Courts Block Washington Violent Game Law

Thanks to Reuters/Yahoo for their report that the enforcement of a Washington state law, designed to restrict the sale of violent video games to minors, has been postponed. U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik blocked enforcement of the law, set to start July 27th, and to impose fines on anyone selling games to minors depicting violence against 'law enforcement officers', saying: "Plaintiffs have raised serious questions regarding the constitutionality of House Bill 1009 and the balance of hardships tips in their favor." Doug Lowenstein of the IDSA praised the move, praising "..the judge's finding that games are a form of protected speech like music and movies", but the Washington Democrat politician sponsoring the bill suggested that "..any injunction would only be preliminary and that.. the case [will] go to trial." The saga continues..

    I was sitting at work today, in my cubicle. I didn't want to get up and leave because my boss eas outside and I didn't want to talk to him. I had to pee really bad, though. Anyway, after sitting there for a few minutes, I couldn't hold it anymore. I peed, and the back of my skirt got really wet from it, as well as my pantyhose. It was really embarrassing, and I had to pull up my skirt and pull my pantyhose down in the cubicle to wipe the pee off. That was scary because I kept thinking I was going to get caught in a compromising position. I had to stay in my cubicle until everyone else went home to avoid people knowing that I had peed myself. I'm looking for suggestions to prevent this from happening again. Thanks for any advice.
