NEW VILLAGE VOICE COLUMN UP...

...about the death on Antonin Scalia and the freshly-discovered tradition requiring Democratic Presidents to refrain from nominating SCOTUS replacements while the Republican Party is imploding.  Readers taking a hard de mortuis nihil nisi bonum line, please note that most of the jokes are on rightbloggers and their panic-stricken reactions.

I didn't have room for everything I would have liked to include. John Zmirak's proposed "Keeping [Scalia's] Court Seat Empty — for Years, If Necessary" is in, but I hadn't space for his wow finish:

In the meantime, of Justice Scalia, I feel sure that he is enjoying his reward, and I hope that the Catholic Church recognizes him soon. As they said of John Paul II, santo subito! Antonin Scalia, pray for us.

Shouldn't they work on Ss. Breitbart and Bork first?
