Assorted Stupidity

In this edition: an officer-involved proposal, another reason to read “terms & conditions” carefully, the right to bear machetes in New Jersey, dead rivers, and goat yoga, among other things.


Assorted Stupidity #101

In this edition: an unwise extortionist, Oklahoma fixes its “mistake,” how to commit a crime and still win an election, and an arrest warrant turns up the heat on Bikram Choudhury.


Assorted Stupidity #100

I was planning to do something special for Assorted Stupidity #100, but I haven’t had time and meanwhile the stupidity has really been piling up. So let us continue.


Assorted Stupidity #99.5

In this edition: be on the lookout for orange fingers; the difference between accidental and intentional; police piling on; and a victory for the rule of law (involving traffic cameras, but it’s a start).


Assorted Stupidity #99

In this edition: how to get stuck in a hay bale and live, driving under the influence of caffeine, some stuff about robberies, and a teensy border conflict ends peacefully.

Assorted Stupidity #97

In this edition: wearing a crown will not necessarily impress a jury; Whitesboro is still looking for a new seal; defining “Native American” is still problematic; other Americans illegally drift into Canada; when not to cite Dred Scott (ever); and a successful dongle thief.


Assorted Stupidity #96

In this edition: that shark-attack lawsuit settled, amateur thieves fail again, an Australian lawyer beats Domino’s in a pizza-delivery case, and Donald Trump.


Assorted Stupidity #95

In this edition: the state of Illinois takes on three leather vests; why arbitration is better than kidnapping; a reluctant candidate; and what not to do if your marriage seems like a prison.
