I've actually never really been clear what this thread is about. If a celebrity dies, generally there's not much more to say about it in the context of celebrity deaths as a whole other than that they died. Anything other than "x died on mm/dd/yy" is a tangent.
The future of ad-pushing: websites streamed as video, minimal HTML to detect click location. No politeness, just fuck the consumer right in the eyehole.

Uhh... TV?
Exactly. That's what they want. Complete content control.
So... odds on getting a replacement for Scalia before Obama leaves office?
It's a long time before that happens. So my prediction is:
1. Obama makes a reasonable appointment. 2. GOP blocks indefinitely 3. Democracts (if they're smart) blame the GOP for stopping the government and basically force the issue, crucifying them in the media the longer they hold out.
If the GOP actually tries to hold out on this for a full fucking year, it'll tear them apart.
Don't use crucifying like that. To most of America it implies noble sacrifice. If we're going with outdated punishment analogies, I would say it puts them in the stocks.
So, let me get this straight - McConnell is protesting Obama's nomination, before he's even figured out who he's going to nominate, let alone put forward any actual nominees.
Less restrained Obama giving the republicans the purple custard fears.
What I've always wondered is why doesn't anyone try to assassinate Supreme Court Justices? Presidential assassination attempts go back to Jackson, but Presidents only have four or eight years. The only way to get rid of a Justice is death (with rare but some exceptions).

Oh I can tell you. You want to see the scars from when I took on Ruth Bader Ginsberg? That woman is a GOD with a blade.

I've never seen anyone use a scimitar with such flowing grace before or since.

Does this count?
Tonight on GeekNights we discuss celebrity deaths. We also announce that the next book club select ion is Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse.
Edit: removed both TotD links because one is dead and one is now a malware site.
On the other hand....

They'd never go for it.
