I love how everyone claims the Ferguson prosecuted didn't try hard enough, the people processing the  physical evidence were biased, the witnesses were scared to testify, yet they ignore the fact that most of the witnesses who made a big deal about the "execution" on TV were caught in lies or just disappeared after their few seconds of fame, yet the dozen or so witnesses that confirmed the cop's story were mostly black people from the same poor neighborhood. The reason they weren't thrown in the spotlight was twofold, one it wouldn't fit the race-baiting sound bites the media loves, and two, many of them are scared of being persecuted by their own community for simply telling the truth. So apparently everyone is lying except the people who were caught lying or gave hugely contradictory accounts.  

Yeah, sure.  That's totally plausible.  

The Ferguson case was no-billed the a grand jury. Not sure what the prosecutor would have to do with it. I'm also not convinced that was the wrong call. The officer's story adds up with the physical evidence as far as I can tell.

I have to admit, it's a bit disconcerting to see all these cute pictures of animals that Cygnia posts, with *shank-shank-shank* diretly underneath.
 
I feel like...
 
"Oh what a cute wet puppy..."  (*shank-shank-shank*)  "... um, never mind.  Well, how about that little lamb cuddled up to that kid?"  (*shank-shank-shank*)  "Hmmm... guess Cygnia was hungry for some lamb chops.  Oooo!  what a cute baby seal!"  (*shank-shank-shank*)  "I guess now I know why it's eyes were so wide.  It wasn't a look of cuteness; it was a look of terror."

The movie "Sahara" (with Matthew McCounaghy or however you spell it) takes place in the modern day, but might as well be an Indiana Jones movie. 

The Shadow, with Alec Baldwin and Tim Curry.

My experience of introducing people to Hero has taught me that, whatever you do, you can't let them read the back cover or paraphrase it to them in any way.  The moment you tell people that 'This is a system where you can build any character you can imagine', you had best prepare for a hefty session of clarification and disappointment themed along the lines of '...if you have enough points'.
 
First time out, just had them pre-built characters and get on with it.  Hero is a very good gaming system in its own right, the character creation part is great fun too, but not essential to enjoying the game.

Hey Log! You double pos-oh.

I can barely stand this post.

I remember seeing stuff like that ... 40? years ago. But it was printed, and you were supposed to color it.

No picture of the drunken, gun-toting, trombone-playing clown? What is happening to journalism in this country??

I got so excited the wife looked at me funny.

I really hope the right side window is closed.
