This clip has been causing “a stir” out in California, according to our tipster, which makes sense, because wtf? Here’s this nice black preacher giving an opening statement to a California State Senate committee about how he, like everyone, wants to take measures reducing emissions, but he also doesn’t want those measures to fuck over his poor community. When he politely finishes, Sen. Pat Wiggins (a “Pat” of the lady variety) very crisply curses at him. He stares at her incredulously, because who does that? WHY DOES PAT WIGGINS DO THAT?

In Scranton, Pennsylvania (of all the shitholes in the country) a legal victory for the foul-mouthed has been won. Dawn Herb was charged with disorderly conduct when her bastard cop neighbor, Patrick Gilman, called his fucking buddies to complain about her. Patrick said that Dawn was swearing too loudly inside her house (because her goddamn toilet was overflowing) and then ripped him a new asshole when he told her to shut the fuck up. District Judge Terrence Gallagher dismissed the charges against Dawn, ruling that her language was “protected speech pursuant to the First Amendment.” God, I do love when some son-of-a-bitch takes the time to read the motherfucking Constitution.

Because Wonkette is a family blog — with just a soupcon of assfucking — we’re showing you this G-rated picture of Justice Antonin Scalia, with all five fingers raised.

Justice Antonin Scalia goes hunting with Dick Cheney. But in case you need more support for the proposition that Nino is the coolest, most bad-ass justice on the Supreme Court, consider this report from the Boston Herald:

Minutes after receiving the Eucharist at a special Mass for lawyers and politicians at Cathedral of the Holy Cross, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had a special blessing of his own for those who question his impartiality when it comes to matters of church and state.

“You know what I say to those people?” Scalia, 70, replied, making an obscene gesture under his chin when asked by a Herald reporter if he fends off a lot of flak for publicly celebrating his conservative Roman Catholic beliefs.

“That’s Sicilian,” the Italian jurist said, interpreting for the “Sopranos” challenged.

Considering how much we drop the F bomb around here, Justice Scalia is a man after our own heart. Can you believe that he flipped someone the bird with bits of the Eucharist still between his teeth? Cert denied!

(We love Cheney for the same reason, since he used the F-word on the floor of the U.S. Senate. And we have lots of other reasons for loving Cheney too.)

Update: This post is the subject of a correction/clarification.

More evidence of Scalia’s coolness after the jump.
