Jon Jones arrested for Suspicion of DUI
UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was arrested early Saturday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence.
TMZ.com first reported the arrest, and Jones management has since verified the news.
"I can confirm that Jon Jones was arrested early this morning on suspicion of DUI, wrote Jones manager, Malki Kawa, in an official statement. While the facts of this situation are still being gathered and situated, First Round Management fully supports Jon, and we are asking for fans and media to respect the privacy of Jon and his family during this time.
According to the TMZ report, Jones allegedly ran his Bentley into a pole in Binghamton, N.Y., at approximately 5 a.m. ET. After being taken into custody by the Broome County Sheriffs Department, Jones was reportedly bailed out by his mother a few hours later. The arrest marks the second UFC fighter to be taken into custody on suspicion of DUI in the last month, as featherweight Ross Pearson was arrested in Las Vegas approximately three weeks ago.
Jones, 24, is widely regarded as one of the top pound-for-pound talents in all of mixed martial arts. The UFCs reigning 205-pound champion captured his title last year, demolishing Mauricio Rua at UFC 128. Bones would follow that performance with another stellar outing at UFC 135 last September, finishing Quinton Jackson with a rear-naked choke to retain his championship.
The Jacksons MMA representative closed out the year with another submission win over another former champion in Lyoto Machida and most recently outpointed former training partner Rashad Evans at UFC 145 on April 21. Jones is expected to defend his title for the fourth time on Sept. 1 against former Strikeforce champion Dan Henderson at UFC 151 in Las Vegas.

York marks reburial of King Richard III
Live updates
Ugandan choir sing for schoolchildren at York Minster
The Archbishop of York has had a taste of home as the voices of a Ugandan children's choir raised the roof of York Minster.
They sang as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations of All Saints Church of England Academy in Ingleby Barwick.
They're on a fundraising tour around England and say they've loved performing in the North East.
Academy celebrates 10th anniversary
An academy in Ingleby Barwick is celebrating its tenth anniversary.
All Saints Church of England Academy marked the milestone with a service at York Minster.
Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu spoke at the Service of Thanksgiving earlier today, which was attended by the whole school community.
Pieces of York Minster to be sold at auction
An auction is set to take place today, August 16, to sell off pieces of York Minster.
The stones from the historic building were removed during restoration work. The money raised will help support the ongoing conservation works at the cathedral.
York Minster arrest
A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault after temporarily disrupting the start of a General Synod service at York Minster.
The Church of England said the man, who was held at the back of the Minster before being removed by police, was not a protester.
A man was restrained within yards of the Archbishop of Canterbury the Most Rev Justin Welby and the Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu as they processed in for the beginning of the Holy Communion service.
A spokesman said two people suffered minor injuries in the scuffle - a member of Dr Sentamu's staff, Dave Smith, who had a bloodied face and a steward who suffered a bump to the back of his head.
"We received a call just after 10 O'Clock with a report of an assault on a male at York Minster.
"We were there within minutes and one male was arrested on suspicion of assault."
Heritage Lottery money pays for new Minster attraction
The new Undercroft at York Minster, which opens on Saturday 25 May, has been partly paid for by a £10.5m donation by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Spokesperson Fiona Spiers has been checking on progress as finishing touches are made and says the new space is much more inviting than what it replaces.
Dean of York describes new exhibition as a gift
The Dean of York says she hopes that visitors to the new Undercroft at York Minster will learn something about themselves from it. The Very Rev Vivienne Faull, was only appointed last year, says the complicated nature of the below ground chambers echo the complex history of the building.
New attraction tells 2000 year story of York Minster
The new Undercroft at York Minster tells the story of the building's 2000 year history from the days of the Romans to the present. The contemporary chambers which now fill the below-ground area use the space which dug out during emergency excavations in the 1970s to shore up the susbiding tower.
The team behind the new exhibition describe it as an immersive and interactive journey featuring artefacts never before on public display that will allow visitors to see, touch and hear the building's history.
The land upon which the cathedral now stands has been a centre, military, political, social and theological [for centuries], influencing not only regional but national history. For the first time, 'Revealing York Minster' brings together the archaeological discoveries and the written archives, dating back to the 7th Century. It will provide visitors with an insight into the evolution of the city and York Minster's central role within that, right up to the present day with a glimpse at the people who work being the scenes, making use of the very latest technology.
New undercroft opens at York Minster
York Minster exhibition
A new exhibition will show off the 2000 year history of one of our region's most famous buildings for the first time.
Finishing touches are being made to a series of a chambers underneath York Minster.
The displays show the archaeological remnants of buildings that used to stand on the site and use the latest technology to show how they have transformed into the famous building that stands there today.
Troops attend thanksgiving at York Minster
Troops who have just returned from Afghanistan have been attending a thanksgiving service at York Minster.
The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu and the Forces Minister Andrew Robathan MP joined hundreds of armed forces personnel who have recently returned home from service.
The 4th Mechanised Brigade lost nine soldiers during their six month tour of Helmand Province.

While Fools should generally take the opinion of Wall Street with a grain of salt, it's not a bad idea to take a closer look at particularly stock-shaking upgrades and downgrades -- just in case their reasoning behind the call makes sense.
What: Shares of Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS ) climbed 6% today after JPMorgan upgraded the 3-D printing technologist from neutral to overweight.
So what: Along with the upgrade, analyst Paul Coster reiterated his price target of $101.50, representing about 9% worth of upside to yesterday's close. The stock has slumped recently on management's public offering of nearly 5.2 million shares, but Coster thinks that it provides investors with a juicy entry point given Stratasys' strong position in the rapidly growing 3-D printing space.
Now what: JPMorgan said that Gartner's recent forecast of 3-D printer growth (95% CAGR over the next five years) suggests strong upside to its own outlook (20%-25% CAGR), and that Stratasys is in a particularly good spot to benefit. "Stratasys has achieved a sustainable competitive position in the early adoption phase of a massive, diversified market for 3D printing solutions and is a pure-play for investors seeking exposure to the manufacturing renaissance theme," noted the firm. Of course, with the stock up about 70% from its 52-week lows and trading at a forward P/E of 40, I'd wait for some of the enthusiasm to fade again before jumping in.
A Look Into the Future of 3-D Printing
If someone asked you, "Why invest in 3D Systems?" Could you truly answer them? To be honest, few investors could. That's because most of the company's secrets—the ones that make savvy market watchers rich—often fly below the radar.

