Spike,

After Heland taxes the shirt off our backs, will he let us keep his campaign T shirts?

S. Treaker

You missed the memo. The shirts are $50 and you agree to send Heland $50 a year for the rest of his life.

Spike,

Look what our nitwit mayor has to say to the world. Click Here to read what the NRA letter to the mayor said.

Spike,

"Oakland's police chief is making some dire claims about what his force will and will not respond to if layoffs go as planned. Chief Anthony Batts listed exactly 44 situations that his officers will no longer respond to and they include grand theft, burglary, car wrecks, identity theft and vandalism."

Drunk driving is not listed, but for the sake of argument assume that it is. If you pass out in your car with your car keys, you get a pass.

The police will be too busy to wake you up so you can call home for a ride. Some sacrifices must be made so all may enjoy the privileges of the elected who spent to create the mess.

"Media mogul Mort Zuckerman tells FOX News he helped write one of Obama's speeches."

When a media mogul writes a politician's campaign speech, what does that say about a free press serving a free people?

When laziness makes it easier to just run a candidate's press release as news without verifying accuracy, are free citizens served? Omitting the errors and illegal actions of those editorially endorsed by a news organization, is that any different?

It can't happen here?

Here we go again with that Eric Bell guy getting in trouble with the law as usual. This is the third time in less than a year he’s been in trouble with the law that involved alcohol.

The first time he knocked down a utility pole and drove his car into a home, ran off and was later arrested on some phony charge which in turn let him walk away from a drunken driving charge.

Just a short period later he was arrested for speeding and/or reckless driving with alcohol in the car and as usual he was under age and alcohol was involved in both incidents.

Now he’s been arrested again for carrying weapons, participating in a felony and public intoxication. Below is the For the Record piece in the 7/10/10 local paper.

6:29 a.m. 2000 block Jackson Street. Eric Steven Bell, 21, 1304 Navajo St.: carrying weapons, assault while participating in a felony and public intoxication.

Now this man is an habitual offender of the law and should be punished accordingly. The Burlington justice system has let him off with a slap on the wrist for drunken driving, possession of alcohol under age twice; so let’s see if there’s any justice for this time. I wonder if his dad’s employment had anything to do with his being let off for past offenses to terrorize the public again and again.

Carrying a weapon when committing a felony is a serious charge as was his drunken driving accident; so are there any bets on if he’ll walk again or finally get justice? I’m sure if his name weren’t Bell he’d have been in jail prior to this felony charge.

This man has a serious problem with alcohol and should be forced, if he hasn’t been already to take the cure and then face some jail time.

Letting this guy off on his first drunken driving charge was an injustice and insult to all those arrested and punished in Burlington for DUI. The justice system should apologize to all who have been humiliated and paid the price for DUI. I wonder who fixed his judgments for prior offenses that in turn let him continue to prey on the public because he, in all fairness never stopped drinking and had to have been roaming around just waiting for something to happen again and lucky for the public no one was killed by him. Those that let him walk in the past are just as guilty as he is and they should pay the price also.

The public should keep and eye open to make sure this man doesn’t roam the streets again based on his father’s employment with the city and that the judges involved this time pass judgment based on his crimes and not his name. If you do the crime you should do the time, says it all.

This is the last wakeup call before this situation gets terribly tragic.

"Megyn Kelly takes down liberal pundit Kirsten Powers in a heated debate over the Department of Justice's mishandling of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case.

Note how at the beginning of the interview, Powers says, "The guy wasn't really intimidating people" by the end she is saying "I didn't say it wasn't intimidation, don't put words in my mouth". Finally, she resorts to the "Blame Bush" argument."
