Ohio Governor’s Budget Could Force Local Town To Privatize Fire And EMS Services

Ohio Governor’s Budget Could Force Local Town To Privatize Fire And EMS Services:

Clearly, Republican Governor College has a class, in which Govs. Kasich and Christie sat in the front row, that teaches how to give the illusion of cutting state expenses by passing them off to hard-strapped local municipalities while cutting taxes for the wealthy.   Hocus-Pocus 101?

The Very Disturbing Case of Trayvon Martin

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/17/opinion/blow-the-curious-case-of-trayvon-martin.html?_r=1

"Stand Your Ground" laws plus legal handgun proliferation inevitably spell trouble.  A black teenager looks "suspicious" to a neighborhood watch of a gated community.....


Florida’s self-defense law, known as Stand Your Ground, grants immunity to people who act to protect themselves if they have a reasonable fear they will be killed or seriously injured.
“Stand Your Ground is a law that has really created a Wild West type environment in Florida,” said Brian Tannebaum, a criminal defense lawyer in Florida. “It allows people to kill people outside of their homes, if they are in reasonable fear for their lives. It’s a very low standard.”

George Clooney released after arrest at Sudanese embassy

George Clooney released after arrest at Sudanese embassy

 Isn't it enough that George Clooney is suave, smart and rich?  Must he also now stand up for important social issues?  Does he really care about the Sudanese, or is this just a conspiracy to make all "average", and even "above-average" men feel inferior about their looks, social skills and, now, moral integrity?!?!  In truth, congrats, George, for taking an important stand on and important issue, and putting your commitment into action.
