    Incorrigible; eccentric; somewhere between mean and average; sometimes only a bit over the top; arbitrarily engaged in cynicism.

    The Supreme Court meets tomorrow to discuss which cases they will hear from the ones which were appealed over the summer. If they decide not to hear Rubashkin's case, his legal avenues are pretty much closed, חס ושלום--unless something totally new comes up, as I understand.

    SCOTUSblog, which is the reasonably respected blogosphere expert on the supreme court, has the case on its list of "cases to watch", which they think have a reasonable chance of being taken.

    Let's have him in mind as we say slichos and daven tonight and tomorrow.

    וישועת ה' כהרף עין. It is a middah of Hashem that he davka saves us when it looks the worst. As it says in Midrash Tehilim:

    אמרו ישראל לפני הקב"ה רבונו של עולם אימתי אתה גואלנו, אמר להם כשתרדו לירידה התחתונה [אותה שעה אני גואל אתכם, שנאמר ונקבצו בני יהודה ובני ישראל יחדו וגו' ועלו מן הארץ (הושע ב ב), אמרו בני קרח בירידה התחתונה אנו], כמה דאת אמר כי שחה לעפר נפשנו
