– “As more or less everyone has already noted, a lot of people have been claiming that Sonia Sotomayor is a racist, would decide cases based on racial solidarity rather than on the law, and so forth.

When I don’t normally wear makeup somewhere, and I decide one day to put it on, there is always one person to say: “You look really nice today!”
