All these resurrections of old TV shows confirms the dearth of creativity in the TV industry.

Overpants or underpants? Or both?

French Report Finds 330,000 Children Were Victims Of Church Sex Abuse PARIS (AP) — An estimated 330,000 children were victims of sex abuse within France’s Catholic Church over the past 70 years, according to a major report released Thursday that is France’s first major reckoning with the devastating phenomenon. The figure includes abuses committed by some 3,000 priests and other people involved in the church — wrongdoing that Catholic authorities covered up over decades in a “systemic manner,” according to the president of the commission that issued the report, Jean-Marc Sauvé. The head of the French bishops conference asked forgiveness from the victims. The group is meeting Tuesday to discuss next steps. The commission urged the church to take strong action, denouncing “faults” and “silence.” It also called on the French state to help compensate the victims, notably in cases that are too old to prosecute via the courts. About 80% of the victims were boys.

Bad Odor there.

Ain't no "could be" about it. Assassinating the leader who fails to deliver a majority is a Tory tradition. I'm just surprised that it took so long to come to this.

With that kind of brilliant logic, we ought to do away with DWI laws, and allow people to make their own decisions and not mandate sober driving.

FBI raids Long Island home of NYPD sergeants’ union head Ed Mullins and Manhattan headquarters Federal investigators descended Tuesday on the Long Island home of controversial Sergeants Benevolent Association president Ed Mullins in a sweep that also targeted the NYPD union’s Lower Manhattan headquarters. A parade of FBI agents, clutching boxes and a black garbage bag, emerged from the SBA offices and loaded their cargo into a waiting minivan before heading off. One of the boxes appeared to hold a hard drive, and another was filled with what looked like electronics equipment removed hours after the stunning news of the probe became public. While the details of the investigation remained under wraps, an FBI spokeswoman confirmed to The News that the agency was “carrying out a law enforcement action in connection with an ongoing investigation” into the SBA shortly after the coordinated seizures began. “Ed Mullins, who famously called me a ‘first-class *****’ for daring to ask questions about the SBA, just got a first-class raid from the FBI,” tweeted Rep. Ritchie Torres as word of the investigation spread. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York declined to comment as to the purpose of the raids or its target.

Not necessarily. problems come in many different forms and many are as problematic as alcohol dependency/abuse or worse. A lot worse.

A succinct reply.

But would I be able to sit through the whole movie without having to pee? Depends.

Orange you glad that we have Oleary as a backup?

The length of the suspension will depend on whether this was an isolated incident of poor judgement or a symptom of a larger, endemic problem.

Maybe Manitobans need to be reminded of what a PC party will do when not constrained by logic or compassion.

Apparently the longest Bond film of all- about 2 1/2 hours.

Far-right commentator who contracted COVID threatens Dr. Fauci: 'Give me liberty or I give you death' Far right extremist commentator Josh Bernstein, an anti-vaxxer who recently contracted COVID after threatening a "lead injection" for anyone who tried to vaccinate him, appears to have issued an obscenity-laden death threat against Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Chief Medical Advisor to the President. "Let me tell you something you sick twisted garden gnome," Bernstein says in the video below which was posted by the watchdog group by Right Wing Watch. "Okay? Our rights don't come from you. They don't come from the NIH, they don't come from the Center for disinformation control, they don't come from the Wuhan Health Organization, and they certainly don't come from this fraudulent extremist authoritarian regime government, either," Bernstein declared, referring to the National Institutes of Health, and apparently the CDC , the World Health Organization, and the Biden administration. "They come from God. That's where they come from, and not you, or any government, or any intel person or agency is going to do anything about it," he warned. "You know, I've always said Patrick Henry had it half right: 'Give me liberty or give me death.' Bullshit. Give me liberty or I give you death. That's right. Signed, sealed and ******* delivered. So all I got to say about that. Tread lightly." Far-right commentator who contracted COVID threatens Dr. Fauci: 'Give me liberty or give you death' - Alternet.org

Under current laws, you do not have to be over .08 or .05 to be charged with DWI- all you need do is show behavioural signs of impairment, be in the care and control of a motor vehicle (including a boat) while impaired or refuse to provide a sample. OTC medications, street drugs, prescription meds, fatigue and dehydration as well as emotional or physical distress can render the effects of alcohol debilitative.

Are you saying that intoxicated people make good choices about whether they are fit to drive?

One mistake does not necessarily define our lives, but his football career will come and go one way or another. His life after football is far more important and I hope this will be a wakeup call for him to assess his choices and move in in strength.

Well, his hissy-fit did get him a new receiver.

A door has closed for one person and another has opened for someone else. A mistake is not a mistake if you learn from it- then it becomes a lesson.

Previous pandemics were not stopped by herd immunity. Either so many died that people were so sparsely situated as to not have contact with each other (like the Black Death that killed a third of Europeans) or vaccination.

Children have been working in sweat shops in Asia for decades to benefit the obscenely rich.
