The Change It Had to Come, We Knew It All Along

I'm surprised by this, but then again, I'm not. The nomination of Harriet Miers seemed half-hearted at best from the start and the support of the Bush Administration for its own nominee was never very strong, even in the face of widespread opposition. I would offer you, the reader, some sort of prognostication about who I think will be the next nominee, but so far the choices of the Bush Administration have been varied and unexpected.

In retrospect, John Roberts is an obvious choice, but he was only one of the members on a list of 10-12 potential nominees during the summer. If anyone out there has a strong inclination towards any of the names being mentioned please feel free to share your thoughts.



After seeing the White Sox win the World Series last night I am left in quite a dilemma. In the past two years the World Series has been captured by a team that experienced an 86-year gap between championships only to be followed the next year by a team that has not won the Fall Classic in 88 years. My question is this: Do the recent victories by the Red Sox and White Sox mean that the Cubs will end a 98-year drought next year or are the Baseball Gods the most cruel figures in the universe?

I'm not sure what the answer to that question is, but I know that Rangers fans have not suffered nearly long enough. 33 years? That's a mere blink of the eye.
