As others have commented above, my prediction in the OP was absolutely a sarcastic comment for rhetorical effect. Bricker, this is the fucking Pit, not the copulational GD. So call me a goat-felcher; you’ll feel better.
That said, however, I think it’s not better than a fifty-fifty chance that the research lab will retain that funding beyond a month. If they do indeed retain the funding and I can find a solid citation for that, I will issue an apology as follows:
“I do acknowledge my error and completely and whole-heartedly apologize to the administration: They’re not quite as stupid and hypocritical as I had thought. Wow. You could have knocked me over with a feather.”
Never, ever going to happen. That would require the Bush Bashers™ to actually apply critical thinking to an issue rather than just chanting “Bush is teh suxx0r!!!”. You’d have a better chance of getting blood from a turnip.
You know Bricker, after you predicted that Democrats in the Gang of Fourteen would find “extraordinary circumstances” and filibuster the replacement for O’Connor, I was unable to find any such confession. I know, I know, the last time I asked you about this, you claimed to have done so in several places.
But upon review of your posts following the Alito confirmation, I have been unable to find any confession of error. Several times prior to the confirmation, you said you would have no problem making such a confession, but as far as I can find, you never actually did.
The time has come to either cite your post confessing your error, or do so prominently and publicly, preferably in the original thread.
Of course, if I am mistaken, I will confess my error.
