Alas, I just got to "Texans support the death penalty but only for the guilty." If that were true, it would be a big improvement over the current state of public opinion in my adopted state, where the attitude is if you manage to get onto death row, even if you didn't commit THAT murder, you must've done SOMETHING.......

Let this be a sign to the police force. As for the cop, I don't think he should be on patrol after this indecent, and he does need anger management classes....
Craigger1 commented on Grateful Dead shake down NPR over including a song in an online mix
It wasn't the band members at all who rejected the use of their song. It was the record label suits who did. Here is the clarification as posted on NPR's site regarding the issue: The Grateful Dead were not involved with the decision regarding the requested track. It was the band's label who would not give permission for the track to be used in its entirety. The label also suggested that it might be easier to get permission if we did a piece on the band on All Things Considered and on the NPR website...
