Jack the Ripper and St. Valentine's Day Massacre
Actually, there are some Ripperologists that adamantly believe he did it, but never offer up any thoughts on why they think he did.

Jack the Ripper and St. Valentine's Day Massacre
LMAO! Oh, after hunting around on the web, I remember the other bit of evidence against Kominski. There was an eye witness that ID'd him, but refused to offer testimony.

Mel Gibson
That's what I remember as well from my years in Catholic schools (grammar and high school). I have no idea if I plan on seeing this or not. Brian mentioned something about renting it if/when it comes out on DVD, but I don't think we will be going to the theatres to see it.

Jack the Ripper and St. Valentine's Day Massacre
I wished they had provided some insight as to why people think it was Lewis Carroll. The book I have mentions that theory only in passing and provides no details. The fact that he was a Polish Jew does cause some people to doubt that he was the one, but the evidence is compelling. Some of it was corroborated (sp?) by Kominski's brother when he had Kominski institutionalized soon after the last murder. Kominski had an intense hate for women, especially prostitutes, he was clinically insane, psychotic is the label he was given (I think) in the institution. There is more information in the book that I have that was mentioned on the show. Also the FBI profile that was developed, fit him to a 'T.' As the retired FBI dude said, this does not mean that Kominski did it, just that he fit the profile.

So is my fiance. Funny part is that it didn't dawn on him until I pointed it out a couple years ago.

JR gets hurt pretty bad...
Oh I am not. I thought it was shattered as well, but there was the yahoo and another link saying otherwise on www.inthecrease.com .

Fighting in Hockey
Damn, I turned off the game too soon. Didn't see that fight, but I could tell something was brewing during the parts of the game I watched. I just thought it would have been Osgood VS his defender - that putz kicked in a goal for the Avs when it was going wide left.

Mel Gibson
I guess that means everyone hates Pollacks and blondes...(I guess that means I am double hated...er...1.5 x hated (only half Polish)...I wonder if that is anything like double secret probation).

Jack the Ripper and St. Valentine's Day Massacre
Jack the Ripper They did the analysis on an episode of 'Unsolved History.' A lot of it seemed to be taken from a book that I have on it that covers the many theories and also goes through the opinions of various levels of authority and psychology for their opinions as well as the opinions of known 'Jack the Ripper' historians (there's got to be a better word for this). The violence of the 5 murders (although there is one of the murders that some think was not work of the Ripper) was unreal, especially Mary Kelly's murder and what 'Jack' did with her remains. The conclusion that seemed to be agreed on in the end does seem supported by the evidence. (They thought it was Kominski, the Polish Jew that lived in that area with his brother. If wanted, I can list why they thought he was the guilty party.) St. Valentine's Day Massacre I think this was on Tuesday where they had forensic scientists come in and do a re-enactment of the shooting using the autopsy reports as well as police reports (I think) and talked about why tommy guns were used instead of shot guns (from a science standpoint as well as Capone's preferences). The lasers they used to act as tommy guns to get reaction times were awesome. The re-enactors said they were surprised that the lasers elicited such a response from them - obviously no pain or blood shed, but the said they almost seemed real for the first few seconds. It helped to explain why if they were facing the brick wall, there were shots in the front of several of the victims rather than all entrance wounds being from behind them. They even had sheriffs from Michigan perform a simulation to show what happens when shooting at something that is near a brick wall.

Kerry Campaign in Trouble?
I thought that was where they were coming from. I am fine with their views. I am just trying to get across mine differ and why - I get a little pissed when people insinuate that I am stupid for not seeing their way. I guess it also puts me at odds with that opinion because I think gay marriage is fine - if you don't like gay marriage, don't have one.
-
JR gets hurt pretty bad...
No, just broken. He was speaking at about 11PM (there is a link at inthecrease.com). Yahoo link - click it while it lasts Also at yahoo they are saying broken, not shattered. ESPN's first news release on this did say shattered though.

Law and Order for New York as well (EDIT: Will & Grace as well) A few years back there was a show called 'Homicide: Life on the Streets' that took place in Baltimore. Texas - Reba (I think it takes place in Texas)

Kerry Campaign in Trouble?
To elaborate on my post after reading CW's post, many men and women are guilty of adultery at some point in their lives. This doesn't make it okay, I am merely stating a fact. If this is a disqualification to be pres, we just cut out many congressman (repubs and demos) and a large portion of the US. This is a question not an accusation of any sort so no panty bunching please, didn't Bush Jr. admit to some sort of affair? One way or another I don't care and it isn't the reason why I can't stand Bush. I am more concerned on what they can do as president - foreign relations, economy, women's issues (surprise there, huh?), health insurance, etc.

Kerry Campaign in Trouble?
Sorry I expressed my opinion. I still think it doesn't. I don't really care where the guy's dick has been. That is not to say I think adultery is okay, I don't.

What's everyone doing for Valentine's Day?
I'm going to the Auto Show on V-day. He's still bugging me to come up with something I want for V-day. I told him that I wanted us to get carry-out and rent a few DVDs, but since he is working that can't happen so I really don't want anything else.

Kerry Campaign in Trouble?
As did Gephardt (sp?). I still want to know why this is supposed to be such a threat to his campaign - it's not our business - that is for him and his wife to sort through.
