The sources of my contempt are Fulton County Superior Court Judge Alice Bonner and convicted murderer Ronald Keith Spivey. In case you missed it, Judge Bonner recently dismissed a hit and run case because two attorneys from Howard’s office were 15 minutes late.

The judge said they were supposed to be there … [Read more...] about Mar. 19, 2001: I am suffering from a bad case of contempt of court.

Mar. 12, 2001: Once again, it is open season in America’s schools.
Two students killed in San Diego. One wounded in Pennsylvania. The very real prospect of future teenage copycats trying to get their 15 minutes of fame. What is going on?