Minutes before sentencing for last year's rape of an 11-year-old Kensington girl, Jose Carrasquillo told Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Ramy I. Djerassi he wanted to withdraw his guilty plea.
He was innocent, Carrasquillo, 27, told the judge Tuesday. In fact, he was the Antichrist, a revelation that came to him in 2002 in prison and that the CIA has tried to cover up. And immigration agents wanted to send him to China "to assassinate the president."
And he could prove it all, Carrasquillo added, if only officials would give him a "polyester-graph."
Djerassi wasn't buying. There would be no polyester-graph, polygraph, or lie detector. The guilty plea would stand, and Djerassi sentenced Carrasquillo to 30 to 66 years in prison for the June 1, 2009, rape of the 11-year-old and the attempted assault of a 16-year-old girl who escaped and whom Carrasquillo pursued into the cafeteria of Kensington High School before being scared off.

More Good News For Huckabee: James Robison Is Back In Business
For the last several months we've been noting the gradual re-emergence of James Robison, who was an influential leader back at the founding of the Religious Right but who eventually sort of fell off the radar.
But in the last year or so, he has suddenly become more and more involved in Religious Right activism and I guess nothing better demonstrates that fact like this article, via AU, reporting that a few months back Robison convened a large gathering of leaders to plot how to defeat President Obama in 2012:
Conservative Christian leaders from across the nation met two months ago near the Dallas airport to strategize about replacing President Barack Obama with someone who matches their agenda – a move that paralleled an effort by Christian leaders in 1979 to defeat then President Jimmy Carter.
About 40 conservative Christian leaders gathered in Dallas on Sept. 8-9 to begin laying the groundwork for a religious-political movement similar to the one that helped Ronald Reagan oust the Baptist Sunday school teacher from the Oval Office. Convened by evangelist James Robison – a key figure in the religious effort 30 years ago to promote Reagan's candidacy – the list of attendees included many of the most prominent Christian evangelists and ministers, including several Southern Baptist leaders.
Southern Baptist leaders attending the meeting included: Richard Land (president of the SBC's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission); Richard Lee (pastor and the editor of The American Patriot's Bible); John Meador (pastor of First Baptist Church of Euless, Texas); and Paige Patterson (president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary).
Others at the meeting included: Tony Evans (a megachurch pastor in Texas); Father Joseph Fessio (founder and editor of Ignatius Press); Craig Groeschel (pastor of LifeChurch.tv); Miles McPherson (a megachurch pastor in California who spoke at the 2008 Republican National Convention); Johnnie Moore (a vice president at Liberty University who defended the school's decisions to have Glenn Beck and Newt Gingrich as recent speakers); Tom Mullins (a megachurch pastor in Florida); Doug Napier (legal counsel at the Alliance Defense Fund); Dino Rizzo (a megachurch pastor in Louisiana); Dave Roever (an evangelist who prayed at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally); Mark Rutland (president of Oral Roberts University); David Stone (a megachurch pastor in Kentucky); and Stu Weber (a megachurch pastor in Oregon).
Several conservative Christian leaders highly active in politics attended the meeting, including: Stephen Broden (a pastor and Republican politician in Texas); Keith Butler (a pastor and Republican politician in Michigan); Maggie Gallagher (a conservative columnist who received tens of thousands of dollars for her work from the George W. Bush administration); Jim Garlow (chairman of Newt Gingrich's organization, Renewing American Leadership); Harry Jackson (pastor of Hope Christian Church in Washington, D.C.); Gene Mills (executive director of the Louisiana Family Forum); and Tony Perkins (president of the Family Research Council).
Some attendees have been guests on Glenn Beck's program on Fox News (including Broden, Garlow, Lee, McPherson, Mullins, Robison, Roever and Stone), and several were involved with his "Restoring Honor" rally (including Jackson, Land, Lee, Gallagher, Garlow and Roever).
Three of the attendees at the meeting have been under investigation since 2007 by Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, a Baptist from Iowa, for perhaps violating IRS tax-exempt rules. Those at the meeting included televangelists Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar and Joyce Meyer.
Other individuals helped plan the September meeting but were unable to attend. They included: Jerry Falwell Jr. (president of Liberty University); Jack Graham (a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention); O.S. Hawkins (head of the SBC's Guidestone Financial Resources); Jack Hayford (president of Foursquare International); and author Ravi Zacharias.
I should point out, also, that Robison's return can only be good news for Mike Huckabee, as Robison was his mentor back in the 1970s, leading Huckabee to drop out of seminary so he could go to work for Robison as his director of communications.
If Robison and crew are looking to replace Obama "with someone who matches their agenda," Huckabee seems like a perfect fit.

Another Harrison Home Invaded
Speaking of George Harrison, a woman allegedly found inside the former Beatle's Maui estate has pleaded innocent to burglary and theft charges. Cristin Keleher, 27, was arrested Dec. 23 after she allegedly entered the former Beatle's home through an open sliding glass door, cooked a frozen pizza, did her laundry and phoned her mother in New Jersey. (Harrison was not in Hawaii at the time. His sister-in-law, Linda Tuckfield, discovered Keleher at the residence and informed the caretaker, who called police.) Judge Shackley Raffetto on Tuesday ordered Keleher's bail to remain at $10,000 and set a pretrial conference for April 6. If convicted, she could face up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Fox is bringing a live-action version of Broadway musical (and film) Grease to the small screen sometime next year.
The move is, in all likelihood, motivated by NBC's success with their own live musical version of The Sound of Music, which – including DVR playback – tallied almost 22 million viewers last fall.
(Of course, as Entertainment Weekly points out, what is NBC's Smash if not an attempt to latch onto Fox's success with Glee, a show that arguably brought musicals into the zeitgeist in a big way? Time is a flat circle.)
Grease Live is slated to air sometime next year, probably on a Sunday (Fox only programs two hours a night on weeknights; the musical is set to run for three). Get your leather pants and/or letterman sweater ready.

