...flashing commuters since May. Because many of the reports came from young women driving past the area, police placed a policewoman in her 20s

wow, those j-stones are really on top of things. Almost six months to catch the guy.

And why in the world was a plainclothes officer doing…

I don't want to sound alarmist, but this looks like jihadists have infiltrated the US army.

I think "jihadists ideas" is a more appropriate term. I don't think they are sending in sleeper agents ala Tom Clancy just yet. If they were, that would be an awful lot of planning…

I like movies. I see lots of movies. If it's made by QT, I'll see it. Some I'll even watch several times over the course of several years (pulp fiction, kill Bill I).

Missing your kids baseball game is regrettable.

Showing up late to the office Christmas party is regrettable.

True Fact: There is a huge online market of erotic fiction for women. And by far, the best selling genre is where the vampire comes in, swoops the woman off her feet, and makes mad vampire love to her.

If she is guilty, and I suspect she is, I doubt she was doing it on her own accord. An ex nurse wouldn't voluntarily get herself into the drug trade.

She owes somebody.Or at least she used to. Whoever she owed will write her off and simply move on to…

I hope they find the school responsible for this somehow. Leaving two kids alone with deadly weapons is just idiotic. Kids will be kids, which is why they need to be supervised if there are dangerous, or deadly weapons around. leaving kids alone with bows and arrows is completely stupid…

Well, this dude is being helped by somebody, or people are more clueless than ever. so much for the "he killed himself" theory.
