Monday News & Notes

I ran across some items of interest when going through my feeds this morning.  Rather than discuss them all, I thought I would post the Hot Links so that you could read them at your leisure.  From the sports world Jezebel offers a definitive ranking of pro sports uniforms with a hat tip to BosGuy for the link.  From the sublime we go to the ridiculous with Matt Barber spouting more BS like Gay Marriage is the Brainchild of Satan.  I wonder what he will come up with next?

Moving into the legal arena, the Supreme Court made a lot of news yesterday.  In a narrow decision handed down yesterday, SCOTUS ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby being able to discriminate by denying coverage for contraceptives in their health plan.  SCOTUS also declined to hear an appeal in the case involving California's ban on 'reparative' therapy thus letting the lower courts ruling upholding the ban stand.  Think Progress has some analysis of the Hobby Lobby ruling with The Bait and Switch Behind The Ruling and the Six Groups Other than Women on Birth Control who stand to lose with this decision.  Then as always, Towleroad's Ari Ezra Waldman offers his excellent analysis of the Hobby Lobby decision.

Now for some entertainment, your Monday with Mozart features one of the six string quartets Mozart dedicated to his friend Franz Joseph Haydn.  The String Quartet Number 16 in E Flat Major, KV428 is performed today by the Mosaiques Quartet.  You may hear another of these quartets, Number 19 "Dissonanze" over on my tumblr. 

Then what would Monday be around here without some marvelously muscly men in their Monday's Undies to cruise and peruse while indulging in the Mozart.  You can also find inspiration in the Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr.  Thanks for starting your week here with me, see you again soon.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
