I care for kids, families, the sick and the elderly, working class, middle class, and every American. To end poverty and advance the American Dream, I am Libertarian Girl.
If it’s true that Dr. Bruce Ivins, a biodefense researcher at the Army’s Medical Research Center on Infectious Diseases in Frederick, Maryland, orchestrated the 2001 anthrax attacks to further his own career and funnel more federal funding toward the study of his speciality, anthrax– and to himself– it perfectly illustrates what I have previously said [...]
Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was indicted today for taking money from a company to remodel his house.
I have two thoughts.
1.) Good riddance.
2.) Who cares?
Most of our members of Congress do worse things than this on their jobs every day. Shouldn’t voting for unconstitutional bills and amendments be an indictable offense in and of itself?
This is [...]
As he did so many times as Governor of Texas, President Bush has given the go-ahead to an execution. This time, it will be a court-martialed member of the Army, Ronald Gray, who murdered two people near Fort Bragg in 1988.
I can’t say I was surprised to see that Ronald Gray is black, even less [...]
I recently watched the ’70s movie Serpico, which is not a Mafia movie as so many Pacino movies were then, but a true story about a New York City police officer named Frank Serpico who happened to be pretty much the only cop on the force not taking bribes from criminals– or at least the [...]
I usually don’t get as involved in a sensational news story as I did this week following the murders of Eve Carson, the UNC-Chapel Hill student body president, and Lauren Burk, an Auburn freshman. Both girls seem to be similar to me and my friends in so many ways, Eve lived in my town, and [...]
It wasn’t enough that the Governor’s Mansion the Illinois taxpayers so kindly provide to their governor wasn’t enough for Rod Blagojevich, and he thought every Illinoisan should be happy to pay to fly him in a private plane every day from Chicago for a few hours while he basically does nothing (or maybe sees fit [...]
For those who think that our current laws are not tough enough on crime, death penalty and all, I found this in a newspaper in a section that recounts the news from 100, 50, and 25 years ago.
“50 YEARS AGO: Local prisoners on the state’s list of pardons and parolees included _____ ______, who had [...]
Today marks the sixth anniversary of the opening of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba, which is holding suspected terrorists, or “enemy combatants” in government-speak– some of them even Americans.
I think Guantanamo should be closed, for a few reasons. It seems to be a way of just holding people without letting us ever put [...]
I live less than a mile from Elizabeth and John Edwards. All three of us are currently in Iowa campaigning for presidential candidates– they of course for Edwards, and I for a far superior candidate.
While reading the latest issue of The Economist, I noticed Elizabeth Edwards trying to give out some pearls of wisdom regarding [...]
I came out of the grocery store last night and found that some jerk in either a truck or an SUV had hit my car and left.
The police officer who came to the scene was one of the nicest I’ve ever met. I thought it was weird when he asked if I had a weapon [...]
