Under normal circumstances, news of Rehnquist's cancer would have me atwitter, eagerly anticipating the possibilities for his replacement. Don't get me wrong: I'm against cancer and when someone gets it, I'm sad. But when that someone's resume includes notable moments like a dissent of Roe v. Wade, the sadness is tempered if only slightly by hope that perhaps God isn't really on their side. At least, not completely.

Unfortunately, this news comes on the same day that polls say Bush has taken a five point lead. So I'm left disconcerted that they're right, and that God, rascal that he is, is on their side after all.

When I think about nominees, I reassure myself by remembering that Heinrich Himmler is dead already.


"What? Me worry?"
