Well, the story I’m most fascinated by today, of course, it that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting a divorce. After all that jumping up and down on the couch. After the Eiffel Tower Engagement.
Some day, we will know the full story
But, I don’t really have much to say about it. I don’t have any inside information as to whether he’s gay or not and Holmes, and equally stunning first wife Nicole Kidman, were just beards to him, so I will leave that to lesser columnists to discuss.
No, the serious topic of tonight’s column is the volcanic eruption of red hot stupidity coming from the right, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Decision that, hey, we might not really like Obamacare, but there’s nothing about it that’s unconstitutional, not even a little bit.
They are calling Justice Roberts a traitor. Coming up with insane conspiracy theories. (Roberts was being blackmailed. Roberts was having a psychotic episode.) They are vowing to fight it, again, in congress. And there is one Republican activist, Matt Davis, the former spokesman for the Michigan GOP, who is leading the call for an armed insurrection. I shit you not. He wrote this: If government can mandate that I pay for something I don’t want, then what is beyond its power? If the Supreme Court’s decision Thursday paves the way for unprecedented intrusion into personal decisions, then has the Republic all but ceased to exist? If so, then is armed rebellion today justified?
No, Matt, it is not. The last time anybody tried an armed rebellion in the U.S. was in 1861. As I recall, it didn’t work out real well. Now, imagine that little brouhaha with automatic weapons, helicopters and drones. Then, just shut up.
So, I’m sure that Matt Davis didn’t really mean it, and the Secret Service will come have a chat with him, and they’ll say he’s not a real threat or anything. That’s the way these things seem to go.
