    Twitter should be auto-linking because I hooked up the RSS feed to it. We couldn't figure out how to get Facebook to do it, though, so that one is all manual. I'll see what I an do!

    I figured that's what you meant but I don't know how to do that. Nobody, y'know, explains things to us. I don't think I have FTP access anyway. I'll try and get the originals edited in there but yeah it's just frustrating. Actually just give me those links again, we can hotlink them, I don't give a smurf.

    I just discovered a bunch of things all at once and figured I'd get the jump on it. Ican't let you beat me.It's just not right! Figure I'm good to take another break and let you shine for a while before I flood the site with random news.

    I figured EoEO wouldn't show up in the plagiarism detector things as it's one of them hidden forums. Don't know how sound my logic is there but w/e. I wrote about how Australian politics was a farce, that both parties are incompetent children playing at politics and how it's everybody's fault for being ignorant and voting for these diptrouts.

    For one of my classes I had to write a short opinion piece on a topic of our choice. I sat there for like 90 minutes going "I don't care about anything this class is stupid my teacher is a bitch" until I decided to browse EoEO for inspiration. Honestly, I was just going to rip some of your posts apart and stick them in a word doc and call it a job well done, until I realised that Australian politics is almost as big an embarrassment as American and it went from there. It's probably the type of thing that could get me heavily sued for defamation but I enjoyed writing it

    Government commissioned housing here is basically a breeding ground for juvenile offenders and it doesn't improve any once they age. The welfare system is horribly broken and education is probably rather poor which doesn't help anything. I honestly wonder how we haven't imploded sometimes. The War on Drugs is one of the most misguided things to happen in our generation (sad that it is only one of, we need to pick up our game) and will no doubt be shown as an example of what not to do. The prostitution thing is hilarious too: the argument can easily be made that relationships involve sex and the transfer of funds and goods, what is it that really separates the two? Urgh this is too much thinking before breakfast.

    I prefer those alternative methods to reducing crime like making people less likely to need to commit crimes, and that thing Denver did where they were tough on vandalism by always fixing it and it dropped the rate of crime across the board. We don't need police smacking down people. Or doors. As far as I'm aware they didn't have a warrant or anything. It's kind of fascinating, because I've not really been exposed to this, but also rather enraging. Also this link is absolutely terrifying.

    I feel as though if everyone had the same good and rational intent as you do, there wouldn't be a whole lot of problems with the process at all. Obviously there is room for human error but I think we'd see a sharp reduction in smurf ups and an improvement in the way the court system is viewed by the general populace. In somewhat related news, I have some interesting police misconduct for you: the front door to my father's house was smashed down and the house searched under the pretence of "finding a dead body." There are some extenuating circumstances which make me think there's been a ruse to make him look guilty after a bushfire there on the weekend by a bitch of a woman next door, but I don't think they really had any grounds to suspect a body and therefore wtf are you doing breaking into houses.

Glenn Beck and the Department of Irony

by Raistlin on 01-22-2014 at 09:53 PM
Glenn Beck compared Bill Nye's criticism of creationists with the Catholic Church's treatment of Galileo, concluding that Nye was on the "wrong side of history."



I know Beck long ago reached the level of self-parodying, but at this point I think he's in league with the manufacturers of irony meters, because he keeps making mine explode.

Lori Kilchermann is a yellow journalist

by Raistlin on 07-22-2013 at 11:52 PM
In a 2012 story on a meth bust, the Ionia Sentinel-Standard, based in Michigan, decided to run a picture of the bust site farmhouse from 2 years earlier, when a political candidate had held a fundraiser. This led to accusations of the Sentinel-Standard and its editor, Lori Kilchermann, engaging in "yellow journalism," or distorting irrelevant details of a story for purposes of sensationalism or partisanship. These detractors also publicly encouraged others to cancel their Sentinel-Standard

That pesky Fourth Amendment

by Raistlin on 06-03-2013 at 11:48 PM
My public defender’s office handles a lot of interesting cases. One of the most notable to come out of my office in recent years was Maryland v. King, which involved a challenge to a state law that permits the police to obtain a DNA sample of all people arrested for a crime, before any conviction and without the need for any belief that the DNA was relevant to the crime the arrestee was detained for. DNA sampling was thus just another routine booking procedure like fingerprinting, but DNA tests

Information is the enemy

by Raistlin on 05-27-2013 at 10:04 PM
[I wanted to rant on this issue, but I figured EoEO might be tired of my anti-Obama speeches. Though it is his fault for continuing to give me so much material. ]

To the government, information is the enemy. That is why the US government has demonized Wikileaks, because it threatens to shame governments for their misconduct. So-called issues of “national security” may have merit on certain, specific occasions, but the broad way the label is used makes it clear that that is not the

Cop Science is Junk Science

by Raistlin on 03-11-2013 at 11:55 PM
Last week, I almost had my first trial. And it was going to be one of the most complicated cases to appear in Maryland District Court (which covers non-jury misdemeanor cases): a challenge to so-called Drug Recognition Experts.

Take this hypothetical scenario: a woman is pulled over for driving over a dividing line (“erratic driving”). The cop talks to her, asks if she’s been drinking. She denies it, but seems a little out of it. He asks if she’ll take a preliminary breath test,
