May you spend it with family, and enjoy your children. Don't drink and drive, WEAR YOUR SEATBELT (because that saves lives), and be careful around fireworks.

Sue Bell Cobb Will NOT Be Running For Governor....this year

The Birmingham News and Montgomery Advertiser both had a special rendition of this "I think" great news, that Sue Bell Cobb will not be running for Governor of Alabama. However, to my dismay, she is STILL Chief Justice, and still has the power of Alabama courts in her hands. Some of her rulings in the past, have not been based on the Alabama Rules of Procedure, but rather on her personal feelings,and I cringe everytime I think about her being Chief Justice. I hope someone else will run against her, when her next campaign comes up. I will definitely help them with their campaign.

Death Row Inmate Thomas Arthur Awaiting DNA Test Results!

Thomas Arthur is sitting at Atmore, awaiting DNA test results that could exonerate him. His daughter Sherrie Stone, MUST be on pins and needles.

I have maintained contact with Thomas since reading about him in "American Injustice" back in 2000. The article left a lasting impression on me, and I have always believed in Thomas' innocence.

On November 28, 2007, I personally filed a complaint against Governor Bob Riley, in an attempt to postpone the execution of Thomas Arthur, until he could be granted DNA testing.

On November 30, 2007, Judge Myron Thompson of the Middle District of Alabama, issued an ORDER stating "For good cause shown, it is ordered that, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. Section 636, this case is referred to the United State Magistrate Judge for Consideration and Disposition or Recommendation on all pre-trial matters as may be appropriate."

Last year another inmate came forward and said he was the killer of Troy Wicker. Now, we all await DNA testing to see who the real killer is. You might remember, that on the same day as this other inmate, Bobby Ray Gilbert came forward, Troy King and Clay Crenshaw said the rape kit and other physical evidence in the case, was MISSING. Troy King immediately filed for another execution date, (without DNA TESTING), but was denied by all courts. You can read more about Thomas Arthur's case by going to the following link.

Michael Jackson Paternity of children, in question?

It appears there "could be" a question as to the paternity and maternity of the two oldest children of Michael Jackson. TMZ reports that neither Michael OR Debbie Rowe, are the biological parents. (although Debbie Rowe carried the children as a surrogate). US Weekly is reporting that Michael Jackson's DERMATOLOGIST Arnold Klein is the biological father. This just gets more and more bizarre.

BILLY MAYS...enlarged heart...heart disease

The autopsy results for Billy Mays showed that he had an enlarged heart. I found this to be an interesting health tidbit..."Dr. Vernard Adams told reporters that Mays' heart weighed 500 grams, or about 17.6 ounces. A typical male heart weighs about 10-12 ounces."

"DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA"....I'm STAYING!!

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is not quitting over the recent scandal of "hiking the Appalachian Trail" visit to Argentina to visit his lover. He certainly gave a new meaning to the Appalachian Trail, don't ya think? I knew there were a lot of hikers, but "hiker" Mark will not live this one down, for a long time LOL!

Just to be fair to the Appalachian Trail, here is a bit of info on the Trail, also.

At a spanned distance of 2,178 miles, the Appalachian Trail is the longest "marked" trail in the United States. It touches 14 STATES!!
