I thought I was having a rough day but then I read this post about someone debating whether to check on their mouse experiment while sirens were blaring and missiles were entering the airspace in Kuwait and you know what? This headache isn't that bad.

A grey squirrel on the wheel holder of an upside down wheelbarrow. It's mouth is open and on the wheel.
Oh hey, I saw this cutie licking a wheel today and thought you'd appreciate it! Unfortunately I didn't get a pic with it's tongue out. I'm guessing there is salt on the wheel?

In 1923, SCOTUS held that US taxpayers do not have standing to sue the government for their taxes being spent in an illegal or unconstitutional manner. SCOTUS said it would violate Separation of Powers if taxpayers could sue to control how taxes were spent.
That's been US law ever since.
