I've lost count, which number opus are you on now?

Shutup and read.

This is technically a de-opus. If he leaves again, that would be a re-opus. Alternately leaving and returning is a rope-a-dopus.

Hey, get off the dogs back! At least he had the courage to come back using his old name, he could have avoided all the sarcasm by changing his name.

Welcome back Dog(just don't do it again!)

Yes, like Rush Limbaugh said, it was a choice made from weakness. But the thing to remember, is that it was not Bush’s weakness, but our own, and that of the people we have elected to Congress that made this happen. Had they been strong, Bush could have selected anyone we wanted.

As I am a believer that we are all responsible for our own reality, THIS statement is quite true.

Although we sparred a little over this, I never was opposed to Meirs, How could I be, I don't know what she stands for. I was disappointed in Bush, and felt this pick did not do him, or conservatives justice.

Now, I still don't feel great about it, because whatever she is, she will be there a long time. The downside is very severe if Bush is wrong. I might feel better if I had your source, but I don't, so I'll just have to continue working on my golf game instead.

For all the Opus bashers, I like to bash a good narcissistic Opus as much as the next guy, and maybe I'm getting soft, but Opus is also a very fine wine.

well, that wasn't really an opus... he's not leaving but coming back... what would that be called? Let's call it a "Howe" in memory of Steve Howe, who came back to baseball about 7 or 8 times after being kicked out for drug usage about 6 or 7 times
