Also, as far as we know, Roberts is not pro-torture.

Also, I remember that practically every single little kid who came in wanted a taste of Daquiri Ice because it was so intriguing and blue, but as soon as they got their taste they always looked horrified and betrayed, because it's so much a grown-up flavor.

Heh. I totally remember that feeling. And every time you went in, it just looked so good, it was like they were taunting you.

I was that weird little kid who loved it. Well, little=9 years old for me. It's not like I was a three year old going, "Mumsy, give me the booze-based ice cream, please!"

Yup, Betsy

I was gonna say, I was pretty sure it wasn't me, because I don't think I've ever had it.

I saw someone make a balsamic ice cream (maybe it was balsamic & strawberries) on tv once, and it sounded really good.

I think the really expensive balsamics, the ones people buy by the ounce, for big bucks, are supposedly almost like a liquor or cordial. I can imagine that sort of flavor in an ice cream.

I still don't have a handle on Roberts. I was skeptical when the first information came out, but it turns out almost nothing I heard was about Roberts as a judge. So I don't know what to think of the guy. I'm a little surprised about how some of the far right has been so happy about the choice.

I liked daquiri ice. Everyone else would get the pink bubblegum ice cream. Bleh.

This link is horrible, and maybe a bad way to start off a Friday....

Article on two teenagers in Iran who were hung for homosexuality: [link]

And Outrage, in its release about the gay teens' execution, noted that, "according to Iranian human rights campaigners, over 4000 lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Ayatollahs seized power in 1979. Last August, a 16-year-old girl , [Atefeh Rajabi] was hanged [in the Caspian port of Neka] for 'acts incompatible with chastity,' [i.e., sex before marriage]."

Going to go throw up now....

I hope I haven't killed natter with such a depressing link....

Here's some somewhat good news: Contrary to reports, John Roberts does not belong to the Federalist Society.

Yeah, I'm a little unsure what to think. I mean, I don't doubt the guy's a hard-line conservative. But that was pretty much a given. Ann Coulter hates him, which makes me feel a little better.

How likely is it that Hillary Clinton will run for President next election?
