The county I live in ranks No. 1 in North Carolina for gonorrhea. HIV/AIDS and syphilis cases have also increased.

The concept of an antihero isn't that elementary.

It regenerates, or—as the case may be which we're witnessing in the age of a disappearing middle class around the world and the rise of the prison-industrial complex—degenerates with the passing of time and the demise of social taboos.

My parenthetical compositions are not that clumsy.  I hope.

Apropos, though, since I'm currently writing an exegesis of Pain & Gain in which I gush over its brilliant and nuanced anti-capitalist message.

Also if I were a serf I'd have a piece of land for life and my yearly rabota.  But I can recognize that certain changes to the economy possibly compensate for my lack of lifetime employment, close relationship with my labor, and the bonds of loyalty that tie me to my feudal lord and he to me.  Running water and pornography are pretty sweet, I concede.

I've read that comic.  It's by Morrison and Millar, and it's a fucking piece of shit, legally speaking.  Not just because of the fake amendment.  The whole thing is garbage.

It's also a very stupid comic for other reasons, which I've forgotten.

[Eddie Teach]

The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.
The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.
The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.[1]
The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Seems legit.

Damn it. I scratch about half of my passenger side back door. Right thru the paint and up to the metal for about 3 feet long. This is going to be expensive so fix

Worse thing? It happened in my driveway.

Dude's on a suicide watch - why the hell is he only being checked every 30 minutes?!?

And I'm vaguely pissed.  I wanted this guy to suffer for a good long while.

His victims probably wanted him to suffer for years like them, they're probably pissed.

I don't know. I think his death will make it easier for the three women (and the child) to move on. Having him alive probably prolonged their suffering, to a degree.

He was filth. What happened to him is irrelevant. I'm only concerned about the women.
