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

Paul Broun: Pelosi Is A Domestic Enemy Of The Constitution

At a town hall in Commerce, Ga., last week, Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a "domestic enem[y] of the Constitution."

"When I was sworn into the Marine Corps, I was sworn to uphold the Constitution against every enemy, foreign and domestic," he said. "We've got a lot of domestic enemies of the Constitution and one of those sits in the speaker's chair of the United States Congress, Nancy Pelosi."

Wouldn't it be cool if our government had a Judicial branch that was independent of the legistlative and Executive branches and that could issue rulings if things were unconstitutional or not?

That's my congressman! I am so proud. He also wants to allow hunters to legally import polar bear trophies: [link]

When the winter rains come, I'm going to be cranky.

Winter (or the lack of it) is the only thing I really miss about Vancouver

You mean that's not what the Marine Corps is for? Golly.

Can a person be unconstitutional?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What are you, some kind of socialist?

“Not dead yet!”

I love new appliances, but I've seen too many "luxury" apartments showing off brand-new kitchens that look like they've been lifted straight out of the IKEA catalog.

Exactly! The one thing that I really love about the house we're hoping to get is that while the kitchen was newly remodeled and had the spiffy appliances and granite countertops, it didn't look like it had been lifted out of a catalog. It had some personality to it, with the lighting fixtures and the drawer pulls-- little things that really contributed to give it a sense of whimsy.

Heh. It's funny that our Supreme Court is dominated by conservatives, and yet that's not good enough for these people....

I like the first sentence of this blog post:

Is this the world's first voice-activated coffee machine?

I don't know, but if I can just scream "coffee!" from my bed and wake up to a freshly brewed cup then I'm sold.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks tommy!

Just got back from getting the estimate on fixing my bumper. A month's rent. Oy. I definitely can't do that right away. Need to find a way to patch it in the meanwhile. It's going to look like crap whatever I do, but I can't have it being dangerous.
