Had breakfast. Went to the Post Office to pick up the mail--just an LL Bean catalogue. Don't think I'll be buying anything this year. Went to work. Shredded the constitution. Destroyed private property while pretending to be for the little guy. Generally acted like a worthless liberal douche. Returned home to garden, lunch. Carpe diem."
Before the nomination announcement, talked to Bush who seemed rather bored and looked at his watch a lot. Told him I was a conservative - he seemed to buy it - sucker!
July 27, 1990
Went with Rudman and talked to the Republican Senators - everybody bought the act - told them Sununu would vouch for me & I was still looking for the right girl. Warren and I had a big laugh afterwords. I can't believe how easy it is.
July 28, 1990
A few right-wingers like Buchanan are expressing reservations. Good thing I have NR, Buckley, Kemp, and Bennett to beat them down. I'm now a "conservative homerun" - suckers!
October 25, 1990
Got confirmed - I never would have believed how stupid the right-wingers are. Just a few words from the POTUS and they all fall in line - suckers!
Omigod! I'm in the SCOTUS now! Take that, Sunnunu - teehee. It's so NICE to finally be recognized for being SMART. Like, Harvard smart. That whole committee thing was totally humiliating - I mean, they had my resume, right? Not conservative enough - as if! But now I'm a SUPREME! Just like Tony! Omigod, Diary, do NOT tell anyone that. That little crush was SO OVER after law school, but who knows? Maybe I'll have something good to tell you on that front soon!!!!
Best day EVER!
XOXOXOXO, Davey

Dear Diary, Tony is as ASS. I am NOT sitting next to him in the lunchroom anymore. I mean, like, who would want to anyway, right? I'll show him. . .
"Today, I wrote a boring and basically vacuous opinion that will not stand out in any way or even make much sense to anyone. I hate Washington. I know I'm not very good at my job. I am still shocked that Bush nominated me. I can't wait until a Democrat is elected so that I can retire."
Lol! This blog is the #1 google result for "souter notorious."
Matthew Yglesias's blog is the #1 hit for "souter omigod."
"Justice Souter party time" links to a Politico story about his retirement.
The next obvious google search was "did justice souter ever have any fun in his life?" That linked to a NYT "defense" that includes the following paragraph (comparing Souter and Limbaugh):
Who’s the bigger man: the prescription-drug abuser with the cigar stuffed in his mouth, or the buff older gentleman puffing his way up one of the more strenuous climbs in New England?
I can just see Souter in a hat, chipper grin, upright posture and a walking stick, in neatly pressed shorts. I'd guess Rush is still technically the bigger man, even post-diet.
And finally, the results of "souter crazy" ask "Did you mean super crazy?" Apparently, I did not.
Althouse - We'll be able to read it... in 50 years.
I don't know if I can live that long. I'm going to try. In the meantime, please imagine some Souter diary items.
Move forward to 2059...
As a minor occasion, Chinese officials of the Guanduxtao portion of Former New Hampshire, that they bought as partial collection on the debts they were owed by the Former United States, welcomed the oldest living American lawyer, a Ms Althouse to the former New Hampshire Historical society. Ms Althouse is pushing 110, and in a Chinese gesture of great respect and deference to her age, Ms. Athouse was given a gift copy of the Souter diary, as well as tea and sweet beancake dumplings.
Althouse, already somewhat of a minor celebrity in China for her photos of an America before Ruling Elites caused foreclosure of the West Coast, Hawaii, Alaska, and the controversial choice of Maine and NH to debt collectors (Chinese said NYC was ruined) was most complimentary about the beancakes. Holding up the Souter diary, she said it was something she had waited 50 years to read, but confessed "God knows why", after skimming a few pages of the bland man's bland prose.
Actually, good for him. It's the opinions that count. Why should he make his private life available to anyone if he does not want to? Also if he has some racy secrets to tell, he's showing some class to keep them out of public view until anyone else involved in his life is long dead. Some future academic will get tenure somewhere based in part on this diary. Make them wait, I say.

Cederford, are we talking about the elites that secretly control world finances and believe that the USA has to be destroyed as a prelude to the one world government? If this is the case, I assume that you silently glide among them so you know what they plan to implement on the world stage. You must have attended the festivities at Bohemian Grove. If so you know how beautiful NoCal effects the soul especially the occult practices before the fire of destiny.
Kirby, blank pages.. what a hoot. Maybe there are entries of what I had for lunch.
You know, sometimes Scalia can be such a dick. WHY? I mean it's not like I do anything to him. We pass each other in the hall, nod our heads and move about our business, but sometimes I'll be in front of the vending machine and the bastard will sneak up behind me and give me an atomic wedgy. What the hell?!?
I can't wait to get back to New Hampshire where I can read my books, cozy up to the fireplace with an awesome cup of hot cocoa, and sit there blissfully making people wonder if I'm ever coming back out again.
Went to bar, wore best sweater vest. Tried "pubic hair on coke can" line on woman seated next to me. She moved away, and I was grateful. I hope Thomas is confirmed and we become fast friends, so he can explain Long John Silver line to me. Mother didn't let me watch porn.
Why do I suspect the Souter diary will be more painful than Vogon poetry?
You realize that when they release the diary in 50 years, some law professor will list it as required reading. At that point, the campus suicide rate will skyrocket.
There was once a Jewish seat on the Supreme court. There now appears to be Black seat. According to some, his memoirs will give support to the hypothesis that Sotomayor now holds a seat on the Supreme Court for a minority that is not racial, ethnic or religious.

Why do I get the feeling that some of the pages might be stuck together?

We all try to live another fifty years, and the diary turns out ... blank.
Imagine the comments box.

WOoder if this can ever come back and bite me?"

I'll be 98 in 50 years. I think it would be interesting to read then.

There is a ranch 99 market in San Diego right off of Clairmont and Ruffner near the 805. Is that the one you are talking about?
Is that the one you are talking about?
Yes Sir, that is the one.
Isn't he older than 50 years old? Why not publish the 50-yr-old parts of the diary day-by-day? The blog that time forgot, or something.
Dear Diary,
Can't seem to keep my hands out of my pants today.
I hope no one notices my frantic actions going on under my black robes.

Nice. Another San Diegan. Love Ranch 99. Get lunch there from time to time when I'm back in town.

It's Long Dong Silver. The other is a restaurant.
Will anyone care about Souter in 50 years? Can any non-law professor name a Justice from 50 years ago, besides Warren?
care.exe not found. The file may be missing or corrupt.
There was once a Jewish seat on the Supreme court. There now appears to be Black seat. According to some, his memoirs will give support to the hypothesis that Sotomayor now holds a seat on the Supreme Court for a minority that is not racial, ethnic or religious.
