Rehnquist’s Drug Habit

And for the nine years between 1972 and the end of 1981, William Rehnquist consumed great quantities of the potent sedative-hypnotic Placidyl. So great was Rehnquist's Placidyl habit, dependency, or addiction—depending on how you regard long-term drug use—that by the last quarter of 1981 he began slurring his speech in public, became tongue-tied while pronouncing long words, and sometimes had trouble finishing his thoughts. “Rehnquist’s Drug Habit”

You know even though I’ve been bitching for 15 years that the Supreme Court is a bunch of fucking lunatics who can’t follow the logic in basic English and spend all their judicial time cementing their own petty, biased prejudices where rational decisions stemming from the US Constitution should sit… sigh.

Even after all these years I’m still surprised to see that at least one of them was a drug addict so doped up he could not even speak. And that everyone around him knew it and didn’t say anything.

“Judge Judy” earns more per year than all 9 Supreme Court Justices – COMBINED…

And from what I’ve seen of her show and the decisions coming from the ol’ council of benchwarmers I’d say she earns it.

You say SCOTUS, I say SCROTUS. SCOTUS, SCROTUS. SCROTUS, SCOTUS. Let’s call the whole thing off.

Clinton: “I’m in to win” White House

Unlike most’a the rest’a you phony mother-humpin’ faux-activists, I did leave the country the last time a Clinton was elected. I can’t afford it today. Please, for the love of the devalued ₩on, don’t do this to me.

Jesus Christ, woman. You’re a billionaire! Stop that crying and fix that conniving bitch’s wagon. She’s not even blood kin!

Did you see this?

Yeah, so? He got his heart broken and his side of it is pretty clear. Root? He addeth and He deleteth? Control freak. Hello!

ME

Oh, I thought it was kind of a sweet way to show the geek side of a break-up. How he let her into his box. She might even have had sudo for all you know.

MYSELF

What!? What about my break-up a month ago?

ME

What did you do that was so geeky?

MYSELF

I sold all her shit on eBay.

ME

That’s not geeky. That’s just mean.

MYSELF

But I used the XML from an inventory-tracker Java applet I wrote her to keep track of her shopping and junk to put it all up on eBay with a bulk-lister I wrote in Python. And I advertised the auctions on my new revenge site, my-ex-didnt-orgasm.org. It runs on Rails and it generates random insults and stories about her and a Mexican mail mule. I wrote a blog comment spammer in Perl to spread the word about her damage.

ME

[Cough]

MYSELF

What? Not impressed?

ME

Microsoft is right. Open source is fucking dangerous.

MYSELF

Oh, sudo blow me.

Dear “persons” thinking Pluto is a (major) planet,

If you cannot name the four other known dwarf-planets—or Pluto’s three sister bodies for that matter—you don’t have a leg to stand on. If you aren’t aware that Pluto is just one of 70,000 Kuiper belt¹ objects 100 km or bigger and you aren’t prepared to learn the names of at least say 1% of said 70,000 then also fuck you, you sentimental, anti-science philistines.
