Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Maybe Nathan Fillion is on this show.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"A minor seeking a waiver would not have to pay court fees, would be provided other assistance in the case by the court, and would be entitled to an attorney appointed by the court. The identity of the minor would be kept confidential. The court would generally have to hear and issue a ruling within three business days of receiving the waiver request. The appellate court would generally have to hear and decide any appeal within four business days."

But can and will they actually DO that in three days? With as incredibly overloaded as social workers and family courts, etc are? Is there a provision to hire a couple of dozen attorneys to expedite this?

The LAPD just let 217 rape kits go untested before their statue of limitations ran out. [link]

A city audit found that Los Angeles police officials failed to test DNA kits for 217 sexual assault cases within the legal time limit for prosecution. The statute of limitations is 10 years. That's right: 217 rape kits were left untested for more than a decade.

What's more, the audit found that the city has a current backlog of 7,000 untested kits, and has failed to notify victims if their evidence kits are not tested within two years, as required by state law.

And while we're talking about a different branch of the criminal justice system ( dun DUN ) it was a violation of the law that went unprevented and will surely go unprosecuted

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Doing the Math Scott Westerfeld, a YA author, crunches numbers on how the economy grows or doesn't under each party. Interesting stuff. If I knew any undecideds, I wonder if this would be convincing? Including this chart [link] that shows that 3 out of 4 times when Republicans controlled the white house and one house of congress for more than 6 years, the economy tanks Hmmm...
