John Roberts Versus the Penguins

Dear Editor,
    Many Americans are asking, hmm, why did George W. pick John Roberts, Esquire? Is he as middle-of-the-road as some progressives are hoping or is he waltzing with the current money and power?
    Given that I'm a liberal Texas grandma who just snuck away to see the noble penguins of summer at my local cineplex, frankly, I do see nature and the environment and hard times as the issues of our “wartime” future. People in McMansions still don't realize it, I suppose, sadly, but any species' stress right now is bound to make the offspring's survival harder and harder.
    Oh, Debby doom and gloom. I ask myself every day: What risks am I taking to expose my feelings about everything from industrial hemp to community gardens? Everything from these CNN polls about privacy vs. security to empires in apogee and entropy?
    Oh, Texas. I love the recent Bill Maher "rule": no more presidents from Texas, just stewards of la tierra.
    Would I invite John Roberts to the penguin movie? My guess is he'd be busy attending a tie-and-jacket event, not conserving cotton but, presumably, in his own spiritual way, finding a way out of the Wannsee Conference and into post-Nuremberg Trials. Oh, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, and Artemis, goodness gracious, bless us all.
