  • Deserve It?

    You might remember <a href="http://www.sarpysam.com/archives/2973-Under-The-Lash.html">my rant</a> about the Saudi Arabian justice system and how it punished the victim of a rape. Now it turns out there is a little more to the story. According to the Saudi Justice Ministry, <a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SAUDI_RAPE?SITE=MTBIL&SECTION=INTERNATIONAL&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT">she deserved to be raped</a> because she was an adulteress.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>Saudi Arabia's Justice Ministry…

Brian Schweitzer</a>'s defense</a> of Republican criticism about the way he hired a new intern very interesting.

  • Confusion Reigns

    I first see a headline to a story in the Gazette.<br />n<br />n<strong>Panel OKs treating 2 coal types alike</strong><br />n<br />nThis seems to indicate that,<br />n<br />na.) there are two different types of coal,<br />n<br />nand <br />n<br />nb.) they will be treated the same.<br />n<br />nI scratch my head and start to read the…

  • Talk About Wrong

    I <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/2052-Rain-Showers.html">complained yesterday morning</a> that all I was getting was rain showers and I needed a rain storm. I WAS WRONG!!!
