Legal Advice

    Good to know.

They tore it down...

    Well, rats.  The owner of this house in Istanbul, who's been refusing to sell for over three months now, apparently has given in.  Or perhaps, forced the builders to sweeten their offer for his home and land.

    The MSNBC article about it is here.  I admire him for his refusing to be bullied into selling.  I also admire the Turkish government for allowing him to stand his ground.  I don't know his name, but he's invited to our New Year's Eve party.

Thank you, Miss Rosa

    And Happy Birthday, too!  (b. 02/04/13)

Bye Bye, Bardwell

Keith Bardwell is the clueless racist who, as a Justice of the Peace in Louisiana, refused to marry an interracial couple a couple weeks ago. His actions were so outrageous that even the dittoheads refused to come to his support. He finally got the message, and resigned today. You can read about it here. . Keith doesn't think he's prejudiced; he's only concerned about the children of mixed marriages. Right, Keith-o. Perhaps the federal civil rights lawsuit that the couple have filed against you will get through your thick skull. . My question is - how does a cretin this stupid and this bigoted get appointed JOTP in the first place? Didn't someone interview him or do a background check on him? . Dear Louisiana. When you go looking for Bardwell's replacement, just ask the applicant(s), "Do you think Abraham Lincoln was a liberal commie for freeing the slaves?" If they answer "yes", you probably want to move on to the next candidate.
