I have this paper to write in the next couple of weeks. I need stories of your encounters with the police and the criminal justice system. Names will be changed to protect your indentities. Thanks.

Just in case you weren't paying attention, for four hours on Monday we didn't have a working state government. It was a budget crisis, something becoming more common in the United States in the last few years. The solution? Raising taxes. Back the truck up a minute. Higher taxes? Didn't the Granholm promise not to raise taxes? Doesn't she ( Read more... )

First things first, fucking O.J. I find it funny in a way but honestly, I've had enough of this man on my news already. So what he robbed some sports memorobilia deal in Vegas. This will be in the news for months though. Maybe this time he'll go to jail ( Read more... )

Recently, I've had a wonderful little struggle with my "dark side". It really isn't a dark side so much as it's a monster that threatens to swallow me whole when it hits. If you read this here little bloggy thing, you are aware that my sister passed away. This didn't hit me until about the beggining of July. While I was home, I was given a hero ( Read more... )

I understand since I have been there before. I talked to him for a little bit earlier today, yesterday, whatever. He's nervous. He's anxious. He's ready to earn that ever ellusive ( Read more... )

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. If you don't know much about cars it might not be that funny to you. But it's still funny.

If you are Jewish or offended in any way, shape or form, IT'S A FUCKING JOKE!

This morning I ran out of smokes. Sucks to be me. So I did what anyone who is poor and craving a ciggie would do, I rounded up all my bottles for return. I head out the door, my lungs knowing that in a few short minutes they will be suitably polluted. Or so I thought. I walk up to Clarks, the local ghetto liquor store that also sells a few ( Read more... )
