we don't need no stinking principles

Well I applaud Beagles for actually doing some internet research even if he had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do it. 

And of course he feels quite smug about it,  I can hear him dusting his hands as he walks from the computer, justice served.  But that is only because the ruling went for his side.  If it had gone the other way, as who doubts it wouldn't have without the introduction of two toadies to The Supremes, upholding the principle of democracy which is one man one vote, he would have been pissing and moaning and rendering his garment over the injustice of an unelected body deciding something for the people.  I refer of course to the proposed impartial body to fix Michigan's gerrymandering which he had been rendering his garments about earlier in this series of posts.  To wit the principle of elected vs unelected bodies, means nothing to him.  There are no lofty principles in his worldview, if his side is winning or not is the only thing that counts.

I have often referred to Beagles as a constitutional scholar, but once again, as often happens in these ivied halls, I discover that he seems clueless about the basics because apparently he is unaware of the office of the vice presidency.  It is not Trump or nobody, it is Trump or Pence.  It is a loose cannon as opposed to an unloose cannon.  I am certainly no fan of the man, but I have to say this in his favor.  He is not bat-shit crazy.   He would not be measuring strawberries as the ship sinks in a storm he creates daily.  The reasons I don't care for Pence are his inborn sycophancy and his rockhard biblical conservatism.  Both qualities which I think would please Beagles very much. 

And he had the chance, well not Beagles, but the party that he claims to disdain but which he has absolute fealty to had that exact situation in their hands less than six months ago and among their ranks they could not find twenty who would vote against Capn Queeg. indeed there was only one. 

Surely Pence would have looked after Beagles's interests which are simple. guns and making sure that others are never allowed to exercise the rights that he was born into.


I have been corresponding with a former Gage Park classmate of mine and she has expressed an interest in contributing to The Institute.  She is having internet trouble into making comments, so she will be emailing me her comments and I will be posting them.
