However, after reading the headlines today about the US soldier who shot up Afghanistan civilians, I couldn’t help noticing an irony.
There is all this clamor to try this guy quickly and execute him, never mind his having suffered a traumatic brain injury. Yet this Major Hasan, who shot up Fort Hood while screaming Allah akbar, still hasn’t stood trial, and they are still debating whether he was insane, even with the clear evidence regarding his motive: slay as many infidels as possible.
So, we have a guy in a war zone who cracks, and he must be executed immediately. But this Muslim psychiatrist who was stateside in a nice safe office all day, murders 13 and wounds 29 of our own guys, and they try to argue the poor lad suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome, from listening to real soldiers who had actual battle experience. Two and a half years later, they still haven’t tried the murderous bastard!
What’s wrong with this picture?

"One other factor is the equipment that is available for snow removal. Due to the economy and the rarity of snow in Seattle, the city will not spend too much on plows or other snow-removal equipment. There are only 30 snowplows for the city that services 300 miles of streets."
I have lived in the Seattle area since around 1990 and if my memory serves we get snow every year and most of it is extremely heavy. True it may only be one big storm a season but nonetheless, it snows and the city should be prepared. I would say they should pony up and use other vehicles as well to remove snow. Hire out construction companies, waste management companies, and who ever, has huge dump trucks fit them with plows and assign them areas that need it. I mean after all apartments and private companies pay to have their snow removed why can't the city? Stupid!
