OK:
The court concludes that a constitutionally effective defense to a child pornography charge does not include the right to victimize additional minors by creating new child pornography in the course of preparing and presenting a defense
Sounds pretty bad. In this case, a defense lawyer photoshopped some fake child pornography as part of a defense. Weird.
New kid on the block Balloon Goes Up has a piece on what’s in his bags.
Motorists driving on expressways around Flint are getting surprised by a stunning tactic that the Genesee County sheriff has been using to fight the flow of illegal drugs — one that legal experts said will not withstand a court challenge.
Emphasis mine. Despite its illegality, they do it because there is no consequence to them personally for it. Taxpayers will foot that bill.
As a general rule, I’m with the Wiz on not assuming debt for day to day expenses, namely credit card debt. But I think he’s way off base in targeting the pay it off every month crowd. Credit cards are convenient for tracking costs, but so is a debit card.
Also, I think he’s off on the points/rewards issue. Of course, it depends on the card and the reward system. I personally use the Amazon credit card. I get 1% back on all purchases and 3% back on all Amazon.com purchases. I also use Amazon Prime so my shipping is free. I also use their subscribe service and frequently purchased items are sent to my house on a schedule. So, I never have to go to the store to buy deodorant. It just shows up when I need it, I get rewards for it, and I defer paying sales taxes on it. Additionally, my money draws interest for an additional 30 days while it sits in my account. There’s no interest on my credit card so long as I pay it off. And that is a good deal.
It’s rather like a few years back when we bought my wife an SUV. You see, I didn’t really want a car payment and would have preferred buying the vehicle outright. But the interest rate on the dealer financing was less than I would draw on my savings account. So, I financed it. After the economy tanking, you don’t see those deals anymore.
I respect the Dave Ramsey school of thought on managing money. But one thing that’s lost on the Ramsey acolytes is that, generally, you can’t make much money by saving money.
Got a bunch of last year’s tacticool stuff sitting around the shop that you can’t sell because, well, the hoity toity gun nut crowd is into the new tacticool look? No problem. Rebrand last year’s hot sellers as Halloween costumes.
First, NASA has a SWAT team? Next, doesn’t the government have anything better to do than putting on flak jackets, storming a Denny’s and harassing a grandmother trying to raise money for her sick son?
What’s wrong with this picture?
It’s not at AmericanRifleman.org? It’s copyrighted material that you’re using without permission? I’m not really left-handed?
Having written a few articles professionally, I can say with certainty you can’t always get an ideal tacticool or even good tacticool photo unless the stars are aligned or Oleg Volk is crashing in your basement. And it’s not to show any thing other than, hey, this light will light up your entire hallway. Oh internet, the things we argue about.
And I liked how it turned out.
Update: Oh and I know the answer. It’s that I’m using it as a flashlight after I just told you not to do that.
Update 2: The comments are the best part. Seems if I illuminate beige carpet with a LED light, it’s not flattering. And, not being a girl, I don’t hire interior decorators. And the hand rail for my kids that they asked for means we’re midgets.
Good crowd.
I keep hearing these commercials on the local vast right wing conspiracy radio for Reputation.com. Apparently, if people get on the intertubes and talk about how you or your company suck, Reputation Defender comes in saves the day. I wonder exactly how they do this? Google bomb? Spam? Content and link farming? Suing people?
True. The difference, I think, is illustrated in how I interact with my children. I point out to them that I didn’t ask them to like cleaning their room. At least I’m honest with them.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
