I haven't followed the news much but I love everything that you have written about this Gates issue. Kudos to you! I fully agree.

I hope that the sergeant does not cave to pressure from superiors or politicians to let it all blow over and appear as if he were the one in the wrong.

If Gates really said things like "I'll meet your mama outside," and the like, what does that make him other than a trash-talking little wannabe thug?<br /><br />His daughter is getting media coverage because the media have an agendaSam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-19528884778206702962009-07-25T11:58:59.005-05:002009-07-25T11:58:59.005-05:00I love the picture of that pup, Kelly, and wish I ...I love the picture of that pup, Kelly, and wish I had one.

I was fooled once by Sony and that won't be happening again.

I was on the verge of considering a Kindle due to recent price drops. That incident blew any hope Amazon had of luring me into purchasing right out of the water, up onto shore and miles inland. I cannot bear the thought that someone could snatch back a book without my permission.

He's a Harvard professor, an elitist, and I think he was offended that the officer either did not recognize him or treat him the way he expected to be treated. After all, there was a previous break-in at the home in recent days - what was the policeman to do?

I read this today:<br /><br /> Gates said Wednesday he would listen to Crowley "if he would tell the truth about what he did, about the distortions that he fabricated in the police report. I would be prepared as a human being to forgive him."<br /><br />That last sentence just REEKS of arrogance. IMHOJoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600670648603318536noreply@blogger.com
