Stolen Tags, Stolen Gas

A friend sent me an email today, alerting me about a disturbing new trend, and I just had to share it with you.
The high gas prices are, it seems, leading some people to the back end of your car. Stealing license plates, putting the tags on their vehicles, then filling up and driving off […]

Too Close To Home

It’s been a year now since the slaughter at Virginia Tech. Six and a half years have passed since 9/11. I rarely think anymore of that early morning at the radio station when two of my employees were standing in the middle of Main Street, butt naked, being hosed down by the fire […]

Gold Rush!

Wow!  Have you checked out the price of gold lately?  It’s now selling for more than $1,000 an ounce!
I’ve never been one to wear a lot of jewelry, so I really don’t own that much, but what I do have is the good stuff.  I’m seriously considering scrounging around for some busted up chains to […]

GUILTY!

The Summit County jury has returned its verdict, and Bobby Cutts is guilty on all charges — sort of.
He was convicted of the lesser included (simple) murder charge on Count One, the death of Jessie Davis. This means he can NOT receive the death penalty for this count. It also means the jury […]

Waiting For Justice For Jessie

Well, I guess it’s about to come full circle.
I told you here about first finding out a few details in the case of the murder of Jessie Davis. Court TV Tru TV has been televising the capital murder trial of one Bobby L. Cutts, Jr., the father of Jessie’s unborn baby girl Chloe […]

What A Waste

I wasn’t shocked, but I was deeply saddened to hear this morning of yet another political assassination.
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto knew her life was in extreme danger when she returned from exile to her homeland in October.  Extremists tried to kill her on the very day she arrived.  While she escaped injury then, […]

Spring Forward, Fall Back

Stephen Colbert says now that Halloween is over, it’s Christmas.  There’s a lot of truth in that.
First, though, it’s time this Saturday night to “fall back” for those of us living under Daylight Savings Time.  I, for one, always look forward to the switch back to Standard Time.  There’s something rather comforting about getting the […]

Poetic Justice?

It looks like OJ Simpson might just be on his way to the pokey — and for a good long time.
Two of the his co-defendants have already turned State’s evidence and will no doubt testify against Simpson in connection with that memorabilia armed robbery in Las Vegas. If he’s convicted of all the […]

Vick Strikes Again

The Michael Vick disintegration continues.
Why, if you know you have to submit blood or urine tests before being sentenced for a felony conviction, would you smoke pot?  Is this man really that stupid, or does he just honestly believe that he’s not subject to the same rules as the rest of us?
His mea culpa back […]

Throw The (Good) Book At Him!

I’m so glad that jury in Utah has convicted Warren Jeffs of conspiracy to commit rape.
Now that “The Prophet” faces five years to life in prison for forcing a 14-year-old girl to marry her 19-year-old cousin, and now that the husband has also been charged, maybe folks will begin to understand the abuse that goes […]
