There will be no expelliarmus orders in English prisons. English inmates have won the right to keep twigs in their cells to use as wands. This is still better than the American prisoner’s demanding to have Thor’s hammer and sword available to them.

In a moment that seems out of a Fellini film, Saudi Arabia held a major conference on women in the workplace. The conference attended by religious, government, and business leaders would have been viewed as something of a breakthrough on the issue except for the one group excluded: women. Women were forced to sit in a separate room where they could not be seen out of respect for Wahhabi rules. Continue reading “Saudis Hold Conference on Women in the Workplace But Bars Women from Appearing”

Rear Adm. John “Boomer” Stufflebeem was recently demoted and fired from his post as director of the Navy staff. It was revealed this week, however, that Stufflebeem had a curious pick-up line: he falsely told a woman that he was a widower and slept with her at the White House — later lying about the liaison. The report shows that Stufflebeem seemed to morph into Bill Clinton when confronted with the affair.

In Minnesota, three eighth graders have been suspended for sitting during the pledge of allegiance. The principal of Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Junior High School states that, while they are not constitutionally required to recite the pledge, they must still stand for the pledge.

Continue reading “Pledge or Perish: Eighth Graders Suspended for Lack of Patriotic Respect”

An interesting story is emerging over possible false light and defamation violations involving Mischa Barton’s thighs. The starlet is objecting that a widely distributed picture of her backside and thighs covered in cellulite is doctored. If the culprit is found, it would make for an interesting tort case since she could bring charges of misappropriation of likeness or image, false light, and defamation. Britain’s Daily Mail first published the pictures. Australian photographer Jamie Fawcett has also been named in the controversy as a possible culprit, though there is no direct proof of doctoring of the photographs. Continue reading “Getting to the Bottom of Mischa Barton: Star Claims Cellulite Doctoring”
Even though in a city that prides itself on “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” Elizabeth Halverson has achieved national infamy for conduct as a judge that allegedly ranges from having a bailiff rub her back to sleeping in the courthouse to making her husband swear under oath that he has done the chores at home. Now the Nevada Judicial Discipline Commission is starting a week of hearings to remove her from the bench. Continue reading “Nevada Judge Halverson Faces Possible Removal Over Bizarre Conduct”

In Duluth, Minnesota, the Munthe family thought that it was bad enough that their miniature pinscher, Fester, was hit by Jeffrey Ely’s Honda Civic. That was before he served them with papers for the damage to his car, court costs, and even lost wages. The family has now countersued for the value of Fester (replacement costs) and their own costs. OF course, Ely got of light, as the video below shows, another guy in California last week found a pit bull stuck in his truck engine, chewing his wiring.
