    In reply to Polanski is Free! (Kind of)
    I'm not following the rationale about Polanski's Oscar. He shouldn't pay for a crime he committed in the 1970s because he won an Oscar 25 years later?

    International law is so complicated.

    Robert Harris also wrote the screenplay for The Pianist, so it's not that random that he wrote an op-ed about Polanski.

    I don't really understand how the can be arrested. Agree with it or not, hasn't the statute of limitations passed on statutory rape? I'm pretty sure, at least, in the US, the statute of limitations is 8 years.

    @Duffin: He pled guilty, and then fled the country. So he has the conviction.

    @Duffin: It's because he was convicted but fled the country before he started the sentence. No statute of limitations there.

    It's not that long a drive to Switzerland and a friend of mine has a new car with a big trunk.

    I wonder how much, exactly, he'd be willing to pay for us to drive him over the ridiculously porous border.

    @tommix3: he had a Hard Life (tm).

    I would be willing to let Polanski go in return for setting free the woman who cut off her father's dick and cooked after years of sexual and physical abuse, inadvertently killing him.

    Your move, justice system.

    This reminds me of the time my tacky stepmom (Ms Twee Cow Stencils and Gingham 1989) tried to sell the heirloom bedroom furniture that my Mother had. For exactly $500. So I gave her a cheque for $550, carted the stuff away, and put a stop payment on the cheque.

    PS Hi Loretta!

    A teenage boy's 8 year old furniture? For $500? Big no thanks, Nancy. And after giving $10 million to that cult you would think she would have gotten a nice tax write-off and wouldn't have to resort to selling used furniture through mass e-mail.
