“It is a terrible idea that she is in jail,” Hesson told the newspaper. “But I can’t find a better alternative.”

What a bizarre story. How can this be? The victim is in jail and the defendant is free. There is never accountability in these situations. Just a bunch of hand wringing, government employed asshats. It sounds to me like Dan Hesson should be the one in jail. What’s the problem with an ankle monitor? Pricks.

And when she has nieces and nephews, she can be “Anti-Hero

Anyone who is a fan of Neal Stephenson is sitting up and thinking, “It’s *Hiro* Protagonist!”

I hope her middle name is/will be Protagonist. :)

And Dogma, can’t forget Dogma. He and Matt Damon make that movie.

FTFY.

He was a real dirtbag while he was a scientologist but I generally have sympathy for those sucked in by cults and only hope he tries to make amends to his former wives and children.

Was Scientology responsible for Jason naming his kid Pilot Inspektor??

YES!!!!!

Well she was snarkily called ‘Mrs Melbourne’ behind her back at the time and she did completely refuse to accept the outcome of an election result when he lost. I don’t think it was romantic as such but it’s not like they made it up out of whole cloth. She and Melbourne were tight.

I watch most modern depictions of Tudor History and scream like I am being shanked in the kidneys. Especially The Tudors. That fucking show. Henry VIII never brooded sexily! He went from overly friendly, loudmouth, medieval singalong aficionado (think the fabled Ginger Helmsworth brother) and cafeteria Catholic ; to…

And how everyone around him was all “No...no dude...it’s fine....really, it’s fine...”

Every time I think of Henry VIII, I think about the festering leg-wound. Fucking’ SICK DUDE!!

Totally. Noting historical inaccuracies is completely legit and I enjoy a good “nope, that’s not how it happened” as much as anyone (Molly Brown got that boat to rescue people! Damn it, James Cameron).

Or the Patriot or The Passion of the Christ or basically anything Mel Gibson touches.

Hey, westerns have brought us some good things. No shame.

I learned everything I know about American history from the thousands of westerns my dad used to watch.

“Who wants to tell him about Braveheart?”

Look, it doesn’t matter if the real guy was old and fat. If you cast Rufus Sewell in the role, everyone is going to want to sleep with him.
