We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

We've got a monsoon out here on the North Shore right now. And, of course, since the drought has baked the ground extra hard, all this lovely wetness is going to run right off into the sewers. Pity.

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

There is a huge divide between urban/rural here in Missouri. Lots of issues come down to St. Louis and Kansas City vs. the rest of the state.

Illinois is kinda the same way, except Chicago (and suburbs) is so huge compared to the rest of the state that we always get our way.

Southern Illinois is a little scary to me....

Wow, seriously? Totally clear downtown. So far, anyway.

It's not raining here (I stayed home from work today) but I'm watching the big-ass storm coming our way on radar.

Waukegan and the area south of it are getting nailed. We're gonna get ours, but it's gonna be a lot less....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't think Roe will be overturned. I can't see the justification at this point. It depends on a dubious interpretation of the Constitution-- that much is true, and so the Rust brief wasn't too far off the mark-- but it's been such a part of the Court's jurisprudence that it's practically cemented now.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm less confident. Although if Roe is overruled, liberals will be more galvanized than in a long time.

Yeah, which is why many conservatives are wary....

Not the far-right Christians, though.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I see ominous black clouds to the north. Ooohhhh.... Spooky.

If I only had a brain...

Far-right Christians don't like Griswold v. Connecticut one little bit. That's the one that created/recognized "the penumbra of privacy". It made *contraception* legal.

I don't think Scalia does, either.
