Re: “UPDATED: Shoffner charged with pie-box delivery of kickbacks from securities salesman; released after hearing”
Now the timing of the arrest makes a lot more sense.
Re: “UPDATE: FBI confirms State Treasurer Martha Shoffner's arrest, apparently for official misconduct”
I also wondered about the timing of her arrest and considered that there might be others whom she can implicate if she could be "convinced" to do so. Maybe the weekend in the pokey is all officials figure she'll ever spend behind bars -- for whatever reason. Either that or she has one lousy lawyer.
BTW, ok72076, I doubt that most people think age should be a get out of jail free card. But if it is, tell me the magic age. I can probably dredge up a score or three I wouldn't mind settling before I breathe my last. Well, now wait ... might be a few old folks out there who feel the same about me.
Re: “Remember Jon Hubbard? He hasn't mellowed”
Like visions of sugarplums or some such dancing in my head, I read Hubbard's rant and thought of gulags and re-education camps for the likes of him.
But (siiigh) such camps have never worked. And even if they did, no matter how bloodthirsty I seem this morning, I wouldn't advocate them, if for no other good reason than the "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" argument.
I think -- I hope -- that sets me apart from him.
Re: “Practicing law with Bro. Rapert”
So send Brother Rapert and company -- no, no, not the state! -- the bills for all the medically unnecessary procedures.
It's time to run these jerks out of country. We've come a long way from 40 years ago when I had to have my husband's permission and signature to have a tubal ligation, but we've still got a long way to go.
Here we are allowing ourselves to be pushed back to the "keep 'em barefoot and pregnant" era.
Too bad people still can't get it through their thick heads that the issue relates solely to the woman and her body prior to non-viability. I'll add that, in my opinion, there may also be good reasons for a woman to seek an abortion beyond the point of non-viabilty. That's a decision which should be made by the woman and her doctor to the exclusion of the usual busybodies.
Re: “The 2013 legislature closes quietly”
Now if we could just close the gate to those who regularly trek back to the Capitol between sessions with the primary -- if not sole -- purpose of putting a few coins in their pockets.
Re: “NTSB recommends lower threshold for DWI”
Well, I don't know what I'd blow after two glasses of wine, but finding my bedroom and not falling over a cat is a major issue. No way I would consider myself a designated driver even if my friends did. Short and sweet: don't drink anything and drive.

Re: “UPDATED: Shoffner charged with pie-box delivery of kickbacks from securities salesman; released after hearing”
"But the women is darn near 70 years old."
So? Still wet behind the ears, are we?
It's probably it's a good thing you haven't shared that attitude with some of the old ladies I know. Tough old birds for the most part -- although I have to add, I believe every one of 'em has a lot more sense than Martha Shoffner appears to have.
Now consider yourself slapped with a wet dishcloth by someone who's fast closing on that ghastly, not-to-be-believed, definitely over-the-hill, one-foot-in-the-grave birthday.
