Hillary's Stupid Move - Hits Obama On Prison Sentences As Courts Give Judge
2008-01-05 10:35:00 Senator Hillary Clinton is either desparate, totally out-to-lunch, or just plain stupid. I'm not sure which one. But Senator Clinton has decided to attack Senator Barack Obama on his opposition of harsh prison sentences, according to The Huffington Posts' Thomas Edsall and in an article that's not very detailed indeed. Remember the Feds just relaxed sentencing on drug crimes because the courts had a terrible race-bias problem where Blacks were being charged with more serious sentences for drug possession offenses than Whites, yet because of the rules, Federal judges had their hands tied.No more.So Hillary Clinton walks into this head first and gets a knock on the head. What she was thinking, I don't know, but it was certainly dumb. Clinton has long wanted America to think she's the person for African Americans, but like the whole deal with the HIV AIDS Bill she backed, people find that they long for the truth. The truth is that many of us hold Senator Obama in h...

Supreme Court: Judges Can Slash Crack Sentences
2007-12-10 18:43:00 The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal judges have the discretion to give “reasonably” shorter prison terms for crack-cocaine crimes to reduce the disparity with crimes involving cocaine powder. The 7-2 ruling represents a victory for lawyers who argued that crack-cocaine offenders were unfairly targeted under U.S. sentencing guidelines. Current federal penalties for selling 5 grams of crack cocaine can warrant the same prison sentence as dealing 500 grams of the powdered variety. The especially harsh prison sentences for dealing crack were established as a way to get a handle on the crack epidemic that exploded in the late 1980’s. The hope was that if dealers knew they could potentially spend the rest of their lives behind bars for dealing crack, they would stop selling it. The harsh laws may in some ways have helped to curb the crack epidemic, however, the program was largely a failure. We continue to build more and more prisons with no end in sight. We...

It’s the only thing in my life that I allow to be about me.→ She picked up a chicken finger and looked at me. “How do you justify the sex?” I put down my glass. “I don’t” I replied. I don’t pretend to be good. I am not a good man. I know the why. Unfortunately, I also know the why not. If I had a good heart, would I see it as an obligation?→ She looked over her margarita and asked me, “What do you think your purpose in life is?” My immediate thought was the Baltimore Catechism answer: “To know, love, and serve God.” And if I was a good man, that’s what I’d want. My intention has more attrition than that. I try to make it my duty to stand beside my fellow man and offer myself as a witness to the fact that...
List of Reduction Sentences for ESL
2007-11-18 03:14:00 "Reductions" are those reduced forms of words that native English speakers use when speaking. They are a major reason that non-native speakers say that American English is so difficult to understand, or that we talk too fast.I try to help help my students become familiar with common reductions. I have a list I found online called, "WEINSTEIN'S (1982) HIGH-FREQUENCY REDUCED FORMS." Even though it's from 1982, it's still the same way native American English speakers speak. In addition to the list that we go over, I also write some sentences in this "nonsense" language (how American English is really spoken) and ask them to tell me how they would be said in Standard American English. Here's a list of sentences I use for one of my exercises.Yer gonna wanna give ‘er ‘er medicine before ya leave.Didja wanna hava glassa wine with dinner?

Hamas Shortens Sentences if Prisoners Memorize the Koran
2007-08-08 20:49:00 From Jihad Watch: Wait a minute. Doesn’t Hamas want people not to read the Qur’an? After all, as Jim Guirard has told us, the jihadists engage in “deliberate misreading, ignoring and perverting of passages of the Qur’an, the Hadith and the Islamic Jurisprudence (the Fiqh).” And he must be right, no? After all, all sorts of powerful people in Washington listen to him. But consider this: if that were really true, would Hamas really encourage Qur’an-reading and memorization? Wouldn’t they be afraid that in the course of this study someone would discover all the true, peaceful teachings of Islam, and renounce Hamas and its targeting of civilians? Yet Hamas doesn’t seem troubled by that possibility at all. Hmmm. Powered by ScribeFire.
