Ah, just saw some juror testimony and it seems that because the prosecution couldn't prove cause of death it's not possible to prove murder. I'm not so much on the "lacking motive" part. Her motive would've been the same as that of any of these killer spawners: a kid cramps my lifestyle.

The prosecution/DA should have gone for "negligent homicide"...

She and the defense attorney both have the same agent now...this trial will prove to be a money maker for them both. And no "can't profit from a crime" statute need apply since she was deemed not guilty.

RIP Betty Ford.

And Rupert Murdoch...LOL!!!

Jackass.

Watching this fiasco in the House today with this futile, doomed bill brought forward by the "leader" of the Republicans...I'm just amazed that people with pitchforks aren't storming DC and demanding heads on pikes.

Plenty of lamp posts. However the people most likely to do it are the ones behind the problem (tea partiers).

To the people thinking Rick Perry is a wet dream for the Republican Party in 2012, here's proof:

That picture was taken on Main Street of my fair city, Fort Worth, Texas...Perry and the Mayor of our town were celebrating some sort of NASCAR event. Hopefully, it is a portent of things to come: the Mayor is no longer the Mayor.

The article is scary...it reminds me of all the ignored alarms raised about Grover Norquist's New American Century. The past few weeks in Washington DC seem to bear out the NAC is here to stay and that people took it very seriously, enough so that they actually ARE throwing the baby out with the bathwater, as Norquist suggested.

Earthquake hits Washington DC...President still on vacation. (News as Republicans see it.)

10137. judithathome - 8/26/2011 12:36:47 AM

Well...I guess if earthquakes and hurricanes can't get people posting, nothing can.

The news just makes me feel angry and impotent. I'm so sick of so much of what I hear. It depresses the shit out of me. It physically hurts me that we have so many ignorant, hateful motivated people and so few sane ones.

"The best lack all conviction while the worst are filled with passionate intensity"

10140. Wombat - 8/26/2011 8:56:41 PM

The answer is blowin' in the wind--this weekend, anyway.

10141. arkymalarky - 8/27/2011 1:02:30 AM

Hey did y'all come to AR?

10142. Wombat - 8/27/2011 3:04:39 PM

No, my daughter thought it a bit too far. We got as far West as Evansville, IN.

10143. arkymalarky - 8/28/2011 12:06:41 AM

Cool! You'd have been unhappy with the heat.

10144. Ms. No - 8/28/2011 6:35:57 AM

Arky,

Who said that? It's familiar to me, but I haven't heard it recently.

the center cannot hold....

It might be a useful exercise for the remaining Motiers to assemble and relate their thoughts, feelings, and impressions then and now, for the upcoming 10th anniversary of 9/11.
