I see the linked article mentions Tom's Diner. Preserving old buildings and reusing them is all well and good, but are we willing to force current owners to make the financial sacrifice to make that happen? or is that going to be passed onto the taxpayers to make whole the current owner?

So, back to the preservers: you gonna shell out of your own pocket? no? Ok, I want to take the first swing of the wrecking ball.

Child abuse in Texas. Deer Texas, y'all done lost your dang mind.

Scroll down for the coup de grace:

Listened to an interview with the father. He says the mother used to lock the boy in his room and tell him there's a monster who only eats little boys. At three, she started dressing him like a girl. Would withhold affection if he wasn't dressed like a girl.

That is that north Dallas lady IRA. As I recall there is a lot of politics involved in that decision. There is the usual fathers have no rights bit but also the mother has strong support from the local Democrat party thing pushing this further into crazy town. For most people I don't think the courts are that messed up. Though I could be wrong.

I recall the Florida judge that ruled a man who was under 10 at the time the child in question was conceived still had to pay child support because it was in the best interests of the child. That he was unquestionably not the father wasn't a consideration.

Much attention has been paid to judicial activism, where judges read their preferred policies into statutes or the Constitution, resulting in law by judicial fiat. But law by bureaucracy is just as pernicious and perhaps more insidious. The bureaucracy, unlike the judiciary, is often nameless and faceless. The result in both cases is the same, of course: Depriving citizens of a government of, by, and for the people.

"because Harvard."

But the the Bushes and Chelsea and all the important people who matter go Ivy League so you're wrong.

Now if only one could redesign all the malls into parks we might be on to something because, damn, I hate malls of any size.

Harvard is just a hedge fund that happens to have a university attached.

Worst. Nazi. Evah.
