There is evidence of attempted wrong doing, and it's on the losing side. 
But you know, stay "fair and balanced" in your own head.
are these folks being held accountable?
or did some judge just decide not to take the case

I'd love nothing more than cheaters and law breakers to be held accountable - both sides of the aisle

Typos in an important legal brief on the first page are ONE indication of sloppy work.  The term "circuit" was misspelled, twice.  I don't worry about the occasional typo in the body if the rest of the brief is meaty, but that wasn't the case here, at all.

At best, it's evidence for hurried work, but the brief wasn't all that long, and it was replete with completely unsubstantiated charges including some which are easily disproven with a quick check of voting tabulations.

It contained no new information, just a regurgitation of false claims made public by others, like that MBA in Texas, whose claims are easily checked and dismissed as nonfactual.

Ya know I would not be shocked,back in '07 & '11 when LSU was playing for NCs and he was a hot commodity it was obvious he flirted/fawned  with and over attractive reporters.Remember one he did with Erin Andrews - so damn blatant I felt bad for his family and LSU.You'd think these guys might remember Bobby Petrino,Mike Price,etc;Hope it's all false but considering all the grass he ate prolly not

We stopped and got take out at Community BBQ today, I was wanting to try it.  They only do take out.  On the whole I prefer Fox Bros.

Community Q BBQ

Their Mac and Cheese was apparently home made.  Brunswick stew was decent, not great.  The pulled pork was very lean, I liked that, no obvious fat.  Two kinds of sauces including eastern Carolina type (vinegar).

Assistant. It appears he had 13ish years on her. Not ideal, though obviously very different times. When they got married, he was 35, her 22, I think

I've found the range of even the appearance of Brunswick stew to be vast.  A range of quality is expected, but I've seen it looking like soup, like canned chili, served by itself, served over white rice....it's weird.

It does vary a lot, even from  Brunswick, GA to Brunswick County Virginia, both lay claim to it.

I like it when it's good, and it's usually at least OK.  I make it myself at times.  I might make some tonight.  My daughter should be here from C-bus, she's on the road now, in TN I suspect.  (She just texted me from Loudon, TN, she's less than four hours out.)
This was more like soup and had no lima beans or potatoes, which is OK, but I prefer the kind with lima beans.

It was a touch spicy.  The wife asked me to make sweet tea so I did.  She liked it, she thinks it's an arduous task to make sweet tea.

Cavorting with coeds is probably a bad description. At best it sounds like he was hiring student workers to be his personal Hooters staff and at worst hiring them for his personal harem.

Who knew?  Buying a watch in 1880!

If you were in the market for a watch in 1880, would you know where to get one? You would go to a store, right? Well, of course, you could do that, but if you wanted one that was cheaper and a bit better than most of the store watches, you went to the train station!Sound a bit funny?

Well, for about 500 towns across the northern United States, that's where the best watches were found. Why?
The railroad company wasn't selling the watches, not at all.
The telegraph operator was.
Most of the time the telegraph operator was located in the railroad station because the telegraph lines followed the railroad tracks from town to town.
It was usually the shortest distance and the right-of-way had already been secured for the rail line.
Most of the station agents were also skilled telegraph operators and it was the primary way they communicated with the railroad.
They would know when trains left the previous station and when they were due at their next station.
And it was the telegraph operator who had the watches.
As a matter of fact, they sold more of them than almost all the stores combined for a period of about 9 years.
This was all arranged by "Richard", who was a telegraph operator himself.
He was on duty in the North Redwood, Minnesota train station one day when a load of watches arrived from the East. It was a huge crate of pocket watches. No one ever came to claim them.
So Richard sent a telegram to the manufacturer and asked them what they wanted to do with the watches.
The manufacturer didn't want to pay the freight back, so they wired Richard to see if he could sell them. So Richard did.
He sent a wire to every agent in the system asking them if they wanted a cheap, but good, pocket watch.
He sold the entire case in less than two days and at a handsome profit.
That started it all. He ordered more watches from the watch company and encouraged the telegraph operators to set up a display case in the station offering high quality watches for a cheap price to all the travelers.
It worked!
It didn't take long for the word to spread and, before long, people other than travelers came to the train station to buy watches. Richard became so busy that he had to hire a professional watchmaker to help him with the orders.
That was Alvah.
And the rest is history as they say.
The business took off and soon expanded to many other lines of dry goods.
Richard and Alvah left the train station and moved their company to Chicago -- and it's still there.
YES, IT'S A LITTLE KNOWN FACT  that for a while in the 1880s, the biggest watch retailer in the country was at the train station. It all started with a telegraph operator: Richard Sears and partner Alvah Roebuck!

When we moved to Atlanta in 1964, this was THE Sears in town.



There wasn't another one that I knew of.  We went to this one if we went to Sears.  Obviously, over the years it closed as a retail outlet, and fell into some disrepair, was bought by the city for offices, and then by a developer who had this idea for "Ponce City Market", which has been a major success.

Ponce City Market

It has sparked construction all over near it coupled with its being adjacent to the East Belt Line, a walking biking path on an old RR grade.

Usually, buildings like this get torn down here for something boring.
