According to the news story on www.news.yahoo.com David Steward of Des Moines, Iowa was fired from his job at the Catfish Bend Casino in Burlington after posting a comic strip on the office bulletin board from the Dilbert Comic series.

Mr. Steward was fired from his position with the Casino as a result of mangement finding the comic to be "very offensive" and as a result he petitioned for unemployment benefits which were denied by his former employer and resulted in the lawsuit presided over by the Honorable Administrative Law Judge Lynette Donner.

According to the news article the exchange in the comic was as follows:

"Why does it seem as if most of the decisions in my workplace are made by drunken lemurs?"
"Decisions are made by people who have time, not people who have talent."
"Why are talented people so busy?"
"They're fixing the problems made by people who have time."

Hon. Donner ruled that posting the comic did not represent intentional misbehavior but however did represent "a good-faith error in judgment."
