I'm so in shock, the only thing I can say is that I think I'm going to be sick to my stomach.

There are only a few options that wuold be worse than Alito...like 2 or maybe 3.

Has anyone ever NOT been confirmed after the president has nominated them? :/ Looking for hope.... the CNN article mentions that he's earned the nickname Scalito because he's so similar in idealogy to Scalia... that's frightening. Ugh... hardly a replacement.

Yes. That's why they called it "Borking." President Bush nominated Robert Bork in the late 80s (I think the 80s) and the Senate did not confirm him in large part because he was too conservative. HOWEVER, the difference then is that there were more Democrats in the Senate. This time, it'll be a bit tougher. They are going to have to fillibuster, and that will mean the possibility of the nuclear option.

Ugh.

I was lucky enough to see Kathy Griffin last night. She started her act with some celebrating over Scooter. She then said what a moron you-know-who-is. The audience was roaring with support. Then one lone right winger "booed" her.

Kathy responded, "Don't Boo me! YOU WON. You got The Presidency, The Senate, The House, and The Supreme Court. YOU WON! Don't play the I am the minority here.

YOU WON...Shut the F*&^ Up!"

She was glorious. She pulled her pants down for a good ten minutes during one story where she got locked outside in her T-shirt and undies chasing her dogs. Two lesbians saved the day for her!

She was hysterical. I could not breath from laughing so hard.

Now see. THAT could have made today better. Not many things can...but that could have.

I went to see some wonderful early music. It was a program on the connections between early Jewish and Christian music. It was lovely, but it can keep me from trembling in fear today. BLAH.

I keep hearing her scream, "YOU WON...Shut the F*&^ Up!"

It makes it a little better today.

Plus last night, she also slammed Scientology, joked about Celine, poked fun at Bradjolina and her lips, and said "SUCK IT" three times.
I wish I could summarize the Patricia Heaton story. All I have to say is Kathy has our back!

I adore her!
