What she said

Crybaby business owners only have themselves to blame

I'll just add that I'd bet real money that these business owners are the first to scream about job-killing taxes when asked to support the public school system. They also seem to have forgotten that once upon time, businesses paid for employee loyalty with good pensions.

Well, it looks like I was wrong

Roberts switched views to uphold health care law

Although I may have been right in this respect - according to the story, the dissent was not originally a majority opinion. That was the part that stuck me - most of the "switched vote" theories depended on the idea that the now-dissent has been written as a majority opinion but was hastily edited when Roberts changed sides. I couldn't imagine Roberts assigning the opinion to someone else, nor could I believe (as one person speculated) that the now-dissent was written by Roberts himself and abandoned by him.

According to the story, he did assign the majority to himself, and the dissent was always a dissent. Nothing was rewritten due to a switched vote. So to the extent I was skeptical of the rewritten-opinion theory, I was right - but I was wrong in that Roberts did, in fact, switch his vote relatively late in the game. The story also explains something that was puzzling - why Roberts and the four wrote separately on the Commerce Clause to make the same argument. Apparently, the answer is simply - spite.

In my defense, at least one person agreed with me!

Because some_stars really enjoyed it

I just watched What's Your Number? Basically, her review was that if you cover your eyes at the misogynistic premise, it's actually a very sweet romance, and Anna Faris's character is pretty awesome.

And I gotta say, I concur. It's surprisingly easy to put the (horrendous) premise in the background, because that's not what the movie is about at all - the movie is about buddies who fall in love (and have I possibly mentioned before that buddies-turned-lovers is my hands-down bulletproof kink? once or twice?)

It's as though someone really wanted to tell a story about a close, intimate, male-female friendship that starts out platonically - and the writer couldn't come up with a single premise for that to happen except with this high-concept, godawful hook. I guess because they figured anything else would end up becoming When Harry Met Sally?

Anyhoo, it really was very sweet, and Anna Faris (who I'd never seen in anything before) was quite adorable.
