From Allusions to Illusions
The Montgomery County (Maryland) Police believe the law doesn’t apply to them.
The police of Montgomery County believe that speed limits are for little people, not big important people like them. Or to put it another way, they are above the rule of law at the very least with regards to speed limits, who knows […]
It’s been a few days since the questionably named Protect America Act expired and we haven’t been killed yet. No reason we should be the same wire tapping continues unabated, but now they have to go to the FISA court which never learned the word no. But it is at least has […]
I recently received an offensive and wildly inaccurate email about immigration. I took the time to respond to it rather than ignore it and thought I’d share it with my close person friend the Internet.
The following email was forwarded to me (formatting was scrambled but this is my bet guess of its intended format):

I was discussing prisons over lunch with some co-workers and came up with two ideas which seem interesting and certainly couldn’t hurt our prison problem.
First as a qualification to become a warden at a prison an applicant would need to have served some time in jail. Selecting and finding these people may be difficult, […]
A man, Dempster, was acquitted of manslaughter charges yesterday. The death that the prosecutor believed Dempster should have been accountable for is described as such:
In the early hours of April 25, Dempster fled on foot in a wooded area after an officer who suspected that he was driving while intoxicated attempted to pull […]

It seems that after the Fedex processed the claim and they promised my refund would be processed the next day they ‘misplaced’ my refund for two weeks until I started calling and yelling at them.
When they tried […]
So on April 10th, I got frustrated with the fact that my MythTV box decided to do its disk system cough again and I said screw it time to throw money at the problem. I decided to get a new computer and make this problem go away. And so I went to my […]
So bush has claimed by virtue of Congress authorizing him to take military action in Afghanistan, he as commander and chief has the authority to violate explicit laws and and constitutional prohibitions against search without so much as informing anyone, much less any oversight. As patently ridiculous as that claim is the more […]
