“We should NOT confirm any Bush nominee to the supreme court except in extreme circumstances”

“Ideologues”.

Now, the positions are reversed.

If you are so inclined, say a prayer for Judge Scalia and especially for his family.

And very, very ODD.

“There will be no autopsy performed, a source familiar with the case confirmed to CNN. The decision for no autopsy was made both by the family and the Texas Justice of the Peace, the source said.”  (’bout a third of the way down)


Ruled a heart attack over the phone….No autopsy…then quickly embalmed (in order to have his remains transported out of state, embalming is required by law)

Perhaps he was “Fostered”. One would have thought that such an important figure would have an autopsy. I mean, it’s not like he was some street guy who influenced or mattered to no one……He was, after all, a Supreme Court Justice.

Sure makes ya wonder. The conspiracy folks will go apeshit over this.

Justice Scalia found dead at Texas Ranch. 

Now, the dude was old, I admit….But….Vince Foster. Or not. I dunno

But still…..One wonders. RIP Justice Scalia.

Barry’s pick oughta be….interesting….and we know that Congress will do what he asks, so…..Before the election?

ETA: Until the Clintons, no one would have thought that. About Scalia being “Fostered”, I mean.
I find that sad.

Don’t drive Honda CRV’s in Boston…

At least, that was the message I got.

When it is time, it is time. Can’t escape the hand of the Fates. Poor lady. Hope it was quick, is all I can say.

are NOT taking the reasonable way out.

Seems the Feds are trying to end this as peacefully as possible. But the folks at the Wildlife refuge don’t seem to be reasonable (or rational). 

These folks appear to be suicidal. They lost, no one rallied to them. Their leaders are arrested (except for Ryan Payne, who appears to be a government agent (I could be wrong))

This isn’t gonna end well…..and it isn’t gonna be the fault of the Feds, either.

Y’know, the Patriot Movement doesn’t need whackadoodles like this.

ETA: Update:: They finally surrendered.  Which was the smart thing….. Having said that, I thought they were “Not afraid to die” and had planned to “fight to the last” and all that.

I am glad that it is finally over.

Seems that since Maine told folks they have to do SOMETHING in order to receive food stamps (at least if  you are an adult with no dependents) that the number of people on the rolls has, oddly enough, dropped by 80%.

Now, if the rest of the country would follow that lead, we’d be able to stop wasting our money on people who have no ambition…

Personally, I think that we should drug test everyone who receives any handout from the government, state, local, or Federal. I’d be willing to be that there would be a similar drop in participation if folks had to make a choice….
