California promises jail time to waiters who give customers a straw apart from a customer’s request for one.

This is a proposal by one lawmaker; it hasn’t been enacted. The lawmaker has already walked back the ridiculous penalties. Nobody here thinks it even make it to a vote, let alone pass.

So I came across this from your EEOC Title VII defines “religion” to include “all aspects of religious observance and practice as well as belief.” Religion includes not only traditional, organized religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, but also religious beliefs that are new, uncommon, not part of a formal church or sect, only subscribed to by a small number of people, or that seem illogical or unreasonable to others. Further, a person’s religious beliefs “need not be confined in either source or content to traditional or parochial concepts of religion.” A belief is “religious” for Title… Read more »

I like the way he ran like he was guilty. My Ive-read-too-much-Steven-King brain thinks he was doing something by that fence to draw that car into it.

Can anything good come out of California? Well this is encouraging: California trial court has upheld a Christian baker’s right to refuse to create a wedding cake… http://www.bpnews.net/50317
