Souther’s retiring! Obama will be appointing a new justice!
Here’s to hoping it’s not Rick Warren. If it’s not, the ideological balance won’t shift anything worth writing home about. The same will probably be true for the next likely replacement for Ginsburg. It’s probably too much to hope for to expect a third in the next [...]

Gov. Sarah Palin has a Twitter, akgovsarahpalin. It’s real. Very real.
Here’s to hoping that now that he’s out of office, Ted Stevens won’t be able to lobby for tube-cleaning earmarks, and her tweets will have to be delivered to the continental US via truck.

I offer my own thoughts very quickly. In fact one word: Disappointing. In a couple hundred words: On the balance, I’ve disapproved of the rest of what’s been done–though I also count bad stuff he [...]

…remember you’re not at Notre Dame. Even though Our Lady of the Lake is probably among the most conservative mainstream campuses (their administration refuses to recognize their LGBT group, VM’s status is as precarious as it is here, and and there are several competing anti-abortion student associations), they’re still the target of the Center for [...]

…or can other people see this, too? This–this–this story in the New York Times about a BDSM-gear manufacturer working out of Pakistan?
I think I need to lie down…Finals…getting to me. But if they’re not, this, I think, would be, in its own way, a sign of progress in a region I had alll but despaired of [...]
