Ah, but there's the rub - they probably wouldn't have. Grasso oversaw such a rise in shareholder value that they were likely only too happy to pay him what he got.

I don't think he's usurping any rights, except maybe teh decision not to bring a lawsuit. Good thing the NYSE wasn't incorporated in Delaware--definitely no suit there.

Is he usurping the rights of the taxpayers not to have their tax dollars used in his support of his campaign for governor?

CHICAGO - A judge in a case closely watched by those who oppose circumcision sided Tuesday with a divorced man who did not want his 9-year-old son to undergo the procedure.

Circuit Judge Jordan Kaplan said that circumcision is “an extraordinary medical procedure” for a 9-year-old and that the boy can decide for himself when he turns 18.

The boy’s father sued to block the operation in a dispute with his ex-wife. The couple’s 2003 divorce decree gave the father the right to be consulted before the boy underwent any “extraordinary” non-emergency procedure.

The father said he believed surgical removal of the boy’s foreskin could cause long-term physical and psychological harm. The child’s mother wanted the procedure to prevent recurring infections. She testified that the boy had suffered five bouts of painful inflammation and had begged her to help him.

I knew a guy who had a circumcision at the age of 24 for recurring infections. He said it was the most painful thing he'd ever done, but it was better than the infections - which, I guess, are really really miserable. He said he'd wished his parents had done it when he was born so he didn't have to go through that.link

What does Rush Limbaugh have to do with any of this?

Nothing. It just need to be said. Because he is.
Moreso now than before.

I used to have a partner in my real estate ventures who claimed that circumcision seriously diminished the potential for sexual pleasure in men that have it done. He was part of a group that was trying to discourage its use. He was pretty weird, and I didn't like him much, so I never paid much attention nor checked into it.

Why would he care about other men's sexual pleasure?

And I guess the only ones who will really know are the ones who've had it done as adults.

Er, he accused him of playing up his disease for the camera and/or not taking his meds.

Since Fox himself states in his own autobiography that he has in the past neglected to take his medication for "stronger effect " makes Rush's allegation not far from the mark.

That the ad completely misrepresents the current state of stem cell research is a topic best suited for another Board.

One last thing, and then I'm done. I don't know exactly what meds Michael J. Fox is taking, but as a general rule, not taking the meds causes the muscles to freeze up, or lock. The opposite effect. I said nothing about stem cells.

Who cares what MJFox has to say?!?! He's friggin no nothin actor. Not to mention that I think he is Canadian, and as such should keep his nose out of our politics unless he wants us to annex he wimpy little land.

Seriously, let em move to France if he doesn't like it here. He can hang out with Alec Baldwin.

Yesterday, the executive committees of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP of San Francisco and Dewey Ballantine LLP of New York approved the main terms of a merger. The combined firm, to be called Dewey Orrick LLP, would have more than 1,500 lawyers and rank among the 15 largest U.S.-based law firms in terms of lawyers if the merger is approved by the firms' partners, who are due to vote later this year.

I wonder if Orrick has heard about the propensity of certain people to allegedly make jokes about Asians eating cats???
