Online headline: "Ron Paul Says He Might Not Support His GOP Rivals" -- And? I haven't seen him even support himself in a positive manner.

From L-E column: "No doubt, poverty is a huge problem in Columbus. Eliminate poverty and you’d have brighter students, happier teachers, a stronger educational system, a better-equipped workforce and lower crime rates." -- Is the glass half full or half empty? Poverty itself doesn't weaken the education system; education is supposed to be the route out of poverty, and it's up to the parents and teachers to convey this. Unfortunately, government is/has tried to take over being the parent of poverty students, and is failing miserably.

The Insight Bowl gave us a rare event last night (2 events if you count the camera collapse). The Iowa QB threw an interception, then was called for unnecessary roughness with a late hit during the tackle.

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — The Obama administration hopes to restore momentum in the spring to U.S. talks with the Taliban insurgency that had reached a critical point before falling apart this month because of objections from Afghan President Hamid Karzai, U.S. and Afghan officials said.

L-E story: "TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Scientists want to know if an underwater cannon can protect valuable Great Lakes fish from a greedy predator. * The round goby is an exotic species that hangs around spawning beds, gobbling up eggs of native varieties such as lake trout and whitefish that are important to the fishing industry. " -- This already sounds like another government snafu, but why this, now? Why didn't the government try to run off the little fishes that shut down the California water supply to farmers' irrigation equipment?

What good is an incarceration system/sentence if it isn't adhered to? There's a man pictured in the DUI section today that was arrested for his 2nd DUI in May, and sentenced to 180 days in jail. Further down is the same man arrested for his 3rd DUI less that two months later. If he'd served his sentence, he wouldn't have been out and getting arrested a 3rd time (only God knows how many times he was driving without getting arrested). Just saddens and reminds me of the death of a neighbor's son about 18 months ago. The driver of the car he died in was sentenced to 52 weekends in jail only a few months before the accident. What would be the situation today had the young man served all those weekends as sentenced vs being out early and back behind a wheel?
