Grass Is Greener ~ St. Paul and The Broken Bones… = ]

Not all terrorist acts are created eqaully according to Donald and Steve.

I saw a post earlier today in which the person making the post included a photo of  Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon Bombers.  The posters mocked those opposing the ban on refugees from Muslim majority countries.  Reminding readers that these two were refugees.

What wasn’t said in the post is that these two murderers were from the RUSSIAN REPUBLIC of Chechnya, a cauldron and exporter of radical Islam.

Somehow, there are no bans on refugees from Russia.  Would that cause the Vladimir not to like the the Donald and the Steve?  Would it impair the Donald’s business deals in Russia?  

While we’re at it, how is it that the ban does not include Saudi Arabia, the country of origin for most of the 9/11 attackers? 

Documentary on Alabama war hero Jeremiah Denton a hit with preview audience

A new documentary about Vietnam War hero Jeremiah Denton got a standing ovation Sunday from a preview audience including some of Denton's family members, one of whom said she was "blown away" by the work.

For those who might agree with Donald Trump’s view that POW’s are losers, I suggest they take the time to view this documentary produced by Alabama Public TV.  It chronicles the Hanoi Hilton Experience of former Navy pilot Jeremiah Denton.  PBS aired the documentary on Memorial Day evening. 

Story of cities #29: Los Angeles and the 'great American streetcar scandal'

The last train on the last line of greater Los Angeles’ Pacific Electric streetcar network made its last run on April 9, 1961.

Between 1938 and 1950, one company purchased and took over the transit systems of more than 25 American cities. 

Their name, National City Lines, sounded innocuous enough, but the list of their investors included General Motors, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Standard Oil of California, Phillips Petroleum, Mack Trucks, and other companies who stood to benefit much more from a future running on gasoline and rubber than on electricity and rails. 

National City Lines acquired the Los Angeles Railway in 1945, and within 20 years diesel buses – or indeed private automobiles – would carry all the yellow cars’ former passengers. Does that strike you as a coincidence?

Read the full story.

Meeting Isaiah

At last Wednesday’s hearing I met Isaiah Fowler for the first time, albeit only via introduction by his attorney Mark Reichel (www.reichelplesser.com). We were in court and there was no time to converse with the young man. It is difficult to get too much of a read on him, but he...

In the company of Mark Reichel, the Defense Attorney for Isaiah Fowler, I spent Saturday in and around the crime scene of the Leila Fowler stabbing. The community is not as isolated as one might think and the neighbors were glad the initial law enforcement and media frenzy has passed. There were a...

Much of the time and investigator grinds out the day-to-day work involved in personal injury cases and the like. Sometimes a really interesting and high-profile case comes in and you just feel the adrenaline start pumping.

That happened yesterday, when I was contacted by Mark Reichel and Steve...

I'm a devoted Red Sox fan and I never doubted that this would be the case.

When I was a very little guy my father woke me one night and sat me in front of the TV during the Jack Parr show.  When I asked why he said, "Jonathan Winters is coming on next and I want you to see the funniest man in the world."

I lost my dad many years ago and today we all lost the funniest man in the world.
