Quicksand gags aren't funny. i actually know a guy sinking in quicksand

the funny errors were the only good thing about it

Israel rejects the Israeli proposal after intense negotiations with Israel

doing the clockwork orange forced viewing behavior modification scene to every single democratic staffer and consultant and the screen just keeps flashing “appearing savvy to political reporters is not an important goal and does not help you win elections”

a physician who says the law does not allow abortion under those circumstances may well be wrong in their legal assessment, but a physician who says there is an unacceptable risk that a prosecutor and jury would not agree with their judgment that those circumstances exist is almost certainly right

people keep saying this "all 34 counts" thing but was it ever really logically possible to convict him on some but not all of the counts. aren't they all the same misrepresentation on different documents
