Defining Death 2008-11-07 07:34:28 As another state chose to allow physician assisted suicide earlier this week, parents of a twelve year-old boy are planning to battle one of the most renowned hospitals in the country to keep their son on life support.

Exhausting, Historical and Finally Behind Us 2008-11-06 07:02:47 Now that the newest president of the United States has been decided, we can once again watch national news channels without those frustrating three-tier tickers dancing across the bottoms of our screens and the familiar red and blue banners with up to the minute projections of the latest polls. Still, last night proved to be [...] Read more:Finally

Ethical Responsibilities 2008-11-05 07:06:19 I’ve made it a point to steer clear of the whole Casey Anthony insanity. Well, until yesterday. And today. But I couldn’t let the latest out of Florida go without a comment or two…or twenty. Jose Baez, as we know, is one of Casey Anthony’s lawyers. Unfortunately, recent stories have put him in a less [...]
The Power of One Woman and a Horse Race 2008-11-04 06:25:50 I don’t know what is more unsettling: a juror who clearly has some sort of mental or emotional problems who lied during the recent Ted Stevens trial or the fact the Alaska senator has taken advantage of this opportunity to further illustrate his “unjust trial” and reiterate his innocence. Right after the jury was excused [...] Read more:Horse
History, Politics and the Hot Factor 2008-11-03 07:45:10 In my efforts to have an adult discussion with my 18 year old son, who will casting his very first vote on Tuesday, I asked him who he planned to vote for. Hey - I can do that. It might be a no-no in social situations, but the rules don’t apply to family [...] Read more:History
An Eye for An Eye? 2008-11-26 06:04:00 As many of us are anticipating spending Thanksgiving with our families and friends, catching up on what the year’s brought and, if you’re from the south, justifying pecan pie, homemade fudge and seafood gumbo as a complete meal, we’re reminded that despite all of the gloomy news and ominous headlines of what the new year [...]
Bad Apple 2008-11-25 07:44:39 A California sex crimes prosecutor was charged on Friday with twelve counts of sexual crimes. This is one of the most disturbing cases of a sexual assault in recent memory. The fact the accused, Michael Gressett, is a twenty year veteran attorney also puts a different slant on this story. The woman who accused him [...] Read more:Apple
Another Court Battle 2008-11-24 07:14:25 There’s a saying, “What other people think of you is none of your business”. Virgie Arthur, mother of Anna Nicole Smith, is pursuing another court battle with Howard K. Stern and his sister. At one time, this lawsuit included Larry Birkhead, the father of Anna Nicole’s daughter. In short, she’s suing for [...] Read more:Battle

A Dependent Society 2009-01-16 07:28:15 Nearly 40% of Americans say they’ve suffered from mild insomnia at some point during the past twelve months. Not surprising, this number has increased with the stresses in today’s world. Ambien, the best-selling prescription sleep aid, has made its maker, Sanofi-Aventis, millions of dollars. Unfortunately, some users have also experienced sleepwalking, sleep eating and some [...] Read more:Dependent

Drastic Measures 2009-01-14 16:26:47 We all anticipated many problems and even personal devastation due to the downward spiral of the economy. Throw some greed into the mix, and you come up with the likes of Bernard Madoff and now Marcus Schrenker, who attempted to fake his suicide and then tried unsuccessfully to follow through with what might’ve been [...] Read more:Drastic

Inagurations and Priorities 2009-01-13 05:47:13 With the historical events during President Bush’s term in office nearing an end, we prepare for President-elect Barack Obama to take office. One of the most anxious decisions he’ll have to make is whether to end the war and bring the soldiers home. Many believe this will be his first priority. Others [...]
Breaking Cycles 2009-01-12 07:23:07 After seeing several different stories in different regions of the country in this weekend’s newspapers regarding child abuse (including yet another teacher who’s been charged with molesting one of her 12 year old male students) and drug abuse, I started thinking about the correlation with different problems that are wreaking havoc in our [...] Read more:Breaking

The Distasteful Side of Human Nature 2009-01-09 09:34:52 Recently, in another post, I wondered what the fascination was, or rather, why it was a fascination at all, with 911 calls that revealed the most rawest of human emotions. With recent news over the past several days, I’m now wondering why we’ve become such a morbid society as to want to see photographs of [...]
What’s Going on in Decatur, AL? 2009-01-08 13:28:23 Alabama is having a PR nightmare, and in at least one of its cities, they’re unfolding simultaneously.

That’s One Way to Turn Everyone Against You 2009-01-06 05:51:18 I’ve just been informed I’m fat, courtesy of Karl Lagerfeld. Apparently, the “zillions” of us who aren’t in size zeros should be dealt with before anyone accuses size zero fashion models as being unhealthy. If that’s not enough, he now has PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) as well as many support groups [...]
Wal Mart a Part of Civil War History? 2009-01-05 12:12:16 Gigantic retail company Wal Mart is once again at the center of a huge debate as it attempts to steamroll anyone in its way. In the crosshairs this time is a famed Civil
