It's scary the way some of the drivers are on this road. We need more police patroling the area, especially in the AM when drivers are using the blvd to escape the mess on 405.

Get off your buts and get/make a reusable bag or two or take advantage of the free ones being offered at most stores. Throw them in the wash on laundery day and quit whinning. That way you're not using paper or plastic. Of the few responsible people posting here you left out another important reason to give up the free, cheap plastic bags people here seem to be so addicted to which are the birds and fish species that injest this crap and die.

I'm sure Jodi doesn't go around the neighborhood with no top and there are tons of options in clothing for women who have had breasts removed, including swimsuits. People shouldn't have to try to explain to their 4, 5, 6, etc year old children something as serious as breast cancer at the local swimming pool.

It seems as if I get a raise in rates at least once a year and I think last year there were 2 raises. Our rates are high enough but apparently those raises are not going to wage increases for the workers. If the workers are still getting raises in this economy, then they need to stop being greedy and just do their job, which as some here have pointed out, others would love to have.

I live in one. I can refuse to put my can out but my bill will still be charged and have to be paid or the water is turned off. No water, property not habitable by law. Find out what your city does if you choose to haul your own trash to the dump before actually cancelling.

So tired of people like powell not getting what they deserve from these judges. Powell's attorney's statement of "it's not clear exactly when Powell took the pictures, and it could have been before the state made voyeurism a ranked felony in 2006." is one of the most ridiculous things to come out of an attorney's mouth. Will powell even go to an actual prison or just an easy street chair in the county jail? He'll get out and contiune his sleazy ways while these children victims of his will probably need a few years of therapy. Doesn't seem to be much justice from the courts anymore.

Tue, 12 Jun 2012 13:31:57 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Documents-Strangled-womans-husband-had-love-interest-158508905.html?clmob=y#IDComment379182256 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Community-holds-vigil-for-murdered-Centralia-girl-155242875.html?clmob=y#IDComment369573372 One of the reports said that the mother didn't know anything about her baby being mistreated. I'm confused as to how that could be - was she in the hospital or jail while all this was going on and if so, why wouldn't the baby be with the grandmother or the baby's father? I don't understand how a mother can let a boyfriend of all people take care of her baby when there are other people to take care of her if the mom was incapacitated. Mom has a few questions to be answered in this horrific case. Boyfriend needs to have 'it' cut off and jailed for the rest of his life, which if rumors are true about prisioners like him, should be short!

Apparently to some people, if it looks like a fish, swims like a fish and is cheaper to produce, it must be a fish. The way things are going, we'll have manipulated food that is nothing like what nature intended. Farming fish and GMO should be banned but as long as the general population has the attitude that there is nothing they can do, that won't happen. Too much $ to be made by big business.

As a contractor, I've worked for plenty of professional companies and none have ever allowed drinking on company property - it puts the company at risk of lawsuits if someone ends up in an accident after drinking on work premises.

Fri, 11 May 2012 16:16:28 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/Romney-to-shift-focus-from-gay-rights-to-economy-151120165.html#IDComment358555574 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/Romney-to-shift-focus-from-gay-rights-to-economy-151120165.html#IDComment358523890 After watching Romney's response to his 'hi-school pranks' and to other comments he's made about homosexuality, I think he's made it perfectly clear where he stands on gay marriage and homosexuals in general. Someone who would bully (and that's what it was despite people wanting to downplay his behavior) another kid for being different and then laugh about it and claim not to remember the incident is not the type of person who grows up and leaves those attitudes behind. It's the type of person who will just hide his nastiness from the general public better. Romney doesn't want to talk about anything he's said or done in the past that isn't in his best interest right now. He had a chance for my vote in the beginning but now his true colors are coming out in a very unattractive way. Yes, the economy is important and so is this issue.

Based on his past behavior I would have thought he'd do anything to stay in the limelight. Guess when push comes to shove, he doesn't think he can stand up to the prosecution. Also, very disapointed in the judge's decision to throw out some of the charges. This guy needs to be put away for as long as possible.

For the bible thumpers so opposed to allowing others to marry who they choose, maybe they need to go to church more often and pray for less hate and more understanding. Good for our president for standing up for his beliefs.

We have a world full of ugliness. My guess is that whoever did this will also want 'bragging rights' and be stupid enough to post it on their facebook, utube or some other social media. Hope people are on the lookout for that and turn in the pukes.

It's probably on the job app - "do you have any common sense?". If the answer is yes or sometimes, then the applicant is probably ruled out! What a bunch of nitwits!
