The former Mrs. Howard Hamm is being diminished in importance by the courts. Women's rights.

Good for her! Well, lookey thar. It is Howard and his estranged spouse at a "Time 100." So, let me get this right, Continental Oil never benefited from the bride of Howard Hamm, nor did he. Liar!

The courts like to discriminate against women as significant to the careers of their husbands. Really? I suppose Mrs. Hamm simply stayed home and backed cookies, right? 
Oh, wait, in our political realm in the USA baking cookies can win an election. I do believe cookie baking and the like came up during the first campaign of Former President Clinton and again with Ann Romney. So, women's "House Frau" image in the Republican dynasties of oil is important for elections, but, not for marriages. Now, who is it exactly that has double standards?

The judge indicated he would consider awarding alimony to Arnall in a subsequent hearing.
Haralson ruled Nov. 10 on the division of assets in the case after an eight-week trial that largely occurred behind closed doors to protect sensitive information about Continental....
