Doctors get sued all the time. How is it that chiropractors don't have a line of attorneys (or coroners) following them around?

I'd hit both of them. And then mess with her psychopathology big time.

Having a "best 5" is way more than most directors. It's also a hell of a good Virtual Pinball Machine (I don't think it was ever a real machine, but it may have been): https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/11309-big-trouble-in-little-china/

Wow- I just watched it (Skyfall). Man... I dunno what to say. I just HATE James Bond in the 21st century. It's like he doesn't belong here. Think Austin Powers. When you TRY to force the character into the moral background it just doesn't work at all. Just get rid of the idea of James Bond...

That is precisely what happened last New Year's eve when the son of "the strip club king" got one for his birthday and hit my neighbor's tree at about 120 mph (our street is one block long). No arrests, either. My neighbor cried for the loss of his cherry tree. But the accident sounded like a...

It's phenomenal. Unbelievable geopolitical thriller with the depth and complexity of LeCarre. She is brilliant. And it's her first novel. A GREAT read.
