Yep, I hope that wasn't what happened. I'm hoping that it was an overzealous prosecutor instead of a cop, because I'd rather a lawyer take the hit for this. If a cop is requesting a warrant directly from the judge for this, I hope the judge is asking for actual facts and making a decision on the information…

The responsibility for the warrant is solely on the judge who issued it, unless fraudulent evidence was presented to the judge by an officer of the court. If there wasn't sufficient evidence, the judge shouldn't have issued a warrant.

The police aren't supposed to investigate an arrest warrant. That's a legal order—a summons with muscles. When an arrest warrant is issued, cops act as marshals for the court, not as investigators.

To be fair, Cincinnati chili tastes like ass.

Usually, Chris didn't do the narration on the race broadcasts. He did extra reporting, grid walks, interviews with drivers who dropped out, etc.

"Chris, what's it like up there?"

So did the older refs sell out the younger workers, or is a 401k better?

The one about Jimmy the Greek had a narrator speaking as Jimmy, which 86'd it for me.

I want a switch on the dashboard: "Jetsons" or "Flintstones."

Crazy commissioners bailing water as the league goes down are worth having, because they're fun to watch.

Except for the part where they have to carry a big, heavy, expensive battery pack, electric cars are a good idea.

Someone who has a Bentley is a prospect to own a Porsche, too, and an Audi for the nanny to chauffeur the kids.

If there's anything Porsche loves, it's building tiny numbers of obscure variations.

Meh. Essentially, that would be the old BMW 8 series, which was too big and heavy to be a real sports car, and too cramped to be a useful sedan substitute.
