Vote no on Harriet

David Brooks persuaded me this morning in his column in The New York Times, titled "in Her Own Words" that Harriet Miers doesn't deserve to be a Supreme Court Justice of the United States.  He includes observations written by her as president of the Texas bar that are so vapid and uninteresting that it appears to me to be a disaster to have her on our court of last resort. 

Sub-rant on the NY Times: I apologize for not including a link to the column, but the New York Times has recently introduced something called Times Select, for  which you either have to pay or register as a print subscriber, which I am. But the nytimes.com informs me that I am registered for Times Select but gives me no clue how to get there and apparently has got me registered as two different people with different email addresses. So I gave up rather than spend the rest of the morning trying to figure it out. Go buy a copy of the Times if you don't have one; the column is on the Op-Ed page.

I think Michael Brown, and a few other unqualified Bush nominees and appointees, may be looking for a job.

I too am a NYT subscriber, and the Times Select thing drives me nuts. I can't get in to the site, the main site can't help me, and when I sent an email a couple of weeks ago, their response was to ask me to telephone the help desk for support. Not likely. See you Tuesday...
