Around the Moronosphere 1/2/10

Doubleplusundead has won the coveted “Longshoreman Award for Funniest Use of Cursewords”. I contribute to DPUD so I would like to claim credit, but the only real cursing that I am involved in is when the other contributors are cursing at me :-)

Catherine Zeta Jones side boob: Sean M must be going for some Rule 5 action. Speaking of which, it appears The Other McCain has moved. I guess I am not the only one who thinks wordpress has a little more potential.

Love him or hate him, Antonin Scalia has had a greater influence on the way Americans debate the law today than any other modern Supreme Court justice. Conservatives hail Scalia as the founding prophet of their true faith — the Jurisprudence of Original Understanding — and the leader of the opposition to moral relativism and judicial imperialism in the age of Obama. Liberals scorn Scalia as a show-off and intellectual bully who is quick to betray his constitutional principles when they clash with his fervent beliefs as a crusader in the culture wars. It’s hard to write a fair-minded biography of such a polarizing figure, but that’s what Joan Biskupic has done with “American Original.”

Previously, US officials have not said publicly that the Northwest attack was the work of Al-Qaeda, though had noted there was a "linkage" with the terror group.
