Medical staff at an Indian hospital abandoned their patients and fled for safety as fire and smoke poured through the building, leaving 73 people dead, many from smoke inhalation.
The EPA has debated regulating "farm dust". Farm dust. The legislature just passed a law preventing them from doing it. One part of the government legislating against the other. Farm dust.
After the Duke Lacrosse lie, I will never believe a story up front, especially sexual allegations. I don't know what to make of this Penn State problem. I do know that Caesar's wife must be above suspicion and many of these institutions do not see that.
