there.

That's good to hear. I keep in touch with a college buddy (LSU alum) but he's in Covington. I've lost contact with a lot of old college friends that I knew lived in Metarie, Kenner and the Big Easy.

Anyway, we'll keep ya'll in our prayers. Take care.
