Incredibly brave...truly, incredible. “Officer Bamford and I come back around to the passenger side and we basically climb inside the car and then start, both of us together are able to unwedge this guy from the driver’s side and then pull him out,” Copeland said Well done, indeed.

Why do not you try a cross over bridge for tax paying public? Perhaps cost; dunno. Personally, I think this should have been one of those 'no brainer' when the courthouse was being built on Myrtle. However since it has been now - good.

Yeah although my comparison with Sandusky might be a tad different than yours; we'll see. It's part of the jock culture that was assailed when the Sandusky thing first broke. I think many of us have seen it for years. Allegedly, for about the last three years, team members traditionally rode the bus naked and acted out in ways parents described as, molestation, hazing and sexual abuse -- all of which occurred with the coaching staff's knowledge. So it's molestation, hazing, and sexual abuse by teen-aged boys with & to other teen-aged boys. Was it supervised BY the coaching staff ? Probably not, hopefully. Sanctioned - possibly, how much did they know? There's the need to be proactive and I think charges are pretty d*mned apt. This is totally unacceptable - most especially that "keep quiet" bullsh*t. It's something we've absolutely stressed with our kids, nieces/nephews, and grandkids - people who care about you don't tell you things like that or ALLOW things like that to be performed or tolerated. Like one father said: This sports thing is a privilege," said Scott Jungertt. "Acting like that, you are done. I'd pull my kid from the team until that coach is gone. 5:1 he's gone soon.

Succinctly: Wood, R-Burley, argued it imposes the religious beliefs of employers on their workers; would likely result in a costly, losing legal fight against the federal government; and is so broadly written it could be used to erect costly barriers to prevent women from receiving appropriate treatment for debilitating ocular migraines and endometriosis, among other conditions. Wood - a Republican....a physician.... And then there's this remark from Rep. Bilbao: I do not know whether it's going to be a pill used to end life or fix a medical problem. When I think it is wrong, it is wrong whether you like it or not. That is for you to judge.” When I think it is wrong, it is wrong whether you like it or not. Seriously? It's none of your business - period. But I totally understand because I don’t know when ya take your penis out of your pants whether it’s to pee, have sex or what. So, I say - let’s control THAT thing before it gets out of hand, shall we? You want to play this game. This sh*t isn't go to play much longer before women rise up. We've been down this path too, too many times before. The ReThugs have NOTHING so they use women as a battering ram in the so-called 'culture war.'

Let me see if I have this correct.... To celebrate a religious festival to - St. Antony - the patron saint of animals..."Large balls of flaming wax are traditionally affixed to the beasts' heads before they are let loose to rampage through squares and narrow streets..." Really? And this is something St. Anthony came up with and/or would sanction? Let's affix "large balls of flaming wax" to a man's head to "rampage through squares and narrow streets." But how sweet, the bulls aren't killed at the end of the this rampaging night of hilarity.

You're no different than he. It's in the mindset. You, however, think your reasoning is more sound because you want to punish him for - now - killing a 3 month-old baby, but it's out of the same testosterone fueled mindset. "There are only a handful of humans that could harm an infant like this." Nu-uh...I've seen such cases since the age of 21 when I began working as a rad tech and that case was even younger than this poor 3 month-old.

Here ya go: It is not your right to force your intellectual and spiritual inferiority on the rest of the American people. . This is the second capitulation of Lowe's to the AFA (although this action is specific to the Florida chapter) within the past 5 years. The first had to do with labeling Christmas trees as 'holiday trees' online, etc., 2007, I believe. The Christmas tree is NOT part-n-particle of any christian-based tradition so why they'd even care truly escapes me. As for this, shop locally owned. Simple as that.

See how it works, Governor Walker. And too bad our own representatives don't see how it works.
