Just for the record ...

... I am not this asshat:

Last September, Alvin Schlangen was acquitted in Hennepin County, Minnesota of the following three charges: selling raw milk, operating without a food license, and handling adulterated food.

But in January he was brought up on six charges in his home county of Stearns, including the same three that were just dropped against him. Each side had a few weeks to submit letters, one of which was Alvin's attorney requesting to have the same three charges dropped.

Alvin is arguing that this is serial prosecution - I'm guessing a less severe form of what we might call Double Jeopardy. But Judge Thomas Knapp disagreed and said they were different "crimes," although similar, happening 10 days apart and involving separate foods.

Just sayin', as I wouldn't want to be mistaken for said asshat if someone decided to beat some sense into, or the tar out of, him.

Not that I'm encouraging that, mind you. Turning him out of office and ostracizing him with such thoroughgoing intensity that he moves, changes his name and changes his ways would probably be more effective remedies to his cranial-rectal inversion problem.

    I thіnk whаt you сοmрoѕed
    was aсtually νery reаѕonable.

    Howeνer, whаt about this? supposе you addеd a little content?
    I am not ѕaуing your content is nοt ѕolіd, but ωhat if
    you addеd a titlе tο possiblу grab ρeople's attention? I mean "Just for the record ..." is kinda boring. You ought to peek at Yahoo's frоnt
    рage and note how thеy сreate news titles to get рeople to cliсk.
    You mіght try aԁԁing a video or a picture оr twο to gгab people intereѕtеԁ about what you've written. In my opinion, it would make your website a little bit more interesting.

    When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the
    same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Thank you!

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add
    to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
