    I think that he shouldn't be suspended at all. They should be able to sign whatever they want and get paid. They are the ones bringing in the money anyway.

    He shouldn't be suspended that makes no since I agree with cole
  • Joey Helm on 06 Sep 13
     
    Although I understand that the rules state that you can't get paid for signing autographs, they didn't have any proof that he did, yet still game him a suspension. I don't believe that you can be punished for something that they have no proof of.

    In Colcord, Oklahoma, blood worms -- small, red insect larvae -- have been appearing in water glasses and filters in the rural town. All the schools in Colcord have been closed since Tuesday to determine what the small red worms are and how they are suppose to get rid of them.

    When our water supply went bad, school still went on. Although, the water was contaminated with dirt instead of little worms that suck your blood.

    Re "Apple execs grilled over tax strategy," Business, May 22 Unbelievable, stunning, incredible that members of Congress have the audacity to bring the chief executive of one of the most successful companies this country has ever seen to grill him on Apple Inc.'s tax strategy (which, by the way, is perfectly legal) so they can try to wring more money out of him.

    "A woman was assaulted by her ex-boyfriend after she called 911 and tried to get an officer at her home. Her call was transferred to the state police because the sheriff's department isn't staffed 24 hours a day or seven days a week, the station said. A dispatcher for the state police said, "Uh, I don't have anybody to send out there. You know, obviously, if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away?""

    (CNN) -- Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber is considering legislation that would declare a public safety emergency in some Oregon counties where residents often have been left to try to fend for themselves. The measure would also impose a temporary income tax on residents of counties unable to pay for public safety workers due to budget cuts.

The U.S. Department of Justice, six state attorneys general and the District of Columbia challenged the proposed merger on Tuesday saying the creation of the world's largest airline that would result would stifle competition, drive up airfares and reduce services.

    i think that soon every state in america will probably jump on the train of legalizing marijuana but i think with the legalization of weed will help with getting us out of debt but for people who smoke weed its going to be taxed very highly so if your going to try to go to dispensaries it will most likely cost you alot more than it would on the streets

    ""Journalists should ask a specific question: ... how many terrorist attacks were prevented SOLELY by information derived from this suspicionless surveillance that could not be gained via any other source? Then ask how many individual communications were ingested to acheive (sic) that, and ask yourself if it was worth it." He added that "Bathtub falls and police officers kill more Americans than terrorism, yet we've been asked to sacrifice our most sacred rights for fear of falling victim to it.""

    i think spending $900,000 per inmate is way to much to be spending on every single inmate that is in the prison
  • Tori Caddell on 08 May 13
     
    Since our national dept is beyond high, it would be a good idea to shut this down, and find other ways to deal with these insane people. Obama may actually be doing something right this time.
  • Colton Tracy on 13 May 13
     
    I think Obama is doing the right thing. We are paying over $900,000 a year to keep one inmate in this prison which is way to much. Other prisons cost anywhere from $30,000-$70,000. I don't get why it costs so much to keep inmates there.
