Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

What's best for society is to lock up a woman for 20 years for firing a shot in the air?
That's not the fault of the prosecutor.  That's the fault of incompetent legislators.

So Beeb, are you going to be the guy who takes a shot at the guy they charged with corrupting public morals?

North Carolina is cutting my state income tax from 7.75% to 5.75% :showoff:

Wow, that's still steep.  Michigan was only 4.3%.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Agree. Before moving here, I had assumed that taxes would be low since it was the South. FALSE.

No shit.  84?  What is this, a Vietnamese prison camp?

Who cares?  Nobody is home and the program switches at 1700, an hour before either of us gets home.

Getting home at 5PM would drive me insane.  It is 3:40 right now and i am already home and changed and screwing off, I start getting twitchy if I work past 3:30.

The alarm at 4:00 AM is no fun though.

Only if I can fit it into my schedule of drunk driving trial, drunk driving trials, and more drunk driving trials... <_<

Maybe you can ask the cops to ease up on the arrests.

One of my students saw a little kid get hit by a car this morning. :(:(:(:(:(:(
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

better to see than experience, I suppose.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

What was the initial reaction of your student to the incident, and then what is their current emotional state.

He couldn't believe what he'd done. Now he's starting to accept it.

As i was taking my daily walk the thought struck me that what Maggie Thatcher should have done with the striking coal miners is handed over to them the mines that were scheduled for closure.  A gift.

Ugh I had a dream last night that I had a Boston accent.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.
