Per CNN...

Great to see one of your posts! I haven't run across one in a while.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Thanks for the ping!

BTTT!

RIP

[Moose4]

I'll go you one better. Chief Justice Clarence Thomas, and then appoint Janice Rogers Brown to fill Thomas' spot.

Prayers and condolences to the Rehnquist family. And the poop is, indeed, about to hit the fan in Washington. Stock up on popcorn and pork rinds, folks, it's going to be an interesting autumn.

I just wake up to this news.

As did I, Meekie. May God rest his soul. (Where have you been? I have missed you.)

[Sacajaweau]

He will be deemed one of the great justices of this court.

No accusations of trolldom here, but don't be surprised if you see many original items here. Many FReepers are current or retired newsies. We had lots of Monica stories before they were public, etc.

Recently, we were first, (by about two days) to break story of Jennnings' imminent death.

Also watch "sourced" materiel coming from some places, such as Judicial Watch or DEBKA. JW can be self-promoting. DEBKA makes Art Bell look rational.

May he rest in peace. Prayers for his family.

You're crazy

[tiredoflaundry]

Bahbah, the hurricane has washed out alot of "moles" from their holes and CS broke the lock on the gates of Moonbatropolis!

We better prepare for a "busy" day!

BTW Good Morning!

[DouglasKC]

This has got to be killing the libs. Do they keep trying to push the "Bush did it" lie in New Orleans or do they crank up the "Whoever Bush appoints is the devil" argument?

[ChadGore]

Thoughts and Prayers to an amazing American.

Oh, they're multi-taskers. They can do both.

Prayers for a good man and his family.

Good morning, tol. It is going to be quite a day indeed. Dems going nuts over the fact that the Supreme Court absolutely will change. The realization (something any true conservative could have told you) that creating a cabinet level position and doling out a gazillion dollars for the protection of America is utterly ineffectual. Heck, in my home town they used homeland defense funds to protect pro-golfers at a tournament. We live in interesting times, do we not? I am glad Tony Snow will be back. BTW, we had a lovely FReep yesterday to greet the Shameless Sheehan bus when it rolled into town. It was really fun.

RIP Judge R... thank you for Ping Meeky! Been missing you lately. Hope you are busy & having fun (not sick or computer problems).. off to "dog search" .. then church... then "dog search"

Congrats on the FReep! Any pics?

[Bahbah]

Yes there are pics. I'll go over to the Canteen and ping you to them.

From our illustrious friends at DU:

----

5. Bet he died days ago and they are just announcing it now to try and take the heat off bush. One man has died, well guess what, thousands have died and more are still dying.

----

89. Yep, Rove is very clever when it comes to diverting the media......away from Bush's f**k ups. Now we're supposed to feel sorry for the ol' fart.

----

And get this, fellow FReepers:

26. 10K died in NO
45. More than that will die if Roe v Wade is overturned.

Comparing Katrina to abortion rights!! WTF??

Egad but ain't it true.

And me with a life here needing to be lived.

Guess this news junkee will have to postpone life for a while cause there's thing to see and analyses to be made.
