People should stop believing bizarre stories about U.S. presidents. George Washington did not have wooden teeth. Abe Lincoln did not write the Gettysburg address on an envelope. And President Obama wasn’t born in Kenya. It was Tanzania – Craig Ferguson

Another Right Lost
The Supreme Court said Tuesday investigators don’t have to read Miranda rights to inmates during jailhouse interrogations about crimes unrelated to their current incarceration.
The high court, on a 6-3 vote, overturned a federal appeals court decision throwing out prison inmate Randall Lee Fields’ conviction, saying Fields was not in “custody” as defined by Miranda and therefore did not have to have his rights read to him.

Hey Lisa…remember me?! So happy to see you are still sticking it to the dark side. After reading an article about “googling yourself” every once in a while to see what is out there in the public domain, I was surprised to see an old rant of mine from 2001 I posted on your web site entitled “I’d Like to Forget”. At the time I took umbridge with some right-winger’s patriotic comments glorifying the military and I wrote a mirror image retort on your web page. Brought back a lot of memories. Post retirement, I started a blog “Moving On” about odds and ends and a lot of travel stories. It is talkguy1.wordpress.com, if you want to check it out. Hope all is super with you! Best regards,
Alan
So wonderful to hear from you. I love the Internet!
I miss the days when I was an occasional co-host on your radio show. I believe you were the only Democrat in NW Florida with a local radio talk show.
Good luck with you blog!
