but I know deep down Chuck loved Jimmy.


that line in the finale where Chuck said "You never really mattered that much to me" really hit hard. That was tough.


You're supposed to feel conflicted. The opening scene of the episode -- with Chuck reading The Adventures of Mabel to Jimmy in the tent -- is clearly meant to show that Jimmy "mattered" to him quite a bit, going back to their childhood and extending well into adulthood. Chuck obviously didn't mean that as broadly as he said it, and I think Jimmy knows that, but it doesn't make those words less hurtful.

After all, Chuck's depression and mindset in this episode come after he was publicly embarrassed in court during Jimmy's hearing and because he lost the last thing that gave him any sense of pride and connection with a normal life -- his law partnership. And he lost that solely because of Jimmy -- because of the con last season where Jimmy doctored the files, and then again because Jimmy got the insurance agent to jack up Chuck's malpractice insurance, which spurred Howard's move to have him retire.

However, while we know Chuck was trying to be a dick in his talk with Jimmy, the episode painfully shows us exactly how mentally ill Chuck has been this entire time. The scenes with him tearing about his house were just so uncomfortable, and I personally couldn't help but feel pity for him. His final gesture of killing himself in one of the most painful ways possible is clearly not a sign of someone who is at all functioning in the real world. Or likely had been for quite some time.

In short, it's sibling rivalry at its best.

"The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case on whether the owner of a Colorado cake shop can refuse to provide service to same-sex couples due to his religious beliefs about marriage.

Jack Phillips, who along with his wife owns Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver, has argued that a state law compelling him to produce wedding cakes for gay couples, which runs counter to his religious beliefs, violates his right to free speech under the First Amendment.

David Mullins and Charlie Craig, who are now married, filed a discrimination lawsuit in September 2012 after Phillips refused to make their wedding cake.

The case is "about more than just a cake," Craig wrote in a blog post for the ACLU. "It's about making sure that Masterpiece and other businesses don't discriminate against customers because of who they are."

The Colorado Civil Rights Commission sided with Mullins and Craig. It said that if Phillips is creating custom wedding cakes for heterosexual couples, he must do the same for gay couples. The Colorado Court of Appeals also ruled in favor of the couple.

Phillips argues that he is happy to sell baked goods to gay customers. "He simply believes that only marriage between a man and a woman should be celebrated," his lawyers wrote in the petition asking the court to take the case. "Thus, he declined to create custom art for a specific event because of the message it communicated, not because of the persons requesting it."

The petition stated that Phillips faced a stark choice: "Either use your talents to create expression that conflicts with your religious beliefs about marriage, or suffer punishment under Colorado's public accommodation law."

Advocates for the LGBT community see the case as simply an issue of basic rights. "Open a business to serve the public? You have an obligation to serve everyone," Laura Durso of the LGBT research and communications project at the Center for American Progress told NPR in 2013.

Durso said that allowing businesses to deny services to gay couples for religious reasons was a "slippery slope" and warned that it could lead to discrimination against LGBT employees.

Now, the nation's top court will decide.

Yeah, the only thing I didn't do is I was going to close the garage door on him while I looked for a leash. He followed me inside but I thought trapping him might freak him out. I just worry because he's a really sweet dog, but also a pup and a pit and I know how some people react to seeing a bigger dog getting excited and running around.

I know how you feel, but you can't save them all. And he yet may have a chance, take heart in that part.

She bought out an entire floor of a hospital just for her babies, like no other moms were pregnant and needed that floor.

She had to the first time to keep people from finding out about the surrogate she was using. Then the second time she had to just to keep up the pretense. Or so the dirtsheets tell me.

So, no good reason then. Other people have done it, bigger celebrities than her, that's for damn sure.
