Denied

The same rotten justice system that paroled early the burglar who raped and stole away the life of a talented newswoman and beautiful person may have finally done something right. It has denied him bail.

I also wonder where the scum, Brian M. Walters, got the black eye he was sporting as he appeared this morning in St. Louis County Circuit Court. The angry, vengeful woman in me secretly hopes Nancy gets credit for giving him a mere fraction of what he deserves. The rest of me doesn't want to go there, to her last moments, to wonder whether she had an opportunity to fight back and took it. I don't want to think of how she died, I just want to celebrate the happy life she led and shared with others.

For more insight into Nancy's life and legacy, please read the words of Post-Dispatch columnist Bill McClellan.

Also, Web site visitors were invited to share their thoughts about Nancy. Some were former coworkers, others -- like me -- looked to her as a mentor, yet others knew her only through her Saturday Lifestyle columns. Because she shared so much of herself in those columns, readers felt they knew her like a close friend or family member.

This senseless crime has devastated many, because Nancy touched everyone who knew her. Even those who never met her.

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
