Update.

brian1789 is doing better this evening. He's in a lot less pain than he was. They think he may have passed part of the stone -- they're probably going to release him tomorrow (Wednesday evening) or Thursday.

A thought just occurred to me:

I wonder if Scalia is really annoyed at Bush? I mean, why wouldn't he be? Given their ideological brotherhood, one might have expected Bush to nominate Scalia as CJ, then Roberts and one other as associates. Unless Scalia did not *want* the job, which is, I suppose, always possible. Of course, that would have meant three confirmation hearings rather than just two.... and all that added work and everything.

On being poor.

siodchan says read this. I say, not only that, if you have kids old enough where it would be appropriate, have them read it too.
