Judge Carter to Dr. Orly - No, you can't have reconsideration, not yours - Special update
Judge Carter has made a ruling on Dr. Orly's request for reconsideration in the Keyes/Barnett v Obama case.
Denied.
(Scibd link here)
(Bold face mine)
"After reviewing the moving and opposing papers, the Court finds no factual, legal, or bias grounds upon which to grant the motion for reconsideration. Counsel largely repeats the same arguments made in her briefing and oral argument on the Motion to Dismiss, which is prohibited. To the extent that she does present new argument, it is without merit and does not meet the standard for reconsideration. The Court’s ruling that it lacks jurisdiction, and that Plaintiffs have failed to state a claim on their remaining causes of action, stands.
The Amended Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED.
The Clerk shall serve this minute order on all parties to the action."
Looks like Dr. Orly is going to have a really good weekend......*evil grin*

| Reckoning Recon 12/4/09 |
[04 Dec 2009|04:35pm] |
|
http://shirt.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=10349 We thought the Reckoning Recon mission had failed forever when our scouts went missing. But they've returned after a grueling ordeal with news of where our t-shirts rank ahead of Monday's Day of Reckoning, when we eliminate all but the 20 best sellers. Their report follows.
Bystanders (not eligible for Reckoning until next week)
To hear the scouts tell it, they nearly froze to death and survived on roots and bark. Kinda weird that they gained weight and got a suntan, but who are we to question such heroes? Come back Monday for the final Casualty list.

| Friday Funnies |

http://thestrippodcast.blogspot.com/2009/12/friday-funnies.html 
It's been such a grim week for so many people, I thought I'd try to lighten it up with some of the silly stuff I collect around these parts. Like, for instance, this headline from a few weeks ago in the View, the weekly R-J neighborhood supplement. It's not enough that I'm a total hypochondriac, but now the newspaper is giving me a reason? I somehow failed to cut out the beginning of this story because I figured I'd be able to find it in online, but it actually went something like, "You know that headache you thought was just stress? It could be cancer." No, really.
And what if I got a headache because I stretched this carton of milk all the way...
...to its sell-by date, 120 years from now.
Maybe my pal, photog Denise Truscello, whose birthday was this week, can give me a sense of what it's like to live that long...
She looks REALLY good for 106, too...
I pulled into Sonic recently because Miles likes a Reese's blast when he has a headache, and while I waited I noticed this thing hanging from the board:
Let me get this straight. If they DON'T try to upsell us, we get $2? So we're supposed to WANT to have the inconvenience of telling a barely coherent voice through a speaker no, no, no, all we want to commit suicide-by-diet today is what we've already ordered?
You can't blame 'em though, when this...
...was the most thrilling thing that happened to me that day. Maybe if this lady I shot at the BlogWorld convention in October had a Sonic blast...
...she'd be happier?
There were some fun cartoons I clipped in recent weeks that gave me a giggle:
 
Somebody was bound to do this one sooner or later, but it still made me laugh:
And, finally, while I am stung and dismayed by the people the Las Vegas Sun fired this week, I'm heartened that cartoonist Mike Smith wasn't one of them. And here's yet another reason why:
Happy Weekend, everyone!
