On just about every level, this is a depressing tale to tell.
On Dec. 21, 1988, Moammar Gaddafi killed Theodora Cohen. That's one way of putting it. Cohen was one of 259 passengers and crew on Pan Am Flight 103. I remember her for obvious reasons and also because, to paraphrase the writer Erich Maria Remarque, the death of one woman is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic. Gadhafi has his statistics, but it is tragedy we are talking about today. There is much more to come.
President Obama is a dispassionate guy; a man who likes to analyze problems without emotion. He also likes to take his time while making important decisions.

Can we stop acting as if people who work for the government are the heroes of working people?
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said last week that he will be exploring a run for the presidency in the weeks ahead.
I wrote a letter to the newspaper not too long ago, saying I thought the elected persons of Bastrop were doing a good job. That was before I learned of the city trying to do a quick takeover of Peoples Water and Atmos Energy.
One of the odder exchanges I've ever seen during a congressional hearing involved Attorney General Eric Holder, Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith and the phrase "radical Islam."
As a resident who lives in the Log Cabin area, I would like to show my support for the one cent sales tax which will be dedicated to road maintenance in the unincorporated areas of the parish.
I am not officially speaking for Morehouse Economic Development Corporation, but as the director of this organization it is my job to “sell” this parish. Good road infrastructure is one of our biggest challenges in attracting new employers.
