don't throw a tantrum just because he's onto something?

recall the old saw "time is money"?

consider it was coined mainly because it was at the time easier to measure & document expenditure of money than time at the transaction level.

California Tortilla tastes like balls. I think I had it once and never again. I had Chipotle each of the last 2 days. Had Hawaiian food for lunch today.

car hit 100,000 miles today

ran into some lady today while working. could care less and know nothing about politics and whatnot, but she started talking about them anyway. it eventually led to her saying the us built some gas chamber in the 90s and once martial law comes ("and it will, soon") that the eldery will be eradicated. at this time, they will be placing a computer chip in each person's hand. if you refuse this chip, you will be eradicated. the only thing i could think about the whole time was that ptk is really a 50-55 year old women working at a brass place in blandon, pennsylvania. i had to bite my lip to keep myself from loling.

Speaking of a great burger, here's a great place, no joke:

http://www.meersstore.com/menu.html

Burgers are made from the owners' very own Longhorn herd (range fed -- organic and all of that PTK stuff). They have their own home brewed Choctaw Indian beer, Fried Okra, Fried Green Tomaters and even Freedom Fries.

Place is awesome.

Not really.Have you seen the documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired? Polanski had served 42 days in a mental hospital undergoing"psychiatric evaluation". A plea agreement had been arrived at between the prosecutor and defense where Polanski had admitted to "unlawful sexual intercourse" and would be sentenced to time served plus probation-standard in such a case.

But the judge in the case, not wishing to look bad in the media, rejected the agreement and vowed "that he was going to lock up Polanski for the rest of his life." It was at this time that Polanski fled, approximately a year into legal proceedings,an action which even the prosecutor now says he doesn't find surprising under those circumstances.

Polanski's original crime was despicable, and fleeing sentencing is wrong. but his case was clearly not handled impartially, and he's been given not guarantee of it being handled fairly if he returns. I don't see him as a martyr, but his decision to stay away from the US is not only understandable but reasonable, one that many of us would follow even if we weren't famous film directors.

reading up on this and it appears the former DA who told the story about the judge straight up lied in that documentary.

If you have a 24-hour live feed showing the line to get a burger, you're doing something right.

Could very well be. From what I can tell , what he says he lied about-telling the Judge that he should sentence Polanski to prison time- sounds perhaps legally important in proving judicial misconduct, but doesn't really change the facts as presented.

Huge buzzkill. Me and my friends watched college football today at my buddy's apartment, and were just kickin back watching and then between the end of the 3:30 games and the start of the 8pm game they decide to play NCAA. As usual, the 2 people playing are very into it while the rest just stare off into space because nobody really gives a fuck about what play you just called or how you always pick Oregon because their QB can run. Sigh.
