News--or Gossip

I don't know how much credence I give to this piece which says USSC Chief Justice John Roberts, only 55, is considering stepping down from the high court.

I'll just say I'll believe it when I see it.

Apparently it is nonsense.

For $13.95 million you can buy this outrageous bit of tacky real estate currently owned by Rush Limbaugh.

I'll admit I kinda like the bedroom with the beach mural and the palm tree bedposts. He must constantly fantasize about Florida.

More Commentary About Bush v. Gore II

Robert Reich finds yesterday's decision absurd since corporations as persons is a legal fiction and says there should be a shareholder protection act.

The decision, of course, had little to do with granting corporations more power; this was about granting the REPUBLICAN PARTY more power and permanent rule ala Norquist and Rove. The 2008 elections pretty much put the GOP on the ropes, and this decision "coincidentally" helps it make a huge comeback.

There is little doubt Chief Justice John Roberts is nothing more than a GOP hack.

It might help if you'd stop hitting the sauce, dumbass.

You're not welcome back, either.

Roman Polanski is basing his move to dismiss the ages-old rape case against him on a documentary about it.

Apparently he is not interested in returning to the United States but wants to be able to work outside of France. He is not able to do this as long as the case is not dismissed.

I didn't think Caroline Kennedy would go to the Senate, and I am sure she has more important priorities.

Now reports are saying she didn't withdraw.

Now they are saying she did.

Sheesh.
