EVEN at a time when a torrent of words floods the world every nanosecond of ever day, the words of Mark D. Fefer of the Seattle Weekly were chilling, as befit the circumstances. You may have noticed that Molly Norris' comic is not in the paper this week," Fefer wrote. "That's because there is no more Molly.
Arcadia A novice politician and tavern manager who became mayor four months ago has generated a statewide buzz by promising to crack down on illegal immigrants in this Trempealeau County town, whose two big-name employers are welcoming an increasing number of Latino employees. In a letter in the local newspaper this month, John Kimmel, who runs the Detox Bar and Grill, said he would create an "illegal alien task force" to forward complaints to federal authorities, hold property owners accountable for renting to or allowing someone to live in the city illegally, make English the official language of Arcadia and regulate the flying of foreign flags.
TODAY, by executive order of Gov. Joe Manchin, West Virginia's underground miners will not produce their customary million tons of coal. By rough calculation, that's about $60 million in lost production.
Judge: Alleged Thomas shooter competent IOWA CITY - A judge ruled Monday that the man accused of gunning down a legendary Iowa high school football coach is mentally competent to stand trial.
Circus animals live a life of despair, loneliness and abuse. Taken from the wild or born in captivity through forced pregnancy, a baby is at birth or at a very early age, torn from its mother. Baby elephants are isolated in dark barns with concrete floors. Tethered for 23 hours a day where it cannot lie down but forced to stand, the baby is not allowed contact with its mother or even allowed outside to play. It has never had its mother's love or attention. The only world this baby knows is a world of pain, suffering and cruelty.
As I have mentioned in columns past, one of my absolute favorite things about summer is going to the ice cream stands that are only open during this time of the year. With the recent heat I have been making more trips to the local ice cream stand than is good for my wasted waist, but it has been a refreshing way to cool down a bit in the evenings. Also, I think black raspberry ice cream covered in chocolate jimmies is not a bad way to end a day.
If the mayor is forced to step down, who will stand to gain? Detroiters who did not vote for him, union groups like AFSCME Local 207 whose leader John Rheil has been in the news calling [KWAME M. KILPATRICK] a disgrace, and those who think he's not been a good manager of the city. Surprisingly, Rheil's own boss, Al Garrett, who heads the powerful 60,000-member AFSCME Council 25, has not said anything on the record about this issue. What is going on within the rank and file of this influential union body? We will not be rushed by anyone or anything," [Kym Worthy] said. "We will only be influenced by the evidence and the facts that developed and nothing, I mean nothing, else. Detroit attorney Reginald Turner, a darling of the corporate community (one of many said to be considering a run...
Chick-fil-A is going to tear down the former Famous Dave's restaurant building at Southridge Centre and erect a stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurant on the site. I believe it will be our first free-standing restaurant in Charleston," said Chick-fil-A spokeswoman Brenda Morrow. "We're excited about it. We've signed the contract. We'll probably break ground in late May. We're hoping to open early in the fourth quarter, which means October or November.
SARAH PALIN and John Wisniewski have something in common. They both bottom-feed off of people with bigger ideas. The former Alaska governor makes headlines, not public policy. In the debate over health care reform, now permanently dubbed "Obamacare," she helped spread the myth that the Obama administration would create death panels. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil," wrote Palin.
Like winery tourists warming up for a tasting, fourth-graders from the Charter School for Applied Technology listened patiently Friday as the "sommelier," Erie County forester Dan Ciszak, explained the ins and outs of making maple syrup. They learned how miles of new tubing attached to taps is once again drawing sap from a stand of maples on a Town of Sardinia hilltop down to the county sugar shack on Genesee Road, which has reopened six years after budget problems shut it down.
