Diogenes Digest

Suspected gang members accused of beating security guard in court today is the headline in the local paper. The headline sounds more ominous than the writer intended as the gang members beat a security guard to death several months ago, but today they appeared in court to face charges. Had they beat the security guard in court today, it would have been a bigger headline!

Am I the only person who believes that Mr. and Mrs. Anthony knew before the discovery of their granddaughter's body yesterday that their daughter, the baby's mother, killed her? I'm also pretty sure that the elder Anthonys have been involved in the cover-up as the dad, a former police officer who recognized the smell of decomp in his daughter's car, could not have ignored the fact and not questioned the most obvious suspect, his daughter. The mother? She's a wack-job, saying one week that she was going to adopt the baby to prevent further abuse from its mother, and then claiming that her daughter was a "good mother" and never would have harmed her child. Depending how much they knew and when, they could be charged as accessories after the fact.

Obama may be pretty sure that he didn't participate in the fiasco to put his pick into an Illinois Senate seat, but he can't be as sure that his pitbull, Ram Emanuel, didn't. Hope the Emanuel family hasn't put a down payment on Washington digs ... .

It is true that when a door slams a window opens: just ask the auto execs who were told "no" by the Senate, only to get a bright green light from the White House. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa (with no limitations) Clause!
