Prosecutors said Haspil had been hired as an assistant for Saleh, whose ventures included a ride-hailing motorcycle startup in Nigeria, but quickly began to siphon money from Saleh’s businesses.

This really plugs my drain, man. When I worked in payroll, I would've known it was dicey accepting gifts from employees or managers. And I was nobody, just an ordinary worker-schmoe.

Judges should be held to a higher standard, not no frickin' standard at all.

The article's use of "one's" is correct, but repeating the phrase twice within inches is, well, repetitive.

Hilarious is the first word that springs to mind, alongside heartbreaking. You know these bastards are going to make the wrong decision.

$200, eh? Yeah, I'll probably take my chances and skip any more booster shots.

I've only ridden the Empire Builder for one round trip, and there wasn't time enough for leisure like this, but now that I'm retired maybe there's time...
