But you don't like ECB? Why not? What's wrong with ECB? She's cool, and totally not Annie Wagner, who is all kinds of not cool.

DUH! That fact alone exposes the "pro-life" movement for what it is. They aren't interested in reducing abortions, otherwise they would be all over birth control. They are pro-scarlet leter, anti-woman, anti-sex.

Because really, who hasn't lost their appetite after reading these stories...?

Furthermore, while right now it seems that growing corn produces as much CO2 as burning oil anyway, that could change with improved technology.

Besides, the guy got 10-20 years in jail for lesser charges anyway. Since when have you ever been inclined to pay attention to pesky details - e.g. what a defendant was actually charged with?

If it weren't for the heavy hand of corporate America (not to mention Iowa's disproportionately important role in electoral politics), corn-based ethanol would not be taken seriously for a minute.

That article was about 14 pages long. If you read it, you'll see that the jury only convicted the guy begrudgingly, for a rape committed against a woman who was ill and confined to her bed. According at least one of the jurors, the bitch was asking for it.

Oh, nevermind, I thought ECB linked to a longer article about it, the one I read yesterday. But, in that longer article, there were long-winded explanations for why the jury acquitted on most counts. The guy was charged with raping ten women and was only convicted on lesser charges for one rape. Even though Marsalis is pretty much a congenital liar, two juries took his word over the word of ten women.

how has this title gone unnoticed?

Here you go.

I am (sort of) happy that the guy got the maximum sentence. At least the judge was paying attention.
