Mid-Morning Open Thread

The Astronomer
Johannes Vermeer

Is there anyone better than the Dutch Masters for that perfect blend of incredible technique and marvelous subjects? Don't answer that...it's rhetorical.

I was going to post a painting of a malign clown, just to signal my distaste for the 9th Circuit, but I couldn't find one with the correct combination of condescension and stupidity.

In reality, those foolish men are not evil...they truly believe that they are a stout bulwark against the depredations of fascism and Nazism and conservatives.

I am sure they are quite proud of themselves this morning...the Constitution be damned!
