This website is devoted to the identification and apprehension of bank robbers (a.k.a. bank bandits) in the Southern California territory, which specifically covers the [...]

Skadoosh! in The Boston Globe and Language Log
June 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
Wow. I really liked Kung Fu Panda, and came out of the movie saying “skadoosh” every five seconds. I thought it was just me, it felt like an obscure takeaway that really was not a “catch phrase” or anything. I mean it was only used in the movie once. One time! That’s no way to [...]

Having just waited 78 minutes this week for a bus that rolls every 30 minutes — the target bus and the one after it were driving together! — I can only hope these supa-vizors are really crack aces:

Report: Telco PACs Gave $8K to Dems Who Changed Their Vote on FISA Bill

This force of nature enjoyed some astounding early success from their unique talent that thrust them into the brightest of spotlights. They quickly developed a rabid and devoted fan base that believed they’d do great things for years to come. Their early success also resulted in a lot of irrational and bitter opposition from those [...]
The Constitution Dies Even Deader
June 24th, 2008 · No Comments · crime, politics
In reading about another brutal rape of the Constitution today, I came across a quote that summed up my feelings on the other violation of our most cherished human rights. My man TJ said it better than I could (via Salon):
In 1799, Thomas Jefferson echoed that: “Free government is founded in jealousy, not confidence . [...]
