A judge has ordered a Phillips woman to serve a year in jail and placed her on 15 years' probation on accusations she set her house on fire for insurance money to cover debts.

Bush orders the torching of a nation and gets a billion dollars. How is not serving jail time for torching a house more of a mockery of justice that that?

Is it my imagination or do there seem to be an inordinate number of business, and home fires lately? Is it just a coincidence that with the economy near recession, falling property values, and record numbers of foreclosures, there seem to be a lot of these fires of a "suspicious nature?" The recent torching of several cabins in northern Minnesota might be the work of a deranged arsonist; or maybe someone trying to "cover their tracks," and avoid a huge financial loss. I don't know, I'm just sayin"...

Let me guess he planned and executed the bombing at the World Trade Center also. What color is the sky in your world?

When Don was a kid - he must have got in the line for brains and thought they said trains and said, "give me one of them mini ones." Evidently he got what he wanted. He must be the kind of guy who would let cancer run rampant in his body and think - oh well! Or let rats run around in his attic and say - they'll go away. It's how incredible how naive some folks can be. You get rid of cancer or rats or they will in time get rid of you. Same with these radicals. Don - you better wake up!!!

Don Joe, Don't forget that the hurricanes were also Bush's fault

I guess it would be a shame to have bush be responsible for his own actions. Just think of the waste, to have bush be responsible for his own actions. There is a never ending stream of scape goats. Let's use them.
