Default Gift from Heaven!?

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...

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.

RadarOnLine has pulled the story. Sigh. 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.

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.

Are you trying to be the first kind on your block to believe rumours?
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. "You got pwn3d"
