<title>KOMO - Seattle, WA : \&#039;Barefoot Bandit\&#039; in solitary at Wash. prison | Local &amp; Regional | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, </title>

<description>John Henry Browne appears to have reported this to the news outlets, based upon the way the article is written.  There is little doubt in my mind that this all has very little to do with Colton and EVERYTHING to do with the John Henry Browne getting more exposure and thus more fame and more money.    It is opportunities for publicity like these that Browne took on Colton&amp;#039;s case in the first place.  The kid never had the money to pay Browne&amp;#039;s rates.  The Browne/Harris-Moore relationship is a symbiotic one and the character of each of them should be obvious for everyone to see. </description>

<description>And once again, what he does in his own time is his business.  That is until he tries to get the taxpayers, or his employer, school or other governmental entity pay for it when they don&amp;#039;t support his activities. </description>

<description>I know very well how it works and when the government gets involved and starts forcing everyone in the collective to pay for contraception via private or public insurance carriers, it gets worse and everyone&amp;#039;s prices go up even more,     My point was that at least Rush was paying into a collective out of his own pocket and not demanding that he be allowed to contribute nothing, but collect everything. </description>

<description>Fairly certain that Rush pays for his own insurance and/or health care and is not asking the tax payers to finance drugs so that he can do something that is completely optional, but that he finds pleasurable. </description>

<title>KOMO - Seattle, WA : Man found dead near Lake Stickney believed to be sought man | News | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, </title>

<description>Just curious if you perspective might be different if during his selfish attempt to elude the police this man had collided with and seriously injured or killed your wife and kids, your parents, your brother, sister or someone else important to you.    Would it?  This was a selfish criminal who cared for nobody else in society and demonstrated that on AT LEAST one occasion.  I find it generous of you to care for him, but I consider it misplaced. </description>

<description>I don&amp;#039;t see a single one of them filling out job applications instead of sitting on their rear in the park complaining. I don&amp;#039;t see a single one of them expending a real effort to make a constructive contribution to this society. </description>

<description>Those &amp;quot;one percenters&amp;quot; pay just short of 40% of the total tax burden. In the meantime, the bottom FIFTY PERCENT (yes half) pay less than 3% of that load.

<description>I wonder how many of those 6000 are self defense related.  I DO NOT KNOW if it is the case here, but historically, the self defense numbers have been lumped in with the criminal homicides and suicides with no differentiation.  To me, there is a huge difference. </description>

<title>KOMO - Seattle, WA : Palin\&#039;s Paul Revere comments spark tug of war on Wikipedia | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breakin</title>

<description>Okay, so she is an idiot, but the guy responsible for the following is a genius who is going to save our country?  Pronounced Marine Corps like Marine Corpse  Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia  Visited Austria and made Reference to the Nonexistent &amp;quot;Austrian language&amp;quot;  Stated that there were 57 states In the United States  Refer to &amp;quot;Cinco de Cuatro&amp;quot; in front of  the Mexican ambassador when it was The 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again  Do I think that Obama is an idiot?   No, but I am continually disappointed that he gets a pass when Palin is hammered by the media and labeled an idiot for similar offenses.  Dan Quayle once misspelled potato and you would have thought the world was going to end.  It is nice how the media decides who is &amp;quot;smart&amp;quot; and who is not and we just follow along, never questioning their judgment.  </description>

<description>If it were not for the millions in lost revenue going to the tribes, the state could hire a few more troopers, or money could be granted to local agencies so they could hire extra officers.  That way state residents could benefit directly instead of relying on the &amp;quot;assistance&amp;quot; of the tribal police. </description>

<title>KOMO - Seattle, WA : Wash. state mulls prisoner release to save money | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KO</title>
<link>http://www.komonews.com/news/local/119147009.html#IDComment139698848</link>
<description>Ultimately releasing prisoners just transfers the costs to the cities, counties, insurance companies and most importantly the citizens.  Sure it helps the state balance the budget, but it is not best for public safety and it will cost us all just as much if not more in the end.  Considering the costs of re-arresting and re-trying a burglar/thief who will commit 7-10 burglaries before he or she is caught again for just one, it is a losing proposition.  The costs, to name just a few, include investigative time, evidence processing and storage, booking fees and costs, housing at local jails pending trial, court costs, prosecution costs, appointed legal defense costs, insurance coverage of all the crimes committed (passed by the insurance companies on to you) and it goes on and on.  Those &amp;quot;costs&amp;quot; do not even include the higher crime rates, impacts to quality of life and other factors.  This is short sighted and really flat out deceptive by the state.    Not every early release prisoner will re-offend, but most will.   </description>

<description>Might want to take a look at the Patriot Act.  Really it has nothing to do with this.     Although the TSA was clearly created in response to 911, the Patriot Act is completely separate from the airport security measures. </description>

<title>KOMO - Seattle, WA : Morning-after regrets? Plan B under review by state board  | KOMO News | Seattle News, Weather, Spor</title>

<description>Yes, he can.  If he is hired help, then is subject to the garbage company&amp;#039;s policies on work performance.  If he is the company owner, he must answer to the city, county or other entity that contracts with him for garbage service.  He may lose his contract and thus lose his business, but that is his decision.    It is a free market.  Some businesses make the correct decisions and succeed, others make bad business decisions and fail, but in either case, the government should not be making the decisions for them. </description>

<description>The pharmacist who refuses to fill that prescription is not making decisions for you.  If you need this pill (under most circumstances) you have already made your own decision and should have weighed it carefully before doing so.  The pharmacists are making decisions for themselves.     This rule  forces them to compromise their religious beliefs to correct someone&amp;#039;s questionable decision.  Last time I checked, the US Constitution did not allow the government to interfere with religious freedom.    Furthermore, like I noted above, government does not and should not have the power to force any private business to stock a given product.   </description>

<description>If I OWN my pharmacy, what products i choose to carry is MY decision.  If i am not serving my customers to their satisfaction, they can and will choose to go elsewhere.    What the those who support this rule fail to admit is that they are pushing their morality on PRIVATE BUSINESS OWNERS.  This is the equivalent to saying that all grocery and convenience stores MUST sell beer and wine.  Or that they must sell adult magazines.  Or maybe more accurately, the store must sell condoms.  That is not the way our government, or our economy is set up.  I fully expect to hear that is a bad comparison and that this is about a woman&amp;#039;s health.  That is hogwash and everyone knows it.  This is about correcting a ill considered mistake.  That responsibility falls on the person, NOT the pharmacy owner.  Then again, personal responsibility is a forgotten concept in this society.  Now, with all that said, if a pharmacist works for a large chain pharmacy and the company decides they will dispense this drug, that pharmacist is obligated to dispense it or face dismissal from the company. </description>

<description>You cannot really believe you won&amp;#039;t pay for this.  Now you will pay at a constant rate for everyone&amp;#039;s issues.  Insurance companies will now be forced to cover everyone, even those who did not bother to buy (and paid the trivial fine instead) until they were diagnosed with brain cancer.  If the company is going to remain solvent, they will have to bill someone for the thousands of dollars of care provided to that one person who had not yet paid one cent into the system.    That is the problem with this and other Democrat plans: They pursue utopia, but are too short sighted to see the real result of their feel good legislation. </description>

<description>&amp;quot;We will be joining those who established Social Security, Medicare and now, tonight, health care for all Americans, said Speaker Nancy Pelosi.  Does she not recognize what a shambles those programs are, or are becoming; along with the fact that costs for those programs have FAR exceeded orignal estimates?  It seems to be an odd proclamation for something you are proud of. </description>
