The law and the jungle

I guess I don't disagree with this outcome, at least not very strongly:

I try to keep my music and my politics separate. I have to. As someone on the right side of the political spectrum, I'd hardly get to hear any music at all otherwise. But I swear, these frickin' morons deserve to be boycotted:

Vistors to Columbian Park in Lafayette complained about the teenagers who congregated at the basketball court there, who spouted profanities that could be heard a long way away and sometimes stopped their basketball game long enough to have a fight. So, simple solution: Park officials removed the basktball hoops.

Tom Rankin, the city’s parks, safety and security director, said removing the goals has reduced loitering and rowdiness to a minimum.

“It’s been like night and day so far,” he said.

Sorry, Chris, but I don't accept you as my spokesman:

Sounds like being on a jury in Florida might be more fun than my last vacation:

The sequestration of the jury that ultimately acquitted George Zimmerman cost Florida taxpayers about $33,000 and allowed jurors creature comforts such as dinner at Outback Steakhouse, a bowling excursion and a trip to the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum.

"I was just following the vice president's advice" is good for a laugh but not a smart self-defense claim:

The licensing Nazis are working overtime in Kentucky:

On May 7, Kentucky’s office of attorney general sent a letter to newspaper advice columnist John Rosemond. The letter ordered him to sign a consent decree that he would stop practicing psychology without a license in their state, and stop calling himself a psychologist in Kentucky as well, since he was not licensed by the state’s Board of Examiners of Psychology.

Lamebrained analysis based on incompetent reporting:

New Metropolitan Human Relations Commission Executive DirectorDawn Cummings explains what the agency does:

Metro combines law enforcement with education and outreach, Cummings explained, with types of discrimination falling into three groups: overt, covert and unconscious.

So what do they want, the death penalty?

A state law that took effect last week doubles Indiana's fines for motorists who illegally park in parking spaces for the disabled.
