I was surprised to hear that Harriet Miers was the latest Supreme Court nominee. Some can't get over the fact you have a nominee without any prior judicial experience. It's like you nominated Harry Anderson to the highest court in the land. I'm sure there are advantages to having someone without a paper trail, but my sense is they would end up being a puppet.

The Dems have to put up a fight, because they promised they would. Don't they?

Nicky Cage names his son Kal-El. The date when he will be first picked on by other kids? How about today?

There was a solar eclipse today. Please wear your safety goggles.
