Thou Shalt not Kill
By Bob Robinson
Every year, about this time, Jane comes home with a pretty, new

| NOTES
FROM
THE
EDITOR - TODAY IS FRIDAY, MAY 20,
2011 |
Today’s
“Opinion” was first published in 2004. It’s timeless, just as relevant
today as it was then. If you’ve read it, it’s worth another read. If
you haven’t… be prepared. It’s not an easy read, but worth your time, I
think. In News:
Health care for prisoners costs Ohio more than $200M annually;
President Obama short on campaign surrogates; and Brunner still owes
charities. Blogs:

budget debate we all deserve; and Romney, By Dick Morris & Eileen
