She was appointed to the case because she was one of the few defense attorneys in the region willing to defend low-income defendants. So I'd suspect she received very little money, if any, for defending him. And if you're a defense attorney, you would understand that sometimes you get to defend someone who is not…

Ecto-cooler, obviously.

"inside sources suspected," "it's entirely possible," and the other sources "cited" in this article are all baloney. If there was real news out there, it'd be reported. This article is the equivalent of that girl you went to high school with vague-booking about "haters." It's long on conspiracy and short on facts.

Your candidate having fewer votes doesn't count as "disenfranchised." It's called democracy in action.

I would also like to add that her job, as a lawyer, was to defend people. This is what guarantees people the right to a fair trial. You can like it or dislike it, but defense lawyers sometimes have to defend really awful people who actually committed crimes. It's the cost of living in a free society. If we held…

They also have a lot of monk bros with maces.

I got the impression he was one of those people whose real skill is knowing what people need to hear to get them on their side. He's amazing at getting people to do what he wants. Whether he uses that as a force for good or evil, we shall see.

What the world needs more of (by which I mean, what I need more of) is Alexander Siddig on my television.

I just found a place on our website where "public" was misspelled as "pubic." We apparently train people to serve in "large, pubic organizations."

I really liked Childhood's End, even though I hate the way he writes women characters. I was too pissed off by the end of the Odyssey series to check out Rendezvous with Rama, but if it comes with your seal of approval perhaps I will pick it up.

Eh, it's fine, just spend a thousand years floating frozen in the Kuiper Belt and eventually someone will find you and thaw you out. Who needs time travel?

I have never been prouder of my alma mater.
