Have pissed off a friend, so therefore I am sad today. Also, the Republicans may have the way to get their judicial nominees appointed, and the first amendment has been altered to curb freedom of expression. Addtionally, Howell Gaines has, by virtue of his abandonment of the NY TIMES set back the legitimacy of that paper and, by extention, print journalism for at least the next decade. Television news is about to become the only source that anybody pays attention to. This is a sickening day in Billyhankland.
