-- Ugh. I think I need to call my bank tomorrow to see if my card number might have been used for more stuff I didn't want. Ew.

-- 10 Reasons We Love Gossip Girl's Dorota: Dorota's my favorite. I adore her.

-- Top 10 Greatest Movie Rants

-- Instruction Manuals for the USS Enterprise

-- Washington DC city council has voted to recognise same-sex marriages conducted in other US states. The downside: Congress has to approve it first. Ugh. (It passed 12-1, the lone dissenting vote coming from four-times-over divorced guy Marion Barry. Yeah, okay.)

-- Antonin Scalia gives a speech that scoffs at calls for more privacy protections. A year later, a law class assignment schools Scalia on why those privacy protections might be important. I believe the phrase is, "Ooo, BURN."

-- The One With The Mismatched Episode Titles This is an awesomely fannish quiz.

-- The Best Sears Kids' Fashions For Spring ... of 1972 I realized when looking at those pictures that in 1972 my parents would have been 13 and 14. It certainly explains why those striped bell-bottoms look familiar -- my dad's wearing them in old family photos. Heh.

-- Wanted: One Supreme Court Justice. Fat Chicks Need Not Apply.

-- Spotted on Not Always Right: (Awww.)

(A customer wanders in and stares around, sighing forlornly for a while.)

Me: “Hello there. Are you okay?”

Customer: *very sadly* “I just miss being able to have coffee.”

Me: “Oh, that is sad! But we do have non-coffee drinks available if you’d like…”

Customer: “It’s just not the same!”

(The customer grabs a bag of ground coffee, opens it and takes a deep whiff. She then shoves it back on the shelf and runs sobbing out of the store.)

Of course, if they judged demographically to get the longest-lived judge, they'd want a female, slightly overweight, tall, urban, upper middle-class, Asian-American judge with no family history of any disease whatsoever. Good luck with that!

Boy, am I not surprised at the sexist shit surrounding the S.Ct. nomination process. You know, for a profession that's so full of people who are equipped to know their rights and litigate for them, law (especially the private bar) is phenomenally sexist.
