We're going to see a lot of 5-4 decisions...

The NY Times has published an editorial that pretty much sums up my attitude: the truly horrible Bush legacy will be the Supreme Court, a legacy that will last far longer and have far more impact than the wretched Reign of Bush. The Supreme Court is already showing that with its current line-up, and especially with Justice Roberts leading the way, we're heading into radically conservative judicial waters.

Thanks, Supremes, for making certain that we're going to have more Swift Boat garbage during the next election. Thanks, Supremes, for putting a muzzle over the idea of free speech. Thanks, Supremes, for further blurring the distinction between church and state. You hit the trifecta with this sequence of three rulings.

And thanks, GWB, for making it all possible. Your legacy is in place.

What a shame for the country.

First Sighting of Twilight!

Amazon has put up the page for A MAGIC OF TWILIGHT -- the first book of my new fantasy series. No cover yet -- I've not seen the completed cover yet myself, though I have seen a draft of Todd's painting, and I think it will look very nice indeed.

So if you feel the need to pre-order a book that won't be out until February, well, you can.

B&N doesn't have a page up yet, though...
