I can't figure out where the definately typo comes from~
I mean, the finite part has the same vowel sounds, but that a sneaks in with great frequency~
It wouldn't even be an issue if it weren't for the fact that I read it as 'deafen ate Lee'~

For WTF awesomeness.

There are no words to describe how good that was.

It occurs to me that if Hitler ever were to have gone into hiding, the best thing he could've done would be to make a living as a Hitler impersonator for films, skits, and suchlike. The perfect cover!

He's alive!

Mein gott!

Alabama thinks it's cool to say, "you can chose either church or prison...."

This program isn’t just unconstitutional, it is unconstitutional even under conservative Justice Antonin Scalia’s vision of the Constitution’s Establishment Clause. In his dissenting opinion in Lee v. Weisman, Scalia wrote that the state may not us the “threat of penalty” to “coerce anyone to support or participate in religion or its exercise.” Telling someone — even someone convicted of a crime — that they must participate in a religious service or go to jail clearly fails Justice Scalia’s test.

Indeed, as conservative law Professor Eugene Volokh points out, religiously compelled church attendance is so clearly and obviously unconstitutional, that the Mississippi Supreme Court held that a “judge’s decision to order people to attend church as a condition of bail is not just unconstitutional, but merits a 30-day suspension from the bench.” Again, this was in Mississippi. Just across the border in Alabama, however, one town apparently thinks that the Constitution no longer applies.

Someone was seriously considering doing this in Ohio where I am. [headdesk]

But they can attend the church of their choice!

Quick, someone set up a pastafarian chapel there.

...What if the offender is already a church attender?

...What if the offender is already a church attender?

"Clearly," good churchgoing folk would never be criminals... [sigh]. And if they are, well, more church will fix it (get out of jail free card).... Haven't you heard? Prayer fixes everything from praying the gay away to apparently praying the crime away.... Really?

Seriously, we had a judge around here a few years ago, who made a speech at her church about how she was "doing god's work" by manipulating the sentence of a female Japanese defendant from Cal Berkley so she couldn't get an abortion. Keep in mind, the defendant was complying with the terms of her plea agreement and should've gotten probation instead of jail, but the judge sentenced her to jail to stop the abortion. When the lawyer represented defendant called her on her BS, the judge removed him from the case. Thankfully she got disciplined for it.

The blood was quite convincing, though.

Also, which is worse? The fact that it costs 500 bucks to knock someone off in Brazil or the fact that they needed the money enough to commit fraud and stage the death?

[Lord Shonus]

Think the fraud was more to keep the woman from trying again with another hitman.
