— Gabriel Malor Happy Tuesday.
The Becket Fund filed the Little Sisters of the Poor's opening brief in the contraception mandate accommodation case at the 10th Circuit last night. Lawgeeks, check it out (PDF). The 7th Circuit, in a 2-1 decision, just denied Notre Dame's request for a preliminary injunction in a similar case on the dubious ground, not even advanced by the Obama administration, that Notre Dame's third-party administrators have to provide the objectionable contraception coverage regardless of whether Notre Dame signs the accommodation form.

California, it is a silly place:
San Francisco property owners could be barred from tearing out illegal residential units under a new city policy designed to preserve housing in the city.
Property owners looking to get rid of a unit that doesn't meet city codes now will have to justify "why they are removing, rather than legalizing," the illegal dwelling unit. "It's odd that the city would want to keep something that's illegal," said Ken Cleaveland, a vice president of the Building Owners and Managers Association of San Francisco.

Not doing something illegal is now illegal. Just think about that for a minute.

This is also an opportunity to explain just what abortifacient drugs are. There just isn't alot of thought put into how contraceptives work and what happens when their primary method fails. The seemingly innocuous birth control pill that has been around for so long doesn't just prevent ovulation, in the event that ovulation does take place it can prevent implantation. In other words, a conceived egg with all the human dna is flushed from the body chemically.

Scott Walker took on Chris Wallace and some dickhole donk governor from Vermont, who looked like a caricature of what you'd expect him to be, on FNS. It was a slatterfest as Walker calmly destroyed both of the cocksuckers. No wonder the commiecrats are sparing no effort to try and ruin him, knowing full well they can stampede the RINOs just by making shit up.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes. Allow me to begin by saying, having perused the ONT, the Baldwin and social network diseases threads, that I hate this fucking country and everyone in it, Horde excluded.
HereÂ’s a Chaplin story:
Chaplin left school by the age of 10, and for all of his life was embarrassed about his vocabulary and education. Much of the Chaplin legend is based on the idea of his “genius;” that this unlettered scamp from the mean streets of London could go on to be the world’s greatest clown. Which is why he wanted people to think that he did everything: wrote, composed, directed, designed, what have you.*
Our story takes place one day in 1931, during the filming of City Lights, when some very famous guests were coming to watch the shooting, including Rebecca West, Aldous Huxley and H.G. Wells. Chaplin has chairs out all ready for them and begins a scene that he hadnÂ’t finished the night before. He has a brick. And heÂ’s about to throw it through a window of a shop when he realizes thereÂ’s a policeman behind him.
They start to roll. And that’s when Mal St. Clair, one of Chaplin’s gagmen**, comes on to the set. “Charlie, I’ve got it!” he called. “None of us could figure out what to do in that scene you were shooting last night, but I’ve got - ”
“Go away!” Chaplin interrupted. Over and over again, St. Clair tried to tell him about this great gag idea, but the Little Tramp – trying to protect his “solitary genius” image – kept shooing him away. Finally, as St. Clair said, “As you start to raise the brick - ” Chaplin screamed, “Get out of my studio! I never want to see you again!”
So Mal left. But just as he reached the exit, he turned around and said, “You’re nothing but a no good quidnunc!”
What many people didn’t know was that Chaplin, every day after lunch, would go to his private toilet, where he kept a copy of The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. He would read a page every day to improve his mind. On that particular day, he turned to “Q” and found the word “quidnunc” circled.
Next to it, Mal had written, “I knew you’d look it up.”
*He didn’t compose in the strictest sense; he would whistle a tune for someone else to score. And Orson Welles – though his credit is “suggested by” – actually wrote the script for Monsieur Verdoux, to take two examples.
**The best-kept secret in Hollywood was that Chaplin used gagmen. Six, in fact.

Can you guess the army's nationality by its ration pack?
Operational ration packs including canned, freeze-dried or pre-cooked food are dished out to many servicemen and women on the front line, providing enough food to get them through 24 hours.
French troops can enjoy venison pate, a cassoulet with duck confit and fish soup. Italians are provided with alcohol in the form of a miniature measure of 40 per cent alcohol cordiale. German forces enjoy liver sausage spread and rye bread.

And this guy again:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Monday he hoped the Arizona governor will veto a bill that would allow business owners to cite their religious beliefs in refusing service to gay people.
McCain in a tweet called on Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) to veto the bill, which passed both houses of the legislature last week. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) sent out a nearly identical tweet over the weekend.
The bill would allow businesses, churches and individuals to cite their religious beliefs as a defense against discrimination claims brought by the government or another individual.

Right. Because freedom of association is sooooo 18th Century.
Try this corollary. Is it wrong to force a black party planner to organize and host a KKK cross burning party?
Would it be wrong to force a Jewish tailor to design and make the uniforms for a neo-nazi crew?
Would it be wrong to force a black sound technician to work the soundboard at a pro slavery concert?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, why then is it not wrong to force a Christian, or for that matter anyone, to participate in an event that is anethema to thier beliefs?

