Not just OT, but somewhere beyond OT:

Hendrik Hertzberg has a wonderful column in this week's New Yorker on the Texas based anti-sodomy case the Supreme Court has chosen to accept. The frame, for my money, is buried well down in the text, drawn from Anatole France's famous statement about the egalitarian character of the law, which "forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under the bridge." That quote frames Hertzberg's comment on the last failure of the relevant Texas court to reverse the reversal of a conviction.

I'm still ROFL as they say.

It's short so read away.
