Point 1: Conservative interneters who are comforting themselves in the delusion that John Roberts just handed them a gift by "gutting" the Commerce Clause are just poking through the shit sandwich of today's ruling looking for a pickle.
And think about it: these assholes are comforting themselves that while there still might be an increase in HEALTH CARE INSURANCE OWNERSHIP among the American populace, maybe! maybe! maybe! down the road the court will now! finally! be able to UNDO CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION. And they boo gay active duty military. Special place in Hell, people, special place in Hell.
John Roberts may be a conservative dick, but he considers himself a higher class of people than you Tea Party Glenn Beck ejaculators, and I am convinced that the reason he voted today the way he did is, very simply, he does not want to be associated with you people.
Point 2: Shame on you, Nancy Pelosi, for claiming that Ted Kennedy can now rest knowing that this extremely conservative version of health insurance reform has been upheld by a conservative Chief Justice, while corporations are people even in Montana, and the unemployment rate is above 8 and the national minimum wage is below 8. Ted Kennedy can rest because he's dead. The cause still endures and the dream shall never die and THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER because the greed has not stopped.
Point 3: What The American Bear said. It would have been awful if the in the tank Supremes had overturned this. But this is still a victory for private insurance companies and big pharma. Victory dance, with a twist toward single payer, bitchez.

It's a very nice tumblr blog over at "Blown Covers," inviting artists to contribute New Yorker covers on a theme. This week's theme was "Fashion" for a Fall, 2012 cover and here is my entry:
One of the really nice things about having your own little gallery on the internet is, you can hang your work yourself. So although this was not one of the finalists, maybe because the original photograph is copyright Avedon, or perhaps they don't want politics on the cover in the fall of an election year, (not), it didn't go to waste. (They do ask you to keep entries confidential so I did until the finalists were listed). I'll probably enter future contests as I love New Yorker covers.
Podcast is later today, we recorded this morning. xo
Recorded before Michigan’s male Republicans got their panties in a twist over “the V word,” we talk about sex, sexism, and why the Republican Party’s ethos seems to have a problem just being decent to women. More at ProfessionalLeft.blogspot.com

It turns out someone is selling a service whereby you take a smartphone photo of your own physique in a mirror, and the provider photoshops Nicholas Cage's face onto your body. I don't know why he's not doing the opposite, gluing your face on to Nic Cage's body, but then that's just silly logical female me.
I'm pretty sure this is a guy thing, as is the obsession on Tumblr with Nic Cage photoshops. I'm on Tumblr so I did some to make the other people at the party happy:
I've already said twice on this blog. So when I hear "Liz Cheney Suggests Obama Personally Behind Intelligence Leaks" I laugh and laugh until I puke.
Because here.
So then I made this meanie-shop with a Tina Brown bonus and now I feel better.
I have to give Sally Quinn credit for finding Tucker Carlson launch parties that Scooter Libby can attend unnoticed. The song about "why we invite party poopers" doesn't count in Georgetown.
We discuss the loss in Wisconsin and the loss of Ray Bradbury, and Driftglass gets frustrated that left wing political action depends on volunteers, futons and brown rice. More at ProfessionalLeft.blogspot.com.

On behalf of Crooks and Liars.com, Blue Gal (Fran) interviews comedian John Fugelsang about comedy, religion, and Mitt Romney's "Etch a Sketch" problem.
It took a couple of tries, and do you KNOW how hard it is to find an actual working land line in California these days? Apparently impossible.
I saw John Fugelsang live last year as part of The Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour in Chicago with Driftglass (my own sexy liberal). If you have the opportunity to go, it's a great show.
Thanks very much to Tina Dupuy and Crooks and Liars for the chance to talk to John. He and I have a lot in common what with the religiosity and liberalism and all. :D
