  1.      Imagine, the RNC not checking details, facts or accuracy on a claim they make. That fear- based add should be pulled.  Or Shumlin should get equal time to refute.

        Then again, how much advertising we see and hear is actually accurate.  Our society is so full of lies for power or money, or both.  

  2. only this time for the sake of Terri Hallenbeck of the Burlington Free Press


    Though the terms “violent” and “nonviolent” are often used to classify crimes, the state actually categorizes them as either “listed” and “nonlisted.” According to a list provided to the Free Press on Friday by Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito, though state statutes list possession of child pornography as a nonlisted crime, the Corrections Department considers it listed for purposes of offender treatment and release, meaning that those convicted of child pornography would not be among the 780 nonviolent offenders Shumlin said he would target.

    (Dubie presses Shumlin on Corrections, BFP, 09/27/10)

    A 3 day old skunk corpse can understand what Act 157 does regards DEFINING (not listing) child pornography as a violent crime.

    Okay … all together now … this time for Terrie Hallenbeck:
