Two too dumb to be criminals
Sometimes one may feel sorry for criminals. And in this case I do. Not because of their upbringing. Or any of the normal reasons one might feel sorry for a kid gone bad. I feel sorry for them because they are obviously too stupid to even be good petty criminals. I know, harsh words. Too bad. Several years ago, I was on my way to lunch, an [...]
Wow! Pilotonline doing something right!
I don’t get a chance to pat Pilotonline on the back too often but every now and then they do something right. Recently, they added some enhancements to the user experience by fortifying the comments sections on various articles. PilotOnline.com and HamptonRoads.com readers have yet another way to control comments they see on stories: You can [...]
PETA? Are you guys on crack?
Maybe someone (Norfolk PD???) needs to initiate an investigation at PETA Headquarters in Norfolk, Va. Because it is clear to me, that short of some sort of mental disorder, these folks must be smoking crack. Two stories in two days in the PilotOnline: Story One: PETA wishes Obama hadn’t swatted that fly during interview Norfolk-based grou [...]
Benefit for wounded Chesapeake Police Officer
I would love to see the Iron Shields of Virginia, L.E.M.C., Blue Knights, Believers’ Bikers, Patriot Guard Riders and any other biker group who values the sacrifice made by this hero show up and break some bread and help someone. This officer, along with Deputy Lokie Flythe of the Portsmouth Sheriff’s Office jumped into a situatio [...]
So what’s up at Western Branch High School?
I don’t know what’s going on at Western Branch High School but this seems a bit odd. Granted, it’s only two employees but… Police stopped Lance Trevor Eley near his home, in the 4500 block of High St. W., about 5:15 a.m. May 23, according to Det. John Doyle, a police spokesman. He was clocked on radar doing about 61 mp [...]
Legislators want to control television now…
Ok. So that’s not really news. We’ve all heard about the “Fairness Doctrine”. But this is a little too much. New York State Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, a Republican, is calling on the CEO of CBS to fire David Letterman for crude comments he made about Sarah Palin and her daughter. -=SOURCE=- While I think Lett [...]
Palin Perfect Response
After the perverted Letterman joked about Governor Palin’s daughter being raped in Yankee Stadium and the subsequent outrage, he made a non-apology on his show and invited her to the show. Governor Palin’s response? Perfect: “The Palins have no intention of providing a rating’s boost for David Letterman by appearing on [...]
Dead Tree Media – The Virginian-Pilot gets desperate
It would appear that The Virginian-Pilot is getting desperate to sell their paper product. Beginning Monday, June 8, Kerry Dougherty and Mike Gruss will concentrate their online work on their PilotOnline.com blogs. And you’ll now find their columns only in The Virginian-Pilot. -=SOURCE=- They have taken their “A” List columnists, Kerry [...]
Are our judges getting tired of it?
I am not sure if that is the case or not. But if you can take two different cases and a macro view of them, it may appear to be so. On November 20th, 2007, illegal alien Alfredo Ramos was sentenced to 40 years (16 suspended) for killing 2 Virginia Beach teenagers. (See PilotOnline). Today, a Virginia Beach man was sentenced to 35 years (5 suspend [...]
Government orders couple to quit holding Bible Study in their home…
UPDATE: This may just shape up to be a great constitutional fight. I would love to hear opinions on both sides of this situation. Attorney Dean Broyles of The Western Center For Law & Policy was shocked with what happened to the pastor and his wife. Broyles said, “The county asked, ‘Do you have a regular meeting in your home?R [...]
