Halloween!
President Bush has nominated Judge Sam Allito to replace J. O’Connor. Well, we’ll see. But, when your opposition’s nickname for you is “Scalito” (or “Scalia-Lite”), what are we supposed to say? Pluto has more moons. Cool. So, if one moon is Charon, what will the others be called? See, I figure like this: Pluto was [...]

The Last Weekend of October, or Halloween’s Eve
Hmm, interesting story: due to concerns of the extinction of the beluga, beluga caviar is going to be banned. So, I guess you better eat while you can. (well, not like I eat that stuff). But, there’s almost a cost-benefit analysis – give up your luxury to save a species. Eat other kinds of caviar. [...]

Thursday into Friday
So, the whole big news of the day: Harriet Miers, Supreme Court nominee, withdrew. On the one hand, we could see it coming. She didn’t look like quality; she may be a good lawyer, but she wasn’t the epitome of a nominee. The Right Wingers had to be reassured by the White House’s tack of [...]

Flood of Dreams
It’s officially a Nor’easter tonight. Wilma + Tropical Storm Alpha = a lot of wind and rain. Medium today was quite good – psychic vs. psychic. When does Patricia Arquette actually have a good dream? Comedy news is now officially more effective than major news outlets. The embattled NY Times dubbed The Coubert Report (pronounced [...]

Monday
Interesting article – the White House doesn’t want another Souter. Personally, I just don’t think Justice Souter is such a bad guy and I liked how this article indicated that there were clues that Souter’s jurisprudence wasn’t based on conservatism, but that George Bush’s folks didn’t seem to see it: President George H.W.
