MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia's Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab, named a new leader Saturday after confirming the killing of their previous leader by a U.S. airstrike, a commander of the group said. ----------------------------------- "There will always be somebody else." To Have and...

PASADENA HILLS, Mo—Martise Scott had made it. He escaped the inner-city ghetto of north St. Louis, went to college, and got hired as a police officer for the St. Louis County Police Department. It was 1985, and he was one of about 50 black officers in a force of about 700. "We were the lucky...

So you don't know how to use Google after all. Or are completely unaware of it. That explains a lot. All you have to do is enter the name of one of your heroes -- Sylvester Stallone or whomever -- and click Image. One of those guys you like to look at while you're stroking your rifle.

And that's been getting a great deal of new attention lately, largely due to this case. If people don't get bored with it and turn their attention back to Kim Kardashian, changes might be in the offing.

Sounds good to me. Oh, wait, that's socialism. We're supposed to be against that, right? (it's hard to keep up)

You're making some unwarranted assumptions, particularly with regard to demand and supply. Will some people stop buying hamburgers if McDonald's raises their prices? Perhaps. But the price increase wouldn't amount to much, and, as I said earlier, McDonald's hamburgers used to be 15 cents, but...

Wondering why he left his car to confront a couple of jaywalkers is not "framing it to make the cop look like he was wrong". They were not necessarily "blameless" nor were they necessarily "looking for trouble". All that has been established is that they were jaywalking. You bring the rest...

HARRISBURG Pa. (Reuters) - A Pennsylvania woman has been sentenced to up to 18 months in prison for obtaining so-called abortion pills online and providing them to her teenage daughter to end her pregnancy. Jennifer Ann Whalen, 39, of Washingtonville, a single mother who works as a nursing home...

It's called "Google". I know you're unfamiliar with it, but there all kinds of things there that are right up your alley, like the above.

One way or the other, somebody has to pay. Even if the minimum-wage worker lives on the street, there remains a "cost of living". And if he becomes ill or is injured, we have to pay for it. If he's arrested and put in jail, we have to pay for it. The MW worker doesn't just disappear. OTOH, if...

I suspect Arnie has a fundamental misunderstanding of the wage-price spiral. And Wheaties is misinformed to claim that "inflation is coming" since inflation is already here and has been here for quite some time; the government just doesn't recognize it. Yes, technically, price can be raised in...

Although in a court of law, evidence would not be "broadly construed". But I'm content to let the grand jury decide. To discuss it now is just forum fodder.

We know what TT loves:

A perp of what? Jaywalking? Stick to the facts and you won't look like such a fool. "Found the suspect, but sorry dispatch, no can do. He's bigger than me, so I'll just gun him down."

So now you can buy wine spritzers?

I'm not making any assumptions. There's no evidence. And why am I in a fight with two guys in the first place, one of whom is bigger than I am?

Fortunately, none of them are worth replying to, so a great deal of time is saved by all, put to better use in any endeavor other than replying to said posts.

And the rest are not, and don't.

There's nothing to answer. There's no evidence that "two young gangbangers start a fight with a lone cop and break his face". As far as the "not racial" part, it's funny how the white guys gets warnings and the black guys get dead.

Good advice, jem (*ahem*, *ahem*).