The Work Husband: Harmless Fun or Something More?
Having a close ally at work can create a more productive work environment, increase job satisfaction and motivate you to spend more time at the office. This may explain why 65 per cent of professionals admit to having a work spouse, a non-competitive business companion with whom you share everything work related...and sometimes more.
The concept of a work spouse goes beyond having a friendly co-worker with similar interests. Chemistry is what separates your your work friends from the special connection you share with your work spouse. You click in a unique way with this person and feel comfortable expressing a range of emotions including some degree of vulnerability. You're attracted to them on several levels and though the appeal may not be sexual from the onset, many admit that it often develops into physical desire. Work spouses also give you an ego boost, a dose of excitement and a sense of being appreciated for who you are as opposed to what you do.
If you respect and share similar boundaries and are mindful not to blur personal and professional lines, sharing everything from coffees and gossip to lunch dates and relationship advice may be entirely harmless. Many professionals relish in their relationships with their work spouses and seem to maintain a healthy balance.
Amy*, a sales representative, is totally open about her relationship with her work husband Jeff*. Her real husband Simon* is on-board with their tight friendship and even jokes about her office marriage. "He actually appreciates that I have the extra support at the office," explains Amy. "And I think he's happy that I have someone to laugh with and get stressed out with at work. That way, I don't bring as much of the stress home."
Others, however, admit that their relationships with their work spouses have eventually crossed the line. Though the transgression may not be sexual, there are a few warning signs to look for that indicate that your work marriage may be causing more harm than good.

Brenda J. Council was a labor lawyer in North Omaha, Nebraska. She represented the 11th District in the Nebraska State Legislature from 2009 to 2013, serving as the successor of long-time state senator Ernie Chambers who was term-limited.[1] Council lost her re-election bid in 2012 to Chambers, who was able to run for the seat again after sitting out one term.
Political career[edit]
Council has served on the Omaha School Board and the Omaha City Council, and ran for mayor in 1994 and 1997, losing both elections by slim margins.[2] She was formerly western regional president of the National Caucus of Black School Board Members. She was featured three times in Ebony Magazine due to her prominence as an Omaha leader and she is a permanent roundtable member of the Omaha KETV television Sunday morning talk show, Kaleidoscope
In February 2008, Council filed to run for the seat in the Nebraska State Legislature being vacated by Senator Ernie Chambers, who had been a state senator for 38 years but was barred from seeking re-election due to a new term limits law. In November 2008, she was elected to the Nebraska Legislature. Council ran for re-election in 2012 but lost to Chambers, who was able to run for the legislature again after sitting out one four-year term.
Council was born in Omaha, attended Omaha Central High School and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (class of 1974). She received a law degree from Creighton University Law School in 1977. She is married to Otha Kenneth Council.[citation needed]
Council's work and leadership has garnered widespread attention. She has earned numerous awards and honors including the Urban League of Nebraska's National Prominence Award, selection as the Nebraska Outstanding Young Woman, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Teachers College Alumni Award of Excellence, the African American award of the Durham Western Heritage Museum and installation as the 62nd Face on the Floor of the Omaha Press Club.
Campaign fund violations[edit]
On September 12, 2012, Council agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges stemming from allegations that she misused campaign cash at casinos and filed false reports concealing that. She withdrew $63,000 at casinos over the last several years and deposited $36,000 in cash. In December, 2013 she was sentenced to probation and given a relatively modest fine of $500 for felony wire fraud.[3] She was subsequently charged in federal court with wire fraud and pleaded guilty, receiving a sentence of three years' probation along with fines and assesments of $600.[4]
On September 12, 2014, the Nebraska Supreme Court disbarred Council, based on misuse of campaign funds. A referee had recommended a one-year suspension followed by two years of probation, but the Court held that harsher discipline was called for. The Court noted that since the 1990s, it had disbarred all but two attorneys in cases of conversion. It found that those two cases were distinguishable from Council's case. In both of those cases, the attorney had self-reported the misconduct, a factor which was not present in Council's case. The high court held that the conversion of campaign funds is equally serious to converting client funds and warranted disbarment.[5]

A Florida woman is suing Disney for $15,000.
Stacey Holdorff of Valrico claims she was injured on a ride at the park earlier this year while visiting Orlando for her daughter's birthday.
Holdorff filed the suit Friday, saying she was trying to get off the Jungle Cruise in January when another boat hit the back of her boat, causing her to fall backward.
She said she had to be taken to a hospital and said that she can't work because of neck and spinal injuries.
"We will respond to the lawsuit as appropriate in court," said Walt Disney World Resort spokesman Bryan Malenius.

Pasco sheriff's Deputy David Rodriguez ran through the streets of Dade City Friday morning with about 15 other athletes who left several others far behind.
"Hey guys,'' he shouted, "let's go get them caught up.''
His runners turned around on Sixth Street and retraced a city block of the 2.5 miles they had just finished in the Torch Run for Special Olympics. They joined up with the others and together, they tore through a finish line banner while a crowd cheered.
Tony Wiggins, 20, and Andres Torres, 24, were the first through. Wiggins, of Dade City, said breaking the banner felt like good luck. The run, organized by the Pasco Sheriff's Office, was a send-off for the athletes headed to Orlando for the state-wide Special Olympics on May 17. Wiggins will be competing in soccer.
"These are kids that are just as excited about going to Orlando as somebody getting drafted (into pro sports),'' Rodriguez said.
The run started at Pasco High School at 9 a.m. and wound around the city to end at the Historic Courthouse.
About 100 people representing law enforcement agencies, high schools and Pasco Hernando Community College's police academy made their way through a light rain, many taking turns carrying an Olympic-style torch called "The Flame of Hope.''
Just as the runners hit the finish line, the sun burned through the clouds and the rain let up. Their clothes still damp, they huddled around Rodriguez on a sidewalk near the courthouse and cheered for the athletes going on to the state games.
Katelynn Miller, 19, of Holiday was one of the group. She's competing in bicycle racing and a 5K run in Orlando.
"I'm an athlete, and I like running and I like Special Olympics," she said. "That's why I wanted to come and run."

I'm more a Libertarian at heart than a Republican, but I vote Republican.
January 3, 2003, 10:37 PM
I don't like any politicians. I'm a classic liberal in most of my philosophy as well.
January 3, 2003, 10:42 PM
My guess is I'm libertarian on most issues; have voted over the years for Democrats, Socialist Worker's Party, Republican, Libertarian.
I wouldn't now really put myself in anyone's camp- I pick and choose what makes sense to me, and try to destroy (figuratively) those who stand in the way of "freedom with responsibility", and common sense.
January 3, 2003, 10:49 PM
I think pretty much the same as the Libertarian Party, but since they are not usually a factor in most elections I usually vote Republican. I sure wish we had some other choices.
I guess the best description for me would be a small L libertarian. Again, I don't agree with all of their platform, but quite a bit.
As Jefferson said, Government governs best, that governs least. Or words to that effect. That's where I'd like us to be.
January 3, 2003, 10:49 PM
Reistered Libertarian, But i voted mostly Republican.
I don't like any politicians. I think all 3 partys :cuss: :cuss: :cuss:
January 3, 2003, 11:03 PM
I don't belong to or support any party. I vote for the individual, not the organization. I have a few acid tests I apply to candidates for any office:
- Would I buy a used car from this person?
- Would I be happy to see my father/mother/brother/sister/son/daughter dating this person? Would I be happy to welcome them into my family?
- Does this person espouse and practise the same values as myself in areas that I consider important? Examples would include RKBA, abortion, size and role of government, etc.
If the answers to these questions are "No", then that person doesn't get my support.
There are, of course, times when none of the candidates measure up to these tests. Under such circumstances, I vote against the greater evil, rather than for the greater good, by voting for the least objectionable candidate. I don't think I ever have the right not to vote - if I've been given that responsibility, I need to exercise it, not let it atrophy.

