Have You Ever Seen A 67 Million Dollar Pair of Pants?

A lawyer in Washington, D.C. has filed a lawsuit against a dry cleaners for a lost pair of trousers. Apparently the pants were his favorite and had sentimental value. He is suing for the pain and suffering of not being able to wear his favorite suit on his first day at work as a judge on the bench. I'm thinking the guy may be soon to see his last day as a judge on the bench. This is how idiots are weeded out. For example, Fred Phelps the idiot lawyer from Kansas who had some crazy lawsuit against a court clerk ended up making a stupid mistake and perjuring himself because he was so attached to his case. I would hate to have this guy as a judge in any case I need to have heard. He has basically sealed his political fate on this one as well. Many attorneys and judges have aspirations of becoming political officials ranging from Senators up to President or Supreme Court Justice. This guy has definitely made it easy for any one who may oppose his election to any position. Part of his lawsuit is for pain and suffering, part is for 10 years worth of the drive to another cleaners further from his home. The cleaners is taking donations toward their defense because there have been so many people call their attorney wanting to help.

Sharia Muslims are on the Lookout for Lesbians

A Nigerian lesbian woman who married 4 brides on the same day is now in hiding from the Islamic police. The woman (Aunty Maiduguri) and her 4 partners were born muslim and therefore they fall under Sharia law where they reside. Apparently, in their culture (Islam) the men are allowed to take up to four wives as long as he can provide for all of them. Abiding by her culture (minus the man part) Aunty Maiduguri took 4 wives. The problem is just the one little part she's missing. No one would have said anything about the whole mess if she were a man. But alas she is not. I wouldn't be surprised if we are soon to see in the news that this woman and her partners have been killed unless she is somehow able to escape the country. The theatre where the colorful wedding was held has been torn down because of "allegedly" being built on wrongly allocated land, among other reasons. What a fiasco. I hope someone with money helps these women escape the clutches of those who will jail and stone them to death. If not, I'm assuming that all these women felt as if their love was so great it was worth the risk of death by stoning. I just worry that if/when they get caught (knowing oppressive cultures of men) their punishment will include some "off the record" sexual abuses. I'm glad I live in the U.S. where women can live together and pretend to be married without being hunted down and killed, where if they do they can count on people like Fred Phelps to protest at funerals on the basis that homosexuals have too many rights, where though you are free it is only pretend. At least they let me pretend is all I have to say. I'll take that over a stoning any day.
