They’ve announced the cases they are going to hear this session. For those of you tired of reading the many so, so serious posts on many of the cases head over to the Happy Furry Puppy place to read some serious but laced with humor commentary:

The Goddamned Pledge of Allegiance vs. Some Godless Atheist Commie Freak. You don’t really want to know what I think about this, other than you know that it’s going to be used as a political clubbing tool… as evidenced by subtle-as-a-flying-mallet Press Secretary Scott McClellan yesterday:

Well, head over to read what mcClellan said and what the Furry Puppy person does think about it.

Feds lose battle in War on American People

It was a small but important battle that extended back to the Clinton administraton.
In this case:

The U.S. Supreme Court let stand on Tuesday a ruling that the government cannot revoke the federal prescription licenses of doctors who recommend medical marijuana to sick patients.
Without any comment, the justices rejected a Bush administration appeal of the ruling that bars the government from punishing and from even investigating a doctor’s conduct because of a recommendation that a patient use marijuana.

Every little bit helps in this long war touted by administration after administration as the war on drugs but which is really a war on the people.
This particular battle extends back to the clinton administration and demonstrates that republicans and democratics have joined together in this war which has led to 1000s of deaths in our inner cities, that has led to the highest incarceration rate in the world (in the land of the free?), and which at its core attacks the liberty of each and every one of us.

Calling the Callers

Dave Berry riffs on the woe’s of the American Telemarketing Association in yesterday’s column:

That’s correct: The ATA received NO WARNING that it was going to get unwanted calls! Not only that, but these unwanted calls were an INCONVENIENCE for the ATA, and WASTED THE ATA’S TIME!

It’s a shame that they should be inconvenienced. Just in case you want to express your condolences Dave lists another number.
Oh, and see this post from last Friday for more numbers!
