Daisy Kincaid: Well then give me your definition of grammar!

Using this site's search mechanisms I was only able to locate 10 cases out of hundreds upon hundreds of cases where a defendant was charged with 'murther' and was acquitted on the basis of Se Defendendo.

Ten cases over a 238 year span?

LIMBAUGH'S NEW AD CAMPAIGN!

By Richard Day on Mon, 03/12/2012 - 4:46pm |

A coffin shop in Macau

Media Matters informs that Limbaugh's radio show has lost 98 advertisers over the last few weeks.

Limbaugh insists that he has thousands of advertisers who request some advertising during his show hoping to reach his premium audiences.

And some of these new advertisers specifically focus on certain listeners that relate to the subject Limbaugh has been referring to prior to the ad breaks:
