Jerk of the Week - President Obama Obama has worked hard this last week to live up to his high standards of screwing over America. For his back-and-forth arguments on Syria, his desecration of the Benghazi dead, and for seeking any way to exempt Big Labor from obeying the law that us peons have to, Obama easily wins our Jerk of the Week honors.

Who cares, all those murders are in Leftist cities and yet the Leftists run story after story about how dangerous rural gun owners are and their huge unregistered arsenals of assault weapons. Give me a friggin break. The Leftists are afraid of their gravy train ending not gun murders.

The press reported things back then. I've read old newspapers and they were very frank. If someone went to town and got drunk and fell under their buggy coming home and was dragged to death, the local paper would print all the details with no euphemisms. Thomas “Tom” Ogles was shot and killed by officials near Fountain Church, a few miles south of Marion, Williamson County last week, and was buried in Fountain Cemetery. He and his brother, Ben Ogles, were horse thieves. Ten year ago Tom jumped from the courthouse window during his trial for stealing wheat. (See also 16 Jul 1898, and 1 Oct 1898, issues.) ...... Kitty May Sams Tanner, widow of George Tanner, who shot himself in Kentucky some time ago, committed suicide by poisoning herself Monday (12 Dec 1898) at her room in the Farmers Hotel in Cairo, Alexander County, and was buried in Jonesboro Cemetery. She was the daughter of Mrs. Joseph Keyser, of Jonesboro. She married William Hess, of Jonesboro, and had two children, both of whom died in infancy. She and Hess then separated and later she shot and killed Ransom Sampson and wounded his wife in Cairo in a jealous rage, but was acquitted. .........
