BUSH DOES REHNQUIST to deflect attention from Katrina failures. Administration insiders say he will nominate FEMA director Mike "Brownie" Brown for the Supreme Court post.
i wouldn't be at all surprised at this point--God.

Oh crap. This is not good.

Two words:

Orrin Hatch.

Now see if you can sleep at night, America.

I really don't see the difference between Arabian Horses and the constitution of the United States.

nah--Ashcroft.

or Santorum.

Chief Justice "pubic hair in the Coke" Thomas?
posted by amberglow 03 September | 23:33
amberglow: No way it will be Ashcroft or Santorum, but Orrin Hatch isn't out the question, unfortunately. I wouldn't be surprised if Bush pulls a switcheroo and makes Roberts the nominee for Chief.

wendell makes an ultimatum
posted by amberglow 04 September | 00:05
please, amber, you know I'd rather stick to self-promotion...
posted by wendell 04 September | 00:09
i don't want you to go--it's the klansman that should go if anyone. i'm serious. the trolling at mefi is too much.

yhbc, you, Optimus...
posted by amberglow 04 September | 00:22
Well, heck. yhbc stands up next to wendell.

So, q - what's it like, being an ex-well-known MeFite?
posted by yhbc 04 September | 00:24
Oh, cool. I see you get mentioned in MeCha even before you post in a thread! I like this status already!
posted by yhbc 04 September | 00:25
it's not any of you who should be leaving mefi--it's the racist troll, and all the trolls.
posted by amberglow 04 September | 00:28
I've been posting less and less over there, mostly because of the volume of posters. It's like shouting to be heard at a crowded club. Here, it's more like a relaxed dinner party, which is the way the blue used to feel. Add to that the fact that trolls can buy a new identity whenever they please, and increasing amounts of news posted to the front page, and well, we end up where we are now.

It's just as well, I guess.

mathowie needs to lose a bunch of users. he's like the george bush of sysops.
posted by quonsar 04 September | 00:31
it's true q--he needs to be shamed into acting too.
posted by amberglow 04 September | 00:32
No, Matt is more like Clinton, for whom I had virtually no respect, even when I agreed with him. It was way too easy a transition from Clinton to W.
posted by wendell 04 September | 00:39
Bannination ensues.

* yhbc wipes brow *

(and, I thought long and hard about telling matt to "fuck off!", just to see what would happen!)
posted by yhbc 04 September | 00:45
I like how he was banned for telling users to fuck off, not for being a racist jack-ass.
posted by brainwidth 04 September | 00:46
that's just shit...matt's such a wimp--people tell others to fuck off all the time at mefi.
posted by amberglow 04 September | 00:50
oh, fuck off, you flamer.
posted by yhbc 04 September | 01:00
I still say Ashcroft. Or Roy Moore. Whoever it is, I will go out on a limb and say this will be one who makes Roberts look like a flaming liberal.
posted by sisterhavana 04 September | 01:01
(and quiet sets in over the course, as the MeCha crew goes for what could be a record sixth post in a row to use the phrase "fuck off". Let's see how they handle it, Bob)
posted by yhbc 04 September | 01:02
No! sisterhavana blows it, and I counted wrong to begin with. Back to you in the studio, Ted.
posted by yhbc 04 September | 01:03
What pushed me over the edge was "Die New Orleans Die"... Sorry Matt didn't feel the same way.

I'm still pondering my next move...

hmmm... altfilter.com/net/org are all available... maybe indulging my domain buying addiction will make me feel better... but then, I still own metaLiFter.com...

Back on topic, I never doubted that Renquist preferred to die while he was still Chief Justice. He struck me as having that kind of ego.

As for the timing, it is a little suspicious, but hey, this is not a serious as Rex on 'Desperate Housewives' dying, is it...? (self-linking to my excuse for not keeping up with serious stuff lately...)

be sure to use the tag FuckOff!

Rehnquist has actually been dead for 5 days. FEMA just found him. DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff has yet to read about the death in tomorrow's newspapers.
