It's the "burning bed" theory. A wife who has been abused for years and years finally kills her husband and is found not guilty/the crime is considered justified. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francine_…

He has a good mama and I wish them the very best.

He was the first person I thought of, hoping that he, indeed, was perfect!

"And I cry all night, do you wanna hold me, hold me tight?"

I wish! I was driving through the Hills of Hollywood and he came roaring past me. I was driving my grandma's white Oldsmobile Delta 88; not sure why he didn't stop and ask me out...

To this day, I love John Taylor, who still has that amazingly wide smile. And I still drop what I'm doing if the Rio video comes on TV for any reason.

When I moved to Los Angeles after college (1989), Billy Idol was the first celebrity I saw. He was on a Harley and looked like a bad-ass.

I think the person has to be symptomatic, though, so if they were on a plane with no symptoms, you should be OK. Still, it's creepy.

So, stay home and finish decorating the nursery. Win-win. Seriously, my husband is an internist, a former state epidemiologist and is currently a hospital admin. I will let you know what he says tonight, if it helps. :-)

There are researchers at UT-Austin who are working around the clock on a vaccine. Not sure how close they are.

That is likely what happened, i.e., someone was exposed and got on a plane to Dallas before exhibiting symptoms. The patient's travel history + symptoms are what clued in the doctors.

At least he is changing it a little bit at a time. Let's support him on that level and maybe others will turn, too.

I believe this is one of the first videos I ever shared on the internet. That and the one where the cat jumps out from behind the bush and knocks down the toddler.

Yeah, didn't this happen in Houston recently and the manager told the rude folks to leave and not come back?

I agree; I actually really root for her because she doesn't *seem* to have a mean bone in her body and if she inspires other young women to feel good about themselves-at any size that is healthy for that woman-then bully for her.

That's a good teacher and a good dad. And I hasten to add that I still love this country, for all the faults that we have; in fact, because I am OK knowing about the bad stuff, I feel more patriotic than those who would hide the truth because I know we can always be better. Besides, what are they so afraid of? That…

I hope someone else who went to UT-Austin will chime in but I had a history professor named Tom Philpott who walked into class on the first day and screamed, "Everything you've ever learned about American history is WRONG!" and proceeded to list the atrocities perpetrated on minorities (Native Americans, African…

My son's private school (in Austin) has actually gone the other direction and become more liberal in their history education...which is exactly why he is there and not in the TX public school system.

Not being an attorney, I just learned the phrase, "excited utterance", which means something that someone says while witnessing a crime, i.e., can be permissible as evidence. If her 911 call happened soon enough after the event she describes, the prevailing wisdom is that she wasn't lying. Lawyers, does this fall…

Oh, I get you now. By the way, you don't have to "pay" for a name change.
