    All suspects are guilty. Period. Otherwise, they wouldn't be suspect, would they?

    Thanks for ruining my day! I thought this fat sack of sanctimonious Republican shit had been dead and burning in Hell for years and now I find out he's fucking alive and has undoubtedly been living like a goddam filthy-rich asshole all this time. I'm going back to bed.

    Back in the days of Genghis Khan, Mr. Meese would have been sewn into the body of a recently slaughtered quadruped and left in the desert for the rats to devour, bite by bite.

    Then again, why torture some poor beast in the name of giving this human tumor his due?

    Only in America, only in this absolute moral and intellectual vacuum, does this shit stain get to walk free.

    If you assume that when it comes to public servants, we get what we deserve, we have really fucked ourselves dry these last 29 years or so...

    Goddamn, Pareene. Lay the entire prison industrial complex and the profiteering of their well connected Republican friends and donors at his feet. The neo-thug Republicans want people locked up, the prison industry wants people locked up, and the small town white broke high school population of prison guards working for these privatized prisons but barely getting paid more than minumum wage while the CEO's profit grossly, they want people locked up

    Privatized prisons, with atrocious health care for inmates and awful working conditions for staff, lobbied for and paid for by Republicans wanting to fund money making businesses with tax dollars, have been one of the few made-in-USA growth industries providing jobs in the past 20 years, at the expense of all us in general, and the people locked up in them and the communities to whom they are released more violent than they were when they went in in particular

    haha, hysterical! The prison industrial complex is helping to bankrupt our states and the people responsible are trying to put the blame on others. I thought tough-on-crime was all about personal responsibility, but it's always everyone else's, never their own. Hypocritical jerks.

    Guess who was Attorney General when the penalties for crack were increased but the penalties for powder cocaine were not? Mr. Edwin Meese!!! So let's not forget the racism angle.

    But the thing is, you don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect.

    It's a violation of federal law to give a false weather report

    @Blackballs: You'd probably have to be able to prove that the weatherman knowingly reported the weather falsely.

    It's probably actually got something to do with corn futures or orange juice or some shit--meteorologists aren't allowed to claim that the hurricane is going to hit Florida, causing the price in oranges to drop and allowing them to buy up stock in oranges that they know will be safe.

    It's about time we scrapped it. Did you know nearly 26% of meteorologists with stock in orange juice and corn futures are in jail?

    @Blackballs: Incorrect is not necessarily false. Mathematically, weather is intrinsically not predictable. So it's going to be wrong, but not always false.

    mexican weed tastes like burning pubes. however, i would think that if the gringos start really dominating the market the mexicans will start upping their quality game. maybe there will be some narcocorridos about purple hairs and trichomes and keef.

    @Matthew_Maurice: Agreed. I love me some weed but I can't smoke it unless I know where it was grown. Basically, I only smoke when I'm in California.
