May you live long and well. You and yours.
I always saw it written as whoopass. Could also be Whupass, as in “I’m gonna whup your ass.” But I suspect a can of woopass will get you about the same results if you open it by mistake.
Hot tub temperature water in the Gulf of Mexico is a canning factory line for quite a lot of whoopins in the future.

It sounds a lot like Tim Walz to me: You mind your own damn business, and I’ll mind mine.

This Georgia judge is copying what a North Dakota judge did a couple of months ago. I’m glad other judges are following his lead. There may be some sanity left in this country after all.

Maybe he was distracted by the battery and kept nervously looking around for sharks?

That’s because antiabortion fanatics don’t give the first fuck about protecting the unborn. Never have, never will. It’s about controlling women as the first step toward turning America into a christo-fascist state on the model of Saudi Arabia, where the punishment for violations of religious law are meted out by a violently psychotic government in accord with scripture - beheadings, chopping off hands, stonings, etc.

Years ago, early 70’s, I served a RC hospital that had had an “understanding” with the bishop allowing women complete up to date medical care so ling as certain procedures were performed in a building separate from the main hospital building. .y arrival coincided with that of a new bishop who changed the rules. A woman arrived on campus, pregnant with an anencephalic baby. Party to the ensuing “discussion,” I observed the OB/GYN doc counseling termination of the pregnancy for the mother’s health, the bishop’s theologian ruling against that, but stating that once born the baby could be exposed to die “naturally,” the doc passionately arguing that doing so would be like condemning the infant to freezing to death. The physician was furious; the religious official haughty, arrogant, and pleased with himself and the knowledge of who was going “to win” the disagreement. To their credit, the sisters I knew were outraged, but knew they had lost not only a mode of service but moral credibility, as well, in that part of the city. I still remember it after all these years.

Mandating the torture of the innocent should be a mortal sin. (Yeah, I spent some time around a NICU. If the things they do to infants there aren’t in the service of a much longer life and development post-NICU, it’s analogous to vivisecting an animal for funsies.)

What sick cruelty. But then as Blaise Pascal said, “Men never do evil as fully or as cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”
