Okay.

“This violent offender was released from jail because the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled courts cannot consider public safety when setting monetary bail,”

What the actual fuck? How does anyone get to the status of state SCJ and be so fucking stupid?

What makes you think the justices who made that ruling are “stupid”? One interpretation could be the one I presented above. Another possibility is that the actual language of the Ohio state constitution really has something that prohibits consideration of public safety when setting dollar amount on monetary bail, and the Ohio Supreme Court justices were just staying true to the state constitution rather than “legislating from the bench.”

OK, I admit an emotional response to an idea that sickens me. I will give you all that you state about the Ohio State Constitution and the Justices upholding it. Does the state Constitution permit denying bail if public safety is at risk? If not. then it needs to be modified.

If they are permitted to deny bail, then why wasn't it denied in the first place? And maybe the judge that made that decision needs to be evaluated.

Thoughts and prayers to those who struggle with this question as they stand with Ukraine.

That nicely sums up my impression as well.

OK, that's funny.

The Chinese have banned Winnie the Pooh films due to certain comparisons to their Glorious Leader, President Xi.

We’re near record low unemployment levels so you should be able to find a new gig easily if they find you out.

Better than sticky other alternatives.

Froggos are so much more gracious about such things. Everyone gets to climb as high as they can, or as high as they want. So genteel they seem, until you see one use another frog as the bridge or ladder to get to their destination.

Today, one frog was on a leaf that covered another frog. He was sitting on the other one with just a leaf between them. Baklava frogs!

It's a simple binary.

There's a really good Mexican place kitty-corner to my condo. Their burritos are yuge.

They are assembled well-enough that tableware is not necessary, but I totally get your point.

I wonder if she put any on her asp?....

LOL.

I used Lynx in, what, 1995 or so? Via dial-up it wasn't too bad.

No, your song on that list involves the words “one”, “night”, “bang”, and “cock”…

As long as there's plenty of Diet Coke and fresh brewed unsweet tea I'm fine.
