So in other words, he didn't account for you

I don't wonder, and I don't care. Thanks for the laugh.

You never disappoint

Libertarianism is also by definition limited, constitutional government and personal responsibility. So....no Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, no gun control, very limited business regulations. So, I guess you can't be a libertarian if you don't believe all these things either, right? You know, you can identify with a political party and not agree with everything they stand for. That goes for Democrat, Republicans, or any 3rd party. By the way, the Libertarian party no longer espouses open borders. Since 9/11, they've been in favor of regulated immigration.

The show at the Centrum was the one where I sold my ticket.

DEI was derogatory from the start

My wife's gonna be crushed

Except OUI

Some people didn't read the rules. Black Sabbath and Bad Company were the only ones I got

Well, I'll be at a wedding Fri night. At least I don't have to worry about findng a TV at the function hall to catch the game.

Yeah, I guess you could look at it that way. The state said they would re-try again if it was a hung jury. I don't know where this MA lawyer you speak of gets the notion that 3 or 4 retrials in MA is a thing. I've lived here my entire 61 years of existence, and I can only think of one high profile trial that went to 3 trials. Years ago, some guy was accused of murdering his wife on a boat and tossing her body overboard. The first trial ended up 6-6, the first retrial was 9-3 to convict, and the 3rd trial was 11-1 to convict. The state gave up, and the guy walked.

I don't know how one guy could be a plant for the prosecution. He'd still have to convince the other 11. However, it was weird. She just got finished telling the jurors that the 12 deliberating jurors would picked at random, then she went ahead and picked a jury foreperson. (Well, asked, and the person said Yes). So basically it went like: "We will select the 12 jurors by a random lottery. By the way, Juror #5, would you like to be on the jury?"

Oh. OK, then I hope the jury doesn't forget the instructions over the weekend. I assume they're not going to start deliberations on a Friday afternoon, are they?

I really don't care how this turns out, one way or the other. I just hope the jury was given correct instructions that they can understand this time, so there's no F up like the first trial.
