Clay and his partner of 20 years, Harold, lived in California. Clay and Harold made diligent efforts to protect their legal rights, and had their legal paperwork in place—wills, powers of attorney, and medical directives, all naming each other. Harold was 88 years old and in frail medical condition, but still living at home with Clay, 77, who was in good health.

So I guess all the Wall Street types are looking to get their grooves back. Might I suggest some 80’s feel good music or a montage.
We are Wall Street. It’s our job to make money. Whether it’s a commodity, stock, bond, or some hypothetical piece of fake paper, it doesn’t matter. We would trade baseball cards if it were profitable. I didn’t hear America complaining...

Arizona’s new immigration law is just about crime, its supporters say, but given that the state’s new education policy equates ethnic studies programs with high treason, they may not be using the commonly accepted definition of “crime.”

Yesterday, in a vote of 31-20, state lawmakers passed the bill that now must be signed by the governor, who has been noncommittal on the issue. Republican Rep. Barbara Marumoto, who voted in favor of the bill (!) told the Honolulu Star Bulletin: “I don’t believe our society will come crashing down if we pass this bill.”
Reacting to Reactionaries Re: Oil
Here and Here. First, assuming that soon this leak will be plugged, this isn’t really that much oil. It’s something like 5,000 bbls/day of the 20,000,000 a day we use.
Second, this explosion and leak is a systematic failure. when something like this happens, you stop, investigate the cause, punish the bad actors and ensure it doesn’t happen in the future, which is the only...

Crist will soon find that there are more disadvantages than there are benefits to running as an independent. The Governor will face significant challenges as an independent candidate. The first and most critical is fundraising. As of March 31, he had raised just over $10 million for the race, and had...
