No more guns, god or praying on my tax dollar. Scalia will be cowering and Glenn Beck will be in a forced marriage with Sara Palin

Jon Rauch, you cant stop him, you can only hope to contain him!

If you think your team has it bad just look at Baltimore. They signed Mike Gonzalez for a 2 year/12 million dollar contract and 4 games into the season he has blown 2 games and got booed off the mound. Didnt even make it to the weekend...

Charm city is a tough place. 12 million for a closer for a rebuilding team that won't contend. Angelos is the one that needs to be booed. Then again, at least he is starting to spend some money again.

I think they looked at it more like $12 million for a mid level closer because we have a young staff and having leads blown late doesnt exactly help their development. Truthfully it was a pretty good deal, $6 million is hardly big money for an established closer, the 2 years is even better. Of course that is based on MG not throwing fastballs right down the middle.

Here's how the whole process will go (I wish I could take credit for this list):

A conservative columnist piece slamming the first nominee the Obama White House floats. This will be based entirely on unnamed sources.

Republicans find some routine case and trot it out as an example of how activist the nominee is.

Washington Post columnists write that, while the Republicans are taking it all too far, there are indeed legitimate problems with the nominee’s judicial philosophy.

If the nominee is anything other than a white, Christian, heterosexual male, discussions on CNN's "The Situation Room" about whether the nominee is capable of rendering unbiased decisions.

Rahm Emanuel spends three months trying to convince Olympia Snowe and Lindsey Graham to support the nominee.

Olympia Snowe and Lindsey Graham do not support the nominee.

There is a lengthy GOP filibuster.

NYTimes columnist David Brooks writes about how sad it is that Democrats have destroyed the Senate’s comity and that Obama needs to renominate Robert Bork as a goodwill gesture.
