It's always nice to marry someone who shares some of your interests, even if those interests include, for example, assault. It appears that two women in Canada found that their rap sheets bespoke greater underlying compatibility and decided to tie the knot while serving time in a Canadian prison.
In other news from north of the border, Ontario's Court of Appeal ruled that three parents each have a separate legal right over the same child. The case involved two lesbians, one of whom had the child with the father prior to the relationship. The lesbian couple did not want to adopt the child because they didn't want to cut off the father's parental interest. (Gee...a rare case of parents going to court to actually act in the best interests of the child instead of using the child as a sharp boomerang of revenge...how very novel.) The court ruled that both the lesbian couple and the father had legal parenting rights to the child, noting that recognizing the non-biological mother's rights was in the best interests of the child and necessary should something happen to the biological mother. (Insert inappropriate three-way joke here.)
In news from around these parts, the Supreme Court heard yet another commerce clause case involving garbage. Once again, the so-called "dormant commerce clause" finds itself associated with human waste. Coincidence? I think not.
Reasons to not use eBay in the near future - eBay CEO Meg Whitman helped Mitt "the Dick" Romney (yes, that's my own personal nickname) raise $6.5 million for his potential presidential campaign. Evidently, Romney is on his way to have the cachet of money necessary to compete with other presidential hopefuls Rudy Giuliani and John McCain. Now, all he needs to do is actually get a brain, a heart, and some courage from the Wizard.
