Friday Pussy - Late edition


GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Friday that bloggers and the public have the same First Amendment protections as journalists when sued for defamation: If the issue is of public concern, plaintiffs have to prove negligence to win damages.

Okay not much to write about. Just the usual murder mayhem and mass weather messes ala wash rinse repeat. Net went out and after jiggering and diddling it was discovered that a connection had worn out. How does a connection wear out when it's never been moved?

So it's official you can now call an asshole an asshole. That's something I've always wanted to do. What's that you say? I'd have cards printed up with the word asshole on them. When someone fit the bill I'd hand them a card and say "here now you're a card carrying asshole." You like that eh?

Obummer is such a disappointment. He'll protect your privacy. Yea right. Is it any wonder why states are passing laws to protect the 4th amendment? And if this guy taught constitutional law then we are in trouble. Maybe they should repossess his degree.

Lastly we have the chemical spill in W.Va. My guess is you had a company that didn't have a clue as to what it was doing. Somebody had money to dump and thought they could make a quick killing selling mining chemicals cheap. Only problem was they were too cheap. They were by the looks of it underinsured and over leveraged. I feel sorry for the folks who got sick from that spill because they'll never see a dime of compensation.

And speaking of over leveraged we have the usual bank fails....
This week we have one fail in Chicago, Il.

The local oil distributor here went belly up, I wonder what effect that will have on local prices for some things, like heating oil and such.

On the bright side I'm thankful for this mild winter weather we are having.
