The Supreme Court of India during the early years of British rule (which employed native pundits to interpret the śastras)?

I hate Peggy Noonan. I can't even indulge in playful snark about Peggy Noonan. She bought into Saint Ronnie early on, based on nothing but his personal presence, and she employed her speech-writing skills (which were, sadly, decent until she succumbed to rich-has-been syndrome) to further the goals of Ronnie's handlers.

I hate Peggy Noonan. I cannot imagine the event or series of events that would make me stop hating Peggy Noonan.

</sorry>

EDIT: Maybe if she personally took out Scalia.

Mitt: "... in the end, I blame society. Society is what made me the way I am" <coughs, dies> Noonan: "No, Mitt, you're just another rich douchebag, just like me"

edit: damnit, someone beat me to it

Praying mantis are beautiful insects with a voracious appetite, and a delight to have in the garden. Being strictly carnivorous, they'll eat almost any insect of a size they can overcome. Waiting in quiet ambush for hours at a time, when an insect comes wandering by they suddenly jump out and attack - always biting the neck first.

Mantids have NO problem with cannibalism and will "thin the herd" themselves. Chris Wallace - you have been warned.

I saw it from my front porch this AM. It was an awesome sight.

I really hope we resurrect more space exploration in the next two decades.

Completely OT, but am so freaking excited to see the Space Shuttle fly over San Francisco this morning.

So...what's the beltway-revered unofficial official book about this campaign going to be called? "Blame Change"? "Tales of the Circular Firing Squad"? "Clusterfuck"? "Dog Shit"?

Discuss.
