In the last 4 SCOTUS sessions, Clarence Thomas has spoken exactly 281 words.
At $194,200 per year that comes down to approximately $2,764.41 per word. When one considers that many of those words consist of nothing more than \"You\'re absolutely right, Mr. Scalia\", I don\'t think the American people are getting our money\'s worth.

Thomas, Gonzalez, and Bush ... has there ever been a moment in this nation\'s history when we the people had three such total non-entities working for us at the highest levels of government? Wrap your mind around that for just a moment. The head of the executive branch, the head of the Justice Department, and one of the most senior members of the judicial branch are not only partisan hacks but complete fucking idiots as well!
