Gyno the ferret has the power to snap Frances Woodard out of her panic attacks and therefore must be allowed to accompany her on public buses. The Canadian transit company said no.

Lucky and Buddy were spared and sent to a shelter and not euthanized as rapists, which is what Diane Whalen and Donald Seigfried had trained them to do for their video business [NOTW Daily, 6-30-2008] . . . . . Not only were 6 Members of Parliament in India released from jail so they could vote on important legislation (reported here yesterday), but it turns out that nearly 25 percent of the 540 MPs who aren't now in jail are nonetheless awaiting trial for something or other . . . . . Jon Van Allen, poster child for "honesty is not the best policy," was sentenced to 4 yrs in prison for child-molesting after he confessed to the crime, out of the blue, because, he said, the state-trooper application he was filling out required honest answers [NOTW M006, 5-20-2007] . . . . . The Greek court deciding who had the greater right to the word "lesbian" (gay women or residents of the isle of Lesbos) ruled for the women [the current NOTW, M067, 7-20-2008] . . . . . That 1999 tight-jeans ruling by Italy's Court of Cassation was overturned; hence, it will no longer be considered impossible for a man to pull jeans off without the victim's "help."
