Umpire Roberts

And now a word from the spouse:

At a recent Senate confirmation hearing, Judge Roberts took a swing at a question by claiming that he would, as Chief Justice, be an umpire rather than a player.

As the founder and (as yet) only member of CHASM (Concerned Humanists Against Sports Metaphors), I invite other acrimonious acronymics to join a coalition. Let SPASM (Serious People Against Sports Metaphors) and ORGASM (Outraged Radical Gays Against Sports Metaphors) and all the other -asms huddle together and hold the line against such gamey rhetoric. Only through teamwork . . . oh, never mind.