January 3, 2003, 11:41 PM
I claim to be a staunch Conservative, that is to say that the less government interference in my daily life, the better.
For years I lived in a state that was mainly Democrat (Read that as liberal) so in many elections I did not vote for a local or State official on the basis of his party but as has been stated earlier, I voted for the lesser of 2 evils.
I am proud to say however that I never voted for a Democrat for president all the way back to JFK and I was a registered Democrat at the time MEA CULPA ( I have changed partys since)
My main criteria to gain my vote is the candidates stand on the Constitution special attn. to ammendment #2
January 3, 2003, 11:52 PM
Registered Conservative in NY State. Tried Republican but that is too liberal for me.;)
January 4, 2003, 12:07 AM
I'm a Libertarian, with strong rational anarchist tendencies. I don't like political parties, and usually freak out my freinds when I tell them that public office should be filled by conscription.
Knock on the door
"Mr/Mrs/Ms Doe?" -says neatly dressed individual
"Yes? Can I help you?"
"Consider yourself elected. You have 10 min to grab a tooth brush and say good bye. We'll wait in the car"
Jobs are held open during your term in office, room and board provided and pay is suffecent to service your personal debts.
Radical perhaps, but its got to be a darn sight better than the snail-oil salesman we have now (Hon. Rep Paul excepted)
January 4, 2003, 12:08 AM
Depending on how idealistic or grouchy I am on a given day, I oscillate between being a market anarchist and a small "l" libertarian.
January 4, 2003, 12:11 AM
Conservative/Republican here, but (in order to reach the masses of New Jersey before the next elections) is there credibility to the arguement that the right to chose to carry a concealed weapon is actually somewhat of a liberal concept if you really think about it?
January 4, 2003, 01:14 AM
I'm not a member of any organized political party. Or disorganized, for that matter.
January 4, 2003, 01:14 AM
I consider myself to be a reasonable centrist with Bakuninist tendencies and occassional right leaning Trotskyite thoughts allthough I am a registered Republican.
I live in Alaska...I can think anyway I want without anyone caring very much...so can anyone else..
January 4, 2003, 01:26 AM
Interesting fellow, Leon Trotsky. Too bad Lenin left a power vacuum when he died. He reached out many times to Trotsky and was rebuffed. The result was Stalin.
A strict Constitutionalist, myself, but not a member of the Constitution Party nor the Liberterian Party. Not registered Dem or Rep, I dislike them equally. Part Free Silver, part Free Soil, part Populist, part Federalist, maybe part Menshevik ala Trotsky? Hell, part Narodnik, too. Anything but the status quo. Appreciate the liberal thoughts of Thomas Jefferson.Would make a lousy delegate to a national political convention.

January 4, 2003, 02:20 AM
I lean heavily towards Rational Anarchist, however, I do vote, on the basis that while it may be useless, it's still nessecarry to follow the steps. the cartridge box may be the 4th box of freedom, but that doesn't mean we should be eager to use it
January 4, 2003, 02:48 AM
Unlike most here, I am what they call an old-school liberal libertarian.
Pro-choice, pro-1st amendment (particularly in regards to speech and religion), pro-environment (and anti-development), very pro 4th amendment, I love the diversity of the inner city, and I think anyone should be able to have and carry any gun they see fit.
You would be surprised at how many liberals are for gun ownership, its just that the anti-gun types have framed the argument in their way for too long. But that is coming around I think as the data piles up.
January 4, 2003, 02:52 AM
Myself, I dunno. My father is a lifelong liberal democrat, but even he's becoming disenfranchised with that party. I looked on both of their websites, and their actual platforms are exactly the same. "Don't vote for (other Party) because they are bad". I think part of the problem being that they too often don't have personal beliefs because they have to fall along party lines. Politically, I"m probably a libertarian with some liberal leanings. It's funny, but it's not liberal ideas that have chased me away from the democratic party; it's the Democrats.
January 4, 2003, 03:51 AM
Although a registered republican, & one who works within their ranks to hopefully turn their tide, I am a rational anarchist.
Why, oh why! would anyone need a roadsign to tell them to:
"Resume Safe Speed"?
That, alone, spells out the looming disaster enough for me.
If one cannot grasp that basic law of survival, one doesn't really deserve to live.
Sorry. I didn't make Thesel Rules ...
political affiliations notwithstanding.
January 4, 2003, 04:01 AM
I pretty much think Libertarian, but I have a tendancy to be really hawkish, especially when it comes to non-democratic governments possessing weapons of mass destruction.
That viewpoint of mine may change as well as it seems that it is ever increasingly impossible to prevent dictatorships from owning WOMD.
And I'm a HUGE fan of Thomas Jefferson.
A brilliant man, but he was able to change and challenge his very own deepest beliefs on a whim.
That's one of the reasons why he was so brilliant.

Check out the Constitution Party
Yeah, but the death penalty for drug use?
Constitution party? Death for drug users? Wher, oh where does the Constitution of the US even suggest anything like this?
January 4, 2003, 05:30 AM
Interesting fellow, Leon Trotsky. Too bad Lenin left a power vacuum when he died. He reached out many times to Trotsky and was rebuffed. The result was Stalin.
All three of these guys were the same and all very ruthless with other peoples lives. None of them warrant any respect. Stalin was planning his inheritance long before Lenin died. Lenin created the "dictatorship of the proletarit" and the Cheka. Trotsky and Stalin were both right up there in supporting the arrest, torture, execution and starvation of the citizens. Nothing mattered except staying in power. It was Trotsky's own ego and hunger for power that allowed Stalin to become dictator.
If you believe that the USSR would have succeeded if there had been no Stalin and Trotsky inheriting Lenin's rule, you are greatly mistaken. I would suggest reading The Soviet Tragedy: A History of Socialism in Russia, 1917-1991 by Martin Malia.
January 4, 2003, 05:47 AM
Hmmm....... How about: "Anarbertarian"
I think I'll use that from now on.
:banghead: Just put this here cuz I like the toon. Reminds me of trying to talk sense to a "Republican".

