Because sometimes it just works

I fear this is one of those "you hadda be there" moments, but since the awesome desiringsubject said I could post it, I shall.

Last evening I discovered that due to some in-joke, mention of the word "science" caused desiringsubject and bluegargantua to jump up and down in glee in a way that was most amusing and yet vaguely frightening, shouting "Science!" In response to their doing so, I covered my eyes and cried out "You blinded me!"

To which desiringsubject replied, as if on cue: "With what?"

Paging Miss Sakamoto!

For SCOTUS wonks

WTF is wrong with Justice Kennedy? I can understand Scalitomas - they're ideologs clinging to their ideology. Roberts... I don't get him. But Kennedy ought to know better. Really. Why is he so interested in pursuing governmental "efficiency" (*cougheminentdomaincough*) over individuals' rights?

(Context: SCOTUS just basically said "if you're a whistle-blower, expect to get screwed". See http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2006/05/31/justices_limit_whistle_blower_rights/)
