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 […]
About time! Okay, I’m getting ahead of myself but long ago when the idea of civil unions, domestic partnership and/or gay marriage was new I thought the state should get out of the business of deciding who’s morality should trump in deciding who can get married.

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 […]
A few weeks ago I came across an article that was all shocked and excited that actual real life families separated by hundreds or thousands of miles might regularly reunite on MMORPGs and do virtual things together.

Upon my perusal of the virtual paper this morning I noticed that Bill Frist is all up in arms and upset. He wants to form some sort of blue ribbon inter body investigative committee. What could be so terrible as to waren’t this you ask? He needs to investigate the leak of […]
So I suppose I should mention that I got a letter to the editor published in the Washington Post about a week ago. It’s sort of odd it wasn’t something I really felt strongly about, just something I sort have had written before… about 4 years ago. So type, type, type and send. […]
