Whenever I am in appeals court:
I do my lil' turn on the catwalk.
We have it backwards in this country. Instead of bankrupting families to educate our young, we should make it very affordable for young people to go to colleges and skill schools. They will need every bit of it to keep us strong and competitive in the future. Other countries have learned this, why can't we?
Shut up. No. YOU shut up.
No DNA testing needed here. I not only look like my Daddy, hell...I AM my Daddy.
Iraq will never live up to our standards. No matter how much money and American lives we give them. Hell. We don't live up to our standards any more.
"Scream Room" - Private jail for kids. Teachers do it, but parents would be punished. No easy solutions.
A few more years and I may be able to whip Muhammad Ali, though he's still pretty fit for a 70 year old sick man.
Though no one really smokes any more, we might shouldn't criminalize such activity. If we do, it's the beginning of the end for milk chocolate, cookie dough, soda, white bread, Lucky Charms, Butterfingers, and potato chips. Imagine Moms being busted for such criminal activity for contributing to the injury of a minor. Let people be free even if it's not your cup of tea!
Remember, the rich and powerful do what they want anyway, why just give the government another chance to ruin the lives of the rest of us?

My publisher was probably right. My picture should not have appeared on the cover of the book I authored " How to Keep Your Thick, Black, Curly Hair Well Into Your Old Age."

Aisle 7
A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart. The husband picks up a ...case of Miller Lite and puts it in their cart.
'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife. 'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans', he replies. 'Put them back, it's a waste of money', demands the wife, and so he does and they carry on shopping.
A few aisles further on along, the woman picks up a $20 jar of ...face cream and puts it in the basket.
What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband... "It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,' replies the wife.
Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Miller Lite and it's half the price....'
HUSBAND DOWN, AISLE 7 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Monday we celebrate the life of the Reverend Martin Luther King and honor him for his work with the Civil Rights movement. One of his most famous speeches was the 1963 “I Have A Dream” speech that he gave in Washington, D.C. to a crowd of thousands. In that speech he laid out his vision and hopes for the Civil Rights movement. I would like to review some of his words and discuss if his dream came true for African-Americans and minorities throughout our country. “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” ‘Huffington Post Continue reading ‘Did Martin Luther King’s ‘Dream’ Come True?’
Submitted by Gene Howington, Guest BloggerFreedom of speech is a well established right in this country and rooted in the 1st Amendment. ”Congress shall make no law [. . .] abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”. The U.N.’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 19 reads, “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” Within the United States and our jurisprudence there are some exceptions to this freedom, but by in large (up to this point in history) the restrictions are both reasonable and necessary: the Miller test for obscenity, child pornography laws, laws prohibiting speech that incites imminent lawless action, restrictions on fighting words, regulation of commercial speech such as advertising, copyright and patent laws protecting authors and inventors control over their work, and the prohibition of slander and defamation.
Let’s be clear here that the subject isn’t just free speech, but anonymous political free speech.
Here at Res Ipsa Loqitur, there is a long standing policy of allowing anonymous posting to comments and protecting poster’s anonymity. The decision to post under your own name or not is entirely yours. This policy encourages free speech while allowing that having an unpopular or minority point of view should not have negative political consequences for the speaker or unnecessarily complicate their lives simply for expressing their views. Many political insiders and Washington professionals have told Professor Turley that they enjoy reading this blog and have enjoyed posting anonymously. The only posters here required to use their real identities are the guest bloggers and the requirement is voluntary. None of us were coerced into using our real names. When offered the honor of being a guest blogger, it was simply (and I think I speak for all the guest bloggers when I say fairly) a requirement in assuming editorial responsibilities. However, all of this raises an important question.
Do you have a right to anonymous political free speech?
According to the Supreme Court, you do. According to the Department of Homeland Security, you don’t. They’ve hired General Dynamics to track U.S. citizens exercising this critical civil right.

Misha Domozhilov’s essay, Enclave, is about everyday life in the Serbian enclave in Kosovska Mitrivica. Although Serbia considers Kosovo as its territory, over 80 countries recognize its independence.
