THAT EXPLAINS IT
Back when I was nineteen and avoiding the draft at all costs to stay out of Tet Offensive harm's way, I would have argued with passion that the draft was the ultimate in racism and economic discrimination, because mostly the privileged could find a way around it and mostly the underprivileged became the target.

This from the San Diego Union Tribune.
Longtime sports broadcaster Jim Lampley is accused of roughing up his companion on New Year's Eve prior to his arrest Wednesday in Encinitas on suspicion of domestic violence, according to court records.

The victim, who said she was engaged to Lampley, filed for the temporary restraining order Tuesday, accusing Lampley of pushing her against a wall and a door New Year's Eve, according to court records.

She added Lampley, 57, had been drinking and smoking marijuana when he pulled her from the sofa, where she had been watching a movie, because he wanted to go to bed, the woman wrote. When she resisted, he pushed her, the woman wrote.

Late last year, Lampley's fiancee wrote in the court documents, she was pushed to the floor of a New York City restaurant by the broadcaster, which left her bruised for two weeks from her neck to her tailbone.

Lampley agreed to seek counseling, and the woman continued the relationship, but decided she would seek a restraining order if Lampley hurt her again, according to the court records.

Why fight the tough ole VC when women are so much easier?
