The officer involved, Stephen Stem, was involved in another fatal shooting in early 2013.

Yeah, ummm, I don't really think that Ms. Zhukova's sitting in a chair during a photoshoot and Mr. Sterling's comments are really on par with one another.

I dunno — it seems to me to be pretty fairly balanced, with each possessing something that the other desires.

I feel so blessed that (according to this map, anyway) I was raised in, and then transplanted to, zones which appear to be "Bro-Free."

True. But those people exist. God, how I hate them.

Yes, is is the country's problem. Not her problem, caused by her unique circumstances, and her own bad decisions.

You've successfully established that AZ cut their child care budgets, what you have failed to establish is that Ms. Taylor has hers cut. Until that has been established, your point regarding cuts in benefits — which usually occur for those at the top end of the income limit— is wholly irrelevant to this discussion of…

I'm not sure it is fair to say that someone is "connecting with" another when they have hostile feelings about them. That is sort of the opposite of a connection.

I'm going to take 'Cultural Norms' for $2000, Alex.

And for someone to be proud that they have such strong manipulation skills makes me want to throw up.

Um, no. I'm not sure what her tax liability would be in California. As she isn't a resident, I don't think it is any, but I'm not sure on that.

No worries though, because it'll only cost $30 to register, plus county fees. So, maybe $70 total?

I was dismayed to see it wasn't on the list, and was going to comment thusly. However, you beat me to it. Kudos for your excellent taste in programming, sir.

Wrong. An individual may be ordered out of their car at any lawful traffic stop. If the office has reasonable suspicion that the person is in possession of a weapon or the police officer is otherwise is reasonable fear for his safety, such as because the person is belligerent, the officer may search their person and…

Umm, destroying evidence of a crime is a little bit more than 'non-violent noncompliance.' Police can use reasonable non-deadly force to preserve evidence.

You missed one. It should be a part of every holiday meal. Behold, broccoli casserole.

Test.

I understand that — but my point is that the mother's ability to cope isn't the only concern. It needs to be balanced.

Whatever reason the mother decides to abort is a decision between herself and her doctor, and if you want to call yourself pro-choice, you need to RESPECT that choice, even if it's a choice you don't personally agree with.
