I watch A LOT of children’s television. (I say it’s because of my job. My wife thinks otherwise. I represent kids in family court so often if I need to talk to preschoolers, TV programs are an easy in to be relatable to them.) Mister Rodgers will always be my favorite, even though I’m not sure there has ever been…

God damn it. Here is what bail truly is for: ensuring the person appear at future court hearings. Here is what bail is sometimes also used for: To keep either the defendant safe or the community safe due to particularly egregious crimes. (It’s with this part that I’m of mixed opinions because in a local case there…

Derek Jeter is the Captain...Captain Obvious.

While I realize the impact that Blade Runner has had on subsequent genre movies, both here and abroad, it’s actually a movie I’ve grown to detest. First, it isn’t really an adaptation of ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’ It has more in common with Frankenstein than the alleged source material. (I’m a big PKD…

Fuck you. You just called down upon them the Curse o’ Les Boulez!

Mom and Pop video stores at least had porn in the back room.

That’s more effort than he put in in the last few years at Newcastle.

Honestly, this is one of those shows that I don’t understand. I watched the first and second seasons, and somewhat the third. (My wife watches the show, so I’ve seen enough over the years.) The plot isn’t that interesting, the characters aren’t that particularly interesting. Yet it continues to pull large numbers. I’d…

LaVar is going to punish Lonzo by sending him to Lithuania to think about what he’s just done.

He would have run in there...with a t-shirt cannon, to be followed by paper towels.

I always suggest that people read The Raven, which is the biography of Jim Jones that was written by two of the reporters who were on the tarmac in Jonestown and escaped the shooting. It’s a fascinating look and makes you wonder whether Jones ever believed the things he espoused or whether he realized at a very early…

Would that include everybody at the pharmaceutical companies that pushed opioids creating the epidemic that’s ravaging the country? Because then I MIGHT be able to get behind it.

“Trump’s position is more nuanced”

We’ve only had one locally for about 3 or 4 years, but I will absolutely refuse to step foot into a Hobby Lobby. If I know you’re run by some right-wing religious nut, I will not patronize you. (And it kills me because I buy a lot of art supplies and they very well could be cheaper there than Michael’s or AC Moore,…

It’s very enjoyable to do it with my wife. Definitely make sure everything is kosher before you get going, i.e. well lubed and relaxed. And don’t force anything. If it’s not working one night, just do it another.

Maybe she should learn that she’s too damn old to be having a kid? (Risk in pregnancy increases significantly over the age of 30, and I say this with my mom having been 38 when she had me.)

The safest solution to the gun problem is to ban some types of weapon...

This is the direction of the justice system over the last few decades. In NYS, courts are required to impose not one, but two, fees in a criminal conviction, even if it’s for a violation or low level misdemeanor. (Victims Impact Fee, and a Surcharge) This doesn’t even include the fee that’s imposed if they have to…

Fantastic, right?

I’ll only go so far along the relegation bandwagon, because I do think it deincentivizes teams to tank, but you need to have the structure in place that allows for it, and given that baseball operates on a farm system, it really can’t go that route. Say in that system, the Padres get demoted and Albequrque gets…
