You are actually wasting web and paper space wanting to know more about his "transgressions?" Are you that petty to need to fill in the "x-rated details?" There are bigger issues out there, Mr. Booher. As a journalist I expect much better out of you. Save the tabloid fodder for the tabloids. If you make decisions to buy products / services based upon a celebrity endorsement, instead of need and perceived value, etc., you are very shallow and misinformed.
(sigh) I suppose it is necessary for Emergency Services (including fire, EMS and 911 dispatchers) to at least know some foreign key phrases to keep the public safe. Other than that, why in the world is it English speakers need to cross over to a new language? Would it not correctly be the responsibility of our new citizens (presumably all legally documented and not here illegally, of course)to make the effort to learn English? Maybe I'm a little fornicated up in the head, but the last time I checked English is still (so far) the official language of this nation. If someone from the U.S. was to move to another country he/she would presumably be doing their best to learn the language of the land. Kinda a "home-field" expectation comes into play.
One can only imagine what is going to happen once your President Allah Bama sets his sights on immigration legislation.
It's called a MINIMUM wage! It's NOT a wage to be lived on. It was designed mostly for students to gain employment while learning a job skill. I can only guess how many people will lose their jobs thanks to the government once again determining what a job is worth, instead of an employer offering a job at a rate he / she decides and seeing if someone with a proper skill set would be willing to work for that given rate.
It is about the Imperialistic Government siezing more power. Give those who need everything they want and more, and they will continue to vote for you (i.e. Dems).
It is a sad day when success is punished. Though I am no where close to being a millionaire, it is unfathomable to me that a major wealth redistribution plan is in the works. A small business owner is going to have to make some tough decisions if suddenly about 5% of his / her income is being focibly taken away to pay for an underachiever's (either by choice or circumstance) health care.
I shudder to think what kind ow world our children will inherit from this.
Laws are made to protect people from the stupidity of themselves and others. For those who want to ride helmetless, God Bless Ya. I'll have a sheet ready to cover up your bloodied worthless carcass and a body bag to zip you up in. Please tell your relatives and friends not to come to the crash site, though. Seeing their grief is really a downer!
Also sign a waiver that you are 100% responsible for all expenses that are related to your stupidity.
Pettiness continues to hold this city back. Whether it is Duelling Libraries, Police vs. Sheriff fighting for parking and office space, this is just another embarrassment. Get the money from the Feds (it's your money to begin with, duh!) and then figure out how to best serve the city (not necessarily just one part of the city).
Also, what exactly is meant by "...your eves are brown?" Can we get an editor who edits with something other than Spellcheck? A newspaper is supposed to be a bastion of grammatical integrity. This newspaper fails miserably seemingly on a daily basis.
Those welcoming this new arrival with open arms are in a September 10, 2001 mentality. All the rules changed the next morning. Does amyone here want to see another picture of a firefighter carrying a dead local child in his arms out of pile of rubble that used to be a building?
Since this still is the USA, the Islamic Center of Greater St. Joseph should be welcomed with open arms. And a huge dose of caution.
To redeem himself, Tiger needs to tell us more

Soooooooooo, the less energy I use, the more I can be charged in the name of conservation? Out-freaking-standing.
