1. To some DUers there is. Homosexuality, dogs..... It's obvious to some DUers.

EDIT: And they're allowed to remain here.

2. No, I see two sports lawyers, like foot tapping is really a sport and not

a passtime?

[LiberalFighter]

20. pastime is correct spelling

[angstlessk]

24. amazing...I changed it in 2 seconds..and you noticed? thanks for the education

I said past time..but why past time? I should be pass time...cause you are passing time. Thanks for reaffirming my first thoughts.

5. This whining about a small handful of people @ DU is getting old

If you don't like it here then split. No one is begging you to stay here.

7. Your opinion is noted.

8. actually, people are begging for quite the opposite

[BlooInBloo]

9. heh!

[JVS]

3. oh boy!

[Critters2]

4. a haaaa ha.... can't wait to see Michelle Martin, from PBS explain this one. she was on

Bill Maher last week, and it was hilarious watching her tap dance around hubby's working for Vick

quite the twofer

[jgraz]

6. New defense? He didn't want sex, he just wanted to kill the cop's dog.

[Critters2]

13. LOL!! I hate it when I impulsively laugh at things I shouldn't!!

:evilgrin:

[rodeodance]

10. what an idiot-----he should have Lawyered on the day he got caught

[Jed Dilligan]

14. What does he need a lawyer for!?

He pled to a misdemeanor, paid a fine. Am I missing something?

[Critters2]

16. He somehow wants to retract his plea or something.

Any decent lawyer will tell him that what's done is done. But most lawyers will just smell a fool about to be separated from his money.

[Jed Dilligan]

17. Ah, another flip-flopper! nt

[Critters2]

18. LOL!! Zackly. nt

[TahitiNut]

15. The dog!!

:silly:

[aquart]

19. There are MANY lawyers, and Craig picked this one?

The one who helped a publicly hated, guilty man plead down?

And his name is Billy Martin, a monicker which has endless resonance here in New York?

Yeah, there's a joke in there somewhere.

[CatWoman]

21. Why must he feel like that, why must he chase the cat?

nothing but the dawg in him!!!!

[WFF]

23. For someone with PR problems, he should look for a different lawyer

I'm sure there's more than one in America
