Convicted cop killer Richard Poplawski sentenced to death.

Now let’s just hope this new Republican governor might help express-lane his wait on death row…

Trooper Ellen E. Engelhardt, who was left in a permanent vegetative state after being struck by a drunk driver in 2003, has died, State Police said today.

Trooper Ellen Engelhardt

“It is with profound sadness that we mourn the loss of Trooper Ellen Engelhardt, who was not just a valued colleague but also a dear friend who dedicated her career to protecting the citizens of our state. Since suffering the tragic injuries inflicted upon her in the line of duty by a drunk driver, Trooper Engelhardt has been an inspiration to every member of this Department for the courage, grace and dignity with which she lived,” Colonel Marian J. McGovern, the superintendent of the State Police, said in a statement.

Engelhardt was injured when a car traveling at nearly 100 miles per hour slammed into her cruiser, which was parked in the breakdown lane of Route 25 in Wareham.

The drunk driver, William P. Senne, who was 18 at the time of the crash, was sentenced in 2005 to 2 1/2 years in the Plymouth County House of Correction.

State Police said Engelhardt suffered “traumatic and life-altering injuries” in the crash on July 26, 2003. Her death is considered a “line-of-duty” death, and she is the 32nd member of the force to be killed in the line of duty since the agency’s founding.

A 2.5 year sentence is an absolute disgrace. What’s done is done, though, and cannot be changed; hopefully young Mr. Senne will live with this memory for the rest of his life.

Godspeed, Trooper Engelhardt…

Dear President Obama:

I am writing today with a somewhat unusual request.
First and foremost, I am asking that you return America to its
August 20th, 1959 borders, so that Hawaii is no longer a state
and you are no longer a citizen.

Sincerely,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Hypocrite much?

From an eternally grateful nation, God Bless you all, members of the Armed Forces.

Here’s a little bit of history, courtesy of the DoD:

President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country.

On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under one department — the Department of Defense.
 

 

 

 
 

  
From the NRA – a nice video tribute to those that really count, that get the job done every day, and don’t seek fame or credit for it….

Classic.

Obama: “I just miss – I miss being anonymous”

Shenanigans!! Oh please! You’re the most narcissistic President to date!

Seriously, if you really miss that, why don’t you skip the re-election campaign for 2012?  Yeah, I thought so…
