Repost from the Ninja on Reliability.

No. 760 This post in Time Management Ninja is so important, I am reposting it, rather than simply suppling the link. I cannot add one word to the message. 5 Reasons You Aren’t Reliable by CRAIG Ever have someone ask you to do something… and then you forget? Oops! Does it happen more than once? Is […]

NOT YOUR PROBLEM.

No. 759 Now the hosts and guests on talk radio are obsessed over the idea that conflicts in the testimony of key witnesses in the Penn State case might enable some of the defendants to slip the noose. Don’t worry about the prosecution. They have a small army of lawyers working on this case. If […]

Presumption of Innocence and Burden of Proof

No. 758 It bears remembering, at a time like this, that under our system of justice every person accused of a crime is presumed to be innocent until convicted in court by credible evidence. The finder of fact must conclude that guilt of a specific charge has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a […]

Understanding Leadership.

No. 757 Several of the Republican candidates for President were asked what 20th Century President belongs on Mt. Rushmore. All of them said Ronald Reagan. All except one, that is. Newt Gingrich said that FDR belongs on Mt. Rushmore. A significant answer. He alone was able to look past policy and ideology and recognize great leadership. […]

I Don’t Believe You.

It must have seemed to the Democrats on County Council that the City voters’ willingness to appropriate a quarter mill tax increase for the Carnegie Library signaled a new era when it was okay to raise taxes. With the election less than a week behind them, they apparently lined up a majority for a one mill County tax increase.

Passing in the Night.

No. 753 A giant rock, an asteroid, passed the earth last evening, about 6:30 PM Eastern time. It missed us by about 200,000 miles. Where did it come from? We don’t know. Where will it stop? We don’t know that either. As a matter of fact, there is a universe full of things we don’t […]

Is Gingrich the One?

No. 752 Listening to commentators on the Republican field, there seems to be a consensus that Romney is the only complete candidate in the group, ready to head a national ticket. But Romney, who is well-financed and well positioned, has troubled the party’s base, who don’t seem to trust him. The inability of other candidates […]

No, Marty Griffin, Joe Paterno Does Not Owe You an Explanation.

KDKA talk host Marty Griffin has been demanding that Joe Paterno talk about the pending criminal prosecution against two Penn State officials to whom he reported the Sandusky matter. Griffin is always attempting to try every new case on his radio program.
