*flash forward to the Indian Ocean in 3 weeks where 1 lowly fisherman hears a loud whistling above his head*

That is far from Onion-like for that group though… That is normal business for them. 

If I win free tickets to their upcoming show, I will definitely report back on what it is actually like to be at a concert where Faygo spraying is the top priority.

JLENS blimp has come free of its mooring at APG, now floating over Pennsylvania; fighter jets monitoring

One of the two military surveillance blimps that has been watching the East Coast from Maryland has broken free of its mooring at Aberdeen Proving Ground and is now drifting over Pennsylvania, authorities said.

Two F-16 fighter jets from an Air National Guard base in Atlantic City, N.J., are monitoring the unmanned aircraft, and the North American Aerospace Defense Command is working with the Federal Aviation Administration "to ensure air traffic safety," a spokesman said. The blimp is drifting at an altitude of 16,000 feet.

but he's got money and ergo good lawyers
but it is high profile and any prison he goes to…he will probably wish they gave him the death penalty as child molesters don't do well there

I will never forget leaving my lunch at home and going to Sheetz to buy a veggie sandwich only to have the screen inform me "Fries are the new lettuce" and ask me if I'd like to swap my lettuce for french fries directly on the sandwich. This is why people are fat.

Not to defend the guy or the severity of the sentence, but I think he only had sex with one 17 year-old hooker.  Other than that, the charges are mostly about condoning (and watching) child porn made by the head of his charity.

This is not what I've been lead to believe. Now, I'm not saying everything I've read is true, and I know that the media tends to run with salacious stuff, but if he said this:

?I had a little boy. It was amazing,? Fogle reportedly said, in response to a question about being with children. ?It just felt so good. I mean, it felt?it felt so good.?

I can't imagine him calling a 17 yr old a "little boy". Plus my impression is that there's been more than just this. It was just the kiddie porn that implicated him.

If those tapes are real then I would presume (hope) that further charges and jail terms are forthcoming. 

what shocked me is she was taping this stuff for 4 years
guess they needed to build up a case?

That was curious to me too: did the FBI think after year 3 of compiling this, "hey, wait, he might still lead us to some NAMBLA cabal?"

Isn't it some sort of super-serious felony to make plans to leave the country to commit what would be a sex crime here? I think I remember something like that on Law and Order: SVU, the surest source of on-point legal information.