January 4, 2003, 10:13 AM
Strict Constitutionalist. Vote Republican because there's no other choice. Occasional Anarchist leanings though, I'll admit. Any government beyond the most basic and weakest is too much government.
I note I have yet to see a self-described Leftist without qualification among this thread...
January 4, 2003, 10:26 AM
Registered to vote the moment I came of age and have voted every time since. Registered Independent and have voted Democrat and Republican -- and not ashamed to say it. Depends on who will give me work and loosen the gun laws. Voted for Mitt Romney for governor as he was for abolishing bilingual eduation which would make job openings for those teachers of English to teach English WITH ENGLISH instead of being at the mercy of bilingual educators who apply and steal our jobs. Unfortunately, he was for banning "assault rifles" as was Democrat Shannon O'Brien. Couldn't win really so I had to go with the job option. I'd LOVE to vote for John McCain if he chooses to run for the Presidency again...:D

I belong to no political party, considering them all a bunch of influence-peddling associations.
My politics would be considered liberal or libertarian by most folks. I'm a feminist, pro gay rights, pro reproductive rights, anti death penalty, favor legalization of drugs.
January 4, 2003, 10:47 AM
You know, it always ticks me off the way gun forums sh:cuss: all over people from Massachusetts and group us in one lump sum. I've voted Democrat myself enough to be called one from my parents. Just because you belong to one party or another doesn't mean you believe the way they do all the time. I don't, which is why I chose to be an Independent. However, unlike most people on gun forums, I don't assume folks that are Democrats are all ass:cuss: out to ban guns, just as I don't assume all Republicans are out for the common good. Not only did Jane Swift make my chances of finding work harder, she also made life more difficult for those just barely getting by. There was a picture of her over the holiday ringing a bell for the Salvation Army. A little ironic I thought since it was probably her that brought them so many new customers...:what: Good for you Ghostshooter, gun lovers shouldn't be ashamed of the party they belong to or how they vote. If you own a firearm, you'll probably vote for the best candidate to protect your rights as a gun owner.:D

January 4, 2003, 11:35 AM
I'm another mix of small-L libertarian and constitutionalist. I want much less government, especially on the federal level. When you reduce taxes you reduce the government's power.
The problem is voting Lib or other third party knowing that you're taking your vote away from a Repub (or sometimes Dem) who is more pro-gun than his opponent.
4v50 Gary
January 4, 2003, 11:45 AM
I'm actually registered that way. Sounds better than Birthday. I generally vote Liberterian or Republican. The only way I'll vote democrat is if I want the weaker of the two to win (divide et impera) so that when there's a run-off against a Republican, it makes the Republican's task easier.
Gary H
January 4, 2003, 12:16 PM
I've been a Libertarian for years, but recently registered Republican.
I think that some pro-gun Democrats are more John Kennedy Democrats. The reason that many conservatives have problems with gun owning Democrats is the total lack of honesty in the present day Democratic Party. We view active gun owners as a more honest sort. The present Republican Party is in closer agreement with Kennedy (not "I can't swim" Kennedy) than the Democrats. Race bating, class warfare, scaring the elderly, mindless anti-big-business and environmentalism based on pseudo-science have tainted the party. Also, the "if you are for it then I'm against it" approach to issues is getting old. I was a registered Democrat for many years (youth), but the party no longer has moral values. Perhaps I judge based on the leadership. Maybe the new leadership will differ and bye bye Dashle & Jackson Democrats. How about that Al Sharpton. Isn't he the cat's meow. I just might have to become a Democrat again. Have much criticism for the Republicans, but not as biting.
January 4, 2003, 12:23 PM
When I have shreds of my faith in humanity intact, I'm a mutual-aid anarchist (Kropotkinesque). The rest of the time, I'm just a curmudgeon.
January 4, 2003, 02:12 PM
I find it hard to believe anyone could use the term "pro-gun liberal" or "pro-gun democrat".
January 4, 2003, 02:37 PM
Anarcho-capitalist here living as a rational anarchist.
Politicians and government are unnecessary evils.
January 4, 2003, 02:55 PM
I'm a small l libertarian , but I vote republican unless the candidate is so bad that I cannot stomach doing so .
January 4, 2003, 03:31 PM
I find it hard to believe anyone could use the term "pro-gun liberal" or "pro-gun democrat".
Nonetheless, they exist. For example, I know a lot of Republicans that are pro-choice. Some people can think for themselves.

I dont affiliate w/ any party if I can help it, but lately I've voted Progressive whenever they run a candidate. Their main plank is campaign finance reform w/ I beleive is the root of all evil in our government. It really pisses me off how many people on this forum support republicans because they are perceived as "pro -gun" even while the BUSH PARTY (face it, he is the republican party now) rips the Bill of Rights to shreds and pushes an obviously bought and paid for agenda.

Here in NV, I'm a registered Non-Partisan, so I get to vote for the Best candidate I can find.
It's getting harder and harder to find one.
I like the "None of the Above" candidate. He often is a consideration when standing in the voting booth.
Brought up in a blue-collar Union type family, moved away from home and started ... thinking... it was soooo strange. Little voices in my head would say..."Must vote Demo ticket. Must vote Dem"...
But as my Grandpappy told me, "Baba Louie, the more a man has to conserve, the more conservative that man becomes."
Which shows why we're in the state of affairs we're in today.
Darned few have a whole lot to conserve, more have nothing and want everything to come from those who have it.
There it is.
The Haves. (Some of whom actually deserve what they worked for)
The Have-Nots. (But want it anyway)
And what is Liberty anyway, nowadays? Being left alone to go shooting in the desert suits me to a Tee.

Unfortunately, "Campaign Finance Reform" is a title and does not mean that the actual intent is true reform. Usually, these bills favor the side with the greatest power at the time. If you want to reform politics, do not allow politicians to run. Take the money completely out of the mix.
Thank God that we don't have the Gore party in power at this time.
Civil liberties have always suffered during a time of war. Perhaps Bush, in his quest for Middle Eastern oil and after masterminding 9-11 with the Israelis has devised all of this to narrow our freedom and expand the power of government over the people. I don't see it that way and neither do you. Your message of vigilance is a good one. Every government seeks more power, which means that we have less freedom. This happens with every new law. I guess that Bush has been bought and the Democrats have refused the money from trial lawyers and unions. Just who has bought Bush? I know I haven't. He has made me mad on a number of occasions..ie tariffs and immigration policy. I'm not a religious right sort of person, so I'm not in line there. Who bought Bush? Was it the Chinese again. After all, we have record of them buying Clinton and with good result. I'm fifty-fifty on Bush, but I don't think that he has been bought.

