    Police Lt.: "I am your master"

    Yet, when she said it, he hadn't trampled her liberties or broken the law or exceeded the limits of his authority in any way. So her saying it was wholly inappropriate. And yet that didn't happen at all. He made no such statement. It doesn't surprise me in the least that you believe that he said...

    Police Lt.: "I am your master"

    You can see where the conversation is headed after listening to just the first 2 minutes of the recording. "I'm the master, ma'am. I'm the master," was classic sardonic sarcasm spoken to a woman who refused to have an intelligent discussion, a woman who goes by the name "Guerilla Girl Ashley"...

    Police Lt.: "I am your master"

    That Ashley made the phone call looking for a confrontation? Newp.

    On that note, if you want to really trash out the jury selection process, during selection ask, "Will jury nullification be available to us in this trial?" Not only will you be quickly removed from the jury, but so will every other potential juror who heard you ask the question. Jury...

    March, Spring is on its way!

    I wonder if the van guys turned in their logbooks each month, correctly filled out, which would be really easy, if they'd get the points. :D

    March, Spring is on its way!

    Culver's has a really good Reuben sandwich, but it's still second place on my chain-restaurant list. For me, other than at a Jewish deli, the best Reuben out there is at Schlotzsky's, either pastrami or corned beef (I prefer the pastrami, but they're both really good), and the dark Pumpernickel...

    You also say Fanger and Bales and Rye Inzey, but they're still spelled Finger and Bells and Rienzi. :D

    March, Spring is on its way!

    There is no Selma, TN. There's a Selma, AL. There's a Selma, TX. There's a Selma, CA. There's a Selma, IA. There's a Selma, IN. There's even a Selma, NC. But there is no Selma, TN.

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    If the GOP manages to exit everyone from the party except the genuine, true blue, bona fide conservative conservatives, those bastions of the moral high ground of social interactions, they will be able to hold their national convention in the Rainbow Room at the Holiday Inn Express, with plenty...

    I do, too, but all too often they aren't doing that. Judicial activism happens when decisions are based partly or wholly on the judge's personal opinion or on political considerations, rather applying the law impartially according to it's meaning or precedent. Granted, conservatives scream...

    Bringing race into the numbers is pretty much meaningless, since the numbers don't measure race. Introducing a some variable in order to find a correlation, for some political purpose, is at the very least junk science. Trying to establish blacks as the cause of the high numbers, instead of...

    Actually, yeah, that's what Pornhub Insights do for a living. They track porn viewing habits of all kinds, then they release a big, ol' sticky mess of data about the country's porn habits, which produces some really funny stuff. They tracked, for example, which cities turned off the pron during...

    And of course the gay allies. You know, allies. Interesting that they'd have the same wishful thinking. I have a feeling that some of these allies aren't gay, but they did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night. I crack myself up.

    There are a lot of countries that aren't predominantly Christian, or even particularly religious, yet the societal attitudes and numbers in those countries are the same, so you can't blame this all on Jesus. Like I have said many times, you don't ever have to have read the Bible to know that...

    I claim no relation to the guy. That Kentucky thing, that's just a coincidence. :D

    Saul Alinsky

    Yes, from the words themselves, from the totality of your post, and from the history of straws in the same context. It was an awful lot of words for anything less. You seemed rather focused on the nature of LOS's responses ... or non-responses as it were, moreso than what was actually said by...

    Saul Alinsky

    Of course you addressed the why. The "where LOS' premise might be challenged" is the posited motive as to "why." Sure you did. See above. If the sentence had simply been, "Looks to me more like an effort to avoid engaging in a detailed discussion," then that would be the "what" he did. But the...

    Lots of hyperbole, but no details. Where, exactly, should cuts be made that will make us stronger?
