Friday Roundup: Rip Off at Bob’s, Ripped Off by Cameras, Keller’s Stumbling & More

Bob of Bob’s Chop House has been indicted for the theft of $300,000. Can I bring charges for the theft of $20 for a side dish of mediocre asparagus?

This story about how much green city red light cameras are generating (or losing, in a few places) doesn’t mention the lawsuit against the city of Dallas’ red light camera operator, which will likely result in their abolition in Dallas. Nor does it mention that there’s basically no penalty if you refuse to pay the $75 fine the cameras generate. (Hint, hint.)

Want to see some ironic justice? Take a look at Judge Sharon Keller’s sworn responses to charges by the Commission of Judicial Misconduct.

I’m not saying I don’t get the other side, but the city moved to the hunters, the hunters didn’t move to the city. And I’m suspicious of any legislation that comes with the plead of “Won’t you think of the children?”

    Sounds like expensive asparagus. I’m glad I’m starting a garden this year. :)
