blue squares posted:Hey guys I know this happened a while back, but I just turned 26 and had to buy my own insurance. Were any reasonable arguments advanced by Perry and his team for rejecting the Medicaid expansion? Because it sucks. Nope! And IIRC all of the silver level plans on the TX exchange are lovely high deductable plans which present major obstacles to getting proper care.

I think it's specific to Harris County and Fort Bend but they have a pretty decent silver plan. Community Health Choice is the provider. I was surprised that it was reasonable with low deductibles and low out of pocket totals

He has to say he disapproves but of course he is not going to do anything because he secretly approves.

I'm putting this here because in Texas, football is political and the conviction and sentencing of this fine young man shows just how political football is in Texas. A much-talked-about football player at Baylor University—whom coaches “expect back” this fall—is currently on trial for the sexual assault of a fellow student. Questions now swirl around what the program knew and when they knew it. This young man was convicted of Sexual Assault and, even though the jury found that he should serve 8 years in prison, the Judge gave him six months in jail and ten years probation. Everybody at Baylor, the player's roommate, the police, the local news media and now, even the Judge did everything they could to cover this up and make it go away. But the young man can play football so that makes it all OK. Icing on the cake is that Ken Starr, yes that mother loving Ken Starr, is the president and chancellor of Baylor. If anyone can find a dick in a forest, it should be Ken Starr.

That sentence is not in itself a bad thing, in comparison to saner countries with more lenient sentencing, but the bias is very clear here.

The 6 month sentence is absolute horseshit and Texas justice continues to be warped overall. I think the press is missing a rabbit-hole of a story, especially since the guy was convicted, edit: but now the press is cautious after the Rolling Stone affair, perhaps it's just smoke afterall?

You've got your facts wrong here. The judge didn't reduce the sentence from what the jury found for, he increased it. That's because the jury found for a sentence of 8 years of probation. The judge added 2 years of probation and added the 180 days in jail. It's still a hosed up sentence, but it's the jury that hosed it up. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/baylor-de-sam-ukwuachu-sentenced-to-180-days-in-jail--10-years-probation-222938095.html quote:After hearing hours of testimony and summations Friday, the jury took more than three hours to come back with a sentence of eight years of probation. However, the judge changed the sentence to 10 years probation, 180 days in county jail and 400 hours of community service.

Considering the laws on getting financial aid when you have drug offenses and whatnot, it's kind of surprising there aren't laws that prevent scholarships while under indictment for serious crimes like that. Being private, you probably couldn't cover Baylor, but since public money is involved you could certainly do Texas, A&M, and Tech and hope you could get the privates to follow suit.

thefncrow posted:You've got your facts wrong here. OK. I was going by a news report on the radio because I couldn't find anything quickly in the news that talked about the sentence so I went with the radio report. My mistake. So a jury in Waco listened to evidence of the violent rape of a freshman virgin at a religious university and said, " oh but the poor boy can play football so lets give him probation". gently caress Waco and Baylor for ever!

Good thing most sexual assault cases are handled in-house.

Paxton just isn't having a great time of thisquote:After attorney Joe Kendall told state District Judge George Gallagher that he was stepping down from Paxton's defense team, Paxton told Gallagher he didn't currently have a lead defense lawyer. Pretty strange for a lead attorney to quit right before the first hearing and when there is a ticking clock to get the indictments thrown out.

Kendall is a former federal judge and by that metric alone, an incredibly desirable attorney to have. I also imagine he's ungodly expensive. On the flip side, it's very rare for a federal judge to step down and re-enter private practice. Usually they "retire" but then work until they die. I don't know why Kendall stepped down.

Do you know how many creameries screw up their cookies and cream with crunchy Hydrox instead of moist Oreos and Oreo substitutes? And don't get me started on using lovely knockoff vanilla as a base instead of a creamier base. I did manage to finally learn of a suitable substitute recently, but for some reason they never carry Tillamook Cookies and Cream here either, only Vanilla.  TL;DR: I take my ice cream really seriously.
