Who should be the President of Venezuela right now?

Mississippi actually prosecuted the case on their own and assisted in the federal prosecutions as well.

Farve was accused of accepting speaking fees for speeches he didn't give, he paid the money back. The other (federal) allegations were not substantiated and the DOJ did not pursue further. The State of Mississippi put their Dept of Human Services supervisor in prison for 30 years. Are we...

Keep in mind that the Captain of the Costa Concordia was one of the first off of the ship.

I thought there had been some more info about the ceiling foam but I can't find it now. I don't know where the bought it, but it should not be for a ceiling in a public bar. I associate this stuff with a recording studio or as padding for sensitive equipment. Did they just buy a bunch of it...

I don't think that makes any sense at all. There is a lot media hate for Trump but the actual nations are not that heated. Why is Greenland such a a hot topic all of a sudden. I think Russia was or is about to make a move.

Their on-line ads showed these sparklers were a thing.

Totally agree. Those things are thousands of degrees hot. The idea of using them indoors (let alone in a crowded bar) is insane!

The NTSB is an amazing group.

Driving under the influence was looked at a LOT different back in those days. It wasn't until the early 80's I think until things really changed. Even today, a DUI resulting in death is going to end with some sort of manslaughter charge.

Holy cow. The allegations go back to high school. And he had been prosecuted but got a diversion. Which itself doesn't make sense that he was allowed to enlist with that still hanging over him. And how many (3+) criminal allegations against him since he had been in the Navy and still wasn't in...
