It’s Over
Alito Confirmed To Court!
Yea - 58
Nay - 42
The largely party-line vote was 58-42 to replace the more moderate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor with Alito, a federal appeals judge since 1990, came four months after the Senate approved Bush’s first Supreme Court nominee, John Roberts, as U.S. chief justice.
Alito arranged to watch the Senate vote at the White House and was to be sworn in at the Supreme Court later in the day. He was expected to attend Bush’s State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday night with fellow justices.
**Updates**
They’re cracking up I say! Bwaaaaaaaaaa
Misha has some Democrats Underwear Reaction. A Sample to whet your appetite:
Javaman: I weep for our future…
InAbLuEsTaTe: It may be a dark day but the sun will shine again. I’m pissed as hell–maybe more than when the election was stolen from Gore–and I’m going to channel that anger into doing something about the sorry state of our Democratic party.
symbolman: I’m seriously thinking of starting a third party and strange as it may sound I want to call it the “Cool” Party. Coolers.
Stop it. You’re killing me! 
Then, Ankle-Biting Pundits has some more reaction to the story that most people are proud to be an American:
Juniperx (1000+ posts): How is that?
Our health care system is in the toilet, we are losing our civil rights, we have a despot in the White House, the economy is sucking wind, our infrastructure is falling apart, our money is being spent to fund an illegal war...We used to be great.
donheld (1000+ posts) ‘Proud to be An American’ to me is another way of saying “Proud to be an Ignorant American.” Most amerians have not idea what their government is up to and most like their ignorance.
VegasWolf (1000+ posts) I am voting with my feet. The Cayman’s seem like the place to be. This is not the country I grew up in. The economy sucks beyond belief, religious fanatics run amok, the education system is ranked 3oth in developed countries, so exactly what is it to be proud of being an American? Except to some mohawk wearing, civil war flag waving, homophobic personality, can’t spell PhD, redneck person that writes to Free Republic?
The Caymans???? Oh man, I guess Canada isn’t good enough anymore.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
