People sit in jails for years without a start to a trial. The prosecutors can ask for “more time” for literally 3, 4, 5 years. Judges defer to prosecutors. The New York Times had a long series of articles about people killing themselves while in jail after giving up. The right to an attorney and the right to a speedy…

A lawyer would argue that revealing secrets might be protected by the First Amendment. The government can avoid that whole line of reasoning by focusing only on the computer crime. It’s a way to be sure to get him for something.

I doubt he’s ever molested her, but I’m certain he has molested himself about her.

The values voters of the religious right are glad to have a Christian leading the nation. It’s perfectly rational for the American Family Association and the Family Research Council to support the traditional marriage of this loving husband and father.

Species that have existed for millions of years cannot just cope and adapt with the pace of transformation we push onto the planet. You have to consider the time it takes them to reach sexual maturity, how often they’re fertile, how long gestation is, etc. Our coal plants and mountaintop removal are faster than that.…

That’s just an especially good photo of him.  Check him out when he’s got sunken gray alcoholic eyes and lots of acne.

Florida Man Is Ignorant Fool.  We knew this already.  :(

I remember when TheFacebook was only available at about 6 universities. It was such an incredibly useful product! RAs announced programs for dorms, TAs announced study sessions, students could coordinate their own meetings, people got help on homework without leaving the library, the dining halls had giveaways of…

“I took a biology class in 10th grade, so I’m pretty sure all the scientists are wrong. After all, what they’re telling me feels wrong. My tenth grade education and my feelings are sufficient for me!” - every southern creationist and everyone in Donald Trump’s administration

I’m not convinced that this crime is as old and commonplace as you think. Rich people are taking the SAT in their own homes without a proctor. They’re also paying other people to take the SAT for them, and they’re paying to have their SAT scores altered after the fact. That’s wild. Did that really happen all the time…

Yes, God should come down here and kill all the bigots.  Bring it on!

Before my nephew could speak, people said he was a “ladies’ man” who “flirted” with women, girls, and female infants.

Don’t give him any credit for that snowball. He didn’t even collect it from outdoors. He took it from a freezer. All he did is say that if you plug a working freezer into an outlet, the freezer gets cold. He proved a point about appliances. It’s not related in any way.

Why are 7-year olds “fans” of anyone?  That’s why there’s hate.  Teach your kids subtraction, and send them to play in the mud.  Celebrities will rot their minds before have minds.

It also sounds like Donald Trump had trouble fitting up the staircase, and then blamed the staircase.  Dude, people in the 1700's were not 350 lbs.  They ate vegetables and rode horses.

Richard Madden and me in a tent in the Yukon.

...because they’re not interested in the photos.  They’re doing it for the data.  Same comment goes for all the Mars landers.  The cameras are there to help the team navigate, but the real work is in the gases and sediment chemistry.

How much of this problem goes back to C-SPAN? (And the new norms it created?) If Congressional testimony were only transcripts, no audio, and nothing televised live, I don’t think people like Candace Owens would be interested. She might not even get an invitation. I think we’re going to have a circus in Congress for…
