Activists Seek to Evict Souter From Home.

Huh. Didn't know these guys were still pursuing this. Tilting at windmills, of course, but the press coverage still helps to make their point: eminent domain in 21st Century America sucks.

CONCORD, N.H. - Angered by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that sided with a Connecticut city that wanted to seize homes for economic development, a group of activists is trying to get one of the justices who voted for the decision evicted from his own home.

The group, led by a California man, wants Justice
David Souter's home seized for the purpose of building an inn called "Lost Liberty Hotel."

Ya know, I still think they're going about this the wrong way. Hotel? How bland. I'd go instead for a bar, strip club, or a Fry's Electronics.

Because, let's be honest: nobody likes David Souter, but EVERYBODY loves Fry's.

Obviously turning Souter's old homestead into a strip club won't bother him since he'd no longer be living there. It would only harm his neighbors.

I wouldn't mind getting rid of a prick like that and a tittie bar moving in if I were his neighbor.

Guess It'll just have to go in the trash (sigh)

Posted by: lauraw on January 21, 2006 11:26 AM

We are taking Souter's blighted shack, and burning it, because the locals can get a few nickels more.

You would be wise to sign up and invest with us.

Posted by: Layer Seven on January 21, 2006 12:11 PM

Trying to keep the eye on the ball, here.
The court said that a municipality can discern its own reason for the taking. Real acxtion would be demanding from your locals where their boundries are on this matter, and voting accordingly.

I will say that any court that finds the things "in" the constitution that the court has found in the last two decades should be able to find protection for the average homeowner, however. I will be glad, though, to stay at the hotel when it opens.

Posted by: Tom M on January 21, 2006 12:27 PM

Until these people are affected where they live they will not understand the difference between the theoretical and the real. Between elites and the real, working, middle class of this country. This action by the Supreme Court goes against the fifth amendment.

The Lost Liberty Hotel Group needs to prove that it will be economically viable, for instance by pre-booking an NRA convention.

They had a pledge sign up last summer, where 1500 people pledged to spend at least 7 days in the hotel. A good start.

EVERYBODY loves Fry's

I think I'd let them raze my house and build a Fry's. Even with well-below-market compensation. As long as I get a preferred parking spot up front.

Don't worry, help is on the way. Alito is going to be awesome. The Alito/Roberts combo is the best thing Bush has done. Watch the lefties squirm. One more (Janice Brown) and it's bye - bye state imposed liberalism.

Posted by: fugazi on January 21, 2006 02:05 PM

Watching that mama's boy Souter squirm would be better than a pre-dinner Martini. Especially if they remind him that all of this came about from an "emanation from a penumbra"

Posted by: Enfant Perdu on January 21, 2006 02:31 PM

I hate Fry's.

Let's see, Brennan had the Catholic seat, O'Connor's got the woman's seat, Marshall had the black seat, so we had to find a black guy to replace him. Souter on the other hand has the "???...ahem" seat and we'll have to go out cruisin' public parks at 2 am, see if any of those guys know something about Consitutional Law.

What's a Fry's? I know, I can look it up, but I'm lazy.

Posted by: Muslihoon on January 21, 2006 05:44 PM

Musli, Fry's is a cross between Best Buy and EPO on crack. (EPO = Electronic Parts Outlet.) It sells all kinds of computer stuff, electronic parts (resistors, capacitors, LEDs, etc.), appliances, and so forth.

It's also famous for its poor customer service and stupid resale policies (if something has a price markdown, it's probably because someone bought it, found it was broken, and returned it, and Fry's put it back on the shelf). I haven't had any bad experiences myself, but the stories are widespread.

Posted by: Mrs. Peel on January 21, 2006 06:18 PM

They are true, Mrs. Peel. They are true. Fry's is pure butt.

Posted by: See-Dubya on January 21, 2006 06:22 PM

I can give a nice Fry's example of poor customer service and poor management practices.
A $40 rebate advertised by Fry's. Fry's supplies the rebate coupon at the checkout counter. The coupon is the wrong coupon. The rebate is rejected. It's now too late to resubmit for the rebate. Fry's refuses to do anything except give the customer the right, now outdated coupon.

Customer doesn't punch "manager" or burn down Fry's but thinks seriously that either or both would be a good idea.

Posted by: Lokki on January 21, 2006 06:57 PM

I've had nothing but good experiences at Fry's (though not recently, since they don't have any in Colorado), but maybe I don't notice the bad things since my eyes glaze over with lust whenever I go in.

Posted by: geoff on January 21, 2006 07:22 PM

As a junk store, Fry's is mediocre at best. As an electronics parts store, they suck sweaty donkey balls. But as a way to make Souter realize Americans prize their property? Intregueing...

Posted by: Bill H on January 21, 2006 07:48 PM

I went to Fry's this afternoon. I had to make a small return and waited in line thirty minutes. The patient, oder man in front of me was trying to return a fancy joystick, and the manager was hassling him.

"What I need to know sir, is why there's no manual in the box."

"That's what I'm trying to tell you," the man said through clenched teeth, obviously for the fourteenth time. "I'm returning this because it has no manual included."

I have more stories from my quick trip, but I will sum them up this way:

When it comes to the Fry's customer service, diversity is their strength.

English and Competence are unfortunately not.

Posted by: See-Dubya on January 21, 2006 10:46 PM

Surprisingly, Fry's cust svc in San Diego is head and shoulders above their bay area stores.

Still all minorities working the floor, but different ones.

Interestingly the country I'm currently in would stop functioning w/out the minorities that staff bay area fry's. They're much more cust oriented here than in the US. On the other hand the paper has at least one story/day of one of them seeking refuge in their embassy from their evil employer, so maybe that's how they motivate them.

It would really suck to be Apu in this country - but apparently it's better than staying home.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:
