Wal-Mart should have just used the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Obama-Biden-Rice defense: "It's not productive looking back, we prefer to just look ahead to the future; blah, blah, blah". Seriously, it must be nice to have an extra $2 million cash just parked, waiting to buy one's way out of murder charges.

Still think it's safe to shop at Wal-Mart? Well, the state of New York has required the company to set aside $400,000.00 in a victim's compensation fund, to be tapped for future tramplings. So now you can "Save Money, Live Better, Die shopping with your boots on, and cash out for 400K!". Now we know why they call it "Black Friday"!

Maureen Dowd: NYT Columnist Nails It Again

How Character Corrodes
By MAUREEN DOWD
Published: May 3, 2009
The Republicans’ newfound concern about checks and balances is touching, given what the Bush administration did to undermine the process.

Republican Governor Orders Killings - 39 Years Ago Today

Hard to believe it's been 39 years ago today, May 4, 2009, that Republican Governor James Rhodes ordered the Ohio National Guard to gun down un-armed college students at Kent State University. Click on the title, above, for a link to full New York Times article from that date.

Also hard to believe that Ohioans re-elected Rhodes to the Governor-ship two more times after that crime. Your blogger proudly worked to elect Rhodes' successor, Gov. Richard "Dick" Celeste, when he ran in 1982. I also worked on his un-successful bid in 1978. Gov. Celeste (also Ambassador to India, 1997-2001) is now President of Colorado College in Colorado Springs.

Ohio voters finally got things right by helping to elect President Obama in 2008 (after George dWi Bush's close "wins" in 2000 & 2004), and put the Governor-ship back in Dem's hands, with the election of Governor Ted Strickland.

Rest In Peace: Allison Krause, 19 years old, of Pittsburgh; Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20, of Youngstown, Ohio, both coeds; Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20, of 22 Diamond Drive, Plainsview, L.I., and William K. Schroeder, 19, of Lorain, Ohio.
