I am always interested in hearing about the unique and this fits that billing perfectly.  It started with a teenager that drove his truck into a tree.  The crash killed his passenger and police say that the teen admitted to drinking.  While his blood alcohol level was below the legal limit, he was underage and police acted on that to charge him with the crime...

The Carmelo Unified School District says they don't comment on pending litigation.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has said there is a place for the blame in the closing of Hostess Brands and the end of Twinkies as we know them.  Trumka laid the blame at the feet of investment firms like Bain Capital.  He said, What’s happening with Hostess Brands is a microcosm of what’s wrong with America, as Bain-style Wall Street vultures make themselves rich by making America poor...

President Barack Obama took the time to answer a question during his press conference yesterday.  The question involved Mayor Michael Bloomberg's support of the President based on the issue of climate change.  The President was asked what was ahead in a second term on this topic...

The only body under the bus will be that of General Petraeus.

225 "no show" votes and still taking a pay check.

Here comes another really stupid campaign from PETA.

I hate being in the position of saying, "See, I told you so."  Still, that is the position that we are in today.  Obama has been reelected and Obamacare is headed for us like a runaway freight train.  Conservatives tried to tell everyone that it was bad news for the country and the economy...

Christmas celebrates a life sacrificed not to provide a shopping experience.

It has taken a little time for the results to settle in.  As I was part of KPEL's election coverage, I had a front seat to when results rolled in for the Presidential election as well as local races of interest.  Based on that, things came along fast and furious (no pun intended), and I had little time to reflect on it until this morning...

Victoria's Secret more than pretty faces and bodies.

Really? Care about what Will Ferrell thinks.

And you thought your life was weird?

I am not one of those with inside knowledge of poll and data.  That said, I can look and see things that are happening in the polls that all of us see in the public and I am seeing the thing that happens in every race.  Things tighten in the end...

Lower than pond scum bookies.

The Southeast Missourian reports two guys stole a car and struck some joggers because it was "fun".

About 1,600 pounds of bass died when a truck crashed, and now a PETA member wants a memorial.

I couldn't vote often but I did vote early!
