Gina Grad joins Cenk for SCS. The truck driver responsible for the car accident that critically injured comedian Tracy Morgan hadn’t slept in over 24 hours. Some politicians are fighting the current regulations that force truck drivers to sleep a certain amount of the time to avoid these kinds of accidents. The Duke Univ porn star will appear as a judge on a reality web series that is the American Idol of porn. Cenk loves this idea and wishes he had thought of it. Talk about how much they would take to participate in this. George Will demeaned college sexual assault victims by calling it a coveted status that college girls look to be a part of. There has been an extreme influx of college aged girls taking self defense classes. Real life Trial by Combat was an English Common law that technically made it into our American Constitution in the 9th Amendment. Cenk and Gina talk about who they’d pick to be their champion in a trial by combat. The father of a 15 year old daughter will not be charged after hitting her teacher with a bat after he discovered they had been engaging in extensive & inappropriate text messages. The teacher came over uninvited to the house to explain himself, and the conversation ended when he got hit.

I once tried to drive from New Haven to Manhattan after having been awake for 36 hours. I “blinked my eyes” and suddenly found myself having shifted 3 lanes to the left. I’m lucky I didn’t kill anyone or myself. Never again.
As my dad said, “If the price is right, the name is Daisy”.
Yay for Gina being here all week! Can’t wait.
of course trial by combat was from England(and Britain) pretty much most of Game of Thrones is ie Red Wedding = Black Dinner
…but of course it would be a Wal-Fart truck!
Love the term Wal-Fart. I think I’ll use it.
Driverless cars… also means driverless trucks and engineerless trains. 15-20 years from now none of this will matter when it is all automated. When you are not depending on truckers, the logistics and efficiencies of long haul cargo trains far exceeds that of a bunch of trucks will be the death of trucking industry.
May come into effect even earlier.
I’m going to add Wal-Fart to my list.
Taco Hell
Starfucks
Pizza Slut
Wal-Fart
I wouldn’t mind visiting a Pizza Slut.
