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.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. posted by Dave From Garfield Ridge at 10:21 AM
CommentsObviously 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. Posted by: tefta on January 21, 2006 10:50 AM
I wouldn't mind getting rid of a prick like that and a tittie bar moving in if I were his neighbor. Posted by: Johnnywaka on January 21, 2006 10:54 AM

Sincerely. Now who am I going to give this post to? 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. 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. Posted by: Chief RZ on January 21, 2006 12:41 PM
The Lost Liberty Hotel Group needs to prove that it will be economically viable, for instance by pre-booking an NRA convention. Posted by: ras on January 21, 2006 12:51 PM
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. Posted by: geoff on January 21, 2006 01:03 PM
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. Posted by: geoff on January 21, 2006 01:34 PM
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. Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 21, 2006 04:25 PM
Laura-- I am so sorry, my apologies. RWS-- For such a smiling ray of sunshine, you're a bitter, bitter woman. Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 21, 2006 04:51 PM
Laura-- I am so sorry, my apologies. INTERNET - just another tool for the oppression of women in Dave's cruel hands. Posted by: geoff on January 21, 2006 05:03 PM
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. 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 06:55 PM

Lokki personally gives a good example of "posting twice" 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. Posted by: Kevin on January 21, 2006 10:55 PM

Somebody should write a book about the greatest drinking stories of O'Toole, Burton, Harris, and Caine. One of my faves was Richard Harris went on a six week bender in the South of France without telling wifey. Upon return, she's screaming, and he simply replied "why didn't you pay the ransom"?

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED from anon2020 So what, she quit? Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know. NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category. Thanks to Mark1971
Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too. I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
Sh0eOnHead discusses the Psychotic Cult of Lindsay
Real quotes: "This case has me feeling like I'm on Law & Order with you guys!" "We literally binge true crime as a hobby, we've been trained for this moment" Worth the watch. If you haven't seen the genuinely upsetting insanity motivating thousands of women, you should watch this just to see how society is crumbling. Ban TikTok, Trump. I don't care if Barron tells you it's popular with the yutes. It is an evil Communist China op and it is driving women insane.
Dolly Parton tells the story of the supposedly real-life Jolene
As Andrew Branca says, can we see this Jolene, finally? Who was this hottie that was a genuine sexual threat to Dolly Parton? I think this is Fake News personally. When a magician claims he learned a trick from a Himalayan wise man, I don't believe him either. Recent Comments
