Catch As Kasky Can
San Francisco activist Mark Kasky recently sued Nike making deceptive statements about their labor practices in their ads, and the California Supreme Court found in his favor. But don't companies enjoy the same free speech protections citizens do? The US Supreme Court will soon decide.

Now he wants an investigation of how 9/11 happened. Plus, no hope in dope?
