While I don't agree with what these young ladies allegedly did there has to be some sense of proportion here.

A lousy three-day suspension for possibly being an accomplice to murder!

Wis. dispatcher suspended over mishandled 911 call

I really can't believe this:

MADISON, Wis. - A former Wisconsin emergency dispatcher has been suspended more than eight months after she mishandled a 911 call from a college student who was stabbed to death.http://enews.earthlink.net/...

I think the Operator should at least be fired. Maybe even Criminally charged.

If this is at all true, the Senate Democrats and Pres-elect Obama have (to quote my Late Mother) "torn their ass with me."

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/...

Hmm. Me? A PUMA? Not likely. I marched w/Golden Frinks as a boy. But this is HOMELAND SECURITY. Plus he would rule on Judicial appointments in "Chocolate City". Guys (and Gals) if you think for a minute that the world didn't watch this Election, you are kidding yourselves. If Pres.-elect Obama and the Sen Dems don't show strength now, then when? And who exactly (Putin, Ahmadinejad, etc) will think they are strong if they can't handle one Rogue Party member?

Obama's rise a compelling story
By PAULINE ARRILLAGA (AP National Writer)
From Associated Press
November 05, 2008 1:18 PM EST
"My presence on this stage is pretty unlikely," Barack Obama began.

"I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story ... and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even possible."

It was the speech that launched him. Obama was an Illinois assembly member seeking his first term in the U.S. Senate, given a shot at the national stage when John Kerry asked him to deliver the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

He had those in the crowd on their feet, cheering wildly, even as many of them - even as many of us - wondered: Who is this guy?

A "skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too," he told us then.

It appears the wind has changed direction once again.

By MATT APUZZO (Associated Press Writer)
From Associated Press
October 05, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Seven Alaska state employees have reversed course and agreed to testify in an investigation into whether Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin abused her powers by firing a commissioner who refused to dismiss her former brother-in-law.

There is no indication, however, that Palin or her husband will now agree to testify about the case, which has dogged her for the past several months and could hurt John McCain in the final weeks of the presidential race.
