Nope. His only "crime" is that he embarrassed the State. They deserved and deserve to be embarrassed. He was the boy pointing out that the emperor was parading about in no clothes, and instead of getting dressed and blaming the clothiers, the emperor is ****ed at the boy. See how perverted...

I should have figured that would be your position: if someone in pseudo-authority is acting unreasonably or illegally, bow to their pseudo-authority anyway. Just gotta lick those boots, don't you? You remind me of a guy on an email list I'm on. He can't admit he's wrong no matter how many...

Yeah, here we go again. Driving is absolutely, unequivocally a right, not a privilege, and even if that weren't the case, even if it were a privilege, that's not the issue here. In this country, we have a maxim, a legal principle that says, "Let the punishment fit the crime." And $5000, or...

One thing that's frustrating me is when I call one of my companies about relocating is that it's hard to pry information out of them. I'll deliver, and start considering my options, but without a QC, I don't know how many vans are where, right? So I call in and ask, and I'll get a response...

Are you referring to "render unto Caesar?" If not, I'm going to need more explanation on that one.

He's a hero, and should get a medal and a parade in his honor. And then a dishonorable discharge for being a sodomite.

I wish that were the case, and you would think it would, wouldn't you? I mean, currency does say "legal tender for all debts, public and private," right? So it should be mandatory. I did some checking a few years ago because my cable company wouldn't take my cash at the window. I forget...

Which is worse, the illiteracy or the diet? And are they related?

Coke, good. Bacon, good. Yet...

If the severe winter trend keeps going...

My van always drops a puddle of water out the tail pipe. There's also some water that always leaks from the undercarriage. I've put my finger in both and smelled them, and it's water. The last Chevy Express I drove did the same thing in both spots. It's kind of annoying. Someone suggested...

Virginia’s Gone Loopy (Again)… by Eric Peters by Eric Peters This state – my state – has a thing for imposing grossly disproportionate-to-the-offense...

I can just see it...companies without APUs are going to have to find ways to combat idling. It will be cheaper for them to have their drivers get hotel rooms at some point, but it will be even cheaper than that just to tell their drivers they can't idle regardless of the weather. More big...

First, please use punctuation. Second, you really don't see the difference? You go into a 7-11 or some place like that. You pick up a gallon of milk and a Clark Bar. You take them to the register and pull out a $50 bill. The clerk says, "Sorry, no large bills." At that point, you have...

The death penalty for this? Don't you think we can find some penalty a little more appropriate? And how is this a federal issue?

Couldn't tell you. But almost every company in the country that takes cash trusts them, and bills in the US are made to a uniform standard, so in theory, it should work every time. If it doesn't, it would certainly be at a statistically insignificant rate, and if the toll road and Burger King...

I don't know what your opinions are on Biblical morality or the general equity portions of the OT, but the OT says you're not morally culpable if you kill an intruder in your home at night. But it does specify "at night."

Ah, I knew the fascists would arrive at some point. It doesn't matter whose boots you lick, just so you're tasting boot, does it? There's the "I vas chust following ze ordnung" line. Had to come out at some point. If they unlawfully detain me, it's the individual collector who's more at...

I don't think I've ever heard liberals do that. Conservatives do it. I mean real conservatives (paleoconservatives) like Pat Buchanan and Walter Williams. We differentiate ourselves from phony conservatives (neoconservatives) because they came along after us and perverted conservatism. I...

Seems to me that's easily resolved. Get one of those markers that just about every cashier in the country has, use it to verify that the bill is legit. Takes 2 extra seconds.
