I guess the Sheriff is technically correct, in that none of this would have happened if she hadn’t disrupted class (which, in addition to being something that kids her age do, might also be because she’s an orphan living in foster care). But it’s also correct that none of this would have happened if the class clowns

The only way I can imagine Hilary looking even more like a boss is if she brought signed copies of her book for everyone on the committee.

The PETA group at my high school used to do similar things. They would always complain that people were trying to silence them, and that they had a right to be heard (even though nobody was trying to suppress their voice or views—most just weren’t listening because they weren’t interested). When someone started a

The pope has made it pretty clear that the church is opposed to both Abortion and the Death Penalty, so from a religious perspective it’s a pretty inconsistent position.

After witnessing a 30-06 loss, it was impossible for this bunch of Texans to think about anything else other than guns.

Daily fantasy is bullshit—it’s like the “video poker” machines that are actually slot machines commonly used in places that have legalized poker rooms but not slots or table games. I fail to see how it’s any better than allowing people to place bets on the outcome of a single sporting event, as long as the company

The Nazi memorabilia reminds me of one of my favorite sports owners of all time—Marge Schott—back when one crazy, moderately-rich person could still buy a team on their own and treat it as their own personal fiefdom. When she was buying the Reds she was questioned about her ownership of some Nazi memorabilia

Isn’t the issue with the overall corporate fleet (ALL Chevy cars or ALL Porsche cars, not just individual models)? Chevy can probably get away with the Corvette—relatively small production compared to the majority of what they sell, whereas Porsche 911’s still make up a very large percentage of their overall sales

And yet no Judge bats a fucking eyelash when the league suspends a black player for 2 games for being arrested on charges of possession of marijuana that are later dropped, and passing a drug test.

It would also be nice if dealers actually put all of their inventory onto the system as well, since finding the time to call and find out what they might have during normal business hours isn’t always an option. But yes, actual photos of the cars interior and exterior are a must—especially when looking at certain cars

and 4-wheel steering!

Every textbook on this subject should begin with the acknowledgement that, beyond any equivocation, explanation or excuse, that the idea that one person can own the body of another is disgusting and morally reprehensible. Too many textbooks equivocate and seem to imply that, well, it was kinda OK at the time (and I

You can get some pretty good deals on some 996/997 turbos though... the 964 and 993 are particularly expensive nowadays (especially ones in good condition) because they represent what some people to be the last true era of Porsche—the engines still relied on air cooling, rather than the switch to liquid cooling in the

I’ve worked with a lot of people who think they do a better job than their co-workers and deserve as much or more money, when in fact they don’t (or don’t yet, if we’ve highlighted a few specific things in a performance review, that if they do them, would result in their getting a raise or bonus). Typically, they end

But if he wasn’t convicted of the Marijuana charge, and didn’t fail their drug test, they shouldn’t be punishing him for it (and I’d like to know what the “Motor Vehicle Violation” was that he was stopped for—and why he would have consented to the search). Not that I think anyone should be punished for possession at

There’s really no hard and fast rule, except to always look at the numbers and make a sensible decision based on the facts/numbers. Depending on the type of car, money factor/interest rate, buyout amount, term of lease, how many miles you drive per year, how long you keep cars, opportunity cost, etc it may or may not

Yeah, because Fr. Celibacy is definitely an expert on the issue of sex and how babies are made. I’m confused though—is it the scraping they do in the rape kit, or the hormones the body emits during “legitimate rape”, that prevent pregnancy? If it’s the scraping, then taking Plan B isn’t causing an abortion, since you

I’m pretty sure that the price of a haircut was also an issue for Hillary (or perhaps it was Tipper Gore) when Bill was President in the 90’s. It’s also one of the more sexist points that anyone can bring up—the woman is in the running to be the leader of the free world and is obviously expected to look put-together.

First of all, Judge Gorcyca seems really obsessed with this whole idea of “going to the bathroom in front of other people”. I’d check her courtroom bathroom to make sure she isn’t pulling a Chuck Berry. Second, WTF?

I think you’re mistaken about the difference between reasonable suspicion to stop, question and frisk, and probable cause to make an arrest.
