Unless, of course, she took a few too many of these. Either way, it’s good to know that there’s someone out there for everyone.

Which is dumberer? Calling 911 to commit a crime; or Calling 911 to report a crime in progress being committed by … um … you?

Or for Denver, anyway. First they banned the pit bulls. Now they ban anything that meeps. UPDATE: What a [meep] idiot I am. How the [meep] could I confuse [meep]ing Danvers, MA with [meep]ing Denver, CO? What the [meep]ing [meep]?!

Since I’ve been blogging a lot about family law issues of late, it behooves me to disclose that as of Friday, November 6, Mrs. X and I are officially separated. If/when I discuss any family law issues that affect me differently from anyone else, I shall properly disclose such issues. Otherwise, you may [...]

Which of the following statements is dumberer? Traditional marriage laws do not discriminate. Gays have the same right to marry members of the opposite sex that straights have. AIDS does not discriminate. Straight men who take it in the butt from other men are just as likely to get AIDS as gay men who take [...]

Ed Morrissey confuses GM with GMAC. Lame.

Matt Drudge links to a Yahoo! article noting that after only four consecutive quarters of negative growth, we’ve finally had one whole quarter in which growth was positive. As is his wont, Drudge throws in a misleading headline of his own that goes far beyond anything stated in the linked article. In this case, [...]

The Bloggess (h/t: Robb Alllen) has the proof. Meanwhile, I’d like a little grammatical help from you, the reader. Which of the following is the most appropriate past tense for tweet? twate twote tweeten twitten tweetered [Censored] Other (specify)

Ed Morrissey whines but I say heh. One side of me almost hopes this initiative passes. Yes, I really do hate California that much.

If there’s one thing worse than winning second place in a beauty contest, is placing fourth ugly pageant. TotalBeauty.com compiles statistics on education, exercise habits, smoking rates, sales of contraceptives, etc. and concludes there is less sex going on there than in any other city except Miami (!), Hagerstown, MD, and El Paso. [...]

Because private carriers sometimes … um … deny claims.

My post on tortious interference with contract vs. alienation of affection led to an interesting discussion, but not really the one I was aiming for here, so let’s try one more time, taking this to a more abstract level. This is NOT about whether you support or oppose alienation of affection laws. If [...]

I’ve bitched about alienation of affection laws in the past, both because I think any emotional harm of seeing one’s ex move on with his/her life should be damnum absque injuria and, more importantly, because to the extent there is a compensable harm in there, the person primarily responsible ought to be the offending spouse [...]

Professor Louisa Degenhardt of the University of New South Wales has conducted a study determining that Australia, New Zealand and North America are the countries that consume the most pot. The study does not, however, say how much pot one must consume to think North America is a country.

The Los Angeles Times has weighed in against Chicago’s unconstitutional handgun ban. Odder still, they are doing so for basically the right reason: exempting cities and states from one inconvenient constitutional right would open the door to losing the rest. Is anyone whose last name isn’t Daley or Sotomayor actually supporting Chicago’s position [...]

John McCormick of Bloomberg “News” has an uncommonly silly piece on the poor, downtrodden gun-grabbers whose continuing efforts to blame the gun lobby for the failures of their own unconstitutional gun ordinance are being largely ignored. I counted five flat-out lies in the article, which are in addition to the overall whiny tone, but what [...]

Your “radio” concept is kinda neat, but would be a bit neater if it worked with Firefox, and neater still if you’d lay off on the [censored]ing censorship. And for [censored]’s sake, if you must [censored]ing censor [censored], at least be honest about it and have your mascot “meep” the [censored] cuss words out [...]

Whenever you hear the H-word, check twice, and a third time. Usually it’s some liberal screaming “hypocrisy” whenever a conservative proves to be human on an issue where liberals and conservatives generally agree (and where liberals are every bit as prone to failure as conservatives, but somehow their hypocrisy doesn’t count). When the [...]

A recent Texas case raises an interesting issue: if your home state says you aren’t married, but another state where you don’t reside says you are, can you get divorced anywhere? [Pete] Schulte said Texas was the only place where they could file for divorce because they live in the state and have established residency. “I have [...]

Last century, while in law school, I learned of an amusing case where some joker ended up on the wrong end of a trademark suit for registering “bellsouthstinks.com” as a web domain. It struck me as one of the most ludicrous trademark cases around, save for those where it is the trademark itself that [...]
