a sad day indeed....

A sad day has occured - Halloween IS scary today - because Shrub has nominated Alito for the SCOTUS. Instead of seeking a concensus candidate to replace Ms. O'Connor, he had to placate his base. This is going to lead to a fight, fillibuster, etc., and its going to get MESSY. We shall see what occurs, but I dont think its going to be a very good Christmas season on Capitol Hill....
