I thought this was a 15 minute sorta thing (or thang). Turns out it has legs - 4 of them.
A petition was originally filed by the City of Laredo on July 30, 2008.Eventually it was set to be settled in court.
The case was set for trial several times in 2009, according to court documents, but wasn't called.
The case wasn't heard until Sept. 9, 2009, when Judge Elma Teresa Salinas Ender sat in for Lopez.A motion was filed by the plaintiffs to set a new trial date. From that time to the present, the Perezes paid their overdue taxes. Their final payment was just received by one of the local taxing entities recently.
It focuses on a group of lawmen who enact cowboy-style justice in modern times on criminals in San Antonio.
But after 9/11, why would they use this method if they were already in the US? There are literally thousands of places where a suicide bomber could cause widespread panic here without having to go anywhere near an airport. There would be no need to smuggle anything in your underwear or your shoes --- any determined person could find enough explosives in this country to make a bomb without having to go through even one "lovepat" to get it.Here's more video from last night's CNN story on one of Laredo's own.
Where are the wrecks. I just don't see 'em out there. Where's all the accidents?Perhaps he should look here. Or here.
You're only going to go 25 miles an hour.Tom thinks that we would never agree to a lower speed limit even if the benefit was worthwhile. With that conclusion he thinks that the cell phone plan becomes moot. However he misses the point of the secretary's proposal by shoring up his ridiculous analogy. Speed limits and distracted driving cannot be argued in the same way.
We must take every proactive approach to change it and generate that message across all media outlets: billboards, newspapers, magazines, television, radio, internet-based social media and film - consistently and accurately.
But years ago, when we wanted to look professional, we wrote in cursive. And when we forgot how to write a lower case "f," we just scribbled a print "f" and connected it to the next letter, praying nobody noticed. It was a way of life.
compared to some of the states in the United States, such as Hawaii, North Dakota, West Virginia, Vermont, Texas is way, way down the list in terms of the amount of money per capita that is it actually receiving and having funneled to it the earmarking process."Texas lawmakers have to go along (as most republicans do) with this little charade to give us the impression that they are fiscal conservatives. They want to rein in deficit spending and balance the budget. But their efforts really wouldn't amount to much since earmarks don't take up a lot of the actual budget.
slightly more than three-tenths of 1 percent of federal spendingslightly more than three-tenths of 1 percent of federal spendingA lot of this is mostly for show, a lot like what Cuellar does with his pressers. Banning earmarks sounds nice to party loyalists but it's a drop in the bucket to, say, making cuts in defense or ending our involvement in the Middle East.
I passed a movie theater about a mile from the bridge. They were showing that stupid Robert Downey Jr./Zach Galifianakis movie, and as I said, I didn’t have anything to do, so I waited around for the movie to start.Pretty normal until......
In particular, she highlights the rituals inherent in how barrio residents carved out a specific area of land to hold their traditional dances.I've recently heard the Heights neighborhood matachin group practicing. Their drum sounds carries well over into the Chacon. These devoted individuals can't be missed. As I show in the video below, they have formed a tight relationship with the locals.
major chunks of the book comes almost word for word from third party reports that have already been published.
"There's a lot of women that get Medicaid and all of this stuff and I don't think that's right,” said Rachel Sanchez of Freer, Texas.The other lady that commented for the story stated that such help would be "used irresponsibly." Her concern seems to stem from a religious point of view since she goes on to question the value that people put on a human life.
“To prevent pregnancy is not to prevent a disease — indeed, contraception and sterilization pose their own unique and serious health risks to the patient,” the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote in letter to the Department of Health and Human Services in October.Pregancy is not a disease, but a woman's health is certainly affected by pregnancy. I understand that those who are driven by a religious faith are going to come out against this but how does that fit in to the local culture? Think of your friends and family who go to church but aren't exactly a mirror image of the Duggar family. My point is that birth control is more accepted in our culture; it's not in keeping with what religious tenets dictate. But I digress.
"George W Bush has confessed to ordering waterboarding, which in the view of almost all experts clearly passes the severe pain threshold in the definition of torture in international law," Robertson said. "[H]e is an ex-head of state so he is not entitled to immunity from arrest and trial."While I don't think that Bush and his cronies would ever be prosecuted for war crimes, having this little dark cloud hanging over his head will hopefully dispel any myth that he was an honorable and courageous president.
"We want to ensure the public that this allegation in no way reflects on our firefighters who are hardworking individuals that come to work every shift with a mission to save lives and aid those in need," said Steve Landin, the LFD fire chief, in a prepared statement Monday. "Despite this incident, the LFD will continue to move forward as an organization and we, as firefighters, will continue to do the job that we are sworn to do."
A decision by the Fountain Hills Town Council to hire a single trash hauler and begin a curbside recycling program has been met with angry protests from residents who accuse town leaders of overstepping their bounds and taking a leap toward socialism.I suggest these people pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and dispose of their trash on their own time.
Some Republican lawmakers — still reveling in Tuesday’s statewide election sweep — are proposing an unprecedented solution to the state’s estimated $25 billion budget shortfall: dropping out of the federal Medicaid program.The democrats' health care overhaul prevents insurance companies from dropping people who all of a sudden get too expensive to cover. Here in deep red Texas we're taking a page from the insurance industry: drop people when their most vulnerable in order to save our skins.
55 percent of the people want change; almost 55 percent are saying that they wanted change in this community so we're excited about those numbers.I'm not sure where he's getting that number but it might be derived from Raul Salinas' showing of 46 percent on Tuesday. A reporter even asks him where he got that information from and he cites polling results.
