It's juvenile, but I still get a kick out of The Antic Muse's ongoing insistence that the National Review's group blog "The Corner" is gay. Which sets the stage for today's suggestion that Antonin Scalia is gay. More seriously, she notes that, in Scalia's dissenting opinion supporting laws against gay sex, he warns that the logic used to overturn Bowers v. Hardwick could also be applied to Roe v. Wade.

My other favorite post on today's Supreme Court decision is from Daily Kos, who says, in essence: "Scalia thinks today's decision will require the court to allow same-sex marriage. He's right! Woo hoo!"

Hem, I just realized I used to sort of know the Antic Muse. Sometimes my world is creepily small.

jfb is just one of the people on my list to link to that Antic Muse piece. And don't get me started on all the creepy small things in my life.

Do I know you?

1) Insisting that the Corner folks are gay is not "juvenile," it's hyperbole in response to their hysteria. And sort of juvenile, ok.

2) I also like to knit, but I don't know if I know this Emma lady. She seems nice, though.

Love,

Heh. When I said "juvenile" I was mostly referring to the way I started giggling when I read your posts. You're right, Emma is nice.

Well, "sort of know..." We went to a few shows together in, erm, summer of 1994 (now that makes me feel old), in company with Seth Sanders. I was in the process of dropping out of music theory grad school at University of Chicago, was then a subscriber to chugchanga and sick-n-tired lists. I think we talked about Berkeley (my hometown and where you were going to school soon) a fair bit. I was Emma Armstrong (and occasionally "the demi-goddess of pastry") back then, too.

This sort of thing happens a lot when bigots try to use sarcasm to reinforce their points. It just doesn't work. Like the whole Santorum thing. When you're wrong to begin with, sarcasm makes you right.
