Nothing like seeing something beautiful and rare in nature, and then killing it. We are definitely the superior beings.
On Judge enters race against Wisconsin chief justice

Janesvillean--Spot on!! Wisconsin Supreme Court ranks 6th in the nation with respect to other state supreme courts looking to the W.S.Ct. to guide their opinions. Justice Abrahamson can take a lot of credit for that. On the other hand, her challenger has more of a delusion, than a clue about the justice system--at least as measured by his press releases on the radio.

Between 7 and 8 a.m., there was about a 20 minute wait for Union Twsp. voters. My wife and I went through at about 7:35; I was number 65. There were at least another 35 people in line as we left. It went smooth, BUT....I think there were six booths total, but only 2 to 3 were being utilized at a time. Is this the "Help" part from the federal government in the "Help America Vote Act"??? Of course, this is nowhere near the 8-10 hours other states are experiencing. All in all, though, it was no burden, considering what is at stake.

And yet, with all due respect, Mr. Bliss played his 'owner's trump card', and ordered the endorsement of McCain. I am reminded about reaping and sowing....
On Parents say they were left in dark during lockdown

c-lover2--Don't miss my point: I would be too. I'm just saying that a comment like that doesn't help matters, only tends to inflame the rhetoric a bit. That's all.

Note to Danny Davis: Sign up for next p.r. course. Don't belittle parental concern for their kids by saying: "Quite frankly, if that means that some parents or some students in the community are inconvenienced, then so be it." Comments like that add lots of heat, and no light to a situation. Yes, trust the police to do their jobs--which they did well in this case. But don't raise the temperature by disrespecting parents' legitimate concerns for their kids.
On Poll: Obama ahead in Big 10 states

Minan--It was also felt, at the time (when travel was VERY difficult) that an electoral college system would be more likely to 'force' candidates to pay more attention to states with small populations. And, of course, this would also affect whether people from the small states would even bother to vote, since their small number in terms of population would make their input rather meaningless. Officially, the college (not actually a place, just a process) was adopted by our forefathers as a compromise between those who wanted Congress to elect the Pres/V.P., and those who advocated for direct elections by the people. Each state gets a number of electoral college votes, which is equal to the number of congressional reps the state has (add the number of senators (each state has two) plus the number of house reps., and that equals the number of electoral college votes each state has.) Good luck in your class.
On Wis. election officials call lawsuit 'power grab'

Piz--The law you are referring to is a bit more involved than just having i.d. It basically requires election officials to check voter registration info against government data base info, AND, if there is ANY discrepancy (even if it is an apparent typo), strike that voter from the list (the voter COULD cast a provisional ballot, but most just say 'to hell with it' and don't vote. Some local election officials have been accused of not letting people cast provisional ballots either.) In a test to see if the 'checking' system that J.B. supported actually worked, over 1/4 of the election officials themselves were struck from the list due to those kinds of typos. For example, if some overworked employee at D.O.T. spells your name AndersOn, yet it really is spelled En, your name would be flagged, and you wouldn't be able to cast a regular ballot. Hope this helps.
On Case against Evansville district dismissed

I can't wait to hear the twisted legal logic used to dismiss this case some day. Another confidence-inspiring example from the judiciary, at least based on the facts that we know. If there WERE 'game-changing' facts in this case, they sure weren't revealed or reported. It would be interesting to read the legal briefs supporting and opposing the sum.j. motion.

I can't think of any legitimate reason that, because of a genetic abnormality, the albino needs to be thinned from the heard. (However, based on some of these posts, there ought to be more thinning of some heards...). I have NO objection to bonding. I just think you could maintain all of the attributes of the bonding experience without the killing of a defenseless animal. And, btw, have you been watching the Arizona case of the 8 year old's confession to police about why he shot his dad???
