Judith Miller Out Of Jail

War criminal and erstwhile NY Times "reporter" Judith Miller has been released from prison and will name her source sometime tomorrow. Reports are that her source was Cheney aide "Scooter" Libby.

Miller should spend the rest of her miserable life in prison for all of the deaths that she helped to cause in Iraq. She is a contemptible human being and an even worse journalist. All this about "protecting her source" was just a load of crap. After all, wouldn't the journalistic ethics that Miller is suddenly so fond of demand that she retract or correct her inaccurate stories about alleged Iraqi WMDs? However, she has yet to do so. So, Judith Miller really doesn't care about ethics at all except when it is convenient for her. She is a waste of skin.

Thursday Market Report

The Markets had a strong day today. The Dow added 79 points, while the Nasdaq surged 25 points.

We Have A New Chief Justice

John Roberts has been sworn in as the new Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court after being easily confirmed by the Senate earlier.

Personally, I really don't get into much of a fervor about Supreme Court appointments as many others(on both sides) do. No one knows what Roberts will do until he actually starts ruling on cases. There have been surprises before-- aka David Suiter.

However John Roberts turns out, I doubt that he could be worse than that disaster area of a Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia is the biggest disgrace in the history of the Court. Most, if not all, of his opinions are based not on the law, but rather on Scalia's opinion of what the law should be.

Did you wonder why Scalia wasn't nominated as the new Chief Justice? Simple. If he had been, he would have had to answer questions from Democrats about Bush v Gore. And, oh yeah, those questions would have been under oath. And there is no way in hell that Scalia(or Bu$h) would ever want that to happen. So, there was never any chance that Scalia would get the nomination.

Wednesday Market Report

The Markets were sluggish again today. The Dow gained 16 points, while the Nasdaq ended up down 1 point.

Tom Delay Indicted

Tom Delay has been indicted on charges related to a campaign finance investigation. He has been forced to step down as House Majority Leader.

There is nothing really unique about Tom Delay. He simly came to believe that he was untouchable, which led to his downfall.

Delay's primary defense seems to be "attack the messenger". He repeatedly attacked District Attorney Ronnie Earle as a "partisan" and a "fanatic".

I must confess that I am enjoying this rather immensely.

Lynndie England Sentenced

Pvt. Lynndie England has been sentenced to 3 years in prison by a military court for her role in the Abu Ghraib torture scandal.

Meanwhile, Bu$h, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales and the rest of that gang f scum are still running around free...

American Justice 2005 style.
