At least some deserving people will benefit from this screwup.

Thank you, Tim Pawlenty, for making this one turn out right. It's about time we treat our vets at least as good as we treat our sex offenders.

BS. Pawlenty is the worst kind of politician. He saw an opportunity to score political points and he jumped on it. The media coverage this matter is disgusting.

Way to go Gov. Pawlenty! and memo to the editor of this story - let's quit with the newspeak - call a spade a spade - a sex-offender treatment facility is a prison. Quit playing the redefinition game.

On another comment board, some liberals have argued that the sex offenders shouldn't have the TVs taken away and if they can't have them, the veterans shouldn't get them either.

Apparently implying that disabled vets and sex offenders undergoing treatment are basically on the same moral footing.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Pisces

Someone is in a very boisterous mood today, and you may want to make yourself scarce after a short spell in their company. Their idea of a joke may be your idea of extreme rudeness, or they could take pleasure in being argumentative just for the sake of it. Don't let this person wind you up or you'll go off pop through sheer tension.
