Links for September 22nd through September 23rd
September 23rd, 2007 by Damon- Justice John Paul Stevens - Supreme Court - Law - Washington - New York Times - He set a record for lone dissents in his first year on the bench, received a dove from Charles Lindbergh when he was 12, saw Babe Ruth’s famous called shot, and considers himself a political conservative. Excellent NY Times piece on John Paul Stevens
- U.S.S. Mariner » Blog Archive » Rotation Building - Dave Cameron crunches the numbers to show that the Tampa Bay Devil Rays actually have a pretty good starting rotation.
- Salon.com | News Wires | Conn. Gov Bans Parole for Some Inmates - No one wants violent crime, but I don’t think that extra 15% of time will make the difference. Typical unthinking American approach to criminal justice issues. Have fun with your budget, Governor.
- Glenn Greenwald - Political Blogs and Opinions - Salon - Glenn Greenwald’s e-mail exchange with Michael Ledeen is quite funny. I adore Greenwald but worry about him having a stroke before the Bush admin is done. That dude’s blood pressure has to be through the roof.
- Online couple cheated with each other | The Daily Telegraph - This one’s a doozy.

It made me want to be a Supreme Court justice. Swim in the ocean every day, telecommute. What a life. And indeed ripe for a Weekend at Bernie’s. According to wikipedia, rumors abound that a third Weekend at Bernie’s is in the works.

Yeah, that was more like Decade with Strom. South Carolina has the ignominy of not just re-electing (multiple times) a white supremacist, but re-electing his corpse–or, as Hitchens would put it, carcass.
