Hobby Lobby’s argument that a corporation can itself have a religion (as opposed to the individual religions of its owners, board members, and executives) is so patently absurd it’s surprising the Supreme Court even granted cert. What’s frightening is the possibility they might agree. Ian Millhiser at ThinkProgress wrote a decidedly terrifying summary of the oral argument that […]

A personal favorite, drawn a little over a year ago to no acclaim. Point of trivia: You can tell because a croc’s fourth lower tooth is enlarged and visible (sticking out behind its nostrils) when its mouth is closed.
