Not the smartest move for a wanted cop killer...

I can't say I feel sorry for the guy. The last thing you should do when you're wanted by cops is to be uncooperative. Those cops had no reason to want him alive.

I'm glad the whole thing is over. Now if only Mike Huckabee had not let this guy out of prison... I think this might just be ol' Mike's Willie Horton moment.

Glad to see that the NFL isn't going to allow Rush to destroy a team for the sake of his ego. It would have been nice though to have one less team to worry about in the postseason.

Conservatives really are completely divorced from reality. Where exactly do they think Stephen Hawking lives?

Pope Benedict XVI strongly criticized atheism in a major document released Friday, saying it had led to some of the "greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice" ever known.

The Pope accusing atheists of causing some of the "greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice" takes some balls. The Papacy is responsible for the most violent acts of religious repression, the most horrible crimes against humanity, the worst violations of human rights ever experienced on earth. Most of the horrible torture methods in practice to this day were invented by the Church in an effort to find ever more painful ways of punishing Jews and non-Catholics.

Stupidity...

Has Palin never had private insurance? They don't care if you get care or not, in fact they benefit by denying you care. There are many examples of private insurance companies denying people care right up until their death despite that person paying for their insurance all their lives. I would much rather have a government bureaucrat handling my case unencumbered by profit requirements or corporate boards than I would a private insurance company employee who only cares about how much he can stiff you in order to give the CEO a bigger bonus and give the shareholders a bigger dividend.

Pathetic...

It's disgusting that this is happening in 2009, in Southeast Pennsylvania which is supposed to be rational progressive country. Very little has changed in this country.

What bullcrap. She's not the hero in all this. If anyone's a hero here, it's the media which didn't buy Sanford's staff's lies and dug up the truth about where he was. Sanford's wife enabled him just like everyone else. She knew, or should have known, he wasn't hiking the Appalachian Trail but instead of saying that she plead ignorance and said she didn't know where he was. She knew about the affair months ago and yet she didn't leave him, she hasn't even left him now that it's been made clear he continued the affair after she told him to break it off. She will probably never leave him and I don't consider that the least bit heroic. I know it's hard to find an example of a strong woman in the Republican Party, Republican men don't exactly value women for their brains, but give me a break.

John Roberts would have been 29 in 1984. He must have been fun at parties...

Even then he was evidently a huge stick in the mud.
