Damnit, she was one of the saner ones there. With Rhenquist almost at the end of his career, that means Dubya's going to get to choose two Justices.

Agh!

Agh!

AGH!

Review: Destroyer, by C.J. Cherryh

Summary: Bren Cameron, paidhi to the Atevi, who's world castaway humans intruded upon centuries ago, returns home after two years in space with his companions, after successfully rescuing another group of standed humans. Only to find his patron, the Atevi leader that pushed his people into LEO and beyond to claim the human space station that orbited above them, had suffered a coup eight months previously by more conservative factions of the local alliance's government, and is nowhere to be found and possibly dead.

Oh, and it's basically all Bren's fault.

( ...and we will write a note! A very angry NOTE! )
