My pants-no more than $55

Mr. Provis, this is for you.

DC Judge J. Bartnoff ruled against Judge Roy L. Pearson in his pants lawsuit against the Chung dry cleaners. Not only that but she also ruled that Judge Pearson has to pay the Chungs’ court fees. It remains to be seen, however, if Judge Pearson also has to pay the Chungs’ attorney.

In the news broadcast, the Chungs’ lawyer said that he expects Judge Pearson to appeal. My advice to Mr. Pearson is to take it like a man.

And of course the Chungs' lawyer couldn't possibly stand to gain anything by Pearson lodging an appeal, could he...? (although, to be fair to him, he must've taken the case knowing there's no way he would've gotten paid if they'd somehow lost the case, so he can't be all evil...)

I think this case is ridiculous! Isn't this man some type of judge himself? I think they should take away his liscense. It does not show he has very good character and can think and judge logically.

@John: I have no doubt that the family attorney has got dollar signs in his eyes. To ensure that he gets paid, his law firm even set up a website that you can donate to the Chungs. Nice guy! (Or am I being too cynical?)

@Season: Yes, he is an administrative judge and apparently he has a history of bringing suits up in court. Did you know he sued his ex-wife for spousal support? I don't know if he will be removed from the bench or the bar, but I would think that, at least, no one will want anything to do with him. Who knows, he may not even get reappointed.

Meet Bob

 I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

Be fruitful and multiply...by ten.

Some coworkers and I were talking about that lady in Arkansas that just delivered her 17th child. The Associated Press announced the good news a couple days ago and I remembered the family from the Discovery Channel . The Duggar family had been the subject of a number of specials dealing with large families. They are especially memorable given that the number of kids as well as their, well, peculiar lifestyle. The people that I was talking to balked at the idea of having that many kids with a few of them openly calling the Duggar parents crazy. I have to admit, I think that they are little bonkers in the head too. But you know, that’s cool on the other hand too. And it’s actually impressive that they are able to afford to have such a large family. There are some parts of me that would like to have a large family. (My definition of large stops at five kids just so you know.) But their criticisms largely used the Duggars' religious faith. From what this article indicated, they are pa

Whatever happened to the Queer Golden Rule?

Wow, Tyler Whitney is popping up all over the gay blogging circuit but the rest of America doesn’t care. Mr. Whitney is an 18 year old staffer for a Republican candidate for President. He was outed. This has caused a little firestorm amongst the gay bloggies with many calling this guy a bigot, an a-hole, and even worse. The way some people have responded to this, Mr. Whitney is fit to be tied to the stake and burned for not being a good little gay. I do not deny that Mr. Whitney has done some pretty offensive stuff. Carrying anti-gay placards that aren’t even fit to be called “homophobic” certainly strikes points against him. However, as I read more about him the more I genuinely feel the need to reach out and hug him. Because I know that he has got to be feeling pretty alone. He’s getting grief from two communities who are openly hostile to which he belongs -conservatives and gays. I have to ask though, is he really deserving of such scorn? Look, his “crime” is working for an
