Yesterday, I read Joyce Vance’s “The Week Ahead<\/a>.” A day late, but since yesterday was Indigenous People’s Day, the week doesn’t start until today. Certainly not SCROTUS’s week – and she includes the SCROTUS week’s calender in her post.<\/p>\n

It amazes me that it seems to have taken so long, and so much more evidence, for so many people to see this. I don’t even remember how long I’ve known this, except that it was sometime in his first (and I hope last) term.\u00a0 I expect Robert Reich<\/a> has known it for a minute also, but this is the first time I have seen him write about it quite this way.<\/p>\n

I think that Wonkette’s Robyn Pennachia<\/a> does a fine job with this story. She manages to make it both laughable and chilling at the same time, which is not all that easy. I have a bumper sticker – I’ve has it for more than 20 years and have always been afraid to put it on my car, here in Colorado Springs, the crazy Christian capital of the West. And people like the one Robyn describes are why. The sticker says, “Jesus called. He wants his church back.”<\/p>\n
