The man. The myth. The legend.

I was driving down a rural country highway today when all of a sudden a turkey buzzard smashed into my windshield and flipped over the roof of my car into the car behind me covering it with feathers, blood and all sorts of bird goo.

A few seconds later I look in the rear view mirror and I realized it was a sheriff's car that got hit and the motherfarger had his lights on and was pulling my ass over!

He walked up and asked me what the hell just happened - and I told him - I hit a friggen bird who flew into my car and flipped over my roof into his patrol car.  Then the son of a bitch asked me for my license and registration.  Can you believe it?

He went back to his patrol car - and then a few minutes later he walked back to my car and handed me a written warning for flipping him the bird.

The U.S. Supreme Court may hold that child rapists do not deserve the death penalty, but you certainly deserve it for this awful joke.

Not that I like defending the oil companies (cause I don't), and I know I'll get eviscerated for this, but......

According to NPR, the Supreme Court is following the letter of maritime law that says punitive damages can't exceed the civil suit they are attached to.  Now, I don't know if the civil suit got similarly ass-raped, but according to the "leftist NPR" the SC had little choice here, and still split 5-4.
Anyone but Reid.

The fact that you read the entire post makes all the typing I did to create it worthwhile.

If the Supreme Court had no choice but to uphold the decision of the lower court, then why did it even get reviewed by them at all?  The Supreme Court is the ultimate word on every law in this country, and if their decision supercedes maritime law, then so be it.

I love how the Supreme Court is wildly predictable and political.  They have no less than 3 fargers on each side of the aisle in the bag on every vote, and there are only a few brave souls that occasionally dip their toes in an alternate theory of law.

Ok, I actually don't love it at all.  farging twits.

The one crime I think is actually worthy of the death penalty is shot down by the liberal Supremes.  In other news, evidently, the righties slashed the Exxon Valdez punitive damages award by 80%.


Obama disagrees with the Supreme Court decision.

Though I don't have a link, I'm certain that Bush agrees wholeheartedly with the Valdez decision.
