It's not April 1st.
It's not "The Onion".
It's about a guy on Death Row.
But still...
Can you get a fair trial if the judge is/was sleeping with the prosecutor
Here are some quotes which are destined to be cited by legal clerks for decades
“I had a truck that everybody recognized,”
She was “was tired of laying over,” she said, and “getting licked without any input.”
And the conclusion?
Campaign spending may undermine the integrity of the judicial system. The same goes for a gag gift of confectionary genitalia. But a love affair between the judge and prosecutor in a death penalty case is, in Texas, at least, another matter.

How the fuck do you repair a lake?
A car ? I can see that
A TV ? If it's new and expensive enough
A washing machine ? Maybe
But a lake?
The caring sharing Obama administration is going to spend $2,200,000,000 of your and my money on Repairing the Great Lakes

It's a business
More from the NY Times in the section "Studies on the bloody obvious"
This one says 60% of Americans believe that colleges today operate like businesses, concerned more with their bottom line than with the educational experience of students.
As news this has to rank with revelations like "17 year old boys like porn".
Of course education is a business. How did people think colleges paid for all the staff and buildings?
Everything's a business - some very lucrative
Showbusiness
The religion business
The criminal justice business
The politics business
The warfare business
The Security business
The intelligence business
etc. etc.
