Italy's top court upholds Amanda Knox's conviction for falsely accusing innocent man of murder | AP News

That sucks for her. I don't remember all the details, but essentially she suggested a local bartender as a possible suspect during questioning by police. This conviction smacks of revenge for beating the murder charge.

The pizza-gate guy is starting a trend. I have a feeling we're going to see quite a few more stories like this in the coming years.

“For a man who spent his entire life in public service, every day I am awake is a punishment,” said Menendez, who was chair of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee at the time he took the payoffs.

lol

Well, maybe not your "entire life," cupcake. The part where you were raking in piles of cash and gold bars like some perpetually hammered Saudi prince may have been something less than public-servicey.

Enjoy the hoosegow, chief. As Last Week Tonight advised the thankfully dead Bob Murray, "Eat shit, Bob!"

He already sold his soul (hence his conviction). No dignity left to lose.

Bakery owner in New England says he was offended over town’s decision against pastry painting.

This is the most interesting story of government overregulation that I've see for a while.

Two Colorado men were arrested for attempting to smuggle $112,000 worth of tobacco and $89,500 worth of methamphetamine into a federal prison using a compressed air cannon. . . . .

. . .

18-year-old Jose Francisco Herrera Munoz, and 19-yeard-old Angel Gonzales Gutierrez plan involved launching contraband over the prison’s security fence, with the cannon capable of propelling items over 350 feet.

lol

Yet again we see Big Government using its filthy jackboot to crush entrepreneurs who identified a need and were trying to meet that need.

[It's Me!]

If I were to attempt to smuggle something into a prison, using an air cannon capable of 100+ DB isn't the tool I'd immediately land upon.