I think it's very crediable for people to be liberal Democrats and STILL be pro-gun. What's not so hard to believe is how many NRA card carrying Republicans exist that feel their beliefs are 100% correct, no matter who they have to step on or put down to prove it.
I'm sure somewhere out there is an anti-gun, pro-choice, compassionate for struggling low income America, screw the all ready too rich corporate America type of Republican! :D

Nonetheless, they exist. For example, I know a lot of Republicans that are pro-choice. Some people can think for themselves.
And this is the way we must fight for our gun rights, open ourselves to all rather than hurling invective at those who do not share our views.

If you believe that the USSR would have succeeded if there had been no Stalin and Trotsky
I don't think that for a minute. We're talking the founder of the Red Army (Trotsky), after all. Trotsky is a fascinating individual, even though his theory on international revolution was flawed. I do think history would have been written differently, but written better...? Less pogroms? I'm not saying that. The Narodniks may have had a more sympathetic ear in Trotsky, though.

As stated elsewhere, green, civil-libertarian, market social democrat. that's my practical answer for big-scale politics. On the small-scale, I could probably be described as an anarcho-syndacalist. I live in a community (http://wheel.dcn.davis.ca.us/go/nstreet/homepage.html) that features individual choice within households but makes community decisions by consensus.
Breaking it down:
green - small "g" mostly, though I am regisgtered in the Green Party. I don't really get along with the local Greens and disagree with the party platform in the last election re 2nd amendment. Also the party has been hijacked by doctrinaire Leftists. I'm really more of an Ed Abbey redneck environmentalist. I put the word in the label because, for me, the environent is the bottom line. All of the ideologies sound pretty stupid when you're talking about survival of our or other species and the ability of the planet to provide sustainable resources. Left and Right both view the Earth as an inert commodity to exploit for human gratification, instead of as a life-support system. Their main argument is over which is more effective in delivering the goods and to whom. When I get down to the "lesser of evils" stage, this is what decides my vote. Thus, if Nader hadn't been on the ballot last time around, I'd have voted for Gore. In fact, if I had it to do over, I'd move to Florida and vote for Gore.
Also belonging under "green", I'm very anti-war. I'm not 100% pacifist, obviously, but believe war should be used only as a last resort in dire extremity. I'm against the large standing military we have and the militarization of our culture. I favor a citizen militia made up of millions of households with a good rifle or shotgun behind the door.
civil-libertarian - Again, small "l". I'm mostly with libertarians on the issues of individual freedom, but don't see corporations or big businesses as deserving of those rights. I also think the people, through due political processes, have a right to regulate activities by anyone that damages the common good. I would be very restrained in exercising that power, but think there are plenty of cases where "pretty please" and lawsuits would never do the trick.
market - I believe in relatively free markets for delivering consumer goods.
social democrat - Small "s" and "d". I basically favor a mixed economy.
This year, I did vote for a Republican, one of the first I ever voted for. I'd probably vote for Ron Paul, though I doubt if we agree on the environment.

Anybody who claims he can see any real difference between the Democrats and Republicans should strongly favor legalization of all narcotics, as he is already doing some very potent stuff.

On many issues, I'm not typical.
Environmentalism: I'm a strict believer in private property rights. Though I do not support state control of the "environment", I believe that if the stuff you're dumping devalues my property and pollutes it, you deserve to get sued, and if neccesary, stopped from doing so, in civil court.
Gun Control: Non starter. Vermont style carry across the nation, limited laws on the state level.
Abortion: If we didn't have so many idiots out there who think saran wrap is a proper condom, this wouldn't be as much of a problem as it is. :rolleyes: That being said, it's hard to have an opinion in terms of personal feeling when my only method of reproduction available to me would have to be surrogacy (which is fully legal in Oregon, btw).
Establishment Clause: Though many would disagree with me, the issue of the posting of the ten commandments in schools, in courthouses, the "Under god" controversy that occured last year. Both sides of the issue is pretty extreme and have done much to damage many's way of life. Students are being told that they can't even possess a bible on school grounds in certain areas of the country, and so on, is unacceptable. The other extreme given is that "America is a christian nation and therefor deserves an exception to the establishment clause", which is also unacceptable.
Gay rights: See the sig.
I ain't no Republican conservative, and I sure as hell ain't no Democrat socialist liberal, either.

I don't really know where I fit. For example, I'm neither homosexual nor do I take any illegal drugs, in fact, I think homosexuality is immoral and disgusting (an exemption being a pack of Norwegian lesbians who feed me grapes and teach me to sing) and I also think the same of drug abuse and misuse, but I don't advocate the infringement of any adult's right to partake in such activities.
I might think that something is wrong, in that respect I'm conservative, but I'm an an ardent libertarian concerning the legality of that activity.

January 5, 2003, 03:32 AM
Still a conservative Democrat, and I'll probably stay with that for a little while longer. I thought about changing but couldn't figure out what to change to. I have just as many problems with the Republican and Libertarian parties as I do the Democratic party so if I change I'll be just as much a misfit. If I change to "independent" I would no longer be able to vote in any primaries. Once someone on TFL said I should become a member of the Constitutional party but looking at much of their platform makes me shudder. So unless I move to a state that allows independents to vote in one of the primaries or I become more Libertarian or Republican I'll remain a conservative Democrat on paper and independent in reality.

January 5, 2003, 09:49 AM
Where are you?
As for the unfairness of labeling Dems anti-gun, it didn't come out of thin air and wasn't invented by the Repubs. Their track record speaks for itself, and though 'conservative' and 'pro-gun' Dems exist ( vide Zell Miller, God bless him), they are very much the exception which proves the rule. It takes a willful denial of reality to claim that the anti-gun reputation of the Dems is a Repub fabrication.
That's not to deny that there are plenty of anti-gun, socialistic, pro-abortion Repubs. They're called RINOs.
Your party affiliation is your call, your right, and none of my business. Just don't try to tell me that Chuck Schumer, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and Diane Feinstein don't represent the Dems.
That said, I come here to talk guns and gun rights with like-minded friends of whatever other political views, and I'd hate to see another political pi**ing contest. Let's talk about shooting.

I like the sound of "minarchist", but I'll probably find that someone has defined that too specificly as well.

