Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Coincidentally, Barky was killed when he ran out onto State Highway 156.

Dog facing down speeding car tends to not end so well for the dog.

Barky State Highway 156.

Heh. Baskerville Bleeker, known as Bussy, which sounds like one of the more annoying characters in a Wooster and Jeeves.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

From Salon:

The Los Angeles Times reports today that Schwarzenegger's administration has circulated a videotape package masquerading as a news report on the governor's proposal to roll back labor regulations that require employers to give their employees half-hour lunch breaks within the first five hours of their shifts. Several California TV stations ran the report as news, offering their viewers a one-sided, government-financed view of Schwarzenegger's proposal.

I don't understand what is positive about denying workers the right to eat.

God Bless Easy View.

I am so thirsty right now.

J&B question: would a health center actually tell the parent about what courtney wanted? I meant to ask last time, but I forgot.

Sparky Montana, I think.

Coulda been, Boji Franjo, though.

Good names! Far better than Sadie Brown.

It's like you're saying Bruce Wayne isn't porny! I don't know you people anymore!

Bruce Wayne is TOTALLY hot, in that holy-shit-you're-CRAZY way that Locke is hot.

You know, it's government red tape that's hamstringing our nation's businesses from becoming more competitive and efficient.

Next thing you know they'll repeal child labor laws.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kat, although I don't know for sure, I figured it was because she was underage.

That's what I figured, but I was trying to figure out if that were true, if they would really do that.

How is a hungry worker productive? Or not grouchy? Or at their best, mentally?

What kind of fucked up shit is that?

My grampa is rolling in his grave right now.

Or, say, *healthy*??? What if you have workers who are diabetic/pregnant/some other illness, who must eat every few hours or else they, y'know, fall into a COMA?
