The only ones that somewhat bother me are the *false advertising* ones. Here in Denver we have two guys with pretty clever acts. One dresses as a priest and the other as a fireman (sorta) and uses a bucket for *donations* as firemen sometimes do. I'm sure both guys make a killing on a good day. That...

With Rhenquist looking like Death Warmed Over there will be two appointments for Bush, perhaps even concurrently.

Kids believe they are invincible and over the years I've noticed that pretty much anything you tell teenagers not to do (whether for their own good or not) is the first thing many will gravitate towards.

Apparently one was done and revealed what would later be found by the autopsy. I can only guess that the MRI presented insufficient proof regarding what the medical folks/courts were looking for.
