Doesn't really excuse him from the Darwin Awards though

Certainly not funny, but there's a good longform piece on Warmbier, which argues convincingly that his condition was probably the result of a bungled suicide attempt.

Back to the topic: there was the case where a protester swore at an (Australian?) politician, calling him a "loving rear end in a top hat". The politician sued for defamation but lost the case after the court ruled it was "legitimate political comment".

It is, we tried that a month ago to prop up oil prices.
Forget the strategic oil reserve, the whole world is over 70% of storage capacity and the negative price of oil futures reflects the fact that tanker ship and pipeline operators are being paid to not deliver oil.

Biden will have alzheimer's so hard by then that they can't impeach him for that because he won't know he had a son. Can't be impeached for a child you don't remembers actions.

There is a sad ending to this though -- eventually the government had to pay out to his ancestors for the land:

After a 5-4 decision stating that the government improperly took the land, of course.

Also fun fact -- Marbury vs. Madison was the first time SCOTUS overturned a law for being against the constitution, establishing judicial review. Want to know what the second time they did that was? Dredd Scott.

During the water wars over the Colorado River, the Arizona governor deployed the equivalent of the Arizona National Guard against California, which itself is pretty funny, but if I remember correctly those same troops had to later be rescued by Californians.
