Looks like he never had a card, though. But he was totally miming it.

Yeah, when he was asked to show his Federalist Society card, he'd just flip out his wallet really quick-like, and put it away right away, so no one ever noticed that he didn't have one.

In non-SCOTUS, non-Federalist Society news:

Researchers now think genetics is the reason cats are such finicky eaters. Scientists in Philadelphia say they have found a dysfunctional feline gene that probably prevents kitties from tasting sweets. Nearly every other mammal has the "sweet receptor" on their tongue that gives them a sweet tooth. "Because cats can't taste sweets, they're cranky," joked one author of the paper to be published in the inaugural issue of Genetics. Researchers say the study will help cat food companies improve the taste of feline chow, but hope it will also enable researchers to better understand food-related diseases such as diabetes and learn how diet influences evolution.

I have ranier cherries. I don't think their tender skin would survive more shipping. I'm afraid I'll have to spare them the trauma and eat them all myself.

It looks like Roberts was a "member" one year.

hmm, well, I feel a little better about that. I've been in situations where I've thought "if I just write them a check, they'll leave me alone. "

Anyone have some lj advice for me? My friends list is stuck - it won't show me anything more recent than yesterday afternoon.

This usually means that someone has posted a quiz response (one of those ones where you c&p a shitload of html into your post). Some of them have a tendency to lock your friends page like that until whoever posted the meme places it behind a cut tag.

(Insert rant about cut tagging quiz answers.)

So if you don't pay your Federalist Society pledge, Big Bird comes after you. </Simpsons>

I think if you're a member of a steering committee, it's a little harder to play that.

Yesterday, I took the kids to a nice shady park. Anyhow we were all pretty hot afterwards because it's freaking hot in the midwest right now and I took'em to Sonic to get some slushes. The woman who brought the slushes remarked that they (the kids) were really cute. My daughter was a little put out by this and I discovered that was because she thought the woman was only talking about Leif. I told her that the remark was meant about both of them and I said they were both cute. Then my daughter replied, "Of course I'm cute. How could I not be cute?" It sort of cracked me up.
