House votes to expand definition of stalking

The Associated Press

Sending unwanted text messages or e-mails could soon be considered stalking in Utah.
The House voted Friday to update the state's definition of stalking.
Actions that cause distress, such as sending messages, taking photographs or repeatedly showing up at friends' or relatives' homes, would be stalking under the proposal.
Delivering items to someone's home or workplace could also be considered stalking under House Bill 493. The measure is supported by prosecutors and victim advocates.
HB 493 will now be heard in the Senate.

I wonder how this happened :)

Bomb Shell Explodes in Congress Boeing Loser to Airbus for replacement U.S. Airtankers

By Kevin Drawbaugh 1 hour, 42 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. Air Force decision awarding a $35 billion aircraft contract to a team including the European parent of Airbus landed like a bomb in Congress on Friday, drawing howls of protest from lawmakers aligned with the loser, America's Boeing Co.

Of course it doesn't help that the two Senators from Washington State are anti-military female Democrats, and Boeing's new HQ is in Barack Obama's State.

WOW!
