Electronic bottom scan? Have the guards lost any other perks?

...butt-dialing...

Ouch. Twice. Each. Four times, in, and, out.

During Thursday's hearing at Cardiff Crown Court, Judge Thomas Crowther QC asked the prosecution: "Was this a standard charger?"

Mr Kolvin replied: "I believe so."

That was very funny. I can actually hear Cleese and Idle when I think about that exchange. Very Python-esque.

Thank goodness I am not the only one who read that in Cleese's voice!

From the story, the gentleman in question did not come across as that well grounded...

I disagree. I thought that he was very down to Earth.

Pay-back's a bitch ...

Lion kills guide in ‘Cecil’ safari park in Africa
The Australian - 8/26/15

Quote:

A lion charged and killed a safari guide who was leading a group of tourists
in the same national park in Zimbabwe that was the home of Cecil the lion
who was controversially killed by an American bow hunter in July.

See! See!, if that guide had a bow & arrow he'd still be alive. But the left wing, socialist, commie, democrats, want to take our bows & arrows.

Gerrymandered district has one voter - accidentally.

They were trying for zero.

Pffft, one female college student? With what's at stake, I hope she has secret service protection.

Gravdigr · 08-27-2015, 11:03 PM

I hope she can afford the insurance on that new car she's about to receive. Mysteriously.

She needs to figure out how to introduce legislation where all residents of the district get free healthcare paid for by property tax. Or some shit like that. She's the Queen of that district.

Clearly all that hobnobbing with lawyers has paid off.

Why would the authority for such public decisions revert to the businesses there in the absence of voters? I kinda have to hurt my brain a little to even conceive of a district that has no voters, like, yeah, I am a parent, but I have never had any children. It's kind of the definition of the term. Anyhow, it's probably some leftover rule or worse, some new rule put in there by zombie voters to give voting power to corporations.

Corporations are not people, people. They should not have the right to vote, nor have the cause things to happen that require voters to enact. Oh wait, I'm dreaming. What's happening here is the local businesses are just trying to save on their lobbying expense. Costs money and is uncertain, like all marketing.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-28-2015, 03:33 PM

Because there would be no vote, so the businesses, who have the politicians in their pocket, would get their way when the decision got dumped back on council.
If businesses actually had a vote, they would beat her soundly.
