 THE BEST THING ABOUT THE CIRCUS SURROUNDING CASEY ANTHONY, GEORGE ANTHONY, LEE ANTHONY, CINDY ANTHONY, AND CAYLEE ANTHONY IS THAT WE ARENT BEING BOMBARDED WITH AN OJ SIMPSON CIRCUS.

I find it just amazing how pampered we have ALL become.

Since the almighty blog gods have put their foot down to make sure everyone is behaving, it now takes some time for comments to post. Gee just think if we had to MAIL comments in to the studio. We have all come to think that faster is better. How many of us with lightning speed modems would go bak to d ia l  u p ?

So with time I think that we will once again be able to use this blog site like a messaging board again and we will all be satisfied once more.

So until then, sit back, relax, and let the words flow from your fingertips (kumbaya)

This is why ALL sex offenders SHOULD NOT get OUT of JAIL!!!

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - Police say a registered sex offender from Georgia confessed to killing a 13-year-old girl whose body was discovered by a maid in a hotel room.

Mathew Caylor, 33, told investigators late Thursday that he had killed Melinda Denise Hinson, Police Capt. Robert Colbert said Friday. Her body was found Thursday in a room registered to Caylor.

"It was a very detailed and very lengthy confession," Colbert said. "Investigators will be working in the coming days to validate every component."

Another man who stayed in the room the following night did not know the body was there and has been cleared of involvement in the case, police said.

Caylor, of Auburn, Ga., is charged with murder, sexual battery and failing to register as a sexual offender. He was being held in the Panama City Jail and had not yet been assigned a public defender.

As Hinson's family moved out of their room at the hotel Friday, the girl's mother said she knew something was wrong Tuesday when her daughter left to walk a neighbor's dogs and never returned.

"I kept telling them that she would not run away from me," Rhonda McNallin told the Panama City News Herald. "She is a mama's girl."

Caylor was arrested by the Bay County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday after he was accused of attacking and attempting to rob two women at a Panama City Beach condominium.

When Hinson's body was found, Caylor was being held at the Bay County Jail on charges including aggravated assault, false imprisonment, fugitive from justice and failure to register as a sex offender.

Police said he has a lengthy history of petty crimes and sex crimes.

Hinson and her family had moved to Panama City from Henderson, Ky., in November and were living at the hotel. Caylor checked in June 28.

Authorities said they were awaiting autopsy results to determine how Hinson was killed.

Wonder why All News Stations report crime as it is happening instead of reporting why

these criminals are out on the streets in the first place? It seems after the report on the

crime itself is done the next words we hear are "the criminal has a lenghty arrest record

including multiple violent crimes. Could we not force the hand of our ELECTED officials if

the reporters would ask the judges that keep letting these thugs off with sometimes not

even a slap on the wrist WHY? If the ELECTED officials were to be in the spotlight

everytime one of their convicted and released criminals commited ANOTHER crime then

the public might be able to make better decisions when it is time to vote again. Just a

thought, Chime in if you will

I am posting this in the news section because it directly relates to a news story from the other day.

I was interviewed today by a college student that was doing a paper on euthanasia.

She asked some well thought out questions. I was wondering how my answers would differ from everyone elses given my turpitude.

in a nut shell,here are some of the questions she asked me:

(in regards to terminal illness, severe chronic pain) 

Why do some persons feel the need to end life?  Would they necessarily have to be predisposed to suicide?

Are there needs that could be met to dissuade an individual from choosing euthanasia?

Do spouses or loved ones that assist with euthanasia deserve jail time? What if the person was so sick they could not make that decision on their own and the loved one ended their lives anyway?

What are the drawbacks to euthanasia? What are the drawbacks to keeping a person alive that chooses euthanasia?

Would you be able to end your loved ones life if they so requested?

Someone at Fox spends a lot of time setting up and maintaining this blog site for us to use.

They have set it up so that we can write our own posts.

They have set it up so that we can comment on other bloggers posts.

They have even given us the power to delete when we think it necessary (and when not).

One of the best things that they have done for us on this site is given us the opportunity to post our blogs under different categories.

They have given us the "news" category. I would assume that is for blogs about current events.

They have given us the "political" category. I would assume that I could go there to find out about the presidential race or what is happening in congress.

They have given us the "sports" category. There I am sure I would be able to find out such things as who one todays race at the Monster Mile.

I also saw a category for "faith". Now if I was a religous or spiritual person this is where I would go to read prayers or sightings of your God or Jesus.

Ahhhhh the "Music" category. Here one should be able to get concert info or best band info along with maybe a review of a new group.

In the "weather" category I would expect to see such blogs as "T.S. Alma not heading our way" or "no rain in sight".

As far as the "Entertainment" category goes, I think this is what would be the "catchall" for the rest of the blogs such as the jokes,riddles, movie reviews, actor/actress surveys and such.

Now for the life of me I cant understand why we use all of the nice things Fox has given us except the ability to post in what should be the proper category.

It seems that bloggers are so afraid that no one will read their post unless they plaster it right there under the news category.

Or they are so excited about having a thought that they actually got put into words that they just hit enter without looking to see under which category it will be posted.

Either way it all falls down to the fact that if we want to read a short but well meaning prayer we should go to the faith category. If we want to read about what someone learned in college we should go to the entertainment category. If we want to read about where someone wants their career to go we should also look under entertainment. If we want to read about the American symbols we should go to the political category, and last but not least if someone wants to know how to fix something how about posting it on the one place I forgot to mention the "community Boards".

I have been reading the blogs here for quite some time but never, until now, felt compelled to write.

I had the opportunity to pick up my child from elementary school the other day. Upon arriving I looked up at the flag they were flying and was shocked to see it ripped, torn, and tattered.

I watched as two young girls went out and brought in the flag. The end result was one of the girls rolling the flag into a ball and bringing it inside the building.

I am planning on meeting with the principal this week to see if something can be done. If need be I will purchase a new flag for the school if they don't have enough money but there is also a cub scout pack there so I am thinking, shouldn't the cub scouts bring the flag in or at least teach the other kids and adults the proper way of bringing in a flag.

Have any of you seen this also?

I wish we had the patriotism displayed after 9/11 but I guess that is only reserved for after disasters
