 The People vs Oedipus
At birth, Oedipus’ life was determined by the prophecy given to Laios and Iocaste by "not Phoibos himself, but from his appointed ministers" that he would kill his father and sleep with his mother.
When it came down to faith dealing Oedipus a bad hand, it can be argued that Laios and Iocaste are the ones who dealt him the bad hand as they could have handled the situation differently, and thereby, they could have contributed preventing Oedipus from committing murder and incest.
Even though it may not be possible to handle and to predict life, it is always wiser to respond to it instead of reacting to it.

Queen Iocaste certainly feared and believed in fate but she does not believe that prophecies, oracles and soothsayers could see the fate of others.
Queen Iocaste believes that fate is preset and cannot be changed as supported by this quote, "Why should anyone in this world be afraid because fate rules us anyway…" (Oedipus Rex, 49) There are other instances in the text where she refers to this idea but the previous quote is very clear and concise.
Queen Iocaste on the other hand knew that fate was uncontrollable but she just wanted to let life take its course and just let her fate come out as she went along in life.

 Law Dork: Plain Dealer Holds Back Two Stories, Fearing Reprisals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
If the Plain Dealer possesses documents that it obtained from someone who leaked them illegally, it does not matter whether the Plain Dealer publishes an article about them or not; if a prosecutor wants to investigate the leak, he or she will have the power to subpoena the Plain Dealer.
Unless the prosecutor said, "Give me everything at the PD," I'm not sure how he or she would be able to get the relevant documents in the absence of some publication indicating the subject of the documents.
With no information about how the PD got the questionable documents or what they address, Iocaste's criticism is baseless; in light of the constitutional landscape, it's also questionable legal analysis.

 Dramatic Irony in Sophocles' "Oedipus the King"
The point here is to try to appreciate what might be the particular effects Sophocles seems to be concerned to use dramatic irony to evoke in this particular work, and what might be the thematic ends these in turn could be serving.
Remember, this is being spoken by Choragos to the Choros ("men of Thebes"), who within the scene of the play, have been spectators of the action concerning Oedipus and Iocastê.
In this respect, the Choros is parallel to Sophocles' direct audience, the men of Athens, his audience.

These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.
Iocaste has excellent analysis of the today's 11th Circuit decision (scroll to "Update 2.") I'll just add a brief note about the dissent from the first decision.
As Iocaste notes, in addition to the attempt to claim jurisdiction based on the obscure "All Writs" statute (which seems like a stretch, but is not clearly wrong), the dissent tries to argue for an ordinary injunction, which requires a "substantial probability" of success.

 Creon -- Oedipus
Apparently, according to the shepherd, Iocaste instructed him to get rid of the baby, to which Oedipus proclaimed: "An unspeakable mother!" Furthermore, the shepherd said that instead of killing the child, he pitied it and gave him to the messenger who used to be a herdsman in his youth.
However, the shepherd claimed that he had given the child to the messenger and the messenger in turn gave the child to King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth.
If all of this is true, then that child must be Oedipus, which means that he had inadvertently fulfilled the prophecy by killing his biological father, Laios, and marrying his biological mother, Iocaste.