It really depends upon which day you ask me, whether I believe government is a necessary evil, or just an evil.
After this last election I decided I would never again throw away my vote on a Republican.
The two major political parties can be summed up this way: There are two parties, one is the Stupid Party and the other is the Evil Party. Occasionally these two parties create legislation that is both stupid and evil. This is called bi-partisianship. -- Andrew Grooms

In the regulation of any of the so called vices.
In madating quotas, minimums or set asides in job availabilty.
In taxing people for services they don't use.
In the general redistribution of wealth.
In establishing and enforcing laws not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
The business of government is to treat with other nations and to defend our borders from those who wish to enter illegally and/or do us harm.

Somewhere between Libertarian For Life (http://l4l.org) and Constitution Party (http://www.constitutionparty.com/) for me.
For me, "reproductive choice" is about choosing whether or not to fertilize, not whether or not to kill an innocent human being. In the sad case of rape, the unborn child is still innocent. If the mother's life in endangered, of course, she may choose to defend herself by killing her unborn child.
Speaking as a former "unwanted child."
January 8, 2003, 12:32 PM
I claim to be a staunch Conservative, that is to say that the less government interference in my daily life, the better.
Exactly. I'm pro-Bill of Rights and pro-do what you like as long as it doesn't harm anyone. I'm also pro-free market capitalism, so that makes me a "right-winger", but I'm certainly not a Republican sheep, and I really dislike a lot of the anti-gay, racist stances of the Religious Right.
As others above have said, I agree with Libertarian/Constitution ideals but I vote Republican so my vote counts. I donate and work for candidates I like but I won't give $$$ to the Republican Party.
The federal government exists to protect us from the British (or whoever else wants to invade our shores), enforce the Bill of Rights and to establish contract law so we can have business dealings between states. Contract law should include environmentalism to the point that if you pollute and ruin my property/air/water, you will pay. NOT environmentalism that allows the EPA and a bunch of lawyers to trample all over the Constitution.
Rant Mode Engaged:
Just in this thread, we've come up with Libertarian, Constitution, America First, Rational Anarchist, Independent, Progressive, Kropotkinesque, etc. that match my views to some degree. The problem is, the Democrats have created a "big tent" with party platforms that appeal to a lot of folks. Do you ever notice that Democrats never really do anything to solve problems once they are in office? All they do is spend money and stomp on the Bill of Rights to get re-elected. Now they are even pulling back from gun control because it "doesn't play", not because they believe in the Constitution. Nancy Pelosi's stated goal as minority leader is to become majority leader – meaning gain and retain power using whatever means necessary. If they actually DID something (reduce poverty, reduce crime, etc.), we wouldn't need them anymore – and they would necessarily pi** off someone in their "big tent". The parties mentioned above will never get big because they actually believe in something more than "give me your tax money". To make their tent bigger, they would have to compromise their strong beliefs. The Republican Party with all its faults is our only hope at a big tent, and our only hope against the Dems. The Republicans aren't the entire answer by a long shot, but at least once in a while they actually do something to protect our shores, shrink government programs and reduce taxes.
Rant Mode Disengaged (but still locked and loaded -- sheesh, I sure have diarrhea of the keyboard lately).
I'll stick with Republican candidates. I'll even try to change the party, but I'll certainly support a viable alternative. Don't see one yet though.
BTW - Does anyone know the Bull Moose Party's stance on Norwegian Lesbians? :evil:

If you vote for a Dem out there and in other States like MA, NJ MD, you obviouly don't care about gun rights.

Glad to see you made it over. I was afraid you bagged it after TFL went down. Now in your State of Vermont, you have 1 Dem Senator, One Independent (Dem) Senator and an admitted socialist (Bernie Sanders) for a US Rep. Apparently, the Dems elected to State Government are quite enlightened there since you have almost no gun restrictions. That amazes me. Please, tell your friends to quit sending those anti-gun Senators and old Bernie to Washington! Please?

I'm a registered non-partisan. Can't handle the full bill of goods from any party. Republicans would sell their mother for the right price, the Democrats want society to carry the cross of the transgressions of the few.
I pick the pieces of each that agree with my personal pholosophy of practicing courtesy, consideration and responsibility for my own actions.
One of our friends is a knee jerk screaming liberal and sent a rant article about the new head of the FDA. Don't know for sure whether she was complaining about his not wanting to give contraceptives to unwed women or his advice that women should get throgh their problems with prayer.
If the former, my immediate reaction was that the trollops should keep their panties on and tell their boyfriends to pound sand rather than ask me to pay for their sexual adventures. If the latter, I would be against forcing religion on others.
On the other hand I think the argument against stem cell research is self serving bu!!$X!t.
And then on the third hand again firearms are a personal responsibility and everyone needs to back off.
Hmmm... Wonder if I've offended enough people yet.

