Kelo and Bush

Well, I was looking for a news lead anywhere in the US press about the same sex marriage law that was passed in Canada yesterday. I didn't find one but I did find some other interesting items. The AP picks up on Freestar Media's bid for Justice Souter's property in New Hampshire under the auspices of the Kelo decision.

It's beginning to look less of a joke and more of a possibility.

"Am I taking this seriously? But of course," said Charles Meany, Weare's code enforcement officer. "In lieu of the recent Supreme Court decision, I would imagine that some people are pretty much upset. If it is their right to pursue this type of end, then by all means let the process begin."

Souter's two-story colonial farmhouse is assessed at a little more than $100,000 and brought in $2,895 in property taxes last year.

Logan Darrow Clements can offer a much bigger tax return on that property with his proposed project the "Lost Liberty Hotel." He's got a serious offer on the table. "Clements said it would include a dining room called the 'Just Desserts Cafe' an a museum focused on the 'loss of freedom in America.'"

It appears the local constabulary is also taking it seriously.

A few police cruisers were parked on the edge of Souter's property Tuesday. "It was a precaution, just being protective," said Lt. Mark Bodanza.

Meanwhile, I also discovered Joe Gandelman at The Moderate Voice has a post listed on the front page of Google News. They linked to an amusing fisk of the President's speech in Joe's inimitable droll style. Next lifetime, I want to be funny.
