Article in todays paper: Alaskan William Osborne says he's the victim of mistaken identity and a DNA test will prove it. However, Alaska is the only state that hasn't even tried to use DNA technology to see if it might have gotten a conviction wrong and has refused to revisit his case. They argue that Osborne recieved a fair trial and that should end it.
One question comes to mind... If officials are so sure they convicted the right man, then they should welcome the DNA test to further prove his guilt. What do they have to lose?
Article in todays paper: Police in Kettering Ohio have charged a woman with child-endangering after it was reported that she was seen breast-feeding her child and talking on the phone...while driving.
One question comes to mind... What WAS she thinking? Oh, right... she wasn't.

A New Year
Wow. It's 2009. Hard to believe that I have not posted an entry here since July! So much has happened since then both in my personal life and in the world. Where to start?
The highlight of the year in world affairs had to be the election of Barack Obama as our next President. He soundly defeated Senator John McCain with a landslide electoral vote in what turned into an ugly affair by the Republicans who mounted some extremely questionable and objectionable campaign tactics in an effort to wrest the election from the Democrats.
