Val Patterson passed away on July 10th, but had the foresight to write his own obituary and he had a few things to get off his chest. His obituary is a model for how all future obituaries should be written.
We’ve all done things we regret and should have come clean about. For Val one of those things was a bit of burgling he did in 1971.

This is pretty unexpected. The life of George Zimmerman just gets more and more sordid. Not only did he kill an unarmed Trayvon Martin in February of this year, a witness for the prosecution, who’s also a family member, has come forward with claims that Zimmerman molested her from the age of six to sixteen.

RMoney’s campaign is making increasingly desperate statements defending, denying, and obfuscating his apparent continued stewardship of Bain Capital from 1999 to 2002 and trying to turn the ship around before it hits an iceberg.

Her head is bowed and she is black in color and in mood. During daylight, you can see the amazing detail and artistic beauty. However, encountering her at night her presence is ominous and threatening. No grass or plant life will grow around her. Continue reading
