Sentencing
Posted Sunday, November 29, at 3:06 PM It seem several commenter have a problem with the sentencing on William T. McMahan in the Roger Ritch fiasco and the re-sentencing of Chad Tucker. I or they one, don't understand the system. Probably me. Mr. McMahan apparently was elevated to "king pin" status when most thought Roger Ritch was. ...
Election 2010 Seems my prediction that Jim Tracy would run against Bart Gordon for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012 was off a couple of years. Look for him to announce soon he will run against Bart Gordon in 2010. Watch for the move to the 'boro also...
Gambling Sentence The United States District Court on Friday last, sentenced Chad Tucker to 42 months probation, $3000.00 fine and $100.00 assessment. I now rest my case. No incarceration in Federal Court for being major player in illegal scheme and 45 day in lock-up for the most minor players. I hope to hear from the commenters on my original blog concerning the local trial...
Wartrace Liquor I have been following the Wartrace situation, re legalizing liquor by the drink, with much interest. I have come to the conclusion the situation is being approach in a most infantile and unprofessional manner. My opinion, for what it's worth, is the legislative body, board of aldermen/women, are to set the policy for the citizens of Wartrace. That is what they were elected to do, yet they apparently lack the political courage to act...
Gambling Article This piece was publish by the Times Gazette early in this century as a two part guest column. I reran it here 14 months ago. With the interest in the great poker game of recent weeks, I thought it might be of interest to some. The original piece was published just the legalization of the lottery was gearing up...
Gambling Update As of a couple of hours ago, Christina Tucker was sentenced in Federal District Court in Chattanooga. She was sentenced to two years probation. Chad Tucker's sentencing was deferred untill Friday. I believer this proves my point of an earlier blog that the dealers, working irregularly, for tips only, were treated more harshly than the "king-pins."...
Thomas School I visited Thomas Magnet School last evening at the request of two grandchildren (cousins). I was absolutely amazed at the turn-out and participation. There literally were hundreds in attendance. This crowd, most of whom were fed dinner, was very obviously family including extended family such as grandparents and aunts and uncles...
Policy Making I often wonder how and why people forget what they almost surely have learned at some point in their life, usually in their youth. This phenomena is the duties and operations of a legislative body. This duty is always, at all levels, one of establishing policy and nowhere is there any evidence that this is not so. ...
Election "09 I don't believe I have ever had the displeasure of seeing such a malicious political campaign. We have two candidates from the major parties, both of whom are good people, now comes the Parties and the games begin. The candidates and the Parties will spend, it appears, in an aggregate amount of approximately $200,000 and perhaps more. ...
Justice Earlier this week I sat through a two day trial where two defendants were charged with a gambling offense. This trial was about indictments brought against two young men who were dealers in the great Texas Hold-em raid of some months back. It became clear by testimony of every witness that the really, really bad actors in this operation were a husband/wife team. ...
Civility (rerun) I ran this blog almost a year ago. My latest blog along with several others, mine and others, show that nothing ever changes. Just more of the same. Guess some just cannot learn. With due respect to the new Editor, if people had to identify themselves, most would stay on the issues or go away. Those that go away would show their true colors. How can anyone not question the courage of someone's convictions if you don't know who you are talking to?...
King Barak Hussein Obama I Would be King, Barack Hussein Obama, is well along in appointing his Knights of the Weird Table and soon will be able to declare himself the anointed one and assume the throne as the King of America. Just a few of his chosen knights (czars), firstly: Harold Koh. ...
Healthcare? If healthcare in this country is so inferior and so badly broken and needs radical reform, why such a big hurry to "fix" it? Seems like such a complex system would require much effort and study to get it right.
Poetry Poetry's beauty is in its brevity. Stating volumes with very few chosen words. I suggest the following examples are poetry in the political/social arena. I have noted these expressions over the years and aver they are poetry in the strictest and classic sense...
Questions......????? 1. Is there a left-wing conspiracy? 2. Why do pro Obama supporters at town-hall meetings have professional, printed signs and anti folks have crude hand made signs? 3. Should a President have the right to fire the CEO of a Company? 4. Should a President have the right to dictate to a Federal Court (Bankruptcy) the exact findings the Court will rule, even before the Courts has seen the facts?...
Knoxville Murder Case The Knoxville case I first mentioned in my blog in 2007 and re-ran as Racism on July 27th is finally going to trial. (Murder occured in Jan. 2007) The first of four defendants is at trial with the jury being seated from a Nashville panel. This is only the first of four defendants as I mentioned. ...
Animal Rights It is difficult in this area not to notice the cacophonies raised by animal rights activists re the walking horse industry. Also animal rights in general and the ill treatment of animals is seemingly an everyday occurrence in several places in the United States. ...
Hispanic Now that Sotomayor is on the Supreme Court maybe the main stream media will stop pandering to the Hispanic vote for Obamaites. The true meaning of the word propaganda has been on display by the main stream media in their efforts to garner the Hispanic vote for the liberal camp. ...
Racism rerun I published this blog in early 2007. The liberal bias and political correctness of the national media in this Country could not have a better display than the racially based stories out of Louisiana and North Carolina. That theses stories have racial oppression at their root, are worthy of national exploitation and are to be repeated as nauseam is totally a fabrication on the national news media. ...
Racism, Political Correctness. 3rd Time This I posted first during the summer of 2007. I reran 0n 07/13/'08. For what it's worth this is to those who don't know me but profess to know every single thought and feeling I have. The next statement prefaced the '08 posting. The comments were added in reply to commenters of the 2nd posting...
