The horsepeople of the apocalypse ride again (or perhaps "still").

It's all so perfect. Just as Stepford Judge Roberts made his triumphant entrance during the Rove Fracas, so too does Rehnquist make his exit while New Orleans is alternately drowning, sniping, and burning. Not that it's all a big conspiracy, but damn. What luck. They can focus their Political Machine of Terror on a new nominee, rather than explain why they gave Louisiana $30M instead of $78M, to repair the NEW ORLEANS LEVEES. Damn good thing we have that bridge in Alaska to look forward to, though.

If you need me, I'll be in Switzerland eating my weight in chocolate and weeping.
