Womck met Yu, 52, after he was appointed her attorney because she and four other Chinese women were arrested during a Jan. 14 raid at the Sun Chinese Spa in Harrison Township and charged with keeping a house of ill fame and using a computer to commit a crime.

running a whorehouse = 5 years
using a computer to commit a crime = 10 years
therefore, computers are evil

If we cared about Chicago I'd put this in the "Slime bubbling to the top ... Chicago" thread.

Confronted with questions about a flurry of red light camera tickets stamped with yellow times below the 3-second minimum, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration said the fluctuation of hundredths of a second was normal — imperceptible to anyone behind the wheel of a car. It turns out that fraction of a second makes a big difference to drivers and to the city's coffers.

The Emanuel administration on Friday acknowledged that it had changed the rules on what qualifies for a $100 ticket, quietly directing its new red light camera vendor to tag drivers even when the duration of a yellow light slips just below the 3-second standard set by the city. The policy generated 77,000 more tickets and nearly $8 million in revenue for the city over the last six months.

I thought it was Joss Whedon.

The Libertarian presidentian debates have been amusing, especially with McAfee in the fold.

Perhaps someone ought to remind the Oakland Press that the President isn't on the upcoming primary ballot?

The Russians tried to hack into the RNC, too, but only found suicide notes.
