Thursday roundup.

* In the Safford v. Redding case that got so much attention around the time of the Sotomayor nomination, the Supreme Court has ruled 8-1 that strip searching a thirteen-year-old girl on the word of another student in search of ibuprofen is unconstitutional. Clarence Thomas was the lone dissent, issuing a Cassandra-like warning of the plague of pills in underpants that is sure to follow. If we will not strip search our thirteen-year-olds, I ask you, who will?

* Nudism is the new Green.

* 'Seeking a tougher climate bill, green groups set eyes on the Senate.' So, giving up then.

* If anything it's amazing Tim Burton waited this long to do Alice in Wonderland.

* My "Haloscan is broken" AskMe went completely unanswered. Haloscan remains broken. Situation dire. Hope lost.

* Some screenshots of Fox News party-ID follies. From Cynical-C.

The Queen of Hearts apparently attends McCain/Palin rallies now.

As seen at recent McCain events, this afternoon's crowd was vocal in their support for McCain and their anger with Senator Obama. At one point one man could be heard yelling, "Off with his head," when McCain spoke about Obama's tax plan. That enthusiasm was even more present during Palin's remarks, and as other observers have reported in the past, today there was a sizeable number of people making their way towards the exit after McCain's running mate left the podium.

The McCain camp is teasing some sort of major announcement this morning—could it perhaps be the long-sought endorsement of Tweedle Dee?

I suppose an erratic campaign is the peril you face when you run the Mad Hatter for president.

Tim Burton's next is the project he was born to direct: Alice in Wonderland.
