Check it out:Concerned neighbor in a nice neighborhood sees 2 men trying to force their way into then front, then the back of a house across the street from hers. She does not recognize the men.Concerned neighbor calls 911 and reports her observations, which appears to be a potential burglary.Police respond to concerned neighbor's 911 call and arrive at the subject house. 2 men respond to the

True Racism is bad, for sure. Alleged racism as a means to promote an agenda is disgraceful.If a minority acts inappropriately and is punished... does that make the punisher a racist? Do some authorities adjust their punishment of minorities for fear of being labelled a racist?For example, I wonder if we will hear the back story to this row ....Pa. to investigate pool discrimination

(Encore Article From 2008)Happy Memorial Day Folks. 3 day weekend, right? Kind of like MLK Day perhaps? Here's wishing for a little more Memorial in your Memorial Day...Since 1868 Americans have - or should - honor the memory of U.S. armed Forces killed in action, as a result of their combat wounds or that died while a prisoner of war. Traditionally, we are supposed to fly our flags at half staff

Who watched the President say farewell to the nation last night? Not many it seems.This morning's arm chair quarterbacks are criticizing him or underplaying his description of the troubled economy and for overplaying his role in the war. Of course they are in the news-selling business so it would be expecting too much for them to just be "okay" with whatever the soon-to-be-former President said,

Close followers of the scattered musings of Daddio's Daily Dose will remember the story recently of Honesty Knight, the mental midget who lit up a joint front of the po-po. Her consequence for that choice will cost her time and money. And with a name like that, I assume it will also cost her in time away from her pole dancing too, but that is a story to explore for perhaps another day.Today's

Howdy friends. Let's piece together a little common sense today shall we?Judges are the designated arbiters of truth and justice; ergo, what is right and wrong. Senators? Eh, not so much.Second, judges may or may not get paid what they are worth, just like you, me and the man on the moon. In any instance, judges who serve in the public sector should probably not expect to be paid what lawyers of

One-person-one-fare.
