This just in- the Supreme court overturned Sodomy laws by a 6-3 vote. The court opinions probably make for some strange reading. There are probably people who will read the ruling with heavy breathing.

You have to wonder how many couples never discuss current events, and suddenly the husband tries to make small-talk by mentioning the Supreme Court has been busy. The wife looks at him lovingly and says, "Legal doesn't mean mandatory. You have a better chance of getting me to memorize the Chicago Cubs roster. Don't go there, cuz you ain't going there. Honey, I will kill you first. " End of discussion. Uneasy silence. "Hey did you hear Sammy Sosa got caught with a corked bat? Um, forget it."

In unrelated news, Strom Thurmond is dead. Or maybe not unrelated. Maybe his wife got even after he got excited about the Court's ruling. Fortunately for you, the Serf does vulgar, but not THAT vulgar.

Before I forget, David Brinkley died. Sure, you know already. Kind of sad though. His career seemed to be one of second billing, 'Chet Huntley & David Brinkley.' Then he dies on the same day as Gregory Peck. "GREGORY PECK died today, we'll run a special tribute later and for the next several days. By the way, David Brinkley died." A day earlier and he would have had a day to himself. In media, timing is everything. Despite how it worked out, Mr. Brinkley is probably handling everything with his customary equanimity and dry wit.

I, on the other hand, will handle the coming day with my customary lack of sleep.
