It's been said by others, but that bit Jussie went on at the end is his audition for his next gig after prison. He will join the ranks of Martha Stewart and other "hardcore" celebs who've done prison time. He's lucky he didn't cheat on his taxes like Wesley Snipes...

Apparently, Jessie's lawyers are every bit as awesome as Jessie is:

"The defense then accused Judge James Linn of not asking the proper questions during jury selection. Judge Linn denied the charge and told the defense that they had submitted stupid questions like “if you were an animal, what animal would you be?” as well as inquiries into the potential jury members’ favorite superheroes, which he would not entertain."

(from Megan Fox on PJ Media)

Also:

"All experts who commented before the sentencing hearing agreed that he was unlikely to get any jail time. "

I suppose this would be a good point to insert the old "What would we do without experts" joke. Or to contemplate the special skill it must take to turn a slap on the wrist into a six-month jail term.

May everyone have a pleasant and relaxing weekend.

"It sounds... like something _I_ would say." Chappelle is so good at his craft.

Big Fan of the Hitchhiker's Guide Quintology (?) but have never heard of that game. Minesweeper's about my speed so maybe I can actually handle something from the Clinton Era. My favorite quote, passage really, from the series includes this tidbit:

“Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.”

............................................................................................

Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed.

“But we have also,” continued the management consultant, “run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, ..."

............................................................................................

Just stuff $1.5T in leaves into your track suit and this years' budget will be all squared up.

"Does he have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton?" gave me a belly laugh. 5 months isn't NEARLY enough for the pain he caused, but given he and everyone else expected no jail time, it's good enough for now.

Gordon was my favorite. Luis was a close second. Between Adam Yauch and Doug Adams, before that Betty White, it feels like a real twilight of the gods.

Favorite line - "Does he have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton?" 😂😂😂

Also, the little heart at the end of the article isn't working again - I'll try at the top of the article.

I hate to break your rice bowl, but Juicy isn't likely to spend much time behind bars. There's probably automatic 1/2 time reduced, plus good behavior, plus reduction for arranging sock drawer, and who knows what all else. then of course probation time will be deleted or severely reduced. When he claims poverty, undoubtedly the fine and restitution will also be but a fleeting dream. In this great land of ours, don't look for justice, esply not for our "celebrity elite."
