The White House claims that 20 Supreme Court justices had no prior experience as judges before their appointments, including William Rehnquist, John Marshall, Robert Jackson, Louis Brandeis, Lewis Powell, Arthur Goldberg, Earl Warren, Tom Clark, William O. Douglas, Harlan Fiske Stone and Felix Frankfurter.
Finding Good Help (It Ain’t Easy)
The local paper has Help Wanted ads for painters, landscapers, truck drivers, office clerks, cooks, and stretch limo chauffeurs.
What do these postings NOT have in common with the BFOQ’s for appointment to the Supreme Court in Bush’s World?
They all require job experience.

Yesterday, the Red Sox beat the Yankees 10-1, thus earning themselves a Wild Card slot.
While this epic struggle was taking place, the kids and I sanded and sealed the trash bin container.
Letdown
Yesterday, the Red Sox lost a key game against the New York Yankees, and in spite of many hours of preparation, we registered ZERO kids for the Tech Workshop at the annual Harvest Festival.
The latter tells me that we haven’t yet discovered a way to find “our” kids, something we as a group are planning to discuss tomorrow afternoon.
I still believe in what we are trying to do with the Workshop, and fortuntely, a number of people, including at least one local foundation, have told me it is also important to them: providing enrichment opportunities that aren’t currently available anywhere else.

Breaking news about the problems relocating the NO residents from “Edwards Village”:
The challenge for state officials and volunteers helping those who want to stay in Massachusetts is coordinating housing with employment opportunities and transportation.
Gee, when did those geniuses figure THAT out?
Gardener’s Diary
Last week, I finally edged the garden in front of the fence, and put in some cocoa shell mulch to finish it off.
Yesterday, I noticed the mulch had a fibrous white mold, some cause for concern since I don’t want to encourage parasites.
Are We the Only Ones Who Cared?
No, this is not a sermonette about callous “Haves” ignoring needy “Have-nots”: it’s about a house, specifically #11 on the more rural side of town.
Unclear on the Concept
Or maybe I’m the one who’s unclear.
Given the problems the Bush Administration has had recently from betting on the wrong horse, one would think that today’s indictment of former House majority leader Tom DeLay would warrant only a lukewarm reaction from the White House.
