Also, I think it is stupid that Couric changing anchor is on the front of the Baltimore Sun's page.

I really like the way Tom breaks in the new furniture -- slounging and jumping on it. Such a good way to actually enjoy it!

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

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - In a debate with powerful echoes of the turbulent civil rights era, four Republicans running for Alabama's Supreme Court are making an argument legal scholars thought was settled in the 1800s: that state courts are not bound by U.S. Supreme Court precedents.
The Constitution says federal law trumps state laws, and legal experts say there is general agreement that state courts must defer to the U.S. Supreme Court on matters of federal law.
Yet Justice Tom Parker, who is running for chief justice, argues that state judges should refuse to follow U.S. Supreme Court precedents they believe to be erroneous. Three other GOP candidates in Tuesday's primary have made nearly identical arguments.
"State supreme court judges should not follow obviously wrong decisions simply because they are `precedents,'" Parker wrote in a newspaper opinion piece in January that was prompted by a murder case that came before the Alabama high court.
Parker is a former aide to Roy Moore, who became a hero to the religious right when he was ousted as Alabama's chief justice in 2003 for refusing to obey a federal judge's order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of the state courthouse.
Fun.

I'm currently reading April 1865, and the author spends a big chunk of the prologue talking about the nullification issue in the pre-Civil War era. Scary to see it's back!

I need reasons not to be cleaning my office, the way I am supposed to be.

Lovely furniture, Tom! I'm glad it was (eventually) delivered!

There was a power outage in our neighborhood last night. It happened while we were in the middle of cooking dinner, so we ended up getting dinner on our way to dance practice. At least the power was back when we got home.
I got my semi-annual haircut/trim today. Ended up with a new-to-me stylist, as the one I had been going to was no longer there. She did a decent enough job, though I could have done without the shilling for a colorwash and product.
In news that may amuse some, a filker I know proposed to his girlfriend(during her concert set at the con where they were both guests) while wearing a penguin suit.(Not a tuxedo, an actual penguin costume)
