re: the men arrested for telling lawyer jokes -
They were not arrested for simply telling lawyer jokes.
They were wanting the crowd of people waiting to get into the courthouse to revolt over the fact that attorneys get in without going through the metal detector. This crowd is waiting on line to get into court. The people are mostly there for DWI charges, assault, domestic violence, drug possession...it started to get ugly as they riled up the crowd of people. The court officers had to step in and when they did, one of the activists (yes, the two arrested men are anti-lawyer activists) pushed a court officer.
They did what they had to. The media is only giving part of the story.

Well...I bought "A State of Fear" about two weeks ago and just started reading it, and I can say, it's a great read. Always enjoy anything that Crichton writes (although I wish he'd have explored the discovered craft in "SPHERE" which remained oddly disregared by the main characters).
Interesting list there, Kevin.

First it was Hate Crimes legislation. Then it was Hate Speech. I knew the constitution was in danger when I heard the Liberal-Left trying to criminalize speech they didn't like. And they are succeeding.
I never knew Clint Eastwood was a Republican. Then again, he's a California Republican which is similar to Northeast GOPers.

"I'd been noticing a trend along these lines, as famous and powerful men took up with the young women whose job it was to tend to them and care for them in some way: their secretaries, assistants, nannies, caterers, flight attendants, researchers and fact-checkers.
Women in staff support are the new sirens because, as a guy I know put it, they look upon the men they work for as "the moon, the sun and the stars." It's all about orbiting, serving and salaaming their Sun Gods."

- MoDo JoJo is feeling her age.....When the White House finally had had enough of her speech making, liberal based loaded questions, and moved her to the back row at the press gaggles, she slowly came completely unhinged....

"Women in staff support are the new sirens because, "
That completely explains my fascination, if not adoration, of waitresses. You ask for something, and they bring it. How could a relationship get any better. Kind of like Santa Claus, but in a short skirt.
