“If you;re one of these women don’t worry: the (Supreme) Court says it’s still okay for you to sue Wal-Mart — just be sure you hire the best legal team an eight-dollar-an-hour cashier can buy. Because thanks to the Supreme Court, you will have to sue them as an individual — but the $420 billion corporation gets to fight you as a team.” —

STEPHEN COLBERT, remarking on the Supreme Court’s ruling that women may not sue Wal-Mart for sexual discrimination as part of a class action, on The Colbert Report.

Luckily SCOTUS stands up for those corporations, eh?

One has claws at the end of its paws and one is a pause at the end of a clause.

Today in Health class, we were talking about healthy relationships. The teacher asked the head cheerleader why she originally said yes to her boyfriend when he first asked her out, and of course, everyone expected a typical cheerleader response like "he's so hot.". Instead, the girl simply blushed and said "His last name is Riddle, and I thought that if we got married and had a son we could name him Tom Marvolo. That way, I could say Lord Voldemort is my son." The class just stared at her in awed silence. Never again will I insult a cheerleader.

Pitchfork: With the renting versus owning, is it feeling like you're throwing away money or is it the security aspect?
Justin Vernon: I want to be able to write on my walls. I think that's the big thing.
Pitchfork: Do you write on your walls?
Justin Vernon: Yeah.
Pitchfork: What do you write?
Justin Vernon: I don't know, it's dorky. Just like quotes and stuff. Something I want to see everyday or something I want to be there. I don't know. I can put a hole in the wall if I want. It's mine. It's very simple. It's a very tiny house, but I can do whatever I want to. I can rip up the terrible vinyl floor and recycle it. Just create a good space. A quiet place to be. I think that's all I want in life, just like peace and be able to make music and like have happiness when it's time off. Spend time with people and family, whatever. I just feel like why spend all my time doing something that makes me unhappy just to spend my time off thinking about how I have to go back to a job. It's such a vicious cycle that people get stuck in. But I'm also very lucky. I can't sit here too eagerly and say all that.

“Last but not least, Clarence Clemons. That’s right. You want to be like him but you can’t, you know. The night I met Clarence, he got up onstage (and) a sound came out of his horn that seemed to rattle the glasses behind the bar, and threatened to blow out the back wall. The door literally blew off the club in a storm that night, and I knew I’d found my sax player.
“But there was something else, something - something happened when we stood side by side. Some, some, some energy, some unspoken story.
“For years Clarence has been a source of myth and light and enormous strength for me on stage. He has filled my heart so many night - so many nights - and I love it when he wraps me in those arms at the end of the night. That night we first stood together, I looked over at C and it looked like his head reached into the clouds. And I felt like a mere mortal scurrying upon the earth, you know. But he always lifted me up. Way, way, way up. Together we told a story of the possibilities of friendship, a story older than the ones that I was writing and a story I could never have told without him at my side. I want to thank you, Big Man, and I love you so much.” —Bruce Springsteen on Clarence Clemons - via Clarence Clemons: Some special memories from over the years | NJ.com (via fuckyeahtheboss)
