Who else can you sue, Mr. Hancock?
Friday, May 25, 2007
For some odd reason, the father of Josh Hancock has decided to sue based on the events that led to his son's fatal accident. Dean Hancock is suing the following people:
I don't understand this. Why would you put your son's memory on trial here? You are forcing someone to take a stance that it basically was your son's fault he got killed that night. I understand that I can not really understand what it is like to lose your son, but I am confident I would not act in this way. While you are at it Dean Hancock, why don't you sue the following people:
This was a tragic accident. Who can really say what caused it? Don't do this, Dean Hancock.

MO House Fair Tax Act of 2007
Wednesday, May 09, 2007
Edgar Emery (R) is sponsoring a bill in the Missouri House of Representatives that would require the Missouri Department of Revenue to develop plans to implement a state sales tax in place of state income taxes. Awesome idea.

Beer is going to hurt the NBA?
&nsbp I find it humorous that the NBA told Don Nelson, the Golden State Head Coach, that he couldn't bring beer into the post-game interview. This is the same NBA that had an All-Star Game in Vegas that just about out-Vegased Vegas.
Here's a good column from a paper in Long Beach, CA pointing out the overreaction in sports towards drinking after Josh Hancock's death, which probably had a lot more to do with the cell phone and the tow truck parked in the middle of a lane than alcohol.

Ignorant Sit-In Continues in St. Louis
Saturday, March 17, 2007
Students, parents, and I think a School Board member are still sitting in Mayor Slay's office protesting his support of a state takeover of the St. Louis Public School District. They have given a list of demands to Mayor Slay, which you can view here. I love how they say:
"Explain in writing why you are treating our district differently then other districts"
I didn't realize there was a comparable school district in the St. Louis area that was as dysfunctional as the SLPSD. I am pretty sure the SLPSD brings a new whole meaning to the term "dysfunctional".
I was under the impression that one of the main reasons for the sit-in was fear that the state yanking the District's accreditation would keep some students from going to college or getting scholarships. The University of Missouri-Columbia and several other schools have already come out and said that it wouldn't affect admission.
Pubdef.net is probably the best place for coverage of the ignorant protest. The best video has to be this one where the Post-Dispatch reporter (at about the 4 min mark) tells one of the students that they are lying about the University of Hawaii pulling a girl's scholarship. True, it probably wasn't the best way for the reporter to bring that fact up, and it probably wasn't the most solid way to research the accusation, but it makes for a funny end to the video.

Liberals Kill Captain America

I don't really follow comic books, but I don't like the fact that someone decided Captain America dies in the latest installment of his comic book series.
Critics Hate On Pizza Hut's Reading Program
Saturday, March 03, 2007
Here's an article I picked up from ksdk.com about how some ridiculous people are talking bad about Pizza Hut's Book-It program. How could you hate on a program that works like this: Read books--get free pizza?
The same people who want you to eat carrot sticks and celery all the time are saying that the program promotes bad eating habits. Others are saying that schools should be free of corporate sponsorship. Considering education in this country sucks and the government can't seem to grasp the concept of being fiscally responsible, what are we supposed to do? If we let the government be in charge of the program, you would only get a sticker and maybe a pencil for reading because all the money would be going to overpaid admin people.

T-roy B-log Locked As A Spam Blog/ Troy R-3 Lawsuit
Friday, March 02, 2007
So I log in today to Blogger to post an update on the T-roy B-log and find out that it has been locked because Blogger thinks it may be a spam blog. Funny, because you would think with a spam blog, I would be making money. Anyways, I was going to post this story about how Amie Twellman, the little girl who was hit in the head by a steel beam, is suing the Troy R-3 school district and some construction people for unspecified damages.
Rape Charge Dropped in Duke LAX Case
Friday, December 22, 2006
The rape charge against the three Duke Lacrosse players was dropped today. 2 B.S. charges are still on the table. Do you ever wonder what Mike Nifong, the DA in the case, does on a daily basis? Apparently not his job considering he just recently talked to the accuser for the first time. If this guy were in the private sector, I don't think there is any way he would hack it.
