Bloody grim. Police in the years since seem to have treated John Dewar as a role model rather than a cautionary tale. Louise Nicholas all over again.

Just to be clear, this is what John Dewar has been up to since covering up sexual assault by 3 of his colleagues.

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.

My pet peeve is that "Third World" means neither part of the US or the USSR bloc, not "third rate".

If you write a whole book about how you were just inches ahead of your competition, you are estopped from claiming any grand historical impact from being first.

Tech companies have plenty of bad ideas they say will improve transportation — but the car remains a menace.

I accept the basic premise that building a coalition requires bringing in people whose values don't align with mine, which means swallowing some dead rats; but still, would be a bit more convinced if the people making that argument were good at, ya know, winning.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.'

Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."
