Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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

This doesn't sound good:

Toobin: Health law 'looks like it's going to be struck down'

The Individual Mandate, at least:

CNN's legal correspondent Jeffrey Toobin reports that the court's conservative wing appeared skeptical of the Obama administration's arguments in favor of the individual mandate provision of the Affordable Care Act.

"This was a train wreck for the Obama administration. This law looks like it's going to be struck down," Toobin said on CNN. "All of the predictions including mine that the justices would not have a problem with this law were wrong."

"The only conservative justice who looked like he might uphold the law was Chief Justice Roberts who asked hard questions of both sides, all four liberal justices tried as hard as they could to make the arguments in favor of the law, but they were -- they did not meet with their success with their colleagues," Toobin said.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The big deal is that the gawker network is making it mandatory for you to use FB, Gmail, or Twitter as an authentication method. They're removing the option you had previously of not tying it to anything.

I thought that option had gone away a long time ago. When I thought about registering before, it was already asking me to use Facebook or Twitter without giving me a way to set up an account another way. Maybe existing users didn't have to do it?

Happy birthday to Noah and Grace!

Allyson, next birthday, we should drag you to Seattle. Clearly.

I SUPPORT THIS PLAN.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It must be noted that San Francisco is closer. But, in general, I fully endorse the Give-Allyson-A-Proper-Damn-Birthday plan.

Happy happy birthday birthday, Noah and Grace!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But, in general, I fully endorse the Give-Allyson-A-Proper-Damn-Birthday plan.

I really support any plan that reduces spending time with people who make you crazy, even (ESPECIALLY) if those people are your relatives.

Happy Birthday, Grace and Noah!

I am having one of those "everyone but me is CRAXY" days.

Yeah, I love all the bookshelves that incorporate seating.
