The New York Times digs into the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, No. 16-111, which is heading to SCOTUS in the fall.
In the case, a gay couple was denied a wedding cake by a baker who objected on grounds of his religious beliefs.
It's baffling to me that any gay people could side with the baker, and here's why...
Joel Osteen Ministries has a gigantic church in Houston that would make a great shelter for the citizens of the Harvey-deluged city.
Osteen has so far refused to open it to his neighbors.
WTF? That and more of the day's hottest links, including North Korea's new provocation, Trump's insane Arpaio press-conference answer and more ...

From a great read in The New York Times:
Madonna and Mrs. Clinton: both trailblazers, both polarizing figures, and both attacked for actions, choices and behavior that are broadly accepted — even applauded — when done by their male peers.

Caryn Ganz and Patrick Healy compare the women, both of whom they note were forced to sell their own legacies in 2016.
