By Walt Hickey Have a great weekend! The Bird It’s a bright new day in America, can you feel it? In a 3-0 decision on Wednesday, a federal appeals court in Michigan upheld an American’s unalienable right to throw up a middle finger when the situation calls for it, a landmark win for the First Amendment, as well as countless New Yorkers who would otherwise be rendered mute. A Michigan woman gave the middle finger to a police officer after receiving a ticket. In light of that god-given articulation of speech, the officer pulled her over again and upgraded the ticket to a worse offense. The free speech martyr, Debra Cruise-Gulyas, will see her suit proceed.
Thanks for ending with the bit about California. On a day filled with bad/terrible news, it's nice to read a good story.
