Quote of the Day: Say It Sister
I wouldn’t have felt good about [Gerald Ung] going to jail for 40 years for a bad decision made in 70 seconds. If he went to jail, it doesn’t take back the year of recovery and rehabilitation my brother has had to endure. There’s no malice towards the shooter here. And I wish his supporters […] -

Columbia Poli Sci Professor Accused of Diddling His Daughter
We know that part of the appeal of Ivy League schools is the incestuous nature of the high-end job market.

More Kimberly Kourt News for Evening Readers
Yesterday we wrote about a family lawyer who posed nude for Playboy. She’s the mag’s “Employee of the Month.” Here’s the Not Safe for Work (NSFW) link.
