    BTW, I just *luurvve* that this case was decided in Iowa

    That means that, for the next five months, the Repubs have got to find some way of depicting Iowa, the ur-heartland state, as Gomorrah-of-the-plains while simultaneously campaigning there. Or, of depicting the (elected?) Iowa Supreme Court as a gang of heinous catamite subversives while sucking up to the Iowa voters. Good luck, wingnuts!

    Note to Bebop-o/Celery: while you're up in that part of the world, you have got to get yourself up the road to CBI (itself a wonderful place) and thence on the ferry to Newfoundland. Dey's good folks up on Da Rock, I tells ya. Maybe the tough weather makes 'em both tougher and sweeter at the same time. So get up there and hoist a few under the pink-white-and-green. I promise you won't regret it.
