Can any of the lawyers (or Gil) on this messageboard tell me how the fuck this makes any sense? : http://wcfcourier.com/news/local/iowa-court-bosses-can-fire-irresistible-workers/article_011a69c8-4bba-11e2-9d99-0019bb2963f4.html



My explanation is that apparently it doesn't take much to be an appellate court judge in Iowa.  According to the all male court the boss fired her because of feelings and emotions, not gender.  It is her own fault for having too many exagerated female characteristics.  I suppose that if he developed an intense hatred of her skin color it would not because of her race, but because of his feelings and emotions about that color.  No.  I can't explain it.

This is an absurd ruling and I hope that it is appealed to the Supremes. With three female justices and one more inquisitive male justice, they might grant cert.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

My explanation is that apparently it doesn't take much to be an appellate court judge in Iowa.  According to the all male court the boss fired her because of feelings and emotions, not gender.  It is her own fault for having too many exagerated female characteristics.  I suppose that if he developed an intense hatred of her skin color it would not because of her race, but because of his feelings and emotions about that color.  No.  I can't explain it.

Well it is possible he would of fired a male assistant to whom he was attracted.

Also, in Iowa, it's apparently customary to consult your pastor on human resources decisions.

It is seriously irresponsible to post this article and continue this conversation without an image of the plaintiff.

in the final months of her employment, he complained that her tight clothing was distracting, once telling her that if his pants were bulging that was a sign her clothes were too revealing.

Pretty sure it's not her clothes that are too revealing. 

"Mansfield noted that Knight had an all-female workforce and Nelson was replaced by a woman."

No doubt they were all ugly women. 

The "ALL FAT CHICKS" ordinance was easier to pass in Iowa.

I think maybe he was just disturbed by the fact that he is attracted to that Kate Plus 8 chick.

So Congress agrees to pass a bunch of laws allowing more warrantless spying.

Glad they can come together on the important stuff.

This is why both sides are crap.

We see those polls on "which profession do you least trust/respect?"  Historically car salesmen have usually topped the list.  To my chagrin, but not surprise, lawyers have been a close second. 1/  But lately congress members are runaway leaders.

footnote 1.   Does anyone remember the scene in "A Man For All Seasons" when two characters are swapping insults?  One calls the other a "butcher's son", and he responds "lawyer!"

My 5th grade teacher introduced us to the play (and movie) 1776, which for some reason (nostalgia, no doubt) has always remained enjoyable and memorable to me.

Featuring this exchange.

Quote from: 1776
John Dickinson: Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Lee, Mr. Hopkins, Dr. Franklin, why have you joined this... incendiary little man, this BOSTON radical? This demagogue, this MADMAN?
John Adams: Are you calling me a madman, you, you... you FRIBBLE!
Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Easy John.
John Adams: You cool, considerate men. You hang to the rear on every issue so that if we should go under, you'll still remain afloat!
John Dickinson: Are you calling me a coward?
John Adams: Yes... coward!
John Dickinson: Madman!
John Adams: Landlord!
John Dickinson: LAWYER!

A $1 Trillion dollar platinum coin?!?!?

http://www.businessinsider.com/suddenly-lots-of-influential-people-are-talking-about-the-trillion-dollar-coin-idea-to-save-the-economy-2013-1

What could go wrong?



I don't know what's sillier, using a hypertechnical reading of a statute intended to allow the Treasury to create commemorative coins or a political party holding the world economy hostage so that it can extract policy concessions instead of paying the bills it's already racked up.
