Saw this story on CNN's website about how a question regarding Michael Brown turned into a beat-down on a white middle-aged man by three black thugs.
And what's more galling is that no one in the car even raised a finger to help; on the contrary some were openly enjoying the scene.
I really wonder where this nation of ours is going sometimes...

Leonard Nimoy...RIP
I was saddened to hear yesterday of the passing of Leonard Nimoy, not only well-known as an actor, but also as a director, poet, and photographer.
From YouTube are a couple of commercials he had done, first was the one he did with William Shatner for Western Airlines in the mid 1980's:
The next one was done just the past year for Audi, and showed him with Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the Star Trek reboot:
Some of the photo shoots he has done was surprising. This image is part of a collection for The Full Body Project
All in all, a very unique and talented man.
He will truly be missed by all.

LV Review Journal - Speak to the press and you might be fired, Henderson tells city employees
Speak to the press and you might be fired, Henderson tells city employees
There is one quote in the article which sent chills down my spine, and would likely do the same for those conversant with history:
“The city is a house of order, so we’re going to do things in an organized fashion,” Snow said.
I could possibly somewhat understand their concerns about making sure the ungarbled word gets out, but to regiment it in such a fashion just keeps reminding me so much of Goebbels in a way that is troublesome.
