  • No longer a referendum on Obama

    A truism of American presidential politics is that elections involving an incumbent standing for reelection are driven almost entirely by voters' analyses of the performance of that president.

  • Obamacare (Romneycare) off the table

    Poor Rick Santorum could only shrug in frustration when he complained in the Florida debate about the supreme irony of the 2012 presidential race: Republicans made President Obama vulnerable two years ago by demonizing his health-insurance reforms and now they are about to nominate one of two men who cannot effectively use the issue against him.

Re: “Actress arrested for sending ricin letters to Obama

Never heard of this chick until now. I need to expand my horizons.

Re: “Police: NWA man bilked by woman posing as famous singer

People that take advantage of children and the elderly belong on the lowest Bunsen burner in Hell.

Re: “Arrest in Arch Street bank robbery

The last checks I wrote were to my nephew when he graduated and to the lady that cleans my house. I'm guessing that the only folks that write checks as a matter of everyday commerce are elderly folks like my Uncle Ralph and people that rely on the float.

Oh. And criminals.

Re: “What it's like to work at Hooters

I have a friend who used to do her kid's birthday parties at Hooters. She said they were great.

Really.

Re: “Coming: Behind-the-scenes account of 1980 Titan missile accident in Damascus, Ark.

I remember standing in the student's lounge at Tulane watching the news account. One of my classmates asked if I knew where Damascus was. "Yeah," I said. " I know exactly where that missle silo is. My grandparents live 10 miles from there."

Silence.

Re: “Medicaid payment reform may be reducing costs but legislature delays further implementation

The Bible has the answers, sure. But it depends on the question. I dont believe there is a Biblical solution to autism.

Re: “The crash of Martha Shoffner

I don't see sadness either. Every day the Lord sends the criminal justice incarcerates a whole slew of folks for serious stretches of time that never had the advantages Shoffner had. I understand that she is not exactly bent over with smarts. But there are lots of folks that are her equal in intellectual endowment. And they don't steal.

I'm not a hard man. Indeed, I am well known as a sucker for a hard luck story.

This is not a hard luck story. She sold her office in exchange for rent money. It was not hers to sell.

And that's why I don't remotely see a tragic dimension to this tale.
