*KNOX COUNTY CREDIT CARDS- Somewhere, Cas Walker is laughing. Who had the idea to hand out so many purchasing cards to so many people? Anybody who has ever managed people knows the potential for abuse of any kind of permission to spend. One station where I have worked had more paperwork to fill-out for travel expenses than most car dealerships when you buy a car.

*PRESIDENT BUSH SAYING THE NATION IS “WAR WEARY”- Probably not as war weary as the troops who have served multiple deployments. And if the Iraqi parliment takes a vacation, American forces should stand-down until they return. I heard a report that some Iraqi police trainees fired on American forces in an incident this week.

*AL QUAEDA REPORT INDICATES TERRORIST GROUP IS STRONGER- I am sick of watching propaganda videos of Al Quada training camps. I would like to see American video of smoking holes that used to be Al Quaeda training camps.

*PROBABLE SERIAL KILLER ARRESTED- The FBI says at any time, there are several serial killers in America. Most of them do not stalk their victims. Rather, their victims wander into their path through some circumstance. A serial killer was executed this week in California, and a sadist executed in North Dakota. Good. But I hope psychologists were able to pick their sick minds so police can catch some of the others still out there.

*RUNNING OF THE BULLS IN SPAIN- This year was a particularly violent one in Pamplona, Spain. Several people were seriously injued by the bulls. Tell you what, next year save your trip money; put on while clothes and a red sash and visit a bar in south Texas, Alabama, or Georgia. You’ll have some running to do.

*SOMEBODY’S BABY- Police found a homeless person dead in a vacant lot near the mission this week. It’s easy to dismiss something like that as a “non-story”. And in reality, it’s not worthy of a newscast mention. But at one time, that person was somebody’s baby. Were they loved…ever? What brought them to life’s end in a vacant lot. Most of us either die in our own beds, or in a hospital bed. How awful it would be to die without friends or family at your side, no one to offer a prayer or kind word as you leave this realm. They were somebody’s baby, once. They were always God’s child. Just like you and me.
