Obviously as Sotomayor follows the whole of the law as a stranger on the bench will lead to the ashes of American flags when from the shadows 9-11 happens.  Or something.

What is Specialist Cally Henderson Tyrol doing at a New Pornographers show?

*Goes and finds a video of “Sensitive Newage Guys”*... yeah, you’re right Piator. But she’s a Demento Artist / Filker so it’s okay. They don’t have to be perfect. They make it up by being talented… (See Jonathan Coulton and Tom Smith.)

Just the exact opposite of most of today’s pop stars… =P

Oh, I’ve got a hell of a lot of her stuff.  I just had this image of her being some 30s something brunette-next-door, and having her show up looking like your really cool, if susicuosly dyky aunt, is really wierd…
