Trayvon Martin case: Hearing raises possible conflict of interest for judge
Fri Apr 13, 2012
- So, if you were white and walking home from a store, and a black guy is following you in a car, even when you try to evade him, and then finally confronts you - and if you were in Florida - and if you had a gun - wouldn't you have been free to shoot the guy under this law?
Limbaugh apologizes to student he called 'slut' for 'insulting word choices'
Sat Mar 3, 2012
- Apology? Really? Even if he were sincere (and who thinks he was?) it is too little too late. The Bimbaugh had Wednesday to reconsider, Thursday to reconsider (but piled on), and Friday to reconsider (but piled on even more).
Woman called 'slut' by Limbaugh is 'stunned, outraged'
Fri Mar 2, 2012

Wed Feb 29, 2012
- Reduce any aid package dollar for dollar by what they charge for "bail" - and do it permanently. Simple and clean, they set their own reduction in aid.
Hillary Clinton lambastes 'travesty' of UN veto on Syria
Sun Feb 5, 2012
- While disappointing, it is not surprising that Russia and China vetoed the resolution: two governments that have absolutely no qualms about killing their own people in large numbers to retain control. Assad frankly is just following their playbook.

Wed Jan 25, 2012

911 to teen mom who killed intruder: 'Protect your baby'
Wed Jan 4, 2012
- As others have noted: A 21 minute emergency call for help and the police couldn't get to her?! Think again before forcing further cutbacks in vital services. Thank goodness she knew how to protect herself.
Landlord fights 'White Only' pool sign ruling
Wed Dec 14, 2011
- Anybody who would put up a "White Only" sign is a wack job. As others pointed out, there are many other ways to deal with the "problem of hair stuff" that are not overtly discriminatory. Post a sign "Hair must be shampooed before entering pool" and talk to all her tenants about the need.
Flier, displaced by obese seatmate, forced to stand
Wed Nov 23, 2011
- I fly 50K miles a year, and you could not pay me to fly US Airways. Their of "US" in their name is slanderous to the USA. And as to their idiots who "responded for the company", if they were not reading the official company line, they should be fired for stupidity.
Good Graph Friday: To save on your electric bill, move to Utah
Fri Nov 18, 2011
- Actually the cost in Hawaii (Kauai at least) is closer to $0.43/kwh with all of the "hidden charges". Because so much of the power (the vast majority) is via diesel generators, we have a large carbon footprint, even though our annual usage is among the lowest in the nation (if not the lowest).

Soccerdog, sorry to say this but the Air Force is no longer number one in Aviation. The Navy pilots are flying circles around them. I am an old F-4 AF pilot.

Listen- I like your answer to each question. Especially the one about paying for use of the toilet on an airplane. That is exactly what happened on a plane that I was on . There was much turbulence and the lady asked and asked to go. Finally she just-went. That was a different situation,of course,but this is what would happen. I think the airline would change their policy-quickly.
