Although there has been a lot of news this week, I have some observations about some of the news behind the things you may have read, heard or watched. We Shall Overcome Stupidity Although Judge Greg Scott freely admits he was wrong to grab the arm of Judge Tonya Walton Pratt during a dispute over […]

I kicked myself in the butt for missing the Mayor’s State of the City Address yesterday. I had to teach and couldn’t cancel class. However, I did set my DVR to record it and watched it later. I will give the Mayor credit for being eternally optimistic about the city’s future, but when you think […]

Tomorrow will be very busy. A racial discrimination complaint will be filed against Lawrence Mayor Deborah Cantwell. Former Coroner John McGoff is going to challenge incumbent Congressman Dan Burton in the 2008 election. I’ll have his comments. I’ll also ask if the Colts are turning into the Pacers?

The Government has decided that once again it has nothing else better to do but make it a crime to sell violent video games to minors. The Senate Economic and Technology Committee passed a bill 5-2 that would make it a crime to sell or rent a violent video game to a minor. A retailer […]
