Random Acts of Sanity

It's hard to believe, but lately there've been court decisions that actually make sense to me! The proverbial "you could knock me down with a feather" moment.

Court tosses FCC 'wardrobe malfunction' fine
Can we drop it now? Can we PLEASE stop listening to the Parent's Television Council and others of their ilk? They lost any credibility with me, back in the day, when they tried to label Loony Tunes cartoons as the most violent show on TV, and they haven't done anything to improve that opinion in the intervening years. What they have done is become real good at Internet activism, getting their loyal membership to hit that "SEND" button every time they find something they deem objectionable. Sadly, the FCC can't seem to differentiate between legitimate complaints and a spam attack, and the PTC is VERY happy to complain about anything that offends their delicate sensibilities. In the interest of the children, of course.

Court rules lesbians are not just from Lesbos
And the less said about this one, the better. It's just sad that this case even made it to court. Talk about bucking a trend! According to Webster's, the word has been in use since at least 1567.
