Prosecutorial Misconduct

Prosecutorial misconduct is not a myth. Please read the following statement and ask yourself how can we function as a country if this is allowed to go on...

"Anyway, judges are not immune from societal pressures. Judges would like to be appointed to higher courts; they would like to be appointed as CIA or FBI director; they would like to continue their friendships with the persons who appointed them as judges in the first place. Also, most importantly, they want to have a family life, something which they could never have if they did not dismiss most cases assigned to them."

I believe the following statemnt is true. And it is sad--a sad statement of what this country has become. I would hate to think it has always been this way and we have actually improved...

"It's something similar to reading a judge's decision for anyone except the involved parties and their attorneys. Almost every decision is written in a way to convince persons unfamiliar with the case that the decision is a just one. Accordingly, when a judge says something such as "there is absolutely no evidence at all in favor of the plaintiff", a person not familiar with the affidavits, testimony, exhibits and other documents in the case would probably assume that the decision is accurate, and not realize that the decision is using the language required to be used to dismiss a case."

Consumers Creditnet

I want to rebuild credit and to do so I plan on contacting Consumers Creditnet.
Creditnet is an online marketplace where consumers connect with a wide array of credit card products and services. They help you find credit cards or services which best match your criteria and credit standing.
According to them, their web site also acts as an industry filter, sheltering you from those predatory products and services which plague the subprime market and jeopardize the integrity of valid offers.
While other web sites feel that quantity is key, Creditnet believes in the power of selection. They say that they refuse to market products which prey, mislead, deceive or take advantage of consumers deliberately.

IGS Energy

In the mail I recieved anotice asking me to lock in a fixed rate today on my natural gas. it said my gas utility company offers a program that allows me to control my natural gas costs by choosing them as a supplier.
It also said would get a discount from October of next year until.
What about electric? Is there a carrier that can give me a discount on my electric energy? The gas is never that much but the electic is.

Welcome to the Rodeo--Yeeha!

If I could score National Rodeo Finals tickets I would really be going just to see the bare back riding competition because it seems much more exciting.
The National Finals Rodeo, organized by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, is the top-of-the-top in championship rodeo events in the U.S. Wrangler Jeans is the title sponsor.
The National Finals is held for 10 days each year in the first full week of December, at the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

An interesting fact is that he rodeo uses special dirt, which is stored on the UNLV campus for use in next NFR.

Another interesting fact is that because of the large amount of money awarded during the NFR, the leader in an event going into the NFR is frequently dethroned at its end.
There are seven main events: calf roping, steer wrestling, bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding, and team roping.

Like I said before, I want to see the bareback bronc riding because the cowboys seem to enjoy that more--looking at the expressions on their faces. I have watched many rodeo events on television and the bare back actually seems more dangerous.

South Shore Commuter Rail Expasion

I received in the mail this week a flier about expanding the South Shore Commuter Rail. It said it will be a "Major Boost to Northwest Indiana's economy."
It also said that 26,000 could be added to the area but also the rail expansion could provide "a real shot in the arm for our pocketbooks," it read.
How?
The flier said expanded transit lines will be a magnet for new businesses and emerging industries, good-wage construction jobs on new lines and added staff for train and station operations could be added as well.
There are also claims that there will be more options for small businesses to grow around the transit stops and an increased access to 150,000 jobs in downtown Chicago.
The community should be involved in this decision.

Merit Capital Advance

If I ever get to start my own business I will probably need a Small Business Cash Advance at some point and time.

The cash advance will be deposited into your business checking account allowing these funds to be accessible immediately. This is not a loan; it will not require a complicated application process, collateral, or unnecessary fees. You can choose to use your cash advance to fulfill any of your business needs.

Clay goes to South Carolina

The mayor of Gary, Rudolph Clay, has endorsed Democratic Presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and is traveling to South Carolina to campaign on his behalf.
Clay is president of the Lake County Democratic Party (Committee?) and was previously a Lake County council member in Northwest Indiana.
While trying to verify if Clay is president of the Lake County Dems, I ran across this blog with some interesting albeit hateful musings. Ai-yai! yai!

Young Pats Fan Booed

This Just in from Yahoo News--Patriots owner Robert Kraft sat behind his wide desk and marveled at how his team's jersey could be the target of so many boos -- even when it's worn by a 14-year-old girl.
I have the feeling that this young girl is tough. She is a survivor!
