CounterCounterPoint: Bad judges are the cutting edge of the axe, but the DA chooses where to swing and how hard. The DA decides who sits for what crimes, and the DA knows where the mandatory minimums lie and what punishments will be associated with what charges.

I saw Prince Fielder steal second at the Metrodome late one season. It wasn’t defensive indifference so much as defensive incredulity.

There's always room for an excellent burger or fries, but in the world of supporting items those three rank high.

Forget broke, I have a pile in my desk drawer now.

Shut it down, wait a few months until the county fair season wraps up, and then put together a new band and start scheduling. Hello Lincoln!
