How's the weather in the mid Atlantic region? I've seen a news report or two claiming 90+ degrees with high humidity.
I sure don't miss that humidity.
Back in the old days when we were nailing shingles for a living right in Finn's neighborhood (Damascus, Gaithersburg) we would bail out to Dickerson Quarry around 11AM and go swimming for some relief. Just floating around with the little sunfish trying to nibble at you. Kinda like a Ray Bradbury story with cute hippie gals skinny dipping thrown in!
Fun summer afternoons and the world seemed a lot less crazy in the early '70s. Nixon's ass was in hot water, Agnew was toast already!
Drinkin' Rolling Rock ponies and a enjoying a fat dube and diving down into some cool clear water and just suspending 20 feet down looking up and enjoying the view. The good ol' days.

I think we're twin sons of different mothers.

Some cooler and dryer today Bob, but the last three days had the heat index over 100.

So the Roberts court says Montana cannot ban corporate spending in elections,
so much for states rights. If further proof was needed that the five corporatist
justices have been bought outright there you have it.

And, that's the Crux of the Biscuit. Corporatism = Fascism. Montana woke up and wanted to do the right thing.....The rightwing coporate machine crushed the effort. ----"NO, YOU WILL COMPLY!!!!!"

In terms with agreeing with their own precedent, the SCOTUS ruled properly. Montana's view was that because of unsavory corporate influence over 100 years ago there, they should be able to ignore Citzens United. I don't (and the SCOTUS) didn't agree with a look-back of a century to justify Montana's action. That said, Citizens United sucks for all 50 states, but it is a Federal issue.
