spanking bigots spouting
I would prefer never to see this phrase so close to the phrase "Santorum surges" ever again. Please, it's lunchtime over here.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
JZ, I love you. That is the Catholic Church I want to be a part of. The current version is just driving me away with its intractability and resistance to change. I miss the peace I used to feel when I went to Mass. These days, I'm more culturally Catholic than anything else. My religious practice has become incredibly insular and isolated.
edited for terrible typing.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
So far I'm not seeing any condescension. You're doing a great job of explaining complex and jargon-filled matters of law in clear, lay-friendly terms. No condescension, just blessed clarity. It's almost like you've studied it all and could do it for a living or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love when JZ gets all Catholic.

Aww, thanks folks. In general, Scalzi's blog is a haven of sensibility--at least he does moderate his comments, but it's not precisely a progressive place.
And I do loathe the whole shell-game that goes on with the anti-marriage equality crowd. If a court requires it, it's "judicial activism"; if a legislature passes it, it's "against the will of the people", despite the fact that we live in a representative democracy. And (generally) the same folks who rant about judicial activists overriding the will of the people are perfectly happy with the Supreme Court striking down gun-control laws...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
JZ's church is definitely of the awesome, as well as sexy.

Uhhh... thanks? (I must here confess to a totally irrational hatred for Richard Chamberlain.)
