I'm asking this because a friend on Facebook said police can't stop you and ask for ID without reason even in Arizona. While according to the constitution, that should be true we all know it isn't. Police constantly set up DUI...

jmowreader In NC (at least until they changed the law so you can't register an uninspected car), most of the people they caught in DUI checkpoints were for expired inspection stickers. I remember two checkpoints clearly...the first one they ever set up in...

jmowreader DUI checkpoints don't work the way they should. The only drunk drivers they'll catch are ones who have no friends. If I just left the bar after drinking Coca-Cola all evening and I see a DUI checkpoint on Government Way, I'm going to call my friend and tell...

As much as I agree with the freedom of speech, this is too much for me. CNN is reporting that a father must pay the legal expenses for the Westboro Baptist Church, the loonies that protest at funerals of fallen soldiers....

jmowreader All the Phelpses are lawyers. Suing people repeatedly is how they earn their livings. Phelps knows exactly what the limits to free speech are...and that's exactly how far he goes. Unfortunately for the people who hate him (and he knows almost everyone hates...

I usually order marzipan eggs (I just love them) specially made on easter from one of our parishioners. This year I wanna try making it. So is there anyone who can share me their recipe. Most of the people i know, don't share...

jmowreader Marzipan is a mixture of 1 part almond meal and one part confectioner's sugar. If you have a food processor this isn't hard: throw a pound of unsalted roasted almonds in and grind them into a cornmeal-like consistency. Add the sugar and continue to process...

jmowreader I currently live in the Sandhills of North Carolina. Their ancestors, hundreds and hundreds of years ago, largely came from Scotland. There are a LOT of McLaurins and McMillans and other Mc-names here. We even have McDonalds, and not just the ones with the...

jmowreader If they would like to be Confederates, let them be Confederates. But as foreign citizens, they will simply have to get passports and work visas, apply for H1B status like other foreign citizens do, and be deported back to wherever it is their ancestors came...

Do you have good quality pots and pans? Would you like some of the really nice professional pots and pans that chefs use? Do you use a lot of different pots and pans or just the same few all the time?

jmowreader Most people wouldn't want true foodservice cookware, because it's not nonstick. Nonstick coatings wouldn't last under the conditions of a professional kitchen--harsh sanitizers and stirring with metal utensils. Foodservice pans are not very expensive; you can...

jmowreader There's a significant difference between the Canadian healthcare system and Army Healthcare for All. In the Canadian system, medical practices are private businesses. When someone goes to the doctor, the practice sends the bill to the provincial insurance...

jmowreader I would have Army Healthcare for All. The Army treats its soldiers at no cost to the servicemember. If you need to go to the doctor, you go to the orderly room, get a sick slip and go to sick call. They save money through preventive care: every soldier has...

jmowreader I'm a little hazy on this bill, but early in Bush's administration the GOP wrote a Medicare authorization act. They called the AARP to ask them what should be in it--it's a bill that helps senior citizens, the seniors should know what they want, right?--and...

jmowreader The whole uproar isn't because Palin uses a teleprompter, writes notes on her palm, or whatever. It's because she talks smack about the president using a teleprompter when EVERYONE in the public eye uses one. These days a public speaker's people give the text...

jmowreader The "laws to protect workers' basic rights" do not work. I live in a right to work (or "right to get fired") state, and right now the big fad is to "1099" your employees--to declare your employees to be independent contractors. If you've been 1099'd, you have...
