there's actually a very good chance that this will not stand up to appeal.

From the article, it sounds like a way better chance they settle before we find out what the appeals court would rule.

I hope not, I hope the Hulk is going trough with just for the fuck of it and to show that Gwaker can be attacked so that all the others who have a case against them attack too.

I have tried putting it into words. Alas, I am not mature or wise enough. What I do know is that we need to refresh and reinforce our checks and balances.

How the fuck is the government entitled to tax on emotional damages? With all the power of my imagination I can't imagine why this private money is in any way connected to the idea of a social contract. It's like the government taking money from capital gains, gifts, and winnings. It's just an easy way for them to double and triple dip.

Thanks for sharing. It's interesting to know a little about how things actually work behind the attention-grabbing headlines.

The other question is whether Gawker had insurance that might cover some portion of the judgement.

Its not about how much he gets, but about how much Gwaker will lose.
