Don’t you love the old rock groups that recapture the public eye? Well, not always. The Strolling Bones can still kick it out, but a few others need to pack it up and move along.
Remember Devo? Yes, that Devo. As in “Whip It” and a host of other widely forgotten tunes? Well they are back. What are they doing? Touring? Recording? Nope. They’re suing McDonald’s. Yes, lovable Ronald McDonald – a guy not geeky enough to be a member of Devo – is now the target of a lawsuit.
Seems Donald had donned the red Devo hat. While they are at it, they are also suing American Idol. They are actually suing because they claim a toy in the Happy Meal box is wearing ‘their hat’. As I said, you can’t make this stuff up. If you really want details, here’s the link: Divo sues over Happy Meal Toy.
By the way guys, the 1980’s called. They said your 15 minutes ended when Members Only went out of style.

Well, after generations of refusing to touch the issue, the Supreme Court ruled, in a majority opinion written by Justice Scalia, that the DC gun law is an unconstitutional violation of your 2nd Amendment rights.

There was no middle ground on this issue – just as in the country at large. Four of the nine justices believe that the 2nd Amendment does not guarantee the right to bear arms and believes it can and should restrict personal liberty.
