Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

The whole thing was tragic. I can't believe people are outraged that she "only got ten years".
That forgiveness video is one of the most beautiful things I have seen. Love it."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

This sobering (tee hee!) article documents serious problems with breathalyzers. Not only is the unreliable technology implicating innocent people, the resulting legal challenges are tossing out convictions of really guilty drunk drivers:

This is related to issues that laboratory medicine deals with everyday. There is no one perfect test result or analyzer. And a whole host of pre- and post-analytic variables can cause false positives or negatives. We just try to get as close to 'truth' as possible."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

IMO, this article does a great job demonstrating the impasse over the argument of abortion. Both sides have valid moral underpinnings for their beliefs.

This article depresses me. Especially the part about the Wonder Years.

Really good piece of investigative journalism about evicted D.C. renters. Turns out that a couple of low-lifes who deliver most of the summonses from landlords really don't deliver them, allowing renters to be evicted much quicker than if they went through the normal court process. They took advantage of lax oversight and a gullible court system. And of course, the owners of buildings relied on the fraud to kick out renters to charge higher rents.
