Don't let the door hit you

Being a U.S. Supreme Court justice is a lousy gig, according to Clarence Thomas.

"There's not much that entices about the job," Thomas said, answering questions from the public that provided a rare glimpse of the man behind the office. "There's no money in it, no privacy, no big houses, and from an ego standpoint, it does nothing for me."

Thomas, 59, said the position is satisfying because he feels he's serving the public, and he's honored by it, "but I wouldn't say I like it."

"I like sports," Thomas said. "I like to drive a motor home."

Here's a suggestion: quit.

Suck it up until January 21, 2009, and then tell the president to take the job and shove it. Tell him (or her) that you and Ginni are going to follow your favorite baseball team around the country to all of their games, home and away.

Seriously, Clarence. Just bail. You don't need this crap anymore.
