Opinions?
I’d be very interested to see what the commentors have to say about this story:
Judge Sentences Three to Learn English
The men, who faced prison for criminal conspiracy to commit robbery, can remain on parole if they learn to read and write English, earn their GEDs and get full-time jobs, Luzerne County Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. said.
The men, Luis Reyes, Ricardo Dominguez and Rafael Guzman-Mateo, plus a fourth defendant, Kelvin Reyes-Rosario, all needed translators when they pleaded guilty Tuesday.
“Do you think we are going to supply you with a translator all of your life?” the judge asked them.
My opinion? I love it. That’s assuming, of course, that this is a first offense for these conspirators. If more judges took actions like this that can stem the tide before young would-be crooks get caught up in it, and allow them to actually become productive, law-abiding citizens, the jails might not be so full.
Right. Like Details Isn’t a Gay Mag.
I honestly don’t know if I should be insulted or not. Frankly there are times when I’ve been sick of discussing the whole “gay” subject myself. But I don’t think this is the right way to phrase it:
Homosexuality, of course, used to be known as the love that dare not speak its name—until, thanks to the gayification of pop culture, it became the love that wouldn’t shut the hell up.
Today’s Idiot
Every day delivers one more person I’m smarter than by far:
Prosecutors say a video shows a Connecticut correction officer running a 40-yard-dash in women’s clothing and high heels — at a time he had claimed he was too injured to work.
Garrett A. Dalton of Naugatuck has been charged with workers compensation fraud. He’s accused of taking part in a radio station’s contest for Hannah Montana concert tickets last year. Not only did he have to dress in drag but he had to carry an egg on a spoon.
Authorities were alerted after someone saw Dalton in a TV news report. Prosecutors say the 41-year-old collected more than $5,000 in workers’ compensation after he reported a work-related injury in June.
Court documents do not list an attorney for Dalton, and his phone number is unlisted. And no, he didn’t win the contest.
What a heel.
Various Notes:
The Husband Store Too f’in funny.
Jericho Cancelled Again!!??!! Those Bastards!! Nina Tassler, kiss my ass. No, really. You should have known that constantly switching what day it’s on and what time it’s on DOESN’T ALLOW FOR A REGULAR AUDIENCE TO BUILD!! You advertise the hell out of Big Brother, the true downfall of civilization, but didn’t even give Jericho a chance. You started this season at 10:00 at night, when most people view @ 8 or 9. Three people I work with didn’t bother to watch because it was on TOO LATE. And switching the time halfway through the season is too little, too late, especially with the sparse advertising you gave the show. Clearly you never intended to give the show an honest chance, because these are the same complaints we gave the first time around, and you chose to ignore them. Well, I’m not sending you nuts. I’m not sending you anything anymore, and that means not one iota of time viewing your network. The excuse of “not enough viewers” is a load of crap–the show has more viewers than other shows you choose to keep on the air. Henceforth I’m going to start finding a nighttime lineup that excludes the Crap Broadcasting Station completely.
PLEASE, SCIFI, PICK IT UP!!!
I found a great site for recipes: recipezaar. Try the Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies. Mmmm.
Someone please stop the “Obama Girl.” At least now we know what happened to MTV. It morphed into youtube. Please, Obama girl. You want someone HOT? Lookee here. Woof! (And screw CBS one more time!)
File this under “Things that should not be done.” The movie was bad enough. Ugh. They’ll make a musical out of anything these days. Where’s the one about a bathroom? The movements are already written!