Post Time: 12:50
1 - MADAME SUBLIME came from far back to finish third beating four of this same field, including probable pacesetter SHE REALLY DIGS ME and MAGGIE'S MAGIC, who gets Lasix for this dash. The trio is dropping down from maiden special weight event into claimer.
2 - INDY'S FORUM also just defeated four of this same group and was claimed by Scott Lake, who usually moves new acquisitions but has been in a rare slump at this meeting. Trujillo can sweep chalky early double. SMOKIN GIRL nipped top choice by a nose two races back at 20-1 in only prior effort at the Shore oval. RED HOT BABY hung when lowered to this level behind top choice, however, barn has been hot. Offers value.
3 - ERIS, the lone 4-year-old in the field, needed a race after being idle since March at Gulfstream. Picks up Bravo. Bred for $12,500, sold at auction for $300,000 three years ago. Interesting. SPOLETO make debut for McLaughlin (21% winners) with pedigree for speed and off-track if that occurs. STARLIGHT TIARA has been freshened since hitting a traffic jam in turf try at Belmont.
4 - SIMPLE WORDS (BEST BET) smoked field by 9 3/4 with lofty figures upon arriving at Monmouth for Asmussen. Tough to beat, but West Coast shipper NICOLE H will try if she can handle switch from artificial track to Shore sand. CRIMSON GLORY can beat top choice to the lead. Tries to hold on.
5 - MR. SIZZLING thwarted three of this same bunch rallying between horses and picks up a strong turf rider in Cora. BERNIE'S SURPRISE made big surge from Post 11, but fell behind top choice at the wire. TINKER HILL has nice pedigree for lawn, better post than top pair and Bravo for debut.
6 - MAGICAL MYTH/PANTS ON FIRE entry have been posting lightning-like works for Breen. Bravo is named on both so one will scratch. TAPIZAR has been turning in steady works in for Asmussen and his sire, Tapit, has been sending out winners recently. DISTORTED APPEAL was bumped around in debut at Saratoga. Benefits from racing experience.
7 - MORNINGSIDEHEIGHTS has right setup to come off pace; reverses loss to KELLY'S PIC, who is stranded in Post 12. MYWIFENOSEVERYTHING beat top selection in latest with four-wide surge. Box the trio. Key them in 10 cent superfectas.
8 - GOOMBADA GUSKA romped at 7-5 when stretched back out to a mile. Beat dead-closer IRISH EDDIE K three races back, who loses Trujillo to CAUSE I CAN but picks up Coa. Puzzler.
9 - ISTISHARRY, a $1,000,000 purchase by Shadwell, may have found a home sprinting on grass with consecutive victories, but gaps in schedule leave some questions. MANECKE has been in the exacta in 15-of-33 grass dashes although usually against weaker at Arlington and Tampa. Picks up strong-riding Rose. HATFIELD runs well fresh. Plunges in class and attracts Bravo. Has been idle since Feb.
10 - LADY ALEXANDER's last was impressive bursting out of the pack in the stretch to win with ease. Owns 5-for-7 record at Monmouth. DOUBLE ESPRESSO adds blinkers after prepping on Polytrack. Has faced better. JEHAN won speed duel in first race after arriving from Texas and West Coast. Drilling quickly. Will offer better odds than most with Bravo aboard.
11 - UNWRITTEN should have this field at his mercy with all the speed and class edge. ROUGH ROAD AHEAD could rally if speed duel dares to unfold vs. top choice. TRIPLE E lands part.
12 - ONWINGSANDAPRAYER gets rider change to Serpa after losing by a neck, but beating two of this same group for Jason Servis, who wins 35% of time off short layoffs. Key with ONE PROUD CAT, JAZZY JENNA and SOLID LUNAR.

5 Reasons True Crime TV Shows Are a How-To Guide for Murder
#2. Lie Detector Tests Are Worthless
Dima Korotayev/Getty Images News/Getty Images
The results of a lie detector test are not admissible in court, and everyone knows it. Do you know why, though? Well, for one thing, they're notoriously easy to beat, and just as notorious for producing false leads. The problem is that polygraph machines check for changes in things like blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature. These bodily functions can be controlled and manipulated by doing nothing more than constricting your sphincter muscle or thinking "exciting" thoughts.
Even when the potential liar being tested isn't cognizant of the many tricks and tactics they have at their disposal in a fight against the truth, there's still plenty of reason to not trust the results of a polygraph test. See, when a person fails a polygraph test during the course of a murder investigation, it's often the result of a weirdly worded question, as opposed to any actual wrongdoing. Instead of coming right out and asking, "Did you kill your wife?" or something along those lines, they'll ask, "Do you feel responsibility for your wife's death?"
Your instinctive answer is most likely going to be "no" if you truly are innocent (or even if you're not). But let's say your wife went for a walk and never came back, and immediately prior to that, you asked her if she wanted a ride and she insisted that she did not. You'd probably feel kind of responsible for her death for not talking her into taking that ride, right?

Sure you would, and that's exactly what the authorities are hoping for, because by the time they're strapping you to a machine to determine the veracity of your story, they already think you're guilty. Fooling you into failing with deceptive wording isn't going to get you convicted, but it definitely gives the police just cause to continue investigating you as the prime suspect.
That's why, if you do ever find yourself facing down the business end of a police interrogation, regardless of your guilt or innocence, your best course of action is to ...
#1. Say Nothing

Fuck it -- if someone close to you is murdered, get a lawyer immediately. Whether you're truly guilty or not is beside the point. Once the authorities have you inside an interrogation room, they have one goal in mind, and that is to get you to confess to murder. In their eyes, an innocent person would not admit to a crime they did not commit, no matter how harsh of a turn the questioning may take. There are countless stories of innocent men and women, often under the age of legal consent or otherwise not mentally competent to handle a situation of that nature, who have taken the fall for things they didn't do, just to make the interrogation end.
Meanwhile, it's just as difficult to put an exact number on how many times I've watched a true crime show where the real killers, no matter how often they're interrogated, never say a word. As a result, they usually go years or even decades without paying for their crime. They don't confess to the police, they don't tell their friends, they just get away with murder for a lot of fucking years.

Fashion is his only crime now.
We all know that wealthy people find that the justice system breaks in their favor on a shockingly regular basis. Hell, we couldn't even convict Robert Blake (you know him as Beretta, kids) of shooting his wife, and his alibi was that he was walking back to the bar to retrieve a gun he'd left there at the time of the murder. Of course, he could afford to say not much else and let a lawyer do the rest of the talking. So, no matter how stupid his excuse might have been, without physical evidence or a confession, police are going to have a tough time convicting anyone for any crime. Sure, some of the effectiveness of that strategy is going to be dependent upon the skill of your lawyer, but if we're talking about the difference between you saying something the law interprets as suspicious and you saying absolutely nothing to get yourself in hotter water than you deserve to be, having anyone with even a basic understanding of the law on hand to remind you to shut the fuck up should be all you need.

At least she's nice about it.
Ah, but immediately lawyering up makes you look guilty, right? Maybe, but during the course of a murder investigation, especially one involving someone close to you, the list of things that might cause suspicion to be cast in your direction is an extremely long one. Anything from being seen arguing in public to simply having a respectably sized life insurance policy is usually enough to do the trick, and once the law makes that kind of connection, their focus on you will be intense, even if they're traveling down a completely incorrect path.
A great example is the case of Michael Morton. He was convicted of killing his wife in 1986 and spent 25 years in prison for the crime. He claimed he was at work and that an intruder must have been responsible. Not only did police refuse to believe Morton's story, but they actually withheld evidence that likely would have exonerated him. According to their theory, he killed his wife after she refused to have sex with him on his birthday.

A brutal crime waiting to happen.
In addition to the "at work" alibi, the couple's 3-year-old son witnessed the attack and said his father was definitely not present. There was also a bloody bandanna found near the scene that was never entered into evidence during the trial. When someone finally bothered testing it, they found DNA belonging to both Morton's wife and ... convicted killer Mark Norwood. He killed a second woman, Debra Baker, in almost the exact same way, two years after committing the crime that eventually led to Michael Morton wrongly serving a quarter of a century in prison.
Don't be Michael Morton. If someone you love is murdered, get a lawyer, stat. Unless you're guilty, of course. In that case just confess already before one of us takes the fall for your shenanigans.
