DISQUS

Eric I ask you this why do you even dare to bring it up? I mean really you have even took at the facts before you are already accusing him. Lets look at the facts people two people are dead and nobody can speak for them. Another child was covered in blood when the police found him. What does this have to do with anyone's career of basketball. If he was that bad then his employers would have fired him. But that is not what is important here rebuilding a child's life. This child lost his mother and his sister at the same time. And he saw it lets keep with the issues please!

Janet Shan Wayne, thanks for your kind words. Yes, I also don't think Eartha Kitt was
appreciated in the United States as she was in other countries. She was
blacklisted for her position on the debacle in Vietnam. NOnetheless, we have
lost a great icon, who didn't compromise her beliefs for one second.

stephanie I agree with you about broadcasters reporting the news as it is, in a non biased way. Last night, Tweety was on Keith Olberman's show to give his response as a commentator. My whole house was like "Go 'head Tweety!!" Of course, when he's on Hardball....ask the questions. But in the case of his response last night, it wasn't from an "anchor's desk" so, it was cool.

CraigHickman Actually, social commentary such as this isn't partisan at all. It's American. It's what journalists ought to do in the face of some of the bullshit coming out of McCain's campaign.

Matthews will probably piss me off later today when he softballs one of the racist politicians he has on his show, but we must give credit where it's due.

heartsandflowers No sympathy for the devil!! Not when he's going to do whatever it takes to steal this election and add new members to the Klan to get elected.

Jay I guess they figured since she doesn't read their paper (or at least didn't mention them when asked by Couric) then she wouldn't notice the endorsement.

Ha!

Janet Shan Wayne, I hear you and that is also an argument I made in the post. There are too many people getting seriously hurt or killed as a result of being tasered. But I am really tired of hearing the criminal's families go on about how good their relative is. If he was that good he would have made his first brush with the law his last. But I hear you and I agree with you that walking down the street does not give cops the right to just taser someone. We really don't know what truly happened with this man and I have always said that there is a brotherhood among cops and they will not squeal on one another. I am not suggesting that they did anything wrong, but experience has taught us to react this way when the cops are involved.

ahynes1 Villager, thanks for stopping by. A friend of mine was at the Anti-Sarah Palin rally in Alaska. She was amazed at what a large rally it was. I'm glad that you're showing some of the pictures from the rally.

Lissa, the rabbits are from an agricultural fair my daughter and I went to a few weeks ago.
