Hobby Lobby wins

By of course a 5-4. I would be thrilled that there is still some modicum of religious freedom, except that more than 40% of what are supposed to be the smartest folks in the room thought it was a good idea to use the force of law to make people to act against their religious convictions.

But make sure you don’t vote in presidential elections, because we want someone in there that can change the flavor of the supremes for the worse, and it only takes one appointment to let them take over. And don’t give me any bullshit about “Romney would have appointed someone just as bad” unless you are GOD HIMSELF, because if you are not, you don’t know. It is certain that Mitt would have acted on his religious beliefs (Which he has, and which are demonstrably strong) in appointing a Supreme. We might have had a 6-3 vote or even 7-2. hell, we might be a tiny increment moved toward taking back the nation.

The dog is not overfond of rain

and is very anxious and drools like a st Bernard when it thunders or if there are fireworks.

We have him cordoned off into the living room, mostly, with a small “fence”. this morning he jumped over it so he could stand outside our bedroom door and pant and drool, and the slime spot I stepped in was not the way I’d like to start my Monday.
