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.

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

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.

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.

-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.


Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
