I learned something this past Halloween. Eating lots of candy in the morning, followed by lunch at McDonalds, does not make for the most pleasant of afternoons.

Nor does the news that Bush picked an ultra-right wing conservative for the Supreme Court. His name is Alito but he's already been dubbed "Scalito" because he mimicks most of Scalia's decisions. OK, Democrats, time to fight! Let's filibuster his ass!

I hope he doesn't mind being called Scalito. There are far worse nicknames to be called. Like Scooter.

Lastly, happy birthday to Britta!
