A Chief’s Wife

September 30, 2011

but not this Chief’s wife wrote this.  Personally, I don’t think that there is a dime’s worth of difference between sarcasm and snark and that is her style in writing it.

Broken Justice System

September 26, 2011

Besides the total and gross mis-carriage of justice as far as Troy Davis is concerned, the justice system is broken. Here is the case of which I speak. After the first ‘snip.’ Alan Levine, a civil rights lawyer representing Post A Posr, a protester at the 2004 event, told the Guardian that he filed an [...]

More Scare Tactics

September 25, 2011

These statements attributed to Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are scare tactics on the scale of Dick Cheney or George W.

September 21, 2011

I don’t do book reviews. Kathy is the resident expert in that field and her reviews can be found here. This is more important than a review of a book that I either liked or did not like.

Update

September 19, 2011

Last month I wrote this.  What happened since I will summarize. She appears to have survived physically, for appearances, intact.  But her memory comes and goes.  At times she wonders what she is doing in the hospital and what happened to her hair. Her husband, on the physical side, not so lucky.  During accident, he [...]
