Duke Arrests

Two arrests made in the Duke Lacrosse scandal. This has become a huge story, one that maybe is getting more attention than it should. With no confirming DNA evidence, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. It’s interesting to note (for a cynic) that the DA is up for reelection this …

Ugh

The loony left often complains that the loony right calls them unpatriotic but it”s hard to be sympathetic to their complaints when they do everything possible to support it. That article is so filled with rubbish and simpleton talk that it”s hard to know where to start in. It”s rare to find so perfect an …

TABC Suspends Arrests Inside Bars

The only surprising thing about this is that it took so long. Arresting people inside bars who “appear” to be drunk (no objective tests were ever given) is insulting and silly. In one case, a man was arrested at a hotel bar, the very hotel he was staying in. Clearly, the goal of this operation …

Signs of the Apocalypse

911 operator tells boy to stop “playing on the phone” when he calls to report his dying mother. Mother eventually dies. Operator will probably keep her job because she’s in the union. Sick. 82 year old woman gets ticket for crossing street too slowly.

Another DNA Exoneration?

No DNA match in the Duke lacrosse fiasco. Assuming the prosecutor follows through on his attempt to file charges sans DNA evidence, this isn’t over yet but all signs are pointing to the lacrosse team being exonerated. This has been a messy situation, one in which it seems guilt was assumed all along. This was …
