In the West Ward of Trenton, Councilwoman Annette Lartigue is drafting an ordinance to fine or enforce community service to curb this national epidemic.

I hope he'll join me at Bible Study for Atheists, where my next reading will be Exodus 29. I'm sure he'll find it captivating, starting with verse #10:

12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.

13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar.

I'm glad Michael Vick is being treated humanely with the opportunity at a reduced sentence, because I don't want any more of us to become like him, to be devoid of empathy or common decency.
