Oh goodness, from whispered rumors to God's ears... RadarOnline is reporting that Chief Justice John Roberts is "seriously considering" stepping down from the Supreme Court "for personal reasons". Roberts, a staunch conservative, was appointed by President Bush and has served on the court since 2005. While RadarOnline doesn't give a reason for the possible retirement, Roberts, 55, has suffered two seizures, in 2007 and 1993. Time magazine speculated in 2007 that Roberts may have epilepsy. However, the Supreme Court said after the 2007 seizure that Roberts was "fully recovered" and a neurological evaluation "revealed no cause for concern." Sources told RadarOnline that retirement announcement could come "at any time." A spokesperson for the Supreme Court has not yet returned a request for comment from Huffington Post. You gotta be kidding me... |

You gotta be kidding me... I'm not. Could be a more pivitol and lasting event than health care reform, if it comes to pass during Obama's term. Getting to name a new chief justice? I'm going to immedately join Seniors for Seizures. Want to make certain Roberts has whatever resources he needs to move on with the rest of his gifted life. |

I figured it was too good to be true. On a more rational note, I read that Sandy Levin has been named acting chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Sandy is a top-notch guy. I met him a long time ago when I worked for the NEA and he was making a run (unsuccessful) for the governor's job in Michigan. Sandy was classy enough to help out a fundraiser for the guy he beat in the Democratic primary, an interesting fellow named Zolton Ferency. The fundraiser was a showing of the movie "Z" - the Costa Gavras thriller. Everyone in politics was far more literate in those days. Now, we have Scott Ingersoll, Herring, Loogy, Jackoff and the rest of the chumps, the literal and cultural illiterates. |

Now, we have Scott Ingersoll, Herring, Loogy, Jackoff and the rest of the chumps, the literal and cultural illiterates. This country has always been illiterate when it comes to politics in comparison to most other parts of the world. We're more interested in Pam Anderson, Amercian Idol and all the iterations of CSI to care about what's really happening in our country. It's been that way for quite a while, maybe since the depression or WWII. Politics has always been a scummy business but the voters weren't always so self-absorbed. Civics isn't taught anymore. Few Americans understand the compact between an individual and society. Not taught in school and certainly not at home. Look at how many Republicans consistently vote against their own interests and in favor of lining the pockets of the rich. There's some indication that youth today are more conscious of politics. Hope they bring their focus on how ****ed up our election and fund raising systems are in this country and put an end to our congress being purchased. |

The brief would be that you have always been illiterate to politics, especially when it comes to you and Krause's orgasmic reaction to internet tabloid journalism. In other words.
