But can the 9/11 Truth movement please go have their own protests? Every time I see these people at a war protest I am embarrassed for all of us and I just hope they don’t end up on the news. There is no point in debunking their claims here, but people, 9/11 was an inside job the same way dinosaurs died in Noah’s flood. This has been the worst administration ever, but there is no evidence, none, that they actually committed mass murder on that scale (in the US anyway).

The rubber stamp era is over. I bet that Gonzales lasts another week, tops. I’m sure that Bush will foolishly nominate some other crony to replace him. And seeing as how the Democrats seem to finally have realized that no one likes this president it will be the confirmation hearings from hell.

Check out the Times story on Morse v. Frederick, 06-27

A high school senior’s 14-foot banner proclaiming ”Bong Hits 4 Jesus” gave the Supreme Court a provocative prop for a lively argument Monday about the extent of schools’ control over student speech.

If the justices conclude Joseph Frederick’s homemade sign was a pro-drug message, they are likely to side with principal Deborah Morse. She suspended Frederick in 2002 when he unfurled the banner across the street from the school in Juneau, Alaska.

”I thought we wanted our schools to teach something, including something besides just basic elements, including the character formation and not to use drugs,” Chief Justice Roberts said Monday.

But the court could rule for Frederick if it determines that he was, as he has contended, conducting a free-speech experiment using a nonsensical message that contained no pitch for drug use.

…

This case is ridiculous in many ways. However, I think that the two sides are setting up a false dichotomy between seeing the sign as a pro-drug message or as “a free-speech experiment using a nonsensical message.” Why not see it as a pro-Jesus message? This case calls for some scriptural interpretation, if only Scalia would take his originalism seriously.
