WOMAN SHOT, WHO IS TO BLAME?
WHO SHOULD TELL US?

FLINT - A Flint police officer is on administrative leave after allegedly being involved in a shooting of a Flint woman Sunday night.

The shooting took place as police were responding to a call of shots fired on W. Pierson Road near Fleming Road about 10 p.m. Sunday.

When police arrived, an officer approached a group of people who had been shooting several types of firearms. Some were still armed as police approached, said Flint Police Lt. Tim Johnson
A woman, 24, of Flint was shot in the chest, apparently by police, and taken to a Flint hospital.

Her condition was listed as serious.

A number of weapons and illegal drugs were recovered at the scene and taken to the state police crime lab in Bridgeport. The investigation is continuing.

Justice is the tolerable accommodation of the conflicting interests of society, and I don’t believe there is any royal road to attain such accommodation concretely.

Effect of Obama's Candor Remains to Be Seen
Senator Admitted Trying Cocaine in a Memoir Written 11 Years Ago (By Lois Romano, The Washington Post)

As a potential candidate, Obama has presented himself as a fresh voice offering a politics of hope.

Many say he offers something new in American politics: an African American with a less-than-traditional name who has so far demonstrated broad appeal.

What remains to be seen is whether the candor he offered in his early memoir will be greeted with a new-style acceptance by voters.

COST OF WAR: It seems the American public is convinced the only war they are willing to support is one in which they get to vote on before we begin it.

My question to all of you out there who think the business of America is to have "the good life" regardless of the cost - is it a just war when the barbarians are knocking down my door or yours?

PATIENCE PLEASE: When I was shopping the after-Christmas sales I noticed there is a difference between the after-Christmas and the before-Christmas shoppers. The before-Christmas shoppers have something the after-Christmas shoppers don't. It's a little thing called patience.

[Nonsense, I saw a lot of pushing and shoving before Christmas..-trb]

CHRISTMAS BLESSING: What a wonderful front-page Christmas story ("Counting their blessings") about the Taylor family.

It was refreshing to read the family values they hold for their children.

Reading about their family was a wonderful start to my Christmas morning!

TRULY MISSED: With the passing of Gerald Ford, we lost a great man. He was a great Michigan man. He will be missed.

STOP THE FIGHTING: It's sad to see how mean the Burton City Council has become.

All they are interested in doing is fighting, and it's costing the taxpayers with all their retaliatory actions.

[Burton has taught Flint how to act up.-trb]
