Sorry, Momma, but I strained and strained to find another way to say this but it just wasn’t there.

In Scalia’s dissenting opinion, he doesn’t slam marriage equality but choses instead to be a prissy little snot about Justice Kennedy’s opinion.  His attack on Kennedy personally was beneath the dignity of the court and shows how this little man has deteriorated into some manner of totally smug insanity.

Get this —

“The opinion is couched in a style that is as pretentious as its content is egotistic,” he writes. “If, even as the price to be paid for a fifth vote, I ever joined an opinion for the Court that began: ‘The Constitution promises liberty to all within its reach, a liberty that includes certain specific rights that allow persons, within a lawful realm, to define and express their identity,’ I would hide my head in a bag. The Supreme Court of the United States has descended from the disciplined legal reasoning of John Marshall and Joseph Story to the mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie.”

I am certain that Justice Kennedy is not offended by crap like that but it’s just embarrassing.

And then he seems to forget the court overturning the will of the people in Bush v. Gore.

“And to allow the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without representation,” he writes. “But what really astounds is the hubris reflected in today’s judicial Putsch.”

Ya think Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Ginsburg are having coffee this morning and giggling their butts off at this old fool?  I know I am.

It was a 5-4 decision but we’ll take it!

Houston’s Pride Parade is in downtown tomorrow.  If you’re anywhere in the area, you might want to go there.  It is always a blast and I imagine this year will be extra special.

From Kennedy’s opinion —

And on a note to those who think “traditional marriage” and abstinence is the best:  Your crown princess of family values, Bristol Palin, is pregers again and Newt Gingrich is still a whore.

Let the happiness begin again.

Chris Christie will announce next Tuesday.

His campaign slogan? “Oh hell, might as well.”

Just what we need – a rude guy with a bad temper.  I figure he’ll get into a fist fight with at least half a dozen of his fellow candidates.

Hawkins, Texas, is in east Texas between the towns of Hoard, Texas and Hideaway, Texas.  I could not make that up.

Here’s the mayor of Hawkins, Texas, standing in front of the sign welcoming you to the city.

I do not believe that the mayor thinks he’s Jesus but I’m not a expert on this subject.  And as far as I know, Jesus is not a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

It seems that the mayor is adamant that this sign is gonna stay, dammit.

But if those sissy librul east coast snotty atheists make him take it down, he says …

A Texas town is heatedly debating what to do with a large sign on public property that reads, “Jesus Welcomes you to Hawkins,” with the town’s mayor this week stating if their sign comes down, so do all signs across the country referencing Superman.

“If you don’t believe that Jesus existed then he would be fiction,” Hawkins mayor Will Rogers told local television station KLTV. “If he’s fiction, and you want to remove his name from everything, then you have to remove every fiction name from across the country. That means we couldn’t say ‘Superman welcomes you to town.’”

Okay, I just have a couple of things to say here.  First, I believe that Jesus existed and is not fiction.  However, I do not think he welcomes you to Hawkins.  And I’m just wondering why God and the Holy Ghost got short shift of this deal.

Second, why the hell would Superman welcome you to Hawkins?  I mean, if you think about it, and you probably shouldn’t, Superman would be even less likely than Jesus to even know where Harkins is or have time to welcome you.

1,320 souls abide in Hawkins.  Maybe we should move that down to 1,318 since we have deduced that neither Jesus or Superman live in Hawkins as previously advertised.

Thanks to Anne for the heads up.

Here’s the deal.  Michele Bachmann decided not to run for congress again.  I was cool with that.  However, she continues to raise and spend money in her campaign account.  That, I am not cool with.

She does it through a loophole in the law.  Elected officials who leave office are allowed to raise money to pay off any campaign debts. Bachmann claims she has debts of about $4,000 she has not paid to vendors of her last campaign. Okay. Yet she shows $1.6 million cash on hand in the same account. If you can’t pay $4,000 out of $1.6 million … you must be a Republican.

So, she still raises money online and sells her mailing lists.  What does she spend the money on?

… the former Minnesota congresswoman is still raising cash and spending lavishly, dropping $300 on limousines in New York right around Thanksgiving and staying last fall at the luxurious L’Ermitage hotel in Beverly Hills, where most rooms go for $400 a night or higher.

Records show Bachmann for Congress spent roughly $25,000 in the last three months of 2014 on airline tickets, a private club membership and pricey dinners in Washington D.C., Los Angeles and New York. Her campaign even paid $470 to renew the plates on a vehicle in St. Paul last December — weeks before she stepped down from office.

In case you’re wondering how these expenditures have anything to do with campaign expenses, you aren’t the only one.

“On balance, I think there are some specific expenditures that should require an explanation,” said Brett Kappel, a campaign finance lawyer and partner at Akerman LLP in Washington. “The question is, how were these related to her campaign or her duties as an officeholder?”

Time to go on Dancing With the Stars, Michele.

Thanks to Craig for the heads up.
