It is more of a corruption issue that Foxx recused herself from the case and then allegedly involved herself on the quiet. That a wealthy man, Jussie, got off, can also be corruption, but is a larger story about the inherent flaws of our system of justice. There seemed to be some near consensus about Jussie, once the…

Would this dimestore, welfare queen have received a stiffer sentence had she been genuinely black? Did she receive a lighter sentence, because she volunteered for the NAACP? Why can people have a lighter sentence, but not a heavier sentence?

Maybe Olivia can sell the rights to her story to Hallmark or elsewhere.

Some of these problems, if not most are not problems unique to the ultra-rich. For example, while $5000 hearing aids are pretty good ones, a few thousand dollars for hearing aids has been a price ordinary health insurance would cough up in recent years, although the price is dropping, due to trade rule changes a few…

The McCains have slots at Service academies and always will, because they have volunteered to fight in America’s wars since the war of 1812 (which unfortunately did include the side of the Confederacy.)  This is a very different kind of legacy than mere wealth, and much harder to attribute to mere greed or base…

PDX (Portland) actually requires airport restaurants that are part of chains that operate outside the airport, to charge prices no higher than they do at their presumably lower rent, outside establishments. That’s sort of the opposite strategy.

The employees do have a Union and so there is a contract.  Kind of hard to say to the airport, we made a deal and have a contract, but, please increase our pay 18% this month.  Thanks in advance!  Instead, they made a contract and then do an end run around the agreement with automatic tips.  

How about Pepperjack?

The glare is a lamp reflecting off the glass of the picture frame. 

Kind of a red herring, because these women are asking to be treated per company policy and for the written rules to be upheld. They are not asking to be treated like men for the most part.  And most guys at MS don’t really sit in each other’s laps. That’s just a rumor spread by HR to recruit from Apple.

It is clearly unconstitutional to make free speech and a free press conditional to ethical conduct.

Isn’t looking at it from this perspective, spin, though? Maybe some cynical type might view this as shaming customers into ponying up. Wouldn’t you feel a bit embarassed or uncomfortable saying you don’t want to pay a service charge for employee health? The more usual response one might expect from people who are not…

Cain’s academics are a bit light, with a B.A. in mathematics, but he was chairman of Kansas City, Federal Reserve bank. That qualifies him. He is qualified, so isn’t calling him a token sort of racist? Let’s be clear that it would be hypocritical to take this position and then even suggest that white people are…

Waco is special. Remember the Branch Davidian siege? Anyway, besides an incompetent prosecutor, the money and resources to do a good job probably were lacking, as a good job would have required a team of lawyers and detectives and millions of dollars to pay them. It really needed to be a Department of Justice case.

Nobody really knows the population numbers for Gaza and the West Bank. Every org or institution that counts has some ulterior motive to exaggerate or minimize numbers.

Clothes can be washed to remove most formaldehyde. Common household products, like a bit of baking soda can help remove more of it.

All real revolutions of history, are violent. Fake revolutions where faces change, but institutions remain, don’t need to be violent, but then nothing changes, except some of the holders of purses.  Not that I want a revolution, but this is just the way it happened.

Surely dinosaurs qualify for a grandfather clause?  Please keep reporting on this story as it evolves.

You know, if you only look at the photo, it looks like Mich is up to something inappropriate behind the podium, there in his awkward way.

If instead of a salad, it could be described as a large garnish, then it would indeed be filling in a relative sense, as garnishes go or it could be filling when accompanied with a large bag of CBD gummies.  CBD Gummies, by the way, now being somewhat controversial, due to children eating them.  What happens when…
