Good times

What's the world coming to when a judge of the US federal circuit proves himself to be sufficiently intellectually absurd that a Medium Lobster can render his most carefully considered utterances fit only for derision, pity or lampooning, in what was probably around twenty minutes of lobster time and a few brief lines? [Answer follows!]

So we don't know what the world is coming to but things like a 2nd Shrub administration in the US, the ascendancy of complete prats and wingnut poseurs in the blogosphere, safe tenure for silly old duffers like Judge Richard Posner on the US' highest courts ..... clearly, the times look good for cartoonists and comedians. Hurray!

Update
Kieran at Crooked Timber ignites a slightly more academic debate on the merits of Posner's latest and deepest.
