I used to only watch Manhattan public access when I got the after-twelve TV craving—specifically “Spic ’n’ Spanish,” the saga of Big Al, a young Puerto Rican man who goes clubbing Monday-Sunday in pursuit of a perfectly shaped female ass to capture on his camcorder.

Upon notifying Scalia of the honor, the club was informed that the Justice, one of the court's most conservative and outspoken, never allows TV or audio coverage of his frequent addresses. However, we assume the C-SPAN crew members who tried to attend the event were welcome to say whatever cusswords they wanted in response...
