I'm appalled to learn that Antonin Scalia will be the grand marshal of today's Columbus Day parade in New York.

Scalia was picked by the same people who banned James Gandolfini and other members of the cast of The Sopranos from the parade a few years ago.

Hell, those people only play thugs on TV.

In any case, I'm amazed that the parade organizers could find a float strong enough to hold Scalia's ego.
