Oh, boy
ABC News: Rehnquist Hospitalized With Cancer in Md.
I just want to point out that there's speculation that Bush might appoint Clarence Thomas the next Chief. The current Chief is 80 years old, has thyroid cancer, and had a tracheotomy on Saturday. Just something to think about for the next eight days.
By the way, if Rehnquist dies, how will they break the tie when it's time to choose the President?

Rock-Paper-Scissors, that's how.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking; coin toss, rock-paper, something fair.

Since we're civilized, pistols at dawn won't do. Rock-Paper-Scissors in a "Best Two out of Three" tournament ensures that the man with the best strategic thinking and luck makes it into the White House.
It's either that or a pie-eating contest.

Sources tell me that the art and music directors at CNN are scrambling to put together their "Constitutional Crisis 2004!" montage.

Oh god. I know it's an overused cliche, but this really is a circus. I guess there's really nothing to do but sick back, enjoy a beer, and watch the Republic fall on the news.

"enjoy a beer, and watch the Republic fall on the news."
I'd say it's reason enough to mix up some White Russians.

Simple. pResident Pinhead appoints Gonzalez to replace Renquist. Gonzalez votes to install the Torturer in Chief again.
And we watch the United states slip into third-world status...

Our government already rejects the idea of election monitors. I'd say we're slipping.
