Go Ahead, Assualt Your Boss
Look, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t play one on TV and I most certainly didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn express last night … but I do know that assualting your boss (or anyone for that matter) is a right quick way to lose a gig or get arrested.
Unless, of course, you play baseball in the MLB. There, apparently, it is unlawful to terminate someone for assualting you.
Don’t believe it?
Here is the quote from ESPN:
“The players’ association filed a grievance Tuesday over the release of pitcher Shawn Chacon, saying the team’s decision to terminate his contract was without just cause.”
The zaniness of MLB continues.

It's A New Law?
Yahoo! has a story up this morning, originally from FoxNews, (proving once again aggregation is king, queen & ruling court of the Web) discussing a new Ohio law which prevents a woman from bringing her bear cub to work.
This is a NEW law?
When was this ever a good idea?

Yes, They Are Watching You
Wednesday, Sweden’s Parliament narrowly approved a law that gives authorities sweeping powers to eavesdrop on all e-mail and telephone traffic that crosses the Nordic nation’s borders.
Apparently people are up in arms about this new law arguing, not surprisingly, on the privacy front.
Let’s be real here, can we? If anyone believes the Swede’s (or any other government for that matter) weren’t already eavesdropping on international voice & data communications, they are living in a sad, deluded state.
It doesn’t make it right, but it is absolutely already happening.
