joe, who can this guy call for help? he didnt even do nuttin.
I dunno, Fox Force Five, maybe?
Why am I the "who to call for help" hotline? If it were up to me, pretty much everyone who isn't awesome would be dead. I'm not really a neutral, objective opinion here.

I am at a loss to understand how a dude getting pulled over for speeding is relevant to a news headline which I faked to make it seem as though Slate Magazine, which was in fact making fun of people of a certain race in a retail environment (which is ok), were instead making fun of a different race, in the same environment (which would not have been ok.)
RE: sex offender population densities. I think the effect you're observing is being mediated by another variable. There are many laws governing where registered sex offender may live (proximity to schools, etc.). I imagine that it is more difficult to comply with these kind of laws in more densely populated areas, and registered sex offenders are driven out to less densely populated areas.

That's an intriguing hypothesis. What data supports it, and how is it relevant to the political leanings of the offenders?
As an amusing sidebar, under the "its a small world" category, while doing research for this thread, I happened to come across the following:
That's my cousin. On my mother's side of the family, obviously. (Behold the Caucasianity!)
This explains a lot, as Mike kinda dropped off the face of the earth several years ago, insofar as contact with the family was concerned. Nobody really knew where he was, and now I know why.
I was thinking this afternoon about the Theresa May situation broadly, and the concept of the No-Confidence mechanism in particular.
I find it interesting that in many governments, the Parliament can kick out the Prime Minister just by taking a vote. That makes it pretty easy for the legislative branch to boss around the executive.
Contrast this to the system in the US, whereas in order to remove a sitting President requires an impeachment, which is a process similar to a criminal trial requiring that a charge be alleged and then proven. As such, Congress can't just kick the president out of office "because we don't like you."

That's an interesting distinction.
The PM is also appointed by the party and not b elected by the people so it makes a little more sense that Parliament could remove someone they placed in power to begin with is they do not feel they are doing a good job. In our system it would just be a big middle finger to the voters.
When a pediatric surgeon from Baltimore says that Baltimore is an infested shithole, maybe it's just an infested shithole:
Ben Carson says as a pediatric neurosurgeon, he hesitated to send children back to ‘infested’ homes in Baltimore
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson speaks as President Trump signs an executive order to establish a White House council on affordable housing, in the Oval Office of the White House in late June.
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson defended President Trump and his characterization of Baltimore as a “rodent infested mess” and said that while working as a pediatric neurosurgeon in the city, he hesitated to send children back to “infested” homes.
Carson, who spent much of his medical career at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, broke his silence Monday night during an interview on Fox News two days after Trump started attacking Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) and the city he represents.
“As a pediatric neurosurgeon, I spent many hours, sometimes operating all night long, trying to give children of Baltimore and other places around the world a second chance at life. And usually we were successful,” Carson told host Tucker Carlson.
“But a few days later, I was in a horrible dilemma, because some of those kids had to go back into homes in East Baltimore that were infested with rats and roaches and ticks and mold and lead and violence,” Carson continued. “And I didn’t want to send them back. Sometimes I would even consider, you know, extra tests so they could stay in the hospital an extra day or two.”
I've had a sudden rat infestation with a distinct absence of black people. Bastards got in my boat and my house. Rats, not black people. You can't be too careful what people might construe if you are calling something a bastard these days.
