One big news story this week is the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. SCOTUS is something that PG usually ignores. Yes, it is important, but PG is not a lawyer, and knows little about the arguments. In addition, Georgia is represented in the senate by two notorious republicans, who seldom think about ITP Atlanta. PG has little say so in this matter.
That did not stop a radio preacher from sending PG an email about Miss Kagan. It seems as though the Miss Kagan did not want military recruiters working Harvard Law School. The radio whiner was offended by this.
PG had gotten annoying emails from this clown before. It seems like once, in 2007, PG heard something offensive on the radio show, and wrote an email about it. The address got on the email newsletter list. PG never asked to receive the email newsletter.
PG was in the middle of a frustrating afternoon, involving car care issues, and was in no mood for unwelcome rhetoric. He sent a reply email to the radio preacher. The next time PG checked the email, there was another message from the preacher. Expecting to find a reply to his comments, PG found a second copy of the original email. PG was upset by this point, and sent a strongly worded message to the radio preacher.
When the preacher sent a reply, there was no word on why he sent the original email twice. Instead, he proceeded to insult PG. “Get some logic and thinking skills of your own and then respond to my letter. Do not send me other people’s thinking that is watery and poorly thought through. You have no point. You merely call names and parrot others.”
PG sent a reply. The preacher’s answer was, you can unsubscribe at any time.
There is a good bit of chatter about Miss Kagan at the moment. To paraphrase a bloggingheads diavlog that did discuss the Harvard recruiter affair, this is what the chattering class does. The BH diavlog referred to felt that the business of the recruiters at Harvard was a minor, symbolic affair, that was not a good tool to “Judge” Miss Kagan by. PG agrees, and said as much in one of the emails to the preacher. This is another point the preacher ignored.
