Good for the judge.  We can always use more people of authority who lead by example.

Hitler helped to institute the basis for our modern freeways.  He also did other military and social institution changes that still affect life today.  It was because he was such a positive force for Germany that people let him get so much power, which then caused them to quietly ignore the growing amount of crazy thin...more

The main article's website was updated.  They've currently got 110 offers to take the cat and they're going to start narrowing them down next week.   Reading about that poor lottery winner's cyanide story is the kind of thing that makes you loose a little faith in humanity.  Then it's stories like these that help to ...more

For all of the people freaking out about Martin dying off too soon, I do remember reading somewhere that he has already had discussions with HBO about how he was going to finish the book series.  Should he unexpectedly die off due to old age, there should be other people who will be able to finish the story telling pro...more

While the whole concept of "friend" time seems weird to me, Norway's prison system methods produce ex-cons who have a far lower relapse rate into crime when compared with the American jail system.  With that in mind, maybe they're onto something.  As long as I don't have to be that "friend", then more power to them.

John Colton is THE original "GI Joe" figure.  He only existed in the original comic series run and never appeared on TV.  Basically he came in once or twice with a last minute hail mary save for the GI Joe team over the many years of the comic's run.  Other than that, he didn't really exist since he was off in the back...more
