Miranda Rights

Eric Holder (US Attorney Gen) wants to spend $200M to put one terrorist on trial here in the US instead of using a Military Tribunal.  He says they want to give him a fair trial.  Then we have Robert Gibbs (WH Press Secretary) who openly says his will stand trial and he will be executed.  Is all this ignorant or what!?

If this terrorist stands trial and they apply US law, he could potentially get off on a technicality!  Dumber things have happened!  One reason is that he was not read his Miranda rights when he was captured.  Now what little law I do know is that if you aren't read those rights when you are arrested - nothing said may be used against you and you could walk!

What are we doing folks?  Who do we believe?  From all I know and have read this terrorist is a military combatant, he should be tried by the military and it shouldn't cost $200M.  It should only cost the price of 2 folding tables, 9 folding chairs, 2 pots of coffee, a doz. donuts, (Bible optional), and take his original confession as the only truth he will utter.

At least Robert Gibbs has the outcome right!

Taxes

This morning as I turned on the TV set on my way to make coffee, a national ( CNN:HLN Channel) news segment had apparently earlier asked its viewers to write in and tell them who "they would raise taxes on if they had the ability to do so". I'm paraphrasing now but here is how it was played out: One person wrote in and said, "raise taxes on the big oil companies but do it APPROPRIATELY". This individual's email actually had the word APPROPRIATELY spelled in capital letters. The second individual wrote in and said, "raise taxes on the junk food companies because they make food taste good which forces us to eat it and yet it is bad for us".  (They will one day raise prices on Junk Food, mark my words!) Honest, i'm not making this up!!!!! As to the first writer, i'm ASSUMING (I capitalized this word to make a point too) they think raising taxes APPROPRIATELY would not effect the average consumer - ergo, their use of the CAPS! In o...

The Lawyer Vs the Entrepreneur

I have been mulling this thought over for some time now and feel it needs to be put to pen. Ever wonder how many of our elected officials in Washington were real entrepreneurs before seeking your vote? I wasn't really sure, but I had my own opinion! Well, most are lawyers. To be an entrepreneur or to want to become one takes a drive that not all individuals have. Long tedious hours, broke one moment rich the next - then broke perhaps again - then having to make the payroll, paying bills, wondering if you're going to make it, re-wondering, thinking rethinking, etc. Hard life! Entrepreneurs are almost like the everyday married couple I guess; long hours, being broke one moment a little money the the next - then broke perhaps again, paying bills. Takes a rare breed to be successful at being married and/or an entrepreneur. The exhilaration of success is ONE driver that surely inspires and keeps a person going in business. Bottom line is that it takes a deep abiding drive, i...
