We're # 1

Isn't nice that the criminal element can always strive to be the best. With the return of working class citizens back to the charming city of New Orleans so return the dealers and pushers utilizing abandoned homes to sell their product.
What a sad commentary for such a city rich in culture, history and unfortunately crime.

Proactive arrests

The T.A.B.C. is looking out for you. Or so they would like us to think they are.
If I'm at a hotel bar and I'm staying at said hotel, I would like to assume that I can drink leisurely and not have to worry about being slapped with handcuffs for getting buzzed.
The reports from the State indicate that they are being proactive about drunk driving. Let me think about that, the people staying at the hotel are getting a bit tipsy and heading up to their room after a day of stale, dull convention meetings.
I guess the T.A.B.C. might want to think this one through. If said person is catching a nice relaxing buzz at the hotel bar and not getting behind the wheel of a vehicle, maybe just maybe they are not likely to drink and drive. They are likely to drink and go back to their room and sleep.
What's next, proactive moving violations?

Warning from the AMA

Wow, it's amazing that the A.M.A. took the time to warn everyone what happens during Spring Break. Lucky for us all they are on the job and informing College students to be careful, bad things can happen to you if you choose to go to the beach and party too hard.
What a complete farce. Isn't the wild disregard and drunken recklessness the reason students go south for a week in March?
Why can't they actually accomplish something of value like curing the common cold instead of jerking off these ridiculous reports?

H.M.O. help me out

Lucky for me, my health insurance company's standard operating procedure is the following.
After going in for a routine checkup that includes blood work, etc. I receive a bill for $200 plus dollars from my Doctor informing me my HMO has declined payment for services. My H.M.O. wants to first check with me to make sure I don't have other health insurance coverage before they consider paying.
It seems these multi-billion dollar corporations automatically decline payment for even the most basic of services. No wonder the CEO's of these companies are so wealthy, they collect premiums on the front end, then a co-pay in the middle, then they decline to pay what we have already agreed they would pay.
How corrupt can this health insurance picture be before our Government fixes this nonsense?
Maybe I shouldn't waste my breath.

New Jersey justice

Well it seems in the state of New Jersey, twenty-two murders equal multiple consecutive life sentences in prison and no eligibility for parole for almost 400 years.
The families of the deceased deserve so much more it is beyond understanding why the state will not put this convicted murderer to death.
Society is far from perfect and will forever be so as long as serial killers get this kind of judgment from the courts.
