This really just makes me sad: Authorities in Philadelphia have arrested a man they say attacked a woman at a local subway station and threw her onto the tracks.

These guys just need killing in the worst possible way.  Right now. There is no doubt whatsoever that they killed an entire family brutally.  None.  They’re even admitting it now in way too much detail.  There is no point whatsoever in having a trial that lasts more than five minutes to announce how guilty they [...]

OK, here we go again.  Anyone that knows me knows what I’m about to do.  It’s happened too many times in the past.  Someone who should never have been allowed to repeat violent crimes is allowed to and someone gets hurt because of it.  In this case, it’s pretty amazing actually.  Everyone wants to blame [...]

Obama is going to Copenhagen after all, joining first lady Michelle Obama to support Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympics. Some people think this carries a political risk.  Rio seems to be the perceived frontrunner.  They’ve never held the Olympics.  So, this would be a first for the Olympics.  They like firsts.  Brazil has brought [...]

I recently took one of those drive-by polls on Facebook.  One of the questions it asked is whether I thought health care was a right or a benefit.  My only answer was “depends on who pays for it”.  I’m all up for doing everything I can to make sure health careis a benefit for myself [...]

A man in Buffalo, New York, beheaded his wife a few days ago.  “Experts” have been debating whether it was an “honor” killing or not. What’s the point?

Justice John Paul Stevens, a key vote in upholding the death penalty 30 years ago, now says he believes capital punishment is unconstitutional. He’s changed his mind over the years.  I haven’t.  What is cruel and unusual about punishing someone with the equivalent of the crime they committed?

A lot is being made of the recent data that shows about 1 in 100 US citizens are in prison.  People are debating the pros and cons of this as if it’s some kind of issue that the government’s at fault here.  Folks, I’m here to tell ya, the only people at fault are the [...]

I have the Social Security issue all figured out ( again ).  It doesn’t require cutting back benefits or raising taxes.  It’s simple too. Just expand the death penalty to include crimes that result in abuse or death.  That category would include molesters, drug dealers, and “insane” murderers.  Make it a lot simpler to enforce [...]

PETA sent this letter to the sheriff housing Christopher McCuin.  Chris is the guy who ate his girlfriend last week.  Literally.  Read it, it’s hilarious! January 10, 2008   Captain Gary Pinkerton, Jail Administrator  Smith County Jail   Dear Captain Pinkerton:   On behalf of PETA and our more than 1.8 million members and supporters, [...]
