Which is exactly what he took.

He's another ugly, angry young man too. I'm beginning to see a correlation.; 7/24/12, 11:09 PM

You can't have it all.; 7/24/12, 11:53 PM

Or even at graduation. Doesn't matter, according to the courts, if the church is the only place in town big enough to hold the graduation...can't do it. Seperation clause.

So sad for Ms. Hudson. Everything was going great for her, and tragedy strikes. I'd wager she'd give her success up if it meant having her family back. While I am against the death penalty, I am for no possibility of parole, and this sentence was fair.; 7/25/12, 12:40 AM
Dante said...: Wow, those words must have had a real effect on a guy with a heart of an arctic night, and a soul as empty as space.

That judge really told THAT guy.

I wonder how the guy might have felt instead if the judge had said "And now you will be executed in the fortnight." That might have had a bit more meaning.; 7/25/12, 1:16 AM

And Mr. Hexadecimal Hash... damnit, don't make me laugh!; 7/25/12, 8:57 AM
