It's off topic, but I wish these guys would come back. They were highly entertaining.

They were a radio duo that would prank call politicians. Some really good calls involved "Dubya" , Sarkozy (former French prime minister), and Sarah Palin.

Occasionally, they get it right.

News Alert: Supreme Court says states can be sued for discriminating against veterans


The Supreme Court said in a 5-4 ruling Wednesday that state agencies are not immune from private lawsuits brought under a federal law meant to protect employment rights of returning veterans.

The ruling will strengthen work protections for thousands of state-employed veterans returning to work after service in the Reserves or National Guard.

Le Roy Torres, a veteran and former employee of the Texas Department of Public Safety, had said he could no longer serve as a state trooper and sought a comparable job to accommodate his service-related disability. When he was denied the job, he filed suit under federal law but lost in state courts. He appealed the decision to the Supreme Court.

Yeah but I'm sure they'll take it. Little victories, and as they say, any day above ground...

Aw shucks, one less person to make fun of.

Did they say who they are going to replace him with? If it's the ghost of Margaret Thatcher, God save England.
