Closed for Monkey Business: Special "The Supreme Court Can Blow Me" Edition
Sorry, but yesterday's news just wiped me out.
Barring the unforseen, regular posting -- a Weekend Listomania, maybe -- resumes on the morrow.
As I recall, it was Nixon who said "If the president does it, that means it is not illegal." Now the Supreme Court has said it will decide if that is true or not. There is no law - there is only power - I used to think that was too cynical.
There is a song about ultimate justice I really like - "Bardo" by Todd Rundgren.

To quote James Taylor, "Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep - Singing works just fine for me."
