Signatures are no longer required for credit transactions in the U.S. as of some months ago, in 2018.  Not every establishment will have changed their practices as yet.

The Root was alleging real racism against black people in anti-Pit bull laws, in an article, only weeks ago. I knew this old guy, may he rest in peace, who was out walking his two dogs on long chains in the yard on his small ranch. The dogs became excited and ran in circles around him, tied his legs together with the…

The Constitution doesn’t discuss a President Pardoning himself, not because of intent, but because the concept that the President’s own Executive branch, Prosecutors, prosecuting their sitting President, without the President firing them for insubordination, would have been unthinkable in that day and age. The…

I am sorry, but it is the Rosemary and Olive Oil, flavored Triscuit that is the best. But, I have to admit Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil is not a cullinary crime like Chicken-In-A-Biscuit.

“Do What U Want” was for sure an unfortunate title and probably moving up in download numbers, to a very visible position in the Lady Gaga, iTunes catalog. So, it seems doubtful that clearing the way to an Oscar is the sole motive for delisting the song. If there is a marketing agreement such that R. Kelly can also…

A permit for collecting roadkill, hunting or trapping, might be legally required.

It just makes the RBG Deathwatch a bit more prominent. But, as for cancer, as she is cancer free, she probably has a few more years before surgery would be like whack-a-mole and ill advised. Experimental cancer treatments for this situation might be advanced enough to try by that time. Given that the broken ribs and…

He would be wise to watch his step though. Blacklist activists are carefully examining his past. Like the video clip of him letting Louis C.K. use the N-word years ago.  He can be blacklisted in the future.

A President has the power to pardon, but he is no judge.  There is an arbitrary leap of logic to decide that a Pardon is a Judgement or Court Decision.  It is the opposite, a check and balance on the power of the Judiciary.

Keep your signed first editions, and if you want to do some literary signaling to insure that your guests know you are not a hillbilly, then list your favorites on social media and keep a kindle open to a library on your coffee table. Otherwise, time to bring an end to the musty clutter.  This is the 21st century and…

The police department has this policy of issuing a trespass to any business requesting one on a call.  Maybe they need to rethink that.  Not every police department does this, unconditionally.  They could issue one only if there appears to be some conduct that justifies it.  But, if there isn’t the cops might be…

I think the author of the texts was sort of going for, “I could eat you alive,” or something almost as bad.  At least some degree of enthusiasm and urgency was expressed.  What is interesting to me about this situation is that Bezos Ex is obviously hotter than his honey.  Isn’t that so often the case? The photo out…

Well, of course, but sometimes they might be frustrated trying to tear them and go away.

It could be a sort of rape defense.  There are a few different fibers used in bullet proof vests, these days, so “Used in bullet proof vests,” is often how items like this are described in advertising, it really doesn’t mean much.  I mean, ballistic nylon, Kevlar, Spectra, and there may be a couple of cutting edge new…

I would expect most sentences will be dropped and records expunged. Maybe some sort of window dressing, fakey opportunities will be offered to people of modest income in neighborhoods impacted by the change. But, most of the money will go to wypipo , and POC entrepreneurs who already are pretty comfortable,…

Well, obviously the wypipo burnout cases, who will be the owners of non-corporate pot shops are going to have problems with loans and business relationships too. But, they can afford to operate on a cash basis, most of them.

Money doesn’t mean big money, necessarily, but it represents income for a lot of people. 

Bill Cosby used to call out the “Black community” much the way this post does, back when he had considerable, if undeserved moral authority. It is possible that Bill would not be where he is now, if he had not expended his accumulated, good will, doing that instead of saving it. I would be the last to suggest it is…

The point I was making was not about the consumer, but about a change in who makes the money in that industry.

It is here in the twenty or so jurisdictions that have legalized, but not yet in most of the country.  The point of the story is that it is not yet in NY, right?
