Not really. If this wasn't a hate crime that doesn't retroactively mean that no hate crimes towards gays happen. The defense in any case with a hate crime enhancement has the ability to claim that the crime was motivated by something else (drugs, anger over a failed relationship with the victim, etc) and the jury can…

It's possible that McKinney would rather get the hate crime enhancement than admit that he was bisexual (and still would have been guilty of the murder).

When Newt was running for Pres last time my Dad wondered what would happen to his Senate seat if he won.

You know how kids always want to know how their parents first met. It must be sort of cool if your parents are actors who fell in love while making a movie because you can go watch it and see what they looked like back then.

When my brother got married his fiancee wanted to have a video montage of photos of them at the reception. There were plenty of pictures of him as a toddler and child, but none as a baby.

Women living longer makes no sense as a reason to charge more for insurance. It isn't like health insurance is a one time payment when you turn 18 that covers you for your life. You pay it every month/year/term. The older ladies that live longer will pay more over their life for insurance than the menz that die…

The melting face mask was amazing. The entire Faison as Duke thing was amazing. I loved how everyone was so angry at Duke shooting at Jason and screaming that it was out of character. Duh! Of course it was.

Since Jason left Sonny is, at least on my TV, the most orange. And his style of taking long pauses in sentences drives me crazy. It's like one director once told him it was good in 1998 and he's been just doing it more and more ever since.

I hope that the embryo is Dante and LuLu. If not it's going to just be so depressing when the truth about Maxie's baby comes out. Although, I'm wondering if they are doing a double bluff with that. Maxie is actually going to give birth to Dante/LuLu's baby but Britt lied about the miscarriage/pregnancy stuff because…

They actually explained the Port Charles in a clever way that left it open ended. Either Lucy's vampire slayer stage was a delusion (based on the real danger created by a serial killer named Stephen Clay) or it was all real and Caleb erased the memories of everyone except Lucy. As far as Lucy/Kevin/the town are…

Cartini aren't perfect, but they are fun. Which is something that so much of entertainment is missing. As everything tries to be gritty and realistic there is something just plain fun about a genre that only looks to make the viewer tuning in.

I recommend coming back. I also stopped watching around 2002 because of the endless repeating of the same mob stories. The current show has brought back a bunch of people who had been dropped from the show including Kevin Collins, Lucy Coe, Anna and Duke, Holly, Laura, Scott, and just has Sean Donally on last week.

I watch General Hospital. I am unashamed of my love of the show. Seriously, under the current writing/producing team (the team that used to be with One Life to Live and did the amazing paternity reveal via a dog talking to a baby) the show is a thing of beauty.

I wouldn't be surprised if sex selected IVF was slightly higher for female than male. I know that in adoption there is a higher demand for girls than boys . The study thinks it's because negative outcomes from adoption (i.e. the fiction that adopted children will grow up to be violent serial killers) lead them to…

I've gone through it with guys I've never actually met. I finally left online dating all together because so many guys would just lose it if I would send them an email about how our personalities didn't really seem to click after a few emails or even just reading their profile.

Of course that's the message of ladymags. The point is that all of your problems are the result of something that can be fixed by buying the products advertised in the magazine. Of course this creates a sort of arms race of lady problems. 15 years ago you could have an article on how your guy is going to leave you…

The standard gift I give my parents each year is a two-picture frame with My brother, SIL, and nephew on one side and me and the cats on the other.

The old lady has no idea who Amanda Bynes is. She's doing the same thing that a lot of old ladies do. Teach responsibility. Amanda needs to come work off her debt by, like, spending time with the old lady. And cleaning the house. Weeding the yard. Amanda will hate it at first (because the old lady is so ugly). But…

Yeah, I think you need to do a little research. Sean Penn was arrested at least twice for incidents with paparazzi, most recently in 2010. Jude Law was arrested in 2007. Russell Brand in 2010. Lily Allen was arrested in 2007. And at the time they all got media attention. The fact that you didn't remember any of them…
