  1. http://bigstory.ap.o...y-marriage-case "Because no right to same-gender marriage emanates from the Constitution, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico should not be compelled to recognize such unions," he wrote in the 21-page ruling. "Instead, Puerto Rico, acting through its legislature, remains free to shape its own marriage policy." Perez-Gimenez questioned the actions of more than two dozen judges on the U.S. mainland who have struck down state same-sex marriage bans following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling known as U.S. vs. Windsor. That ruling struck down a federal provision that denied several tax, health and veterans benefits to legally married gay couples, though it did not declare gay marriage legal nationwide. Perez-Gimenez wondered in his ruling whether laws prohibiting polygamy and incestuous relations will be questioned now, saying that traditional marriage is essential to society itself. "Ultimately the very survival of the political order depends upon the procreative potential embodied in traditional marriage," he said. "Those are the well-tested, well-proven principles on which we have relied for centuries."
  2. my (cough) sarcasm (cough) Also, I see that gatorman is on the board right now. Ever wonder why he doesn't make comments on terrorist topics like this?
  3. I'm sure that Stephen Harper will categorize this as "workplace violence" instead of terrorism.

  7. Here's a link to an article from today's paper: http://bizbeatblog.dallasnews.com/2014/10/dallas-based-trinity-industries-hit-with-175m-verdict-total-damages-could-near-1-billion-in-guardrail-case-brought-by-whistle-blower-josh-harman.html/ The article is about some lawsuit about a company that made minor changes to their product, but the minor changes caused the product to be "less safe" and the company committed fraud by not telling anyone about the changes. Blah, blah, blah. What was funny [sarcasm], though, is a paragraph near the end of the article: "Karen Dyer of Boies Schiller and Flexner, one of five attorneys who argued the case for Harman, said in her view the evidence that had the strongest impact on the jury was an 2004 email that showed Trinity executives had concluded the change would save the company money, and suggested that they had purposely not told the FHWA about the change." So basically, they could find a 10-year-old email, but all of Lois Lerner's recent IRS emails have magically disappeared, never to be recovered.
