Who the f**k is Bill Maher? The Left's answer to Ann Coulter. I remember liking him as a comedian, years and years ago, before he got into the political and social commentary stuff, so he's one of those guys I kind of want to like because of that good impression made when I was younger. I haven't followed his career much since he became more widely known with the "Politically Incorrect" thing, but my impression is that he's about 50/50 between making a defensible point and saying something really stupid. But that's based on a small sample size, so maybe I'm being over generous with the 50/50.

Well, I wonder about more than half of the people who seem to be celebrities people 'follow' or pay any attention to these days... who watches or listens to them? Kardashians, Hiltons, even Oprah, or Trump before becoming president, plus a few hundred I can't even name... then again I did used to watch Charlie Rose sometimes and look what he was up to! I'm pretty alienated from the mainstream I feel but without going into an alternative universe of any kind, outside enjoying and learning about old music and comics anyway.
Did anyone else watch that CNN thing on the 'furries'? Not sure what i think about the whole thing, I wonder if this Maher guy caught it and what kind of mature scorn he might heap upon these fur-suiters? Especially the bit with young kids and parents wanting to be supportive of their fur personas. Some lovely costumes though, but I'm fulfilled having an old teddy to hug now and then and a human BF not dressed up as anything. Seattle I hardly know ya... and I've seen Capitol Hill get pretty weird...

My wife and I were watching an old episode of Murder, She Wrote recently, and Bill Maher showed up playing a publicity agent. Looking at IMDB, he had an active acting career from 1983-93, with roles on Alice, Max Headroom, Newhart, Married With Children and Roseanne, and recurring roles on Sara and Charlie Hoover along with two appearances on Murder, She Wrote. After 1993 he was well-known from Politically Incorrect, so his appearances after that are as himself.

I guess the bottom Line is that It's in poor taste to bash someone right when the person passes away. It's like getting up at a wake and cursing the person in the coffin.

So in the first of October my boss announced he was retiring. And while it wasn't a done deal that I'd replace him, that's ultimately what happened. About the same time both of the misdemeanor guys in my office left to go to the prosecuting attorney's office in a neighboring county. So by 15th of October We went from a five man office to a two man office. Normally it wouldn't have been a big problem to replace them. We've usually had a half dozen applicants for any given position. But that glut of attorneys has ended. We went a full month without getting a resume on the first open misdemeanor position. Law school graduations are down and there are a ton of open attorney positions right now.
Luckily I was able to convince a retired local attorney (and a friend of mine) to come on part time to take over one of the misdemeanor calendars. I also got another local attorney to cover the juvenile cases part-time (a step backward from where we were). And I finally was able to hire a new guy for the other misdemeanor calendar. But I'm still doing twice as many felonies as I had been doing and far more than I should be.
On the plus side the County Commissioners just gave me another $10,000/year pay bump (above and beyond what I got for taking over the office). So that's nice.

I guess that means you're buying a round for the entire forum. Congrats, SB.

For those who haven't seen it, there's been a massive recall on Romaine lettuce in the US and Canada as it has been linked to an e coli outbreak. CDC is advising everyone dispose of any Romaine lettuce or salad mix that might have romaine, and clean and disinfect the refrigerators where the romaine was stored. -M

But I have eaten two salads with romaine in them. So my wife has me watching out for the symptoms.
