Football Player Kills Pedestrian and Gets 30 Days
After all of the furor over Michael Vick and dog fighting, I'm stunned at the silence over the crime and sentencing of Cleveland Brown's player Donte Stalworth. Stalworth was sentenced to only 30 days for DUI/vehicular homicide. That is OUTRAGEOUS.

Vick did years for dog fighting. This man has ended the life of another human being and only gets 30 days. Ray Lewis was an accomplice to a murder and never did any time either.

I'm sick of the way our justice system plays favorites with athletes. If I killed someone I'm sure I'd get more than 30 days.

Oh, I know why there's no furor. To most "animal rights activists" and too many people in our society, humans matter a lot less than human beings...unless the human beings are criminals or terrorists.
Private Hospital Opening in Ireland - Promising US Standard of Care
Plans announcing a new, private hospital promises to bring hundreds of jobs to Cork. Read the following quote to find out the promise of something else that's even more fascinating:
“We bring with us the high standards of treatment that we provide in our Blackrock and Galway Clinics combined with the latest technology and practices from the US." Emphasis added.
As we move closer to government-dominated health care, we need to look at things more critically to make sure we don't destroy what we already have. I know you're being told that we have the worst health care in the world by President Obama and the Democrat leadership. The rest of the world knows that the highest quality care is found in the United States of America.
Girl Sues Tattooist for His Star Spangled Manner
A Belgian teenager is suing a tattoo artist whom she says covered half her face with 56 stars while she was asleep. See her face here. No way was she asleep with all of this happening.

I'd like to tell young people to stop it with the tattoos. You will get old one day. Do something that's less permanent. Just dress weird.
We're Stuck in Place, if Not Falling. China's Growing.
The World Bank is projecting China's 2009 growth to be 7.2%. But hey, we have a stimulus plan.

"When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every Americanwas to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
