Have to add this,because of some of the negative blow back. Man some of these are bad losers...one justice seems to have lost his ability to speak rational words.

It's my cake day. Other things aren't working out well for me in this moment, but I'm trying to learn to accept that a lot of life is really out of my control.
This was Justice Scalia's reaction on Obama Care. Yup jiggery-pokery is a word I guess. Man this is gonna be an interesting second half of this year.
“The Court’s next bit of interpretive jiggery-pokery involves other parts of the Act that purportedly presuppose the availability of tax credits on both federal and state Exchanges.”
And also that he called the Court’s upholding of Obamacare the result of “somersaults of statutory interpretation.”

Given that part of the logic in upholding Obamacare was
The government does not have the authority to require individuals to puchase a product. It merely has the authority to fine them if they don't.
I fully agree with Scalia accusing Obamacare of involving somersaults of interpretation. I'm less liable to agree with him here though.
Life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
PS: I sold that bike trainer REAAAAALLY cheap. It cost me $350 new. It's still in pretty good condition. But nobody was buying it until I dropped the price.
I'm so bored I'm ready to start a tea party with these five cats I'm baby sitting. Maybe even invite the chickens.

Facepalm moment. I made a second account on lang8 so I could access it from work (don't remember the password for my first account), but also I can post from my mobile without looking things up and don't need to worry about people who might judge me (ie. fellow learners). I have friends on both accounts though, and I just accidentally sent one a message from the wrong account.
Kinda wish I'd at least used the same name. Oops.
夕方に急なにわか雨は「夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は「朝立ち」と呼ばれないの? ^^If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?
