GUEST POST: in honour of WHORE ISLAND

Things I learned in the last week:

1.  A majority of the justices on the supreme court DO have cellphones. This turned out to be good for America, for the constitution,for common sense, and for constraining police behavior in a meaningful way.

2.  A majority of the justices on the supreme court do NOT have vaginas; nor do they know anyone with a vagina who works at a Hobby Lobby for $9 an hour. (BTW, have you ever known a woman who refers to her vagina as a Hobby Lobby? Well, now you do. . .) The Hobby Lobby decision is bad for America, for common sense, for those who can read, for women generally (who, once again, are confronted with the reality that a large part of the world's population thinks that reproductive rights are irrelevant to basic health care), and especially for women who have the misfortune of working at Hobby Lobby for $9 an hour.

Did any of you have a conversation with a man today about the Hobby Lobby decision? Did it go something like this?

You: "OOOOOOHHHFDFDkdddfgghghhghag omfg!"
Him: "Well, to be fair. . . "

If this man is at all important to you, you need to let him know that he needs to sort himself out. When men use the expression "to be fair," it is usually the first sign of white-man degenerative disease, which can and does afflict men of all ages. The good news is that Obamacare DOES cover treatment, for men anyway. The only available treatment for women - really, a cureall for all sicknesses - is getting a lobotomy.