A trio of Republican Arizona state lawmakers urged a veto on Monday of controversial legislation that would let businesses refuse service to customers when doing otherwise would violate their religious beliefs.
The three state senators, who initially voted in favor of the measure, said in a letter to Republican Governor Jan Brewer that the proposal had been mistakenly approved in haste and had already caused "immeasurable harm" to Arizona's national image.
"While our sincere intent in voting for this bill was to create a shield for all citizens' religious liberties, the bill has instead been mischaracterized by its opponents as a sword for religious intolerance," the senators wrote in letter, by state Senators Adam Driggs, Steve Pierce and Bob Worsley.

In this case, I was trying (and failing) to make the point that in the case under discussion here, there ghey "lobby" (thugs, really) are doing the exact same thing as your saying, but, not a peep about that. I thing I maybe misread your post (see first sentence of this one) and thought you were maybe commenting on the Arizona thing.

Sure. Just so long as the city/state doesn't artificially limit the number of cabbies available, and thus deprive me of the opportunity to select another cab.
If the Somali Stickman doesn't want me as his fare, no problem. Just don't prevent me from getting into the cab of his competition.

The 7th Circuit, in a 2-1 decision, just denied Notre Dame's request for a preliminary injunction in a similar case on the dubious ground, not even advanced by the Obama administration, that Notre Dame's third-party administrators have to provide the objectionable contraception coverage regardless of whether Notre Dame signs the accommodation form.
Because they're fucking irreligious assholes who don't understand the first thing about conscience.

How about: If you are in the medical wedding cake business, perform an abortion make a cake for
whoever comes in your fucking store and STFU. Or. Get out of the medical wedding cake biz!
^^ Do you believe that also ?
What if I started my baker, DJ, photographer career long before there was any of this SSM madness ?

Deal? Since you are so willing to tell others who they can & can't associate with, you should be willing to accept that.

>>>>and the steps were structurally sound, I'd 'thin set' the damage, then tile over them with slate. It's kinda expensive, but real pretty and slip resistant.
I did patches to get us through the winter but its all sand and powder, really. Damage is fairly extensive, all corners, some fronts. Honestly not sure if they're solid or hollow as they're very old cast concrete, circa 40s-50s.

Jerry - it isn't about making the fucking cake. It's about a thin-skinned minority trying to force their views on someone else. It's about punishing a person for holding an opinion different than the ever-changing opinions of the Militant Gay Army.
That's right - it wasn't *that* long ago that the same lobby pushing the "marriage" thing was wholeheartedly OPPOSED to gay marriage on the grounds that, yeah, it is a heterosexual construct that has no place in genuine gay society. And now, the story has changed. Why? Because this particular lobby wants to force not just "tolerance" (that was the early threshold), not just "approval" (that too was an early threshold), but celebration and deification of their own special snowflake selves.
Sorry, I ain't buying it. If a private businessperson wants to turn down a gig, I say that's pretty fucking intuitively OK. Instead, we are in the position of having to use the majesty of the law to defend a person's basic right to work or not work for someone he chooses.
And we are in the position of having to guard against feel-good arguments about why forcing someone to do something against his beliefs is just dandy. For fuck's sake, when MEGHAN McCAIN, of all fucking people, comes out with an opinion on an issue, isn't that alone a big giant red flag that the opposite of what she says is the right thing to do.....?

There wouldn't be the need for poorly worded laws if the dimwitted tyrants in black robes weren't twisting the Contitution into a fucking moebius strip that ends up being the antithesis of what the written words clearly communicate.

They asked several bakers until one said no, then sued. That's looking for a fight, and garners no sympathy.

It seems that not even the president’s most fervent and committed supporters want to get too close to ObamaCare. Some of Obama’s most powerful allies — figures including Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé — have stayed in the wings for the enrollment push.
Less than a year ago, Jennifer Hudson, Amy Poehler, and representatives for Winfrey and Alicia Keys were guests at the White House to discuss a strategy to promote the healthcare law.
Many expected this would lead to an advertising blitz full of famous faces. But, with limited exceptions, stars have largely failed to participate in a substantial ad campaign to promote Obama-CareÂ’s new coverage options.
To date, the only noteworthy celebrities appearing on behalf of ObamaCare in national ads are retired NBA players Magic Johnson and Alonzo Mourning, who left professional basketball in 1991 and 2009, respectively.

That is what had been reported previously, yes. They had actually happily sold the gay couple in question other items for other purposes.

Bang spot on. I took the pink panthers at their word when they said they wanted no fucking part of marriage because these sexual supermen didn't want to be constrained by a bourgeois institution. My reaction was "fine; now leave me alone". But that wasn't good enough so now they want a takeback which sounds like the act of a group of people to not take seriously because they don't even know what the fuck they want. And they're not leaving me alone.

Even Obama's most boisterous haters could never have imagined that the rollout would be this bad. Obama was the social media candidate with the tech savvy guys .. only to make themselves look like a bunch of incompetents.

Both of them have had significant health situations: Magic's well publicized being HIV positive and Mourning has had a kidney replacement. It was likely that they were targeted with some "OMG, you owe it to the people to push this" for those exact reasons.

This post is exactly the kind of shit that demonstrates why everybody hates Chicago and its inhabitants.
When Obama's feckless neglect of national security leads to al Qaeda nuking an American city, I hope it is Chicago. That would at least be a silver lining to an otherwise completely horrific disaster.

BTW, I think the law only applies to weddings and similar and not
looking for a birthday cake for e.g. your gay buddy.
You are correct, sir.
