I hope I haven't killed natter with such a depressing link....
Here's some somewhat good news: Contrary to reports, John Roberts does not belong to the Federalist Society.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I still don't have a handle on Roberts. I was skeptical when the first information came out, but it turns out almost nothing I heard was about Roberts as a judge. So I don't know what to think of the guy. I'm a little surprised about how some of the far right has been so happy about the choice.
Yeah, I'm a little unsure what to think. I mean, I don't doubt the guy's a hard-line conservative. But that was pretty much a given. Ann Coulter hates him, which makes me feel a little better.

How likely is it that Hillary Clinton will run for President next election?

I got to work this morning to discover that Bossman had brought in bagels. Since I got in late, there were only 2.5 bagels left, and all of them were blueberry.
As I was slathering half a blueberry bagel with cream cheese, I couldn't help saying, "JUST EAT A MUFFIN, WHITEY!"

She won't talk about it, but I think it's fairly likely. Supposedly she's leading in polls of likely Democratic candidates.

Ann, that's a ferret.

He clerked for Rehnquist. He left a high-powered law firm to work for Ken Starr.
I don't trust him.

I kind of wish she wouldn't. I actually really like her, and I'm not far off from most of her stances on most things. And I loved Bill so much I still think of him as my President, and would enjoy him being the first ever First Gentleman. That said, I wish the Dems would find some new blood.

Fred, was he working for Starr during the Clinton-hunt, or prior to?

I would feel a little uneasy about the prospect of the 43rd President being the son of the 41st and then the 44th President being the wife of the 42nd.
