SCOTT PETERSON IS GUILTY OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER: Jeralyn Merritt of TalkLeft is doing a LiveChat discussion on the Washington Post site at this very moment. No doubt there will be more stuff on her blog as well. And she’ll be on Hannity and Colmes tonight with more discussion.

My main feeling is disappointment that it’s over: For many, many months I’ve been able to look up at TVs in bars, restaurants, the gym, etc. — and when the Peterson trial was on, I knew right away that there was no actual news to report. Now I’ve lost that valuable tool.
