Casual Soapbox

Casual Soapbox is a blog, the purpose of which is to provide me with a venue to expound upon politics, popular culture, religion, humor, and any other topic that boils my blood. I'd love to say I have big plans for this site, but I don't, except to bloviate pompously, deprecate myself and others, practice my verbal skills, and pathetically imitate popular people I admire. So, if any of that appeals to you, this blog's for you!

Tidbits

It seems Alito's polling (Gallup) a reaction similar to that of Miers. 53% say he should be rejected if it becomes clear he would vote to overturn Roe v Wade. 50% say Democrats would be justified in filibustering Alito. Only 45% say Republicans would be justified in abolishing the filibuster to confirm him while 47% say they would not.

Meanwhile Alito's conservative bonafides are being tested in the media. AP reports a young Alito defended gay rights and privacy rights at Princeton.

And according to a CBS poll, Bush's approval rating is at 35%, the lowest of his presidency in any poll. The poll also indicates the public think the CIA Leak scandal is more serious than Monica Lewinsky, Whitewater, or Iran-Contra.

Good night, and good luck.
