    High-Dreck Grinching

    So Clarence finally gets riled up enough to make his voice heard, bully for him. I'm glad he chose to make it on a topic he apparently knows more than the rest of us about (including, "ahem", those who served). Now that we've had our ignorance of the many dangers lurking out there in that big, scary world pointed out to us perhaps Justice Thomas can devote his time to becoming acquainted with a certain fading document. In it I hope he finds, as I have, the reason to love living in this country - freedom.
