A word on Werner Spitz, who’s mentioned in this post. I’ve now been a prosecutor for 15 years. He was called as an expert witness in literally the first case I ever worked on.

Burke was 9 years old when his sister died, and she was sexually assaulted. Male DNA recovered from her panties did not match that of any family member.

That settles it then.

My 16 year old daughter died on May 29th of this year.

Okay so I’m not the only one that doesn’t think it’s naturally occurring.

Agreed. Jolie is the ultimate STUNT QUEEN. Can’t fucking stand her. I doubt women want to be friends with her. She seems like a super competitive mean girl. Not to mention she’d try to run off with your husband the second you turn your back.

Don’t even go there

What about kids of parents that just really hate each other but are still married?

Someday, after I become ridiculously wealthy and successful, I will throw a fabulous annual holiday party called Fifth Christmas and only children whose parents are divorced will be allowed to come. And we will drink and be merry and bitch about our parents.

They are all over Michigan. I would doubt any one of these damned fools has even been to a southern state, they just love the racism.

Slightly off topic but I saw a truck with a confederate battle flag on it with Rhode Island plates in Rhode Island and I really don’t know what to think anymore.

I don’t really have a problem with the name, but it’s like the college course equivalent of clickbait. Most people who’ll take it will probably go in like “Oh, this’ll probably be about the institutionalized white power structure and it’s pervasive racial oppression throughout the western world”, but a republican…

Not just university courses, but bike lanes! From Steve Nass’ wiki page:

What?!?!? He wakes her up on purpose cuz he’s lonely/horny knowing that she’ll die too? What the ever loving fuck is that? They couldn’t have come up with something happening to her pod too, like just when he’s about to commit suicide in despair or something? Especially since Laurence Fishbourne’s pod is damaged too?…

Between this and Jennifer Lawrence’s blatant desecration of a sacred Hawaiian space during filming, yeah fuck this movie.

pretty sure that photo—while a classic—is nonethless quite misleading in that the flag-holder is a fellow protester and not about the spear the black man in front of him.

If you’re not wearing underwear, how do you keep the penises from falling in?

It’s not surreal, it’s classical.

Every time I look at the picture of him with his finger pointed in the air, mid-shout, I get chills. It’s horrifying and yet it’s one of the best-composed pictures I’ve ever seen; the tie still ramrod-straight and yet tilted with the raising of his arm, the fact that the gun is almost an after-thought in his moment of…
