So the whole point of this is to have bloody sheets? Because unless she's using a fake name here, uh, I don't think anyone is going to find out that Aisha Salim the "devout Muslim" has smoke, drank, had sex, and lived with a boyfriend. Well, unless her family and her husband-to-be's family and everyone they know don't have Internet access and don't read FoxNews, then it's OK I guess.

The tipping point. I don't think that school officials did anything wrong, but my thing is, they better be this vigilant in other cases too. We can only hope.

I think the little retard knew what she was doing. Therefore, I don't think she's retarded. However, she did jump in the path of bullets... so I'll compromise, she's not very smart. Heroes rarely are.

Um, they tried this in Indiana a few years ago. It was ruled a nuisance. I don't really see this getting very far in California.

Either this is a murder cover up or she's just a bad shot. I mean, how do you miss with a shotgun? Well, if there's a way a woman will find it.

You've heard of them but rarely do you see them in print. We've had several discussions in my many criminal justice classes about these dumb laws. Now some of them make sense. I mean, in Florida it is illegal to have sexual relations with a porcupine. Makes sense doesn't it? I don't think it needs to be a law, but it is logical. What I wonder about it how these laws come about... is it because someone does it but since it isn't in the law books it isn't illegal, so lawmakers put it on the books? Or are people electing jokesters that put these laws in? Just find out how many "laws" you've been breaking. I've broken 14 "laws" in Indiana so far.

I'm less scared of a "Pinky & The Brain" situation than I am of just the fact that people are messing around with fear. That's not cool. Fear has been the best defense mechanism for hundreds of thousands of years. The mouse that doesn't run from the cat doesn't live long enough to have more mice. Same with humans.

Oh my God! It's eating the shuttle!

I don't know exactly how glowing kitties are supposed to help cure disease but I'm up for anything.

I see the logical in their argument but I would take it one step further and blame the lawmakers that made it illegal to consume those drugs in the first place. I mean, it's not like the police are out there just enforcing whatever they want, no, they're enforcing laws that are passed by legislation. Yeah! Sue lawmakers! It's not illegal right?

And the Top 100 Sexiest Movie Stars are... well, I won't go there, but I'll tell you this...
Jessica Alba is #4. Natalie Portman is #2. And the #1 sexiest movie star is... Angelina Jolie. Find out where your favorites are.

We call it "motivation" rather than torture. People are motivated to cooperate with authorities. I don't see anything wrong with it.

225 years. That's a little bit of time there. I wonder when he'd be eligible for parole. Not bad for a non-violent crime. Except for that meat he beat according to one of his charges.

And they still use the term allegedly? C'mon, he did it in front of a cop, how much more proof do you need?

That's like a million dollars!

How exactly does a flightless bird get up to a 3rd story window? At first I thought it was already dead but this makes for a funnier story anyway.

Funny story, but not as funny as I thought it was going to be. Like after being hit by the car, while still lying there he calls Guinness Book of World Records instead of calling 911. Although I don't think that people usually keep track of that stat, nor are there people out there trying to break his world record. It's not like the "How many people can you stuff into a phone booth" type of event.

On a sad note:
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Why God? Why?

i'm tired and sore

This weekend we had a one day drill, which is normally reserved for a family-day sort of thing but was switched to January. So we did a day of combatives, MACP. Modern Army Combatives Program. It's some of the fun stuff in the Army, takedowns, submissions. Basically think UFC. There are no pictures because in my infinite wisdom I left my camera at a friend's house the weekend before and have yet to retrieve it. Plus, as stills, the training looks like something out of the Kama Sutra rather than combatives.
Still, as tired and sore as I am from the combatives, perhaps the most painful was the fact that I extended my Army enlistment by six months. I can't tell you why. I can't even believe it myself. I was two months away from being able to completely walkaway from the Army, my 8 year obligation was up and I was in the clear but now I tacked on six months to that. I'm in until 10 August 2008. Go ahead, call me stupid because that's what I am.

Probably the most awesomest show not affect by the writer's strike, which I'm not going to mention again because it just gets me angry. I loved it. Is there anything better? Honestly, I can't think of a single thing. And it's definitely not this.

Why are they being called to the stand? Well, there's a medical expert witness needed too, so you might as well call Doogie Howser. Sorry, I was watching the Victoria Secret Fashion Show 2007 and for some reason Doogie was there.

Well, he was a chemistry teacher. It's not like he had the kids cooking up the stuff. Ha! That'd be funny though.

How do you lose something that big? Really, it's not like he jumped in the back of a car and drove off.

Rehab. She does sort of look like she just woke up. Although I'm thinking she was on drugs because that's just crazy. Barefoot and just in a bra? Yeah. Go to rehab.

So what? Hawaii has one. Like that's a big deal?

That's one crazy cat.
