I certainly hope that is the case, tommyrot.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

To see personal and family pain bantered around for political goals is sick making.
Yeah, and the inevitable blovation about this (I totally expect to hear a whole buncha crap from the neo-con Reps and Senators about how "liberal" and "activist" the Supreme Court is - funny that you didn't think they were too activist in 2000) is going to be nausea-inducing as well.

Good morning.
I'd just like to say that people suck.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
A lot of neo-cons whose roots run libertarian are unhappy about congress and the POTUS. It's a rather large slice of common ground that has been finally shining a spotlight on the slimy nature of the current administration. Suddenly, liberals aren't hysterical, we're correct.

BTW, I think that David will love Nadia's flashback hair. . . if he ever sees this week's episode of Alias.
JZ called me to the TV for that very reason.

And no, I don't have time to get into it, even if I could. Gotta go to work, where I get paid to say nasty things about other people's work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well. Probably. And this whole fiasco might cause religious conservatives to redouble their efforts to pack the Supreme Court with radical right justices.
But OTOH, this does expose Republican's efforts to mold the judiciary into their image, so I think some good will come of this as well.
I think the divisiveness of this country is gonna go up a few more notches....

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
A house wren is inspecting the awning over our front door. I'ma have to put on my scary Gardening Hat and go in and out a few times, I think.
"Sorry, little dude, you have to cease work on that structure at once, you don't have the proper permits. Trust me, you wouldn't like it here anyway, too much traffic. Plus, the waking you and the missus up at all hours of the night with the comings and the goings, and disorienting you with the light so you fly inside the house. Although that usually ends well for all concerned, it also leaves me with a messy cleanup. And nobody wants that."
We got monsoon rain, hail, and a tornado last night. Whee! No snow, though.
Hec, I left a sympathetic post in old Natter about Oh Dark Thirty this morning. If you didn't see it, I'm so, so sorry about Emmett's injury and all the gut-churning his family got put through because of it. It's good he's already expecting to attend his team's games. His natural talent and love for the game will take over, and he'll be wanting to get back out there before he's medically cleared to play, I'll bet. Excellent healing-ma to him--and to his adults, too.

Hmm, it may be a semantic difference, but I tend to differentiate neo-cons from libertarian conservatives. YNCMV. In any case, it's the folks in congress who've been pushing and pushing this (and the administration) that I was mainly thinking of.
