I would love it a little more if he said it to my boss, but still.
He probably already has

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Burrell, there's a thoughtful article about Scalia's writing excesses here: [link]
Favorite part:
The truth is something closer to this: Scalia is a crank, and not a particularly original one. If his dissents are fascinating, it’s only because there is something curious and sad about a person who holds such a powerful position gleefully writing such garbage. It’s like hate-watching Sean Hannity, only with the added thrill of realizing that the speaker actually has some power over your life.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Scalia was almost the Dean of Catholic University's law school. He may have still been there when I attended. While I would have deplored having him in the building, I would have rather taken one for the team to him sitting on the Supreme Court bench.

Heh, yeah, I get it.
Scalia is a total crank! Not to mention an unrepentant asshole.

Jesse, Roberts was addressing a point made in the majority opinion when Kennedy wrote that marriage “has existed for millennia and across civilizations." And so the articulation of the fact that this is in fact a radical and important change in defining marriage relative to where it had been defined before is less idiotic in that context. Don't bring up millenia and civilizations, even as a set up for counterarguments, if you are going to be annoyed that someone else DEFINES those civilizations.
I do agree this is radical redefinition of marriage. I also think it's a necessary, just, and timely one.

As I suspected, reheating my beautifully cooked shrimp in the microwave does not preserve the perfection of the texture. Not ruined by any means, but not as good.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I have a friend who has political views that are pretty much completely opposite to the rest of our social group, and he has been known to complain that he can't discuss politics with us because "we're all dismissive and mean."
I know, I know. Expecting pesky facts instead of logical fallacies and vomited up Best Ofs from the Fox News comments sections. So mean.
