Heh. My SO dated X Lennon, whose brother, dancer John Lennon, lived in the Dakota at the same time as that other John Lennon. They were always trading misdelivered mail.

"Legally nebulous" means they can't get convictions. The Texas case in the Esquire article resulted in all 23 (26?) peeps getting off, because the evidence was not collected in in a legal manner.

"...when they say only 5% of convicted sex offenders re-offend in three years, does this mean they don't rape or whatever again? Or does that mean that only 5% are arrested in three years?"

Oh, I agree, but I'm not sure why.

Hearted for the 'what's up with that?'

(sorry I couldn't find a clip with the original green vogon)

Hearted.

Evanna Lynch; not loving those shoes with that outfit, but the dress and bag are perfect. She's just adorable.

Also; Shoes match the outfit, or match each other? (With HBC you never know).

And why does he rock his boring suit bettter than any of the other guys?

As a raised-catholic, I've seen more corpses at wakes than I ever wanted to. None of them looked natural or 'pretty', even when they weren't made up as clowns: dead people look dead. Trying to get around this fact seems to be missing the point.

"Children born into slave families probably had a higher likelihood of having both parents around at that point, ... Divorce wasn't really a common thing back then"

"Many studies show that exposing babies to cigarette smoke in utero is a horrible idea.."

I'm sorry to hear about your migraines. I had godawful cramps when I was younger, but they eased as I aged.

Yeah, I don't think it matters what the charges were, she was convicted of 4 counts of lying to the police (false information)

Wow. The Esquire article and particularly the RS/Vanessa Grigoriadis article were super disturbing.

Not just you. I've never taken a BC pill in my life, went straight to IUD (over 30 years now. I keep hearing about this miraculous thing called 'menopause', but it hasn't happened yet).

"I think it's fishy that all the jurors demanded absolute proof, when that is really not usually possible"

I don't actually see 'correspondent' as much different than a 'pundit'. She's not out counselling victims; all she's doing, basically, is following and commenting on cases.
