I read this morning that the LA fires are 38% contained but they have burned 226 sq miles and dozen of homes. It has cost billions to fight these fires which were said to be started by arson. I think Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger needs to get into his terminator mode and put an end to stupid people who do these kinds of things.
I read a headline this Morning about the NC man that made phone calls threaten Obama’s life was sentenced. I was glad someone finally had received justice for threatening our President. But when I read the story the guy got suspended sentence and probation.
I have been very upset over the lack of people being prosecuted that are threaten our President especially since last week while Obama was here in AZ and protesters were openly carrying around assault rifles..
Back in April a Texas man who had made threats against Obama also got probation….Isn’t Texas where they ‘Try um and fry um?’ Of course that is Bush country…
Back in Feb the New York Post had that awful cartoon about the dead chimpanzee and a reference to the writing of the next stimulus bill. The NYP said it was not meant at Obama…If the NYP can openly write smut like that I can see this country has a big problem….
And what ever happened to those good ole boys from MO or AR that dressed up in the white tuxedoes and loaded in a car going to ‘get’ Obama while he was running for president? Remember them? I need to follow up on that one.
It was just this week a preacher from right here in Tempe AZ openly preach he prays Obama will die. I'm glad I do not go to that church...
In June a woman in Lexington named Fisher was threatening to kill Obama and bush saying, "In reference to President Obama, she stated 'somebody's going to eventually threaten to kill President Obama. It might as well be me,' I can’t find anything that happened to her.
I am sick of all of these threats and the people need to be fully punished and perhaps this would help to put an end to all of this foolishness…..I think we should start with the press..And the Preachers….
I also read more about Diane Schuler, the New York woman, who drove a van filled with five children the wrong way down the parkway, was drunk and high on marijuana at the time of the accident. Her family is still denying she had a drinking or drug problem and they want her body exhumed to test further. There were three men in the van she hit and killed and some of their family members are trying to sue Schuler’s husband…..I don’t see any deep pockets here, they might want to re think this one….
Michael Jackson is finally in the ground. There are so many things I could say about this…But instead I will just say I am sure his Mama is glad.
I went to google to try to find some ‘funny’ news to add to the bottom of this post, but I could not find anything….Maybe I need to look in the NYP for a cartoon….

Right there is the problem, they get slapped on the wrist and let go. If they are given a sentence, carry it out, make them do the time. If a person knows, they get a slap on the wrist, they'll do anything. I've noticed especially parents that kill their own children, don't get much time in prison, why is that, is their little lives not as important as an adult?
Helen, I'd almost bet that if you were alive in the day, you would have defended Hitler til he shot hiself in the head.
Thought provoking post.
Have you also noticed the visciousness of emails lately? Some that were my friends and while were never on the same page politically, are now so far right, they are out of sight. The raceism they had hidden for years is now boiling over.
The rational minds still out number but it only takes one screw loose. I have quit just deleting nasty mail. Now I ask people I have known for years to take me off their lists. Sad times.
