Should She Have Known?
This story is appalling to me. In a nutshell, Shannon texts Kyle while Kyle is driving. Kyle returns the text while still driving, and swerves the vehicle, hitting David and Linda, who were riding a motorcycle. David and Linda each … Continue reading

Because ‘hold them accountable’ is Too Hard

Trouble in Wisconsin…how do you weigh in?
I don’t want to get all “political” on anyone or start a big war. Let’s even leave politics out of it. How do you feel about what’s going on in Wisconsin with the rioting and the senators all leaving the state to avoid voting … Continue reading

Gotta Pay to Play
This story is sad and appalling. Gene Cranick lives in rural Tennessee, where there is no fire protection district, like many of us are accustomed to. His taxes do not go to support the closest fire department, but that department … Continue reading

It’s about being neighborly
There are so many issues surrounding the proposed Community Center/Mosque, called “Cordoba House” near Ground Zero that I don’t know where to start. A list seems like a good idea, as the issues pop to mind: It’s very close to … Continue reading

I must admit, I’m torn on this one. In the past few days, there has been some discussion about the AP running a photograph of Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua “Bernie” Bernard, injured and dying. According to this story, there was … Continue reading
