Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s free stay at the secluded Texas ranch where he died highlights questions about what gratuities judges can accept and whether they should socialize with people who could have litigation before the courts, legal experts say. When he suddenly passed away Saturday, Scalia was on a hunting trip at Cibolo Creek Ranch, a high-end resort near the Mexican border that has played host to movie stars and European royalty. While there, he joined about 35 other invited guests for a weekend that included a hunt for blue quail and an all-expenses-paid private party. Ranch owner John B. Poindexter said he footed the bill for Scalia’s accommodations, but not ...

The world of archaeology was astonished at the discovery of the Tarim Mummies out in the Takla Makan Desert in China. Now, these well-preserved Caucasian mummies are about 4,000 years old and have not yet collected Social Security or Medicare. I understand that they’ve been warned to sign up for Obamacare or face significant looting of their grave goods by the U.S. government. Be that as it may, one of the grave goods discovered with them was a huge sack full of marijuana buds, perfectly preserved. Indeed, I know what you’re thinking because I’m thinking that, too. “Hmmm…how well preserved? Aged, like wine?” We’ll never know because the stash of ...

I have a woman friend who's husband is an ex Viet Nam war vet. He has a peculiar form of PTSD. Fifty years after the fact he still rants and raves about how solders were required to lose a hundred me taking a hill, withdraw, then two weeks lose another hundred men retaling the same hill. The loss of close to 70 thousand men makes no sense to him. He ist't muich fun to be around. He just explodes periodically obsessed by memories of something that makes no sense and he doesn't understand. I've decided to work with him. I've given him a copy of William Colby's book "Lost Victory" with the following introductory comments by myself: This is by William Colby. ...

Despite the fact that Sirhan Sirhan shot him in the head nearly 50 years ago, Paul Schrade attended the convicted assassin’s parole hearing this week to both forgive Sirhan and defend the shooter’s innocence in the assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. After decades of research into the assassination and witnessing the event first-hand, Schrade continues to assert that Sirhan physically could not have fired the fatal bullet that killed Kennedy. Shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968, two months after the assassination of MLK, Kennedy entered the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles when Sirhan stepped towards him and opened fire. While Kennedy shook hands with the ...

Complete f-ing insanity from the outskirts of the Land of the Free, as reported by Minnesota Star-Tribune, about a former pair of publicans from Minnesota who will be going to court in March facing felony charges for selling Spotted Cow beer at the Maple Tavern in Maple Grove, Minnesota. The former owner and manager (the bar is under new management now with a new liquor license) Brandon Hlavka and David Lantos face a felony charge for transporting alcohol into Minnesota for resale without the requisite license to do that. The beer, New Glaurus Spotted Cow, is from Wisconsin and since its manfacturer is not licensed to sell in Minnesota, it is against the law to sell it in the state. ...

When most people try to make a point about how aggressive and militaristic our cops have become, they typically draw upon pop culture references, such as the Andy Griffith Show. They’ll say “Whatever happened Mayberry? Whatever happened to that polite sheriff and his goofy deputy?” It’s one of the most effective ways to express how creepy our police have become over the years, because it’s so much easier for the average person to digest a pop culture analogy. And since movies and TV shows draw upon real life to give their stories some semblance of accuracy, these analogies can still inform us about what has transpired in the real world. However, it isn’t just ...

Scott Walker and His Band of Idiots Have Another Great Idea for Wisconsin's Water

Thanks to the market-based solution forced on the city of Flint by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, clean drinking water is suddenly a bigger national issue than it's been since before good old liberal lion Dick Nixon signed the Clean Water Act in 1972. (I remain convinced that he did so after a long talk with the portrait of Abraham Lincoln that hangs in the White House and that they both were pretty hammered at the time.) Naturally, in situations like this, when we consider the depredations of Republican governors toward the commons, what springs to mind is the administration of Scott Walker, the failed presidential candidate and goggle-eyed homunculus hired by Koch Industries to manage ...

Queens, NY – After suing his fellow officers for savagely beating and falsely arresting him at his daughter’s birthday party, an NYPD cop was awarded $15 million by a federal jury on Wednesday. Although he identified himself as an officer, his colleagues viciously struck him with batons and fired pepper spray into his face before bothering to check the badge and ID in his pocket. On August 22, 2010, NYPD Officer Larry Jackson was off-duty at his daughter’s birthday party in Queens when an unidentified man with a gun appeared in the street breaking a bottle. Although Jackson did not have his gun with him, the off-duty cop confronted the armed man and asked him to leave while ...

Politicians Have Numerous Options for Unused Campaign Cash After Leaving Elected Office by Steve Spires on March 1, 2010 The recent retirement announcement of U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) shook Capitol Hill. Bayh had been polling strong and was expected to win re-election to a third term. He has also been fund-raising like he was running for re-election, generating nearly $9 million since his last election in 2004. His campaign committee boasts nearly $13 million in cash on hand. But Bayh had had enough of electoral politics, he said. So now that Bayh is leaving elected office when his term ends early next year, where does all that money go? “The bottom line is no personal use, ...

Two Tennessee police officers are being accused of excessive force after they Tasered a 36-year-old middle school cleaning woman. The police claim that they thought Juana Raymundo, originally from Guatemala, was a “burglar” because she was in the otherwise empty school building at night.

Now, Raymundo has been charged with “evading arrest” since she ran from the police who were aiming weapons at her in the middle of the night, in her place of employment. Even though she clearly had cleaning supplies in the hallway, the Times Free ...
