Very well said, thank you. People just don't understand the legal system, or how it really works. So, I am always happy to see explanations like this that really give insight to people who take the time to read them. I don't think any of these guys will get a life sentence, but hopefully they'll each get a couple of…

I think he just reminds me of many of the men I dated (ill-advisedly) in my 20's and early 30's. So, my scenario isn't as bright. But for his sake, and for the sake of his future partners, I hope I am wrong! Like my Mama always said, "don't judge a book by its cover." Guilty!

Interesting point of view. I'm guessing you are much more naturally optimistic than I am, which is probably a good thing.

I find it incredibly hard to believe that Megan Fox's best on-screen kiss was with Shia "the beef." He seems like the type of guy who has really rubbery and wet lips that kind of flip-flap all around your mouth but don't really hit the mark. I might have known a few of those in my time. Just my two cents.

Well said!!!

The thing that offended me the most about this song when it first came out was the shout out of "respect" to kids "buying bottles with their rent money." Really?? Respect for that? No thanks. Where's the outrage against financial irresponsibility?

Yes, she does. Did you know Harvard Law accepted her husband, but rejected her because, you know, women need to be in the kitchen and have babies, etc.? Bet they regret that decision. Or maybe they don't because they are assholes.

Bahahahaha! Me too!! I would totally buy a horn that did that. Embarassment works, but really only on the middle-aged set. The teens give me unmitigated looks of scorn, but they do put the phone down. Even if it's just until I pass. I consider that a win.

I am disappointed that it's not more traditional, but I'm sure I just revealed myself as an old fart who was totally into her Wonder Women Underoos back in the day.

The, fuck???? Can't you just get that kind of stuff online now by paying a nominal fee???

I wish they made a radar gun that accomplished that. I'd turn my car into a mobile cell phone blocker.

I do that too! I give them a stink eye and then blow the hell out of my horn. Regardless of drift or not. If they are texting while pushing the gas pedal, they get the horns. I'm over this shit. I need a more aggressive horn, though. But I have made people look shamefaced and put their phone away. So, mission…

Can't say I feel that bad for this guy. Too many women were unwittingly sterilized in this country while undergoing what they thought were simple gall bladder surgeries, or appendix removals. But knowing a typical U.S. jury, this guy is going to get tons of money.

I pray for this trend. Sadly, I have more than one witch hair on my chin thanks to my Russian great-grams.

Ahh! I thought I was the only one! I've always said that I would happily graft some of my prolific eyebrow hair onto some rich bald-guy's head for the right price. No matter how much I have plucked (lo, these 3+decades), they still roar back. At least I can rest easy knowing at least one part of my body is…

If you were to open one of the journals I kept while a drama and newspaper nerd in high school, circa 1990, the overwrought dreck you would read would STILL read better than this crap. Just barely, though.

UGH!!!! A well done article, but the sentiments expressed by the folks using that hashtag make me stabby. Feminism is responsible for voting rights, for women being able to own property, for women being allowed to have children on their own without getting stoned to death, to be sex-workers if they so choose, to be…

Well, I am just spouting off at this point. You're right on that. But I am a lawyer and the theory behind criminal law is punishment to better society. The theory is that as a society, we have all agreed upon these rules and that the upholding of these rules does make society better. It's true, I'm not just being a…

Agreed. I hope we do hear a resolution, but Jez isn't that great on following up. Only stirring the pot.

You would never be chosen to sit on a jury. You woudn't pass the voire dire.
