Missing post

A keen observer pointed out that I forgot to post a missing person of the week last week (as I said I would do a while back when I posted info on some cold cases). And then he suggested someone to feature.

Osama Bin Laden

I sincerely doubt that a post about the (depending on your political and religious leanings) most reviled person on the planet or the biggest hero of Islam would do much good in finding him. Do they have wireless internet access in Tora Bora? Most likely, no.

But the person who suggested it will be pleased I took his advice. So if you see Osama, call the authorities. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming:

Jason Jolkowski—This adorable young man, sometimes known as J.J., disappeared from his Omaha, Neb., home in June 2001. No sign or word from him since. Some people have suggested he's a runaway, but his family says that's improbable. People do not just vanish into thin air. Someone knows something.

Rachel Cooke—What a picture of the "all-american girl." An accomplished cross-country runner, 20-year-old Rachel left her home near Georgetown, Texas, Jan. 10, 2002, for her morning jog. Sometime around 11 a.m., she disappeared. Beautiful girl. Jogging alone. No signs of her. The only conclusions people have come up with are disturbing ones. Particularly heart wrenching is the online journal her father has kept since she went missing. It's on the rachelcookesearch.org web site you can get to by clicking on her name above.

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...

What's in a name? Everything.

I'm appalled. You can call it King or Duke or Princess or M'lady of Everloving Windsor. But you cannot call it Queen. It is not Queen. Will never be Queen again. Freddie Mercury was the heart and soul and voice and face and pianist and songwriter and co-founder of that '70s & '80s phenomenal English rock band. Yet, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor have trotted some singer named Paul Rodgers on stage, on tour, on a new album, and are calling themselves Queen. Technically, they're referring to themselves as Queen + Paul Rodgers. I'm sorry, but two washed-up has-been musicians and some former singer for Bad Company does not somehow magically make it OK to blaspheme Freddie like this. The band HE fronted was the one inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. MTV named Mercury the second greatest singer in the history of popular music. I realize that many bands suffer this fate as members retire or die and others t...
