The end of the King of Pop

So lovely, yet so heartbreaking.

“I just wanted to be loved because I think it is very important to be loved and to tell people that you love them and to look in their eyes and say it."

SC governor plans to return Wednesday from hike

Highly irresponsible. If you run for a public office, you have to accept the fact that your life is public. You are a public servant, and you chose to forego the luxury of putting yourself first when you took office!

Flood response angers residents

I have to side with the residents… They’re paying property taxes AND sewage fees… they shouldn’t have to deal with crap (pun intended) backing up in their basements! Water flooding is one thing, but as someone who’s had to shovel shit in her basement to get to the laundry machines (NOT in my very nice current residence), I can sympathize and say this is entirely unacceptable…

Woman calls 911, then allegedly keys police car

While a poor choice in retaliation, I can relate to her frustration. Cops pull people over in front of my parents’ house all the time, blocking one end of our circular driveway with their cruisers. Just because there are two outlets to our driveway, doesn’t give you the right to block it, pig. One sides for entering and one sides for exiting!

Jury rules against MN woman in download case

"Kind of ridiculous… There's no way they're ever going to get that," said Thomas-Rasset, a 32-year-old mother of four from the central Minnesota city of Brainerd. "I'm a mom, limited means, so I'm not going to worry about it now."

I’m glad to see she’d not losing any sleep over the fact that she purposefully broke the law… then didn’t have to good sense to settle for an astronomically miniscule amount in comparison to her sentence… way to set an example for those children you’re so concerned about!

DTV Answers

This is the problem with society... We tell people to be ready by February 19... when slackers aren't ready by February 19, instead of going ahead with the switch and living them SOL to learn their lesson we coddle them and say, 'Don't... worry, we'll hold off for a bit, you don't have to be ready until June 13.' Then, when they STILL aren't ready, after a four-month grace period we say, 'You still not ready... well that's fine because we're still going to broadcast our signal in analog.' Follow through on your promises/threats or no one is going to take you seriously any more... Why should slackers ever stop slacking if someone is always willing to pick up the slack?!Read More
