BRUCE A. BRENNAN BLOG FROM THE WORLD AND MY MIND
The news as I see it and the views as I want them.
July 13 is … Fool's Paradise Day
This is a day for the illegal aliens and the rest of us are the fools.
I will be gone tomorrow so I am posting this early. Enjoy.
As they argue, harangue, bitch and blame each other while they try to appear to be doing something in Washington DC about the debt ceiling and the budget, the Democrats want more money from those that have money. I have never heard a Democrat mention that 47% of the people in the United States pay zero Federal Income Tax, nothing, nada. The wealthy are already paying for nearly one-half of the people in this country. Where is the much ballyhooed ‘shared sacrifice’ in that fact?
Taking away the incentive to being successful does not promote hard work and ingenuity. Why should a young or older business person work hard, scrape by and sacrifice to make a go of it, trying to improve his lot in life and that of his family if once he makes it and becomes successful a bunch of lazy deadbeat welfare sucking system workers get to share in his success all at the insistence of politicians he does not know and who themselves are living off the government dole?
Don’t tell me to sacrifice more and give more to the government so it can redistribute my wealth. The politicians were driving this country when it wrecked, I’m not gonna pay em for that. The time of buying your votes with my money are over.
Drew Peterson and his apparently in over his head attorney are happy about the Casey Anthony verdict. It is one thing to be happy about it and for the jury system, it is another to gloat about it. The lawyer representing former Illinois police officer and tabloid headline-grabber Drew Peterson said he and his client were happy to hear the not guilty verdicts in the Casey Anthony murder trial. "He said it is good to see a jury not act emotionally," Peterson’s attorney Joel Brodsky told The Huffington Post.
Anthony, 25, was acquitted on Tuesday of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. Had she been convicted, she faced the possibility of a death sentence.
"My response is the same," Brodsky added. "The jury’s job is not to act emotionally. A jury's job is to evaluate whether or not the government has sufficient evidence, and it looks like in the Casey Anthony case they felt the government did not have sufficient evidence to prove their case."
Drew Peterson, 56, was arrested in May 2009 after a special grand jury found sufficient evidence to charge him in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Police have also named him an "official suspect" in the October 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson. The former Bolingbrook police officer is being held on $20 million bail, pending the start of his murder trial.
"In the Casey Anthony case, they had a pathologist say there was a homicide, an odor from the trunk, chloroform, fibers, the internet search for chloroform, the duct tape [and] a body disposed of in a swamp," Brodsky explained. "In Drew's case, they do not have one single piece of hard evidence, not one." I do not know what evidence the State has against Peterson but I would bet they have some evidence and are not moving on emotion only, although Will County, Illinois has a bad reputation and a stained history for prosecuting the wrong and innocent person.
Brodsky continued: "They have a pathologist that said it is a homicide [but] we have got three pathologists that say it is an accident. When it comes to hard evidence, they had some in Casey Anthony's case [but] in Drew Peterson's case they have zip." Sooner or later we will all see if they have ‘zip’.
Just a couple of thoughts I had.
