• Commented on ACLU sues TSA for illegally detaining and searching man carrying $4,700 in cash
  #4, I agree. He wasn't just simply carrying cash. There's something beautiful about the way he goes about it. The precise amount of pressure the fingertips apply to the deposit box. The suppleness in the wrists as they swing by...

• Commented on Skateboarder trips, strips, and disturbs neighbors

• Commented on Oklahoma Highway Patrol finally releases video of trooper attack on paramedic
  #46, your equation is poorly constructed. what about police officers like my sister who got a corrupt chief fired for being a bad cop? as long as some good cops consent to hide bad cops, they're no good cops? she's...
• Commented on Oklahoma Highway Patrol finally releases video of trooper attack on paramedic
  i've said it before: this is why every moment of a police officers day needs to be recorded. If cops no longer believe they can get away with whatever they want on the job, maybe we'll get a better breed...

• Commented on Christopher Hitchens vs. Ken Blackwell of The Family Research Council

• Commented on Christopher Hitchens vs. Ken Blackwell of The Family Research Council
  #9. most likely. Hitchens is a toad of a man, full of a smug britishness that manages to offend everyone eloquently even whilst completely tanked. he's far more entertaining that dawkins to watch or listen to. (although i enjoy dawkins...
