Youth Pastor Watch.
@4 It is all about Pre-Crime. Law Enforcement loves this, because it is cheap, it racks up arrest and convictions and they looked as getting creeps off the streets before they do damage.
It all boils down in how the Criminal Courts look at entrapment.

Such Nice Dogs.
Littlerock, CA is out in the middle of nowhere, I think it is more in the category of high desert that connects it to Palmdale and Lancaster. The dogs will be punished sufficiently when summer hits the place.
"Rural Los Angeles" is an oxymoron, there is "rural Southern California" like Hesperia, Apple Valley, etc. etc, but this is like stating, "Rural New York City"...

The Malcolm X Curse.
It is more like the "Human Curse" we all are fallible, and we all are going to die.
TJ, "Falling" out of a building, sounds like someone wasn't paying their drug debt.

Slog Bible Study: Isaiah 34:7.
@10 Yeah, I am kind of a blasphemous guy. I also wear mixed blends, and I am typing on the Sabbath. I don't know why G_d doesn't throw some a Fugu (Blowfish) or an inland Taipan my way, to smite me.
I am glad Goldy posted this, because it shows that even with really good seeing stones from Lenscrafters, people screwed up the translation, It should be greasy as a better adjective to describe the dust and gluttony than "fatness".
I mean one can translate this as "The Rhinos came along with them, the steers with the bulls, their nation will be soaked in blood, their dirt dripping with fat from the gristle".. the Zagit's guide translation, "Oh they really enjoyed the veal", (ie the bullocks, which could mean calves)

Slog Bible Study: Isaiah 34:7.
King James Version got it wrong, it should be oxen. and the dust should be greasy from all the fat, or something like that..
The King James Version sounds like it was written by someone watching a My Little Pony Marathon on goofballs.

Support Bradley Manning or Straight People Will Take Back Gay Marriage.
Manning wasn't arrested and made a plea deal because of his sexual identity. He wasn't demoted because of his sexual identity. Pfc Bradley Manning was charged and demoted because he downloaded and release all that was on a classified but with access to 800k users network.
He released everything from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. However what he did should not be celebrated as much as castigated for his recklessness.
He is not a traitor, but he certainly is not a hero either.

The Interviewing of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Begins.
@11
The WTO demonstrations and riots were surreal. It was more like police officers dressed up looking like Teenage Mutant NInja Turtles using bad tactics with many demonstrators acting like medieval peasants. The antics around the Sheraton were comical on both sides. The Tear Gas use on Broadway was completely unnecessary.

Slog Bible Study: Deuteronomy 14:18.
I don't know if the writers knew about Rabies when this section of Deuteronomy was written, but I am guessing that they knew like with trichonosis and pigs, that it is probably not a good thing to eat animals that acquire rabies at a large rate.
It all boils down in how the Criminal Courts look at entrapment.
