Trial collapses over claim judge was linked to Bush

THE trial of five anti-war protesters accused of causing millions of dollars of damage to an American warplane at Shannon Airport collapsed for a second time last night.

The development came after the defence suggested the trial judge had attended George W Bush's first presidential inauguration.

Judge Donagh McDonagh told the jury he had "no option" but to withdraw. <snip>

They usually bow outand give another one the trial when they have links like that.

Sounds like some corruption on the judges part for accepting the case.

Is that pronounced Donna MickDonna? :wtf:

Are you happy now? Some people who don't support your party's war just got a new chance, because people like you insist on checking everyone's "party loyalty" even before proceeding in courts of law.

Before I buy my next gallon of milk, I plan to ask the grocery cashier which party she's connected to.

:rofl:

large door.

Judges should be impartial and IMO non partisan as well. A lot of people take politics very seriously and to have a judge trying your case thayt has a partisan agenda is not right. I think a law should be created that bars judges from supporting any political party or cause in any public manner such as contributions or speaches. It is just not right to politicize the legal system.

and stay away from politics so they won't be accused of supporting one group or another. I don't doubt that they give campaign contributions quietly, though.

why judges run for the post under affiliation to one party or the other.

The thought that cows are eating ground up left-over body parts and renderings in their feed grosses me out

THE MILK LETTER : A MESSAGE TO MY PATIENTS
Robert M. Kradjian, MD
Breast Surgery Chief Division of General Surgery,
Seton Medical Centre #302 - 1800 Sullivan Ave.
Daly City, CA 94015 USA

SUMMARY

To my thinking, there is only one valid reason to drink milk
or use milk products. That is just because we simply want
to. Because we like it and because it has become a part of
our culture. Because we have become accustomed to its taste
and texture. Because we like the way it slides down our
throat. Because our parents did the very best they could for
us and provided milk in our earliest training and
conditioning. They taught us to like it. And then probably
the very best reason is ice cream! I've heard it described
"to die for".

I had one patient who did exactly that. He had no obvious
vices. He didn't smoke or drink, he didn’t eat meat, his
diet and lifestyle was nearly a perfectly health promoting
one; but he had a passion. You guessed it, he loved rich ice
cream. A pint of the richest would be a lean day's ration
for him. On many occasions he would eat an entire quart -
and yes there were some cookies and other pastries. Good ice
cream deserves this after all. He seemed to be in good
health despite some expected "middle age spread" when he had
a devastating stroke which left him paralyzed, miserable and
helpless, and he had additional strokes and d ied several
years later never having left a hospital or rehabilitation
unit. Was he old? I don't think so. He was in his 50s.

So don't drink milk for health. I am convinced on the weight
of the scientific evidence that it does not "do a body
good." Inclusion of milk will only reduce your diet's
nutritional value and safety.

Most of the people on this planet live very healthfully
without cows' milk. You can too.

It will be difficult to change; we've been conditioned since
childhood to think of milk as "nature's most perfect food."
I'll guarantee you that it will be safe, improve your health
and it won't cost anything. What can you lose?

And yes, it probably is because we want to. I personally don't have a problem with this. Dairy products are among the pleasures of life, at least as far as I'm concerned.

I, um, buy it to put on the plants. Um, did you know that begonias do REALLY WELL when they get a gallon of "1% milkfat" per day?

(cough) Thanks for sharing that with us!

One of our local judges has that sappy picture of George and Laura up in his chambers--and not in his inner office, either.

Wonder how long it will take before the display of that disgusting piece of trash becomes the grounds for someone's appeal?

Loving it!
