Janis Ian?

You are quite right. But what remedy? Make the city registrar check back with the owners directly before finalizing the transfer? Any other ideas?

Where is the asbestos coming from? Does it naturally occur in talcum mines or some such?

Superintendent Johnson had a kidney transplant a few years ago. Not a man who should be drinking,

Remember some years ago when all three broadcast networks ran docudramas about the Long Island Lolita ....... in the same week? Now that’s unnecessary!

At least she didn’t ask to hug him.

I find it interesting that everyone here is busy dissecting private equity and nobody turns a hair over Bernie’s plan to set up an American version of Pravda.

The people really pissed over this award are supporters of the teenage Swedish environmental activist. Newsweek is claiming the Norwegian parliament gave the prize to Ethiopia because Norway is a major hydrocarbon exporter.

Well, as I remember from the discussions of that jury charge, the lesser charge wasn’t the judge’s idea but the actual point of law. Had she not mentioned it, it would have been an easy appeal for the defense. Bringing it up was necessary, unpleasant as it was.

How did the judge show favor to Guyger during the trial?

These people never seem to have an endgame planned. Ponzi , Bernie Madoff, the Equity Funding gang and others never had a way out. I do have half a notion that Holmes thought that if they could hold off the reckoning long enough they could have gotten the system to actually work, though it was probably wishful…

The Soviet’s also had a penchant for using hypergolic engines, where two fuel compounds from separate tanks combine and instantly react, without need of an ignition system. They are simpler to build, but one drop of the wrong stuff in the wrong place can be catastrophic. Considering Soviet quality control, they are…

I heard a report Musk is offering to buy out all the residents of Boca Chica town at 3X market value. After a recent test firing set off a brush fire, he may get them all out.

A PAC is a way to consolidate donations to candidates. And how many Republican animal rights advocates are running for office?

In the seventh paragraph of the CBS piece it states: “Buck’s biggest political investment was for more than $300,000 to his political action committee called Animal PAC.”

According to the link below, Buck has donated hundreds of thousands to mostly state and local Dems, enough to buy some impunity. I notice the crimes he has been arrested for here are Federal.

The judge was on the side of the cops? Even though Amber got convicted in a few hours? Even though the opening of the Castle Doctrine everybody complained about has cut off most avenues of appeal for the defense?

So will The Root campaign against the judge at election time? Ironic if Amber Guyger went on trial and the judge ended up punished.

This is a Federal rap. Are there state charges yet?

Very good point. There hasn’t been a truly contested convention in half a century. Nobody knows what that looks like.
