Another step in the right direction. Basically what this is saying is if you kill a child, be it thru shaken baby syndrome, or whatever, you get charged with first degree murder, period. No manslaughter, no nothing like that.....you're going to trial for 1st degree, no if's, ands or butt's about it.
I give the guys down here a hard time about being backwards ass rednecks, but by god, they got this one right! Missouri rocks.

As if custom-made hats, premium box seats and limo rides weren't enough, the Kentucky Derby will now feature the $1,000 mint julep.
Sip this drink slowly.
The sweet cocktail will be made with one of the state's finest bourbons and served in a gold-plated cup with a silver straw to the first 50 people willing to put down the cash at the May 6 race.
Mint from Morocco, ice from the Arctic Circle and sugar from the South Pacific will put this mint julep in a class of its own, the distillery selling the drink said.
"We thought we would reflect on and complement the international nature of the Kentucky Derby," said Chris Morris, master distiller for Woodford Reserve. The distillery, owned by Louisville-based Brown-Forman Corp., will sell the drink only on race day to raise money for a charity for retired race horses.
The company already sells about 90,000 mint juleps at the Derby each year but hopes what's being dubbed the "ultimate" mint julep will catch on. Those who buy the $1,000 cocktail will get to watch Morris and others make it.

UNICEF: 1 in 3 Zimbabwe children an orphan:
Here's a novel idea....quit having babies, and quit sleeping with every man you see, friggin' idiots.
Why do you think your economy sucks, and there's not enough food, medicine, or water to go around.....it's because there is too many people! You don't know how to practice abstinence (obviously) so guess what, this is what happens. This is ridiculous. I'm sure somehow it's America's fault as well.

And finally, I'd say ole' Teddy had it right didn't he?
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an American in 1907:
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt - 1907
