Today we'll see a decision on the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. The smart money says it'll be a 5-4 decision striking down the "individual mandate" which says that we all have to buy health insurance. The remainder of what they decide is immaterial because without the individual mandate, there is no way that the ACA (Obamacare) can work. It's half the agreement: We (Jane Public) will buy the insurance; You (giant insurance company) guarantee the insurance covers everyone and everything without gouging us.

But I don't want to talk about it.
Instead, I'd like to draw your attention to the latest squirrel-Qaeda attack, this time in Mississippi. "For several years, [squirrels have] been chomping away at the wood of the historic [Lamar] house trying to get inside. Now the animals are ripping through the screening in the attic."
"I think if you look at the damage, it wasn't just one squirrel. It was several out here kind of going to town," said Mary-Kathryn Herrington with the Oxford Convention and Visitor's Bureau.
A concerted attack by "several" squirrels. I think we've discovered a new squirrel-Qaeda cell. They are literally destroying our heritage.
---UPDATE: In a startling development, Chief Justice John Roberts has come down on the side of universal health care and the ACA stands, bruised and battered, but whole. Wow.
Still, Squirrels.
