Crazy, but not surprising if you've been following the news for the past, oh, I don't know, century?

But the prosecutor doesn't usually admit to the newspapers that they're letting the guy off because he manages a billion dollar's in assets in private wealth management.

The disturbing thing is that not only did he think this was okay, it didn't even register with him as something you shouldn't publicly admit to.

NY Times

Dealing in Death, and Trying to Make a Living

Quote:

LOS ANGELES — Body bags go for $20. Yellow crime scene tape is $6.
Toe tags are normally $5, but they were sold out this month.
The merchandise comes in a white plastic shopping bag that says
“Los Angeles County Department of Coroner.”

Quote:

But it turns out that the shop’s slogan — “We’re dying for your business!” — is all too accurate.
The shop was once supposed to make enough money to pay for an anti-drunken-driving course
for teenagers that includes a visit to the morgue.

But a recent report from county auditors shows that it has not made a profit for years
and is actually subsidized by the very program it was meant to finance.

It's not so much that it's become acceptable, more that it's become almost rebellious. "You want to pick on us rich folks? Well, here you go, put that in your pipe and smoke it." They're like the James Deans of the upper crust.

As foot said, it's been happening forever, but now it's like Rich Chic to throw it in people's faces.

Not so much weird, but I saw the footage on the local news last night. Don't know why I can't find the video, but it made CNN.

Don't mess with this Ohio woman!

Ypsilanti man takes first place in Major League Dreidel competition

Srsly? This merits this much coverage? -top story right now on AnnArbor.com. And they wonder why the paper version couldn't stay in business

Lamplighter · 12-18-2010, 08:36 AM

Mons, I thought it's actually an pretty entertaining piece.

But then maybe it's an info ad... a come-on to invest in a nation-wide franchise.
Just think of all the advertising space on the dreidels and spinagogues !
And the tie-in's with the Knitting Factory franchises are endless.

Man (woman's third husband) reads his wife's email and discovers she is having an affair with her 2nd husband. Third husband shares the news with the first husband, who filed an emergency motion to obtain custody of their son (2nd husband had a previous domestic violence charge.)

Third husband is charged with a felony (Michigan's anti-hacking law.)

OK, let's put aside the fact women like this stupid bitch are the reason women get such a bad rap. Let's put aside the fact that she needs smacked upside the head and so do at least the 2nd and 3rd husbands just for being blind morons...all that aside:

Do you think what the husband did was hacking, a felony? How is it different than hiring a P.I. to investigate a suspected affair? Where is the line drawn? Do you think the charge is over the top, or justified?

I really don't know. On one hand he deserves to know his wife is a giant ho-bag loser. On the other hand, what if he had unlocked a bureau drawer and found a pile of letters? Could he be charged with breaking and entering?

What say you?

Man Accused Of Robbing Bank With Child

LEBANON, Ohio -- A Warren County man is in jail after police said he tried to rob a bank with a child.

http://www.whiotv.com/news/26310362/detail.html

Wait, I'm confused: did the bank have a child, or did he use the child to rob the bank? "This is a sick-up, give me all your money or I'll throw the child at you."

Srsly? Gimme the money or I'm leaving Thor here would so work....
