The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

He did! Sadly, I was two rooms away and didn't get there in time.

I'm pretending this is because he ate too fast, and not something more.

I can't eat rice, so I'm experimenting with couscous instead, which is pretty yummy, actually. Does anybody here use quinoa instead? It seems way pricier at the market, so I'm not sure if I should try it....

Daliah Lithwick's summaries of the oral arguments in front of the Supremes always make me laugh (even when, like this one, I want to cry): [link]

Scalia then points out that the ability of the attorney general and FBI director to do their jobs should not be dependent on the discretion of a district court judge. He pronounces district court judge the way you or I might say serial wife-beater. Not to be outdone, Alito will later wonder, in horror, "How many district judges are there in the country? Over 600? One of those district judges has a very aggressive idea about what discovery should be. What's the protection there?"

That's right. This case is about the Supreme Court justices protecting Americans from out-of-control district court judges and their out-of-control discovery rules.

Oh man, whenever I read recent court rulings (bong hits 4 jesus dude as well as others re: equal protection, student rights, etc.) I just want to throw up when reading the opinions of Scalia, Alito and Thomas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Quinoa is the super food of the future! I'm all about it.
