(For those late in the game, Madelyn Dunham is Barack Obama's grandmother who died the day before election day, and effectively raised Obama).
Now, my response to this news is to go up to Fred Phelps, restrain him and his family, knock on his head and say "HELLO! YOU OWE TEN MILLION DOLLARS TO ANOTHER FAMILY YOU PROTESTED AGAINST! AREN'T YOU BANKRUPT?!? ANYONE IN THERE?!?"
It makes me want to point that story over to the military family's lawyers and say "You know, I think the federal courts should be made aware of this..." To the Secret Service and to Obama's transition team, I'd say "Hey, this guy's been a threat to you for too long, and he has a judgement against him that from the outset looks like he's ignoring. Can you do something about that?"

The CBC reports that Fred Phelps and his not so merry band of funeral protesters will be barred from entering the Dominion of Canada.
Excerpts:
Canadian border guards are under orders to prevent members of a fundamentalist American church from crossing into Canada to protest at the Saturday funeral for a Winnipeg man brutally killed on a Greyhound bus last week...
"God is punishing Canada for passing laws against WBC — by exposing Canadians as cannibals and highway decapitaters," the church says in a news release on its website, which refers to McLean as "The Headless Canadian."...
"Entering Canada by a U.S. citizen isn't an absolute right, and if you're coming here only to disrupt the social order and to promote what we consider to be bordering on hate crimes or hate language, they shouldn't come into Canada," Martin said....
