So, I am confused here. A capital of one of our fifty states lies submerged today and has for the last few days and the national news has only made minor mentions.Is this a backlash to what happened with new Orleans five years ago? Was it that there has been almost no looting in the city, so it is not deemed newsworthy?
Nashville, TN is suffering today and will be for weeks if not months to come. I have heard it described as a 500-year flood. Normally you hear about the 100-year flood, but this is a disaster.
The Opryland Hotel (above) is closed as the entire first floor is under water...The entire playing surface of LP Field where the Tennessee Titan's play football is under water. A good portion of 2nd Avenue where all the clubs are in Nashville is under water.But try and find out some news on the TV and you would think all is right in the world.
Where are the stars coming out to ask for help? OH wait, this is here in the US, so we don't have to worry about it. If it were some Third World country, we would have already had three concerts and a telethon.
Sometimes I just do not get it...sorry I don't.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Yeardley Love who was brutally murdered on Monday. It looks like an open and shut case, but one never knows...
Running on to a playing field in the middle of a sporting event is one of the dumbest things you can do.
After the game in Philadelphia on Monday, some may think twice in the future.
The teen who ran on the field and alluded security guards for a few minutes was taken down by a taser used by a Philadelphia Police officer.
Now, I began by saying running on the field is dumb. Using a stun gun on someone who does this is completely stupid.
Look folks, there is no where for the clown to go. Wherever he decides to exit the field, a security officer can be right there to catch him.
This is the equivalent of having a 100mph chase on the freeway because someone ran a red light. Police have to think.
Should the officer be reprimanded? NO. BUT, there has to be a rule put in place that says if a fan runs on the field send two people out to herd the idjit to a spot where he can be apprehended and given his citation...no stun guns necessary.
