House passes frivolous lawsuit bill

This is why I wince every time I even think about supporting a Democrat for public office:

Democrats did succeed in blocking another bill, which would have provided youth athletic leagues, school athletic associations and other nonprofit sports groups immunity from lawsuits if the harm did not involve willful or criminal misconduct.

Basically, these bozos think it's perfectly acceptable for parents to sue the Little League pitcher that beaned their boy with an out of control fastball. Not only are they out to stifle youth sports, but even the playground must be redesigned for safety and accomodation of everybody.

House Republicans pushed through legislation Tuesday aimed at reducing frivolous lawsuits.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
