I think the inicidents that the women are suing over happened before most of Joe Francis's legal troubles. I'm amused that he's in jail when he could be out on bail. But that won't keep him from being charged in Florida right? They can still charge him and work out extradition or something?
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Scooter will not be allowed to remain free until his appeal; he must go to jail now.
So,
At the White House Wednesday, Tony Snow said he wouldn't "speculate" as to whether a decision denying Libby's request to remain free pending appeal would affect the timing of any pardon decision. But there's a difference between a man facing a prison sentence and a man actually serving one, and that difference will increase the pressure the president faces -- from the base he's losing quickly -- to absolve Libby of his sins.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ahhh, good to see guys in jail who should be in jail. Warms the cockles of my heart.

Warms the cockles of my heart.
I read that as "Warms the cookies of my heart."
Mmm... warm cookies....

If my heart had cookies, they would be warm.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Democrats and Republicans are having a grammar kerfuffle:
[GSA head Lurita Doan] claims she sometimes has "problems with tense", and in fact had meant to use the "hortatory subjunctive".
But then comes John Sarbanes, showing off. His mother is a Latin teacher, he tells us, and so he knows that Ms Doan's statement is not the hortatory subjunctive.

More to the point, English doesn't have a hortatory subjunctive. If she was talking to her employees in Latin, this might be an issue.
Go away, Edna! Go hang over the White House.

Where's the Massachusetts gay marriage amendment talk happening?
June 14,2007 | BOSTON -- Massachusetts lawmakers blocked a proposed constitutional amendment Thursday that would have let voters decide whether to ban gay marriage in the only state that allows it.
The narrow vote was a victory for gay marriage advocates and a blow to efforts to reverse the historic court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in the state. More than 8,500 gay couples have married in Massachusetts since it became legal in May 2004.
To get the proposed ban on the 2008 statewide ballot would have required 50 votes. It got 45, with 151 lawmakers opposed. There was no debate.
As the tally was announced, the halls of the Statehouse erupted in applause.
