Breaking away:

Cows were running free in Pocatello, Idaho, Tuesday, following in the hooves of a feisty heifer that escaped from a meat packing plant Friday. The pursuit of that cow made national headlines; five cows have now broken out of the plant in the past four days.

Two cows remain at large, part of a cohort of at least four animals that made a run for it Sunday. Their escape came two days after a 1,000-pound cow broke out by reportedly jumping a 6-foot fence.

Of the five cows, one was captured and taken back to Anderson Custom Pack in Pocatello. Two others have been shot – including the heifer that had escaped on Friday.

That cow did not go quietly, rushing at plant co-owner Jesse Anderson (leaving him with two broken ribs) and leading animal control officers on a long chase through residential areas. Video reports from Friday show the cow trotting through yards.

Talking about standing up against the tide! This idiots are just trying to delay the inevitable:

Gay rights activists were ecstatic: Come Jan. 6, they thought, Florida same-sex couples would be lining up at courthouses around the state to get married.

But that is not what the people who issue marriage licenses in Florida — county clerks of court — say.

They are trying to determine whether a Tallahassee law firm is right when it says that every Florida clerk, except the one in Washington County, would be committing a crime if he or she issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The firm of Greenberg Traurig, legal counsel to the Florida Association of Court Clerks and Comptrollers, this week updated a memo it sent July 1 that says the same thing: If you issue a marriage license to two people of the same sex, you’ve committed a first-degree misdemeanor and could spend a year in the county jail.

Judge-Arthur-J-Schwab

It has no real meaning, other than its resemblance to the annoyance of a buzzing fly:

WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled on Tuesday that President Barack Obama’s administrative actions on immigration, which could grant deportation relief to up to 5 million people, go beyond “beyond prosecutorial discretion” and are therefore unconstitutional.

The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Arthur Schwab, a George W. Bush appointee, was the first to address the constitutionality of Obama’s executive actions. Schwab’s decision, however, does not appear to carry any real-world consequences. The judge, who has a highly unusual history of being removed from cases due to temperament and charges of bias, was not asked to rule on the issue and instead inserted his opinion into a criminal case.
