Good Anger vs Bad Anger

by Michaelanne Petrella

Welcome to everything again! Here are two things I've been reading and looking upon. One is horrible and one is so good that I'm still angry about it. Enjoy!

Is there such a thing
as a shit-eating frown?

1. Supreme Court Justice Scalia thinks that being morally-wigged-out by The Gays is his right and is constitutionally sound, and means he can keep them from their rights. To him, it's just like hating murder or bestiality, he said with absolutely no hint of irony. But he's not comparing the two, clarified the man who has been appointed to understand distinctions between things, and the definition of the word comparison. He is simply drawing a parallel between their bans. Both things are equally banned. After a few beats, he offered, Because things aren't "half banned" so that means ban=ban. I'm just pointing out the tautology of words that are identical. Justice Scalia, who has been appointed to decide on the merits of laws, makes decisions based morality in order to showcase that morality is the same as being grossed-out to your very core, but also the same thing as objectivity, he explained while gesturing and knocking over a lit candle onto the table. Olives, for example, he said casually, after putting out a small floral arrangement that caught fire. I'm not saying Olives and Gayness are equally banned. They aren't. Olives are gross and I am morally opposed to their texture, he said after squirting an old Gatorade sports bottle of water all over the flowers that were still smoldering. But, we haven't banned olives...yet, he emphasized with a wink, expecting a polite chuckle from the room, only to be met with complete silence, including the cessation of the clicking sounds from the photographers who had been taking his picture and now were just staring at him with gaping, open mouths. Some of my best friends are Olives, he leaned in to say as the power to the microphone was cut with a loud feedback noise.

2. Speaking of best friends, I'm irate with joy at these two idiots:

Post Script:
Best Accu-Innuendo Hyperboles from the NY Time's Article Michigan Bills Limiting Union Power Pass in Legislature: 

“This is being forced down people’s throats,” said Jon M. Switalski, a Democrat . “It’s being done so in a very poor way — in lame duck with no committee meetings.” 

 
But Rick Olson, a Republican, said the legislation was a matter of worker choice, not of harming unions. Mr. Olson described the move as “tough love” for unions. 

 
Joan Bauer, a Democrat, said she was saddened and sickened by what was happening. “I cannot believe this legislation was rammed through in one day,” Ms. Bauer said.
