The recent shooting of three black men in Queens, New York by five cops has ignited outrage from the families and community leaders. Leo Terrell (I'm not sure about that last name) was on MSNBC this morning, and man, was he pissed, and rightly so. Here are two of his comments: "Every time black people are shot by police, somehow it's always justified." "Prosecutors need police, so they don't prosecute police." Mayor Bloomberg has called the use of force "excessive." It's been repo...

In the last couple of days, there's been a news report and video showing fathers fighting at a pee-wee football game. The kids are 5 and 6 years old. The talking heads say things like, "What kind of message does it send to the kids? It tells them that violence is the way to solve problems." Football is a violent sport. WTF do they expect? People get worked up. It seems kind of hypocritcal to me to criticize violence in a violent sport. I know none of the kids were fighting, but when older ...

NEW YORK - Conservative pundit Ann Coulter was front page news Wednesday for what she's written about some 9/11 widows: "These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities," writes Coulter. She's also under fire for what she said Tuesday in an interview with the "Today" show's Matt Lauer. "If you lose a husband, you no longer have the right to have a political point of view?" asked Lauer. "No, but don't use the fact t...
This morning on CNN, they asked viewers to email their opinions to the question: "Should there be a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage?" One of the replies said, "People who want to ban gay marriage say it's to protect families and children. I would believe them if there was a ban on rapists, child molesters and wife beaters getting married." Excellent point. On a side note, marriage is not a right. It's a privilege. That's why a license is required.

The airman was a passenger in a car that was chased by the police officer. Maybe the chase should have been called off.
