Clarence Thomas is right, on one thing.

There is no way in hell to square this morning's case upholding Oregon's assisted suicide law with last-year's medical marijuana case. Not unless you make some distinctions that are so fine as to be nonsensical. Not that that has ever stopped the Court before. It is noteworthy that the Court did not even try to address this issue in its majority opinion.

Mind you, I think last year's case was wrongly decided.

Side still really sore...

The brace helps, as does the ibuprofen. But the brace (or corset, although it's not at all pretty) restricts movement so that doing housework isn't really feasible, and it hurts to bend if I take it off. Sigh. In fact, it just hurts period. A lot, today.

Oh, no you don't.

No one touches this computer without express permission. NO ONE. I had not even said "yes" to your request to download iTunes videos, so to walk in and see you at my computer actually doing it....

Yeah, I think hiding in your room right now might well be a good idea.

I think I may need to change my password and start logging out when I'm done.

[Edit: I went in to ask him about what it was he wanted to download anyway, and he said not to worry, he had finished downloading things (!?!?!?!?!?!?). He also erased his traces -- the only video on there was my "Law & Order" video. And yes, I know he probably would not harm the computer -- it's the principle of the thing. This is MY baby, not some family computer.]
