Man sues over arrest for wearing "Occupy" jacket in Supreme CourtOctober 18, 2012 | Reuters **SNIP** A second officer told Scott the jacket was "a sign, a demonstration" that he could not wear inside the court without being arrested for unlawful entry, the suit said. When Scott said that he didn't understand, he was arrested. Federal prosecutors later dismissed the charge, but Scott is now seeking damages from the government. He argues that he should have been allowed to remain on the property and that his jacket constituted "pure speech" protected by the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.

Folks, I need to find a coat / jacket / cape that I saw at a high school football game. The weather was really cold and the players on the sidelines had a cape / jacket type cover. It did not appear to be just a XXXL type jacket. Rather it seemed to be DESIGNED to go over the pads. I've done a Google search but don't really know what I'm looking for search word wise. Can anyone offer some insight or point me to a vendor? Thanks

The mother searched the school’s lost and found for the coat, then decided to turn to eBay for a replacement. After finding a seemingly identical coat, she noticed that the seller was from Hillsboro. The mother alerted another bidder that the coat might be stolen, and...

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian man built up a 40,000-volt charge of static electricity in his clothes as he walked, leaving a trail of scorched carpet and molten plastic and forcing firefighters to evacuate a building.

When he walked into a building in the country town of Warrnambool in the southern state of Victoria on Thursday, the electrical charge ignited the carpet. "It sounded almost like a firecracker", Clewer told Australian...

Or was he cheating? :) It looks like President Bush was having a little fun at Kerry's expense last night right before the debate commenced. This three still-shot sequence from my TIVO recording of Fox News Channel's debate coverage, clearly shows President Bush reaching into his suit jacket and pulling out a white pen.

The classified reading room is on the 6th floor of the National Archives at College Park complex - the world's largest and most advanced archival facility in the world. The records vaults (each larger than most people's homes) for classified docs are also on that floor, as are the offices for the archivists and technicians who handle them. Employees can go up to that floor, but once there, everything is super-secured. You can't get out of the hall without the proper clearance and magnetic access badge that doubles as your ID badge. At the time, I had a Secret-level...
