Prison Inmates (Dedicated to Dominick Dunne)
My impression, and I could be wrong, is that lifestyle is factored into the evaluation. If someone is an unreformed alcoholic, they are unlikely to get a new liver. However I completely agree with you that if you are in prison for a felony that should be an automatic disqualification, as long as there is a shortage of donor organs. Although that brings up another point. Why doesn't EVERY person have that donor sticker on their license? If you don't, and one person dies waiting for a transplant, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE.— August 28, 2009 2:16 a.m.

The concern with the raisinettes is the calories. They're OK otherwise. I'm not so sure the turkey still is.— August 28, 2009 2:05 a.m.

I liked Peace until he orchestrated energy deregulation, proving he was an idiot. And now he works for Moores. Wow.— August 28, 2009 1:47 a.m.

Turkeys ARE great cooked this way, but I also wonder what it does to the healthy-ness of it. Does the oil cancel out the advantage of lean meat to start with? Anybody know?— August 27, 2009 3:25 a.m.
The year I taught at Morse Senior High I spent $2000 on school supplies and making copies
Surf I agree with your take on teacher ed. Most of it is driven by people who couldn't hack it in the classroom and looked for a way out, and now spend their time justifying their jobs by heaping requirements on working teachers. However I disagree on your take about "failing" teachers. Your numbers are way too high. Most bad teachers find their way out of the profession fairly quickly. The job is just too hard if you're not one of those who views it as a calling. In my view most teachers are either great or good. Very few are "failing".— August 21, 2009 2:42 p.m.

Milwaukee Mayor in a Fight, Cops and Shoplifters in Flight
BTW I wish everybody was like this mayor. Way to many people have the nonconfrontational, mind-your-own-business attitude, rather than standing up for what's right. I just almost got beat up myself, because I was in Carls Jr and a guy came in and went right to the soda fountain and started filling up his gatorade bottle with lemonade. When he asked me what I was looking at, I told him a thief. He told me to mind my own business. When I told him it was my business, because I (and everyone else) would have to pay for that, he came over to my booth and stood over it, talking sh%# and trying to intimidate me. I was just waiting for him to put his hands on me, but he never did. After spouting off a little more about how I was going to get my a$$ kicked over a drink, he left. My point is, if everybody stood up for what's right, every time, guys like this wouldn't go through life thinking they can do whatever they want. Maybe once in a while someone would have to take one for the team, like this mayor. But wouldn't it be worth it? Wouldn't the world be a better place?— August 19, 2009 4:53 p.m.
Milwaukee Mayor in a Fight, Cops and Shoplifters in Flight
I suspect if a cop sent in the red light ticket with his identity, showing he was a cop, he'd still get out of it. Anybody know different?— August 19, 2009 4:41 p.m.
Have you ever pawned anything?
I was wondering how you filmed that video on a helicopter until the last sentence.— August 19, 2009 4:27 p.m.
