RIP, Bill.

You were the voice of reason on the Court all those lonely years of liberal/country club domination.

Off the subject, but did anyone see Grimsberg last night on T-V She was wearing some kind of white stockings, and white woolen gloves, and some kind of Bat Man Cape, she really looked weird.

Grimsberg and... what's his name... yes, Souter, looked really gruesome last night. Instead, Stevens seems in his 20s!

[LibertarianInExile]

Batman? No, she was wearing her OLD BAT cape.

[Credo]

Instead, Stevens seems in his 20s!

I saw a picture somewhere of Stevens throwing out the first pitch at a Cubs game. He's going to be around awhile.

Gruesome is a good word for it
