While Nancy Pelosi continues to warn Republicans not to nominate Newt Gingrich (which is being used by the Romney camp this week), the Republican establishment is doing a full court press against Gingrich. That has led to some curious moments likeAnn Coulter denouncing Gingrich for “hotheaded arrogance”. However, the strangest came from Elliott Abrams who accused Gingrich of the greatest sin of a Republican. No it is not endorsing torture or promising to renew the Iraqi War or even wiping out the separation of church and state. It is the unspeakable act of criticizing Ronald Reagan. Reagan famously handed down the 11th Commandment “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.” However, that is merely a venal not the mortal sin of violating the 12th Commandment, “Thou shalt not speak ill of Reagan.”---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have previously discussed how history is being forgotten in theUnited States, England, and other countries. We can now add Germany to the list. While one would hope that there are certain historical facts that are indelible, one in five young Germans has no idea that Auschwitz was a Nazi death camp.---------------------------------------------------------------

'Thou Shalt Not ...' Visit Any Nightclub in This Town Until You Dress Your Age
Welcome back to the latest in LBW's "Thou Shalt Not ..." series. As you may recall, this series seeks to properly memorialize the growing number of instances I see where a corporation rolls out its "death penalty" punishment on a customer: "You can never come here [buy here] [eat here] again!!"
The latest installment in this series:
Thou shalt not visit any of the nightclubs in your hometown until you stop dressing so sexy/trampy.
Meet Lisa Woodman, a 28-year-old mother of four who rocks a "size six figure and 36DD chest." Woodman is now reportedly furious because she has been banned from all three hotspots in her home town of Worcester, West Midlands, because of her preferred wardrobe of "low-cut tops, short skirts and knee-length boots."
According to the Daily Mail, the doormen at all of her city's nightclubs -- which are owned by the same company -- have informed Woodman that she is "banned for life" from the clubs unless she tones down her appearance. Woodman says she is just flaunting her figure after breaking up with the father of her kids last year and getting a boob job in April, but the clubs say she is too old to "wear that get-up." Woodman says she saw "teenagers and girls in their 20s wearing much more revealing outfits but they went straight in.

Sphere: Related ContentThursday's Three Burning Legal Questions
Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere.
1) Question: I'm unemployed. I was called for jury duty but, although jury selection was still going on, I never returned to the courthouse after lunch. The judge got really angry with me and ordered me to spend two days carrying a sign back and forth in front of the courthouse that reads "I failed to appear for jury duty." Can he do this?
Answer: Indeed he can. (ABA Journal, Judge Orders Jury Duty Slacker to Carry Sign in Front of Courthouse)
2) Question: The stupid dog in the apartment next door to mine in Fort Worth, Texas, has been barking non-stop for a full eight minutes! I cannot function in these conditions! What can I do?
Answer: In two more minutes the dog will have met Fort Worth's "10 minute barking" threshold, and you can then call the police and have them issue a citation to its owner. (The Consumerist, City May Issue Fines If Your Dog Barks For Longer Than 10 Minutes)
3) Question: The cruise ship that I was on was shipwrecked off the coast of Italy. The shipwreck was incredibly traumatic and, in fact, there were several fatalities. Will the surviving passengers receive any kind of compensation for this?
Answer: How does a refund and a 30 percent discount on a future cruise sound? (New York Post, Deadly shipwreck line offers victims 30% off their NEXT voyage)
