RIP

On cnn.com today:
Luther Vandross dead at 54 - Jul 1, 2005

“…Of ‘Dance With My Father,’ he once said that title song ‘was very emotional for me and, yes, it is based on my own experience.

“‘It’s not just about losing one’s father, but about missing someone who is gone — for whatever reason — and the longing you feel for that moment in the past when you were together,’ he said.…”

How Supremely Appropriate

On WorldNetDaily, a few days ago:
Supreme Court justice faces boot from home?

“…According to a statement from Clements, the proposed development, called ‘The Lost Liberty Hotel’ will feature the ‘Just Desserts Café’ and include a museum, open to the public, ‘featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America.’ Instead of a Gideon’s Bible in each room, guests will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged, the statement said.

“Clements says the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land because it is a unique site – ‘being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans.’”

Not quite what Supreme Souter had in mind, I’ll wager.
