    The latest snippet in the series ‘they take us for fools’: “Three judges removed and a fourth resigns for viewing pornography at work”
    http://www.theguardian.com/law/2015/...graphy-at-work


    a) can’t these guys afford a computer of their own? b) How come these professional judges of all people were so ignorant of the rules? c) one such case is vaguely plausible, two unlikely and four totally ridiculous; d) their sexual conduct is above reproach: ‘viewing pornography is not illegal but doing so on office equipment is considered a serious act of misconduct that undermines public confidence in the judiciary’; e) such sexual conduct is not contagious; f) conclusion, some of their court judgments must have been displeasing to someone. Another news story that stops at the precise point where it should be starting.

    but wait..it gets worse....

    OKLAHOMA CITY - Jurors and others in Judge Donald Thompson's courtroom kept hearing a strange whooshing noise, like a bicycle pump or maybe a blood pressure cuff. During one trial, Thompson seemed so distracted that some jurors thought he was playing a hand-held video game or tying fly-fishing lures behind the bench.

    The explanation, investigators say, is even stranger than some imagined: The judge had a habit of masturbating with a penis pump under his robe during trials.

    http://www.chron.com/news/nation-wor...ls-1945301.php


    Thompson was a former state legislator and a judge with more than 20 years on the bench in Creek County in eastern Oklahoma.

    Thompson's court reporter, Lisa Foster, told authorities that she saw him use the pump at least 10 times during trials.

    She said the first time in court was in 2000, but she did not tell authorities. "I didn't want to be found dead in a ditch somewhere," she said.

    I just went to outside with my dog into an unlit area (those are not common here in the city) and I saw some breathtakingly amazing auroras. They were somewhat faint, but yet massive large green beams which filled the night sky. Absolutely stunning. Of course I didn't have my phone with me so I couldn't take any photos. Maybe tomorrow I get to take some pictures if I am lucky! I imagine that other people in high latitudes will get to see those too.

    This past week has been exceptional. We have had bright blue skies during the days and bright night skies with shining stars and then yesterday lights in the skies. However, today our blue sky is filled with the heaviest chemtrailing I've seen in a while. Got to love those morons... Or then something "natural" always happens to the atmosphere after intense solar activity which makes the clouds look unnatural.

    Default Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?



    Here and now, a part of me flows with this music, in perfection...all while everything on the outer layer is being completely torn apart. The energies of late have done a number on my physical self, and that in turn, is now affecting my emotional self. My sensitivity is the edge of a blade, and my patience has stretched thin, ready to snap with one final tug. Yet, there seems to be another part of me that sits in the eye of the hurricane, just watching...while keeping everything pulled together.
