Bless that person, from me, who doesn't have anything blessed. But yeah. Some good person.

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

Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who helped shift the U.S. Supreme Court toward a more conservative ideology and strongly supported states' rights during his three decades on the bench, has died.

Yeah, he strongly supported states' rights, except twice during the 2000 election. But never fear; he said those decisions should not be used as precedent.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

More than 400 students have applied to Loyola University Chicago, most coming from its sister Jesuit school, Loyola University New Orleans. Half had been admitted as of late afternoon Friday. Spokeswoman Maeve Kiley said the school "will honor their tuition that they already paid.''

Looks like I'm getting some more neighbors.

I'm wondering when Habitat for Humanity will be able to start working in the damaged areas. I may try to get some friends to go down there with me in January if HfH can use us.

Before I try to absorb any more news I may need to get lost in some fiction for a while. Otherwise I might end up wandering the streets muttering something about a handbasket.

Yeah, but he's a friend of Bush's, right?

All part of Bush's campaign promise to "Change the Tone" of Washington politics. Or something.

eta: OK, he was a "GOP Activist." I forget where I heard that he was a friend of Bush's - I might have misremembered.
