Pull Gun on Cop -- Collect $325,000!
Rickey...you are saying our criminal justice system is "the best we can do." Well, no it's not. I've put examples of HOW we could do it better. And that would be, getting rid of 12 jurors that are complete morons, deciding on things. Maybe have 12 jurors, and the judge. The judge gets to act as the jury foreman, and his opinion has a lot more weight than the jurors. That way, in a case like OJ....he goes to jail (the first time).— March 31, 2009 9:36 a.m.
More Police, More Problems
Believe me rickey...I have no problem with a criminal having more charges thrown at them. The longer we can keep losers in jail, the better. I just think if someone is fleeing a cop on a motorcycle, and the cop dies chasing him...it seems like a harsh sentence throwing the biker in jail for 20 years. Why should that be more of a sentence than say...when actor Wesley Snipes fled from the police on his motorcycle, reaching speeds well over 100 mph, before he crashed his bike. He even had pot on him, and got merely a slap on the wrist. All because the cop chasing him DID NOT crash and die, or get hurt? That logic doesn't make much sense.— March 31, 2009 9:34 a.m.
Crashing on a Bicycle
Well, SHE paid for the in vitro. She had been giving $150,000 from a settlement with her work (she was hurt during some kind of riot). She also spent some money on plastic surgery (speculation on that, of course)— March 29, 2009 5:08 p.m.

Neither Had a Monkey
I didn't think the Dieter character was all that popular on SNL. I guess I was wrong. Or maybe it was just an easy costume to do. Someone also sent in a thing, stating that it was a TYPO in the photo, calling Mr. Peepers "Goat Boy" (which is mentioned here, also). That's not really a typo. That was just me getting the name of a character wrong. Not sure if that counts the same way a typo does. But someone got $10 for it!— March 28, 2009 7:32 a.m.
More Police, More Problems
I don't like vanilla anything. Including Vanilla Ice. It smells nice when it's a vanilla candle, or when someone is cooking.— March 28, 2009 7:28 a.m.
Pull Gun on Cop -- Collect $325,000!
I, myself, had a cop lie under oath during a case against me (involving a traffic dispute). I obviously know it happens. But listen to the silly stuff you're saying. For a cop to shoot, his/her gun is already drawn. If a gun is drawn, your ass doesn't reach for ANYTHING. You keep your hands on the steering wheel. In Christopher Dardens book (the black attorney trying to nail OJ), he said during the Rodney King riots, he was with a few black friends in his Mercedes. A cop pulled him over, gun drawn, asking him to put his hands on the steering wheel. He did that, showed ID, everything turned out fine. If he had reached quickly, for ANYTHING ELSE, I bet things wouldn't have. I seriously doubt he was reaching for ID and was shot. That was a silly episode of The White Shadow, for gods sake (Thorpe reached for a pen, to write down the badge number of the officer). Why didn't the dead guys father in this case, settle? Let him go to c ourt, and let EVERYONE hear about these dirty cops. And win millions???— March 27, 2009 7:53 p.m.
What's your favorite movie based on a book?
I have the exact same problem. Well, I'm not Mexican. I'm not 275. But, a 6'1" man approaching, can scare people. So, I'll usually just hop out of my car to help people push a vehicle. That's when people welcome seeing a bigger dude. And I figure, on the side of the road, nowdays, women have cell phones and there are those phones on the side of the road, so there's no point in freaking them out by offering help.— March 27, 2009 11:54 a.m.
Escorts & Engagements
All this talk is making me think...instead of that blog I did on the weirdest band names, I should do one on album covers with the sexiest women.— March 27, 2009 11:51 a.m.
