How Is This A Big Deal?

Various groups of tetchy people are all bent sideways that a photo of Elena Kagan playing softball was published. They say it's an accusation that she's a queeeeeer.

To me, it says she plays softball. You know who plays softball? People who want to have a fun game in medium-large groups, which does not require highly specialized, expensive equipment, huge expensive stadia, and with simple rules. Softball and baseball are America's version of soccer football. I remember as a boy watching my Uncle John half-lit on cheap American beer, playing slow pitch with a gang of decent-sort-of-people in a municipal park.

Just because queers play softball, doesn't mean ONLY queers play softball. This is a non-issue in my opinion.

If you don't want her being called a queer, how about telling her to come out as a breeder. No? Then how about we drop the subject altogether? She's hugely unqualified for the position to which she is nominated. If she's a queer or not, that's WAY down the list of reasons why you don't want her as a Justice.
