Thanks, guess I'd better get to the store now. The good part is husband and sons will be gone, out of the house, out of my hair!
This could be important...
Not if you can recognize it when you see it and post on a forum like FreeRepublic and thereby cause the eyes of the world to focus on the situation. In time, even the "pod people", as one of our dear FRiends has called them, will get the message. It will be a long and tedious struggle, but we fiddled while Rome burned for a few decades and let this get out of control. The bill, when it comes due, is always a shock. Honest, decent people will see that it gets paid and work hard to see it never gets out of their control again. It's not like we can sleep through and wake up on the other side in Paradise. We need to stay awake and plant for a harvest now.
Believe me I have. I know some of the people on this last committee they've formed.
What committee is that? Are you talking about the people with the blue wristbands? The name escapes me at the moment.
...and so He is if Mr. Nifong's motives are pure, his integrity intact, and his understanding of the law is sound. On the other hand, if all or some of those things are not the case, Mr. Nifong will fall as we all have fallen when we get it wrong. I don't know Mike Nifong. I have no dog in this fight, but I have experienced the system's malfunction and refuse to allow it to continue unabaited. How 'bout it?
exactly, nobody is spinning anything. the da said the dna would clear, the dna cleared. the da and the city denied that the fa had told multiple stories, the police notes show that she did and so on. the defense has not been heard from at all.
What time is the hearing?

Someone said 3 pm Eastern but I can't vouch for that.
A sandwich-board size vigilante poster with all 88 of the sanctimonious profs names and faces should be worn by someone strategically placed behind the cameras at today's hearing.
From President Pind*ck's letter:
"When the Campus Culture Initiative was announced, I mentioned that I would establish a Presidential Council to act as a sounding board for our efforts, critiquing our recommendations and setting an appropriately high standard for our work. I’m pleased to announce the membership of this group. It will be co-chaired by former trustees Wilhelmina Reuben-Cooke ‘67, a member of the first cohort of African American undergraduates admitted to Duke and now Provost of the University of the District of Columbia, and Roy Bostock ‘62, who has led a distinguished business career and now chairs the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. Judy Woodruff ‘68, the respected broadcast journalist and another former trustee, will serve as well, as will three leaders in higher education: Shirley Tilghman, President of Princeton University; Morton Schapiro, President of Williams College; and Phail Wynn, a notable Durhamite and President of the Durham Technical Community College. Four younger alumni have also agreed to serve: Adam Silver ’84 (NBA Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer, effective July 1), Sarah Dodds-Brown ‘95 (currently counsel for the American Express Company and a former young trustee), Julian Harris ‘00 (a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania and former head of the Duke Honor Council), and Katie Laidlaw ‘04 (associate with The Parthenon Group in Boston and currently a young trustee)."
These people are more related than they appear. They appear to all have been selected by Bostock. Not only is he a huge donor his buddies have been the root of most of Duke's fundraising. He was on, I believe, Duke's best football team in the 1950s and I have it on very good authority that he has some familiarity with "partying" students.
This could be interesting...

You are right, it could be quite interesting to hear what Black has to say.
Now THAT could be fun.
Who is this jerk attorney on Fox? The guy is absolutely misrepresenting the facts.
"Why did Duke hang these students out to dry and suspend the LAX program? There is evidence here of something."
"It's the blue wall of silence."
We gotta raise the standard on admission to the bar. Too many dummies are passing the exams because it's too d@mn easy.
What's DBM?
John Bourlon, member in good standing of the Durham CourtHouse Crowd was just on Dayside. Lots and lots of Koolaid. Sounded like a male version of Wendy Murphy...
