L-E story: "Walter R. Holler, 51, had previously been held without bond on charges stemming from a crash that killed 18-year-old Natalie Elizabeth Windham. In addition to vehicular homicide, Holler is charged with failure to stop and render aid and improper lane change."-- In spite of the callousness of Holler, the real culprits are the exchange designer and Columbus Council members who accepted the design from the state.

You know, one way to cut the city budget would be for the police et al vehicles to be washed by our city jail inmates rather than by privately own services.

An online headline/story says: "Can Casey Anthony Get a Fair Trial? * Legally, she's entitled to one, but lawyers in the case are having trouble finding impartial jurors." -- Isn't this why lawyers are provided... a lawyer worth his salt would welcome a jury of people with preconceived notions, BECAUSE, if she's innocent, it's much easier to create doubt and get jurors questioning themselves when new ideas/evidence presented are contrary to the public's previous knowledge.

Online headline: "(AFL-CIO president) Richard Trumka Threatens To Abandon Democrats In 2012 Unless They Fight Harder For Labor" -- Yeah, right, like he's really going to support conservatives. Trumka really has no bargaining chips with DUMB&DUMBERats other than giving them extra funds to run scare voters to voting DUMB&DUMBERat candidates.

Israeli PM Netanyahu must be scratching his head wondering who this American-Yahoo is.

All we can hope for is that once Registe is sent to prison, he be put in a cell with someone who is serving a death sentence for some reaction to killing someone trying to hurt his family, and that the prisoner be told that Registe ducked the death sentence because Aruba wouldn't extradite him unless the death sentence was taken out of the equation.

L-E story: "Who knows how long it will last, but gas prices plunged as much as 26 cents per gallon overnight at stations in Phenix City and outlying areas in Alabama. * On Thursday, the price of a gallon of regular unleaded was $3.69 at the Crown convenience store at 911 Broad St. in Phenix City. Friday morning? How about tanking up for $3.43 per gallon? -- Hmmm, GA has the lottery, and Phenix City has Sunday beer sales and $3.43 gasoline. Looks like Phenix City will win the weekend.

Once a week or twice a week garbage collections? I like twice a week and so do my neighbors. Who wants to draw a Thursday or Friday only pickup day if you have had a paryy at home on the weekend?
---
Got a message from Mayor Mother Teresa Obamalinson saying she doen't want to reduce the current garbage fee that was tacked on to pay for the second day pickup if she gets Council to OK single day pickup BECAUSE the city has to replace 18 garbage trucks. Granted, 18 garbage trucks haven't gone bad during her 4 month reign, but why has Council/City Manager allowed the recently retired head of Garbage to let the fleet fall into such poor condition?
---
The claim that Columbus is out of synch with reality is because it's one of few cities that have twice a week garbage pickups is a cop out. I remember visiting my grandparents in Goldsboro, NC as a child, and not only did the garbage get picked up twice a week, the garbage crew actually went to their backyard, retrieved the garbage cans, then returned the cans to their "up right position".

From the 'it's not one world' department - L-E story: "DAYTON, Ohio — An Ohio woman convicted of killing her month-old baby daughter in a microwave oven was spared the death penalty and sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole. * Prosecutors say China Arnold, 31, of Dayton, intentionally put 28-day-old Paris Talley in a microwave and turned it on after a fight with her boyfriend. * The couple had argued over whether the boyfriend was the infant’s biological father." -- How could any jury prolong this person's fate with death!

L-E headline/story: "Man accused of exposing self to bus full of children * (Sgt. Mark) Rogers said. “We put a few officers on the bus to see if we could actually see it happen, which we could not, and we got a warrant.” -- Huh? While it's good to get reprobates off the streets, on what basis would any judge issue a warrant if this lack of observation is what happened?

People who look for racial tones/implications in every aspect of their lives are not looking for a cure or solution. They are just interested in keeping their heads buried in the past.

Government red tape is at it's epitome when the issue is whether a drug to kill death row prisoners was obtained by "prison officials circumventing the law to obtain the supply". -- Reread the quote-end quote phrase... Why is the method of obtainment an issue at all? Why is there any concern over obtainment of such drugs? Lets go back to taking death sentenced criminals straight out of the court rooms and execute them on the spot by firing squad or hanging. Enough of this pandering as to whether death sentenced criminals should have dignity or mercy.
