another person get gutshot on TV and die almost instantly, I’mna elvis the damned tv.

Apparently the Justice department thinks it can tell churches what to do where hiring is concerned, and the supremes unanimously (yes, even including Kagan) tell them to piss up a rope.

I’m very impressed by this; the first amendment makes it very clear that this is not the business of the government. Apparently even the Liberal Deathstar reported on this, though the lede actually emphasised the ‘Ministerial exception” as though the court granted a special dispensation just this once. Bullshit, NYT. this is not an exception, it’s the law of the land. I’m surprised they did this, but it was, at least, the right thing to do. The first is about the free exercise of religion, it isn’t a guaranteeof freedom from religion for people. Justice dpartment telling a church who they can and who they can’t hire? Just as stupid as calling two men or two women “Married”. It’s not about that at all, of course, it’s a wedge. A toe in the door. Let this slip and the next thing you know Churches are as relevant as Kodak film.

Of course that’s what quite a lot of people want. To the detriment of everyone, believe it or not.

Last night it was “Josie and the Pussycats” only instead of an animated series it was the Outlaw Josie Wales and ten or twelve assorted cats. Same theme song, for reasons unknown. The old woman plays the theme song on an Autoharp, and the cats get into everything. Clint keeps spitting on them and they- as cats will- lick it off, so the cats are all nicotine addicted and hyperactive. Hairballs everywhere. The climax of the movie comes when clint draws down on a bad guy and instead of a Colt, pulls a teacup sized calico kitten out of the holster. The bad guy keels over in laughter, and Clint tosses the cat onto him where it horks up a tobacco laden hairball on his ear.

I gotta figure out what I’m eating that’s causing this.
