This is good.

I still think though, it would be far better to place them in with the general prison populace.
We've all heard the term nonce before.. well that stands for Not Of Normal Criminal Element.. let's just say, most cons don't take kindly to child molesters.

I think the death penalty would be better for them - only because it would be a one time use of tax payers dollars, as opposed to the possible days of tax payer funding until the f**ker was actually killed in prison.

That might be true. I know when he guest starred on Will and Grace he was hysterical as Karen's second husband, Lyle. However, in other appearances, I have not seen him as funny as he is known to be. I will alwasy enjoy and respect him as an entertainer and I think the book will be interesting. His take on the history of comedy is something I look forward to.

I don't have a headline but here is a story that was in our local news today: A high school teacher (male) went on the internet and, under an assumed identity, solicited two teenage girls. But here's the twist. He offered to pay them to meet him in a park and to have a violent fight for him to watch. They would get extra money if the fight resulted in broken bones.

WTF????

I saw an interview this morning on this. The PhD-from-UCLA guy said, "The reason it's important to make a decision on Pluto is that, if we let Pluto stay, we have to let maybe a hundred others in. If we get a firm definition that means Pluto's out, then we keep the number of planets to a minimum. Most people are happy with the ones we have."

A few days ago, there was an article in the paper about this guy who ran from the police. They saw him jump into the river and the guy yelled for help and it looked like he drowned. The cops went to his place to get info about him and he answered the door. :o :o But then today, there was a follow-up story. It seems that they did pull a body out of the river-someone else who was also wanted by the police. Apparently, the two guys looked very much a like and even wore very similar clothing. C'est bizarre.
