#1 As a Kansan I say screw phelps-stick it to him pointy, twisting, slow, and deep. I want to hear his caterwauling all the way from Topeka. Been hearing his crap up close and personal for 20 years now and this is way overdue.

#2 Judge Richard Bennett noted the size of the compensatory award "far exceeds the net worth of the defendants,"

Even a puddle of stale piss "far exceeds the net worth of the defendants". Start auctioning off everything they own that isn't nailed down. The entire Phelps clan should exit wearing barrels held up by shoulder straps.

The only thing better would be photographers finding Phelps slumped over his underage gay lover after having expired from a heart attack brought by complications due to being infected with AIDS.

#3 As I understand it, the $2.9M is just for compensatory damages. Punitive damages have not yet been assessed.

#4 Well, Phelps will have to just dig deeper in his pockets. What about OJ's punitive damages? He owes more than he has, but it stood and he owes a huge sum.

Well, the good news is that the family of the fallen Marine, in typical Marine style, agressively attacked the enemy. I imagine that Phelps will rethink his actions on the next one, or take a pass.

#5 If they were not this time, next time each and every individual as well as the "church" leadership should be sued also.

#6 Jesus Zen, I would have settled for the 2.9M and a good ass kickin.

#10 in typical Marine style

One might conclude that messing with Marines, even dead ones, is a bad idea.
