From CBS News:
NBC broadcaster Bob Costas used his halftime segment on "Sunday Night Football" to advocate for gun control following this weekend's murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, causing an immediate debate on social media.
In a segment about 90 seconds long, Costas paraphrased and quoted extensively from a piece by Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock. After praising the column, Costas said: "In the coming days, Jovan Belcher's actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe. If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today."
Using that unassailable logic, without a gun, there is no way to kill someone. Knives, baseball bats, and any number of other items simply would not have come into play... Think before your next heart-warming broadcast moment, Bob.

Wake Up, Pemiscot County
To my fellow Pemiscot County voters: If you've been paying attention at all to the mismanagement of our county by our commissioners- if you've bothered to take a look at the financial statement published in the paper annually, then you know that if there has ever been a time to "throw the bums out," this is it on Tuesday. It just might be possible to reverse some of the damage that has been done with the election of the candidates running against the incumbents.
If we don't make the necessary changes now, it will be too late and we will get what we deserve. Our county will continue to slowly circle the drain... Your choice, folks.

Well there it is.
Just enjoying the first full day of post-Constitutional America... SCOTUS just burned the last scrap of it yesterday.... Nothing seems drastically different... YET.

Portageville Drivers
If your vehicle is not on one of the roads that intersect at the four-way stop, then you are NOT in the intersection, and you are NOT entitled to drive into it like you had a right-of-way... Just saying...
