Arizona authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Aspen socialite Pamela Phillips in connection with a car-bombing that killed her ex-husband, Gary Triano, 12 years ago. "Pima County (Tucson, Ariz.) Sheriff Clarence Dupnik also announced Friday at a press conference that Ronald Young, 66, was arrested earlier that morning in Yorba Linda, Calif., on charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and first-degree murder. Phillips faces the same charges. Authorities believe Phillips paid Young $400,000 to kill her ex-husband, Gary Triano, on Nov. 1, 1996, so she could collect on a $2 million life insurance policy. Phillips and Triano, who was a real estate investor and developer, divorced in 1993."

Stop The Madness-Lock Up The Knives, Post blogger Mitch Mulhall takes a look at some fresh examples of knife violence and proposes seven sure-fire measures to wipe out knife violence for good. "Death by stabbing is all too common," Mulhall writes. "If only it were it possible to limit knife ownership, we could curb this unnecessary form of violence. Although I would personally like to see as many civilian-owned knives eliminated from mainstream society as possible, I realize that this is not a politically realistic goal... my own, seven-point plan for knife control, if adopted, can help put an end to knife violence once and for all."

Cory Voorhis is a 15-year agent of the Bureau Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)/Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Before that he spent two years as a U.S. Border Patrolman in the San Diego Sector, then the most illegally trammeled section of our 2200-mile southern border.
As a criminal investigator, Cory was responsible for busting up the notorious Castorena crime family, a Guadalajara, Mexico-based organization that produced millions of high-quality false documents—driver’s licenses, birth certificates and Social Security cards. Many of those phony documents are now held by violent gang bangers. Cory Voorhis has been a major asset to America.
So why then is the U.S. government wrongfully prosecuting Cory for doing nothing illegal? Why has Cory been suspended without pay from his job at ICE when he hasn’t even gone to trial? Why aren’t the authorities investigating all of those involved in this case, including Gov. Ritter, former congressman Bob Beauprez, the Denver DA’s office, The (527) Trailhead Group and the Colorado GOP?

Suppose the 12 million to 20 million illegals in the U.S., including Colorado's 250,000, were to dream up the ultimate boycott, a year-long vanishing act to show how "essential" they are to the nation's and state's economies. So they all board a giant teleporter and beam up, from where they watch with satisfaction the wailing and gnashing of teeth of all those too unconnected to their surroundings to mow their own lawns, too irresponsible and presumptuous to raise the children they produce, too dull and uninspired to cook for themselves, and too gentrified to clean up after themselves.
Here's what they would also see that dream year: Workers' wages, benefits and conditions would be improving, especially for our more chronically marginalized workers. The shrinking American working middle class would be expanding. Schools would be less crowded, with education costs lower. Shamefully high school dropout rates would be reversing, and CSAP scores would be trending upward. Our health-care system wouldn't be under assault.

Whether hawk or dove, I think most would agree that it is our veterans to whom we owe our greatest obligation. But from the Walter Reed Army Medical Center outrage to exposé after exposé, it seems the United States government just cannot summon the resources, funding and interest to meet that supreme obligation.
Yet it would seem that same government just cannot do enough to make life comfortable for illegal aliens. An august, 2004, study by the nonpartisan Center for Immigration Studies found that “based on Census Bureau data, …households headed by illegal aliens used $10 billion more in government services than they paid in taxes in 2002. And that’s just at the federal level!

A group formed to help the ICE agent charged with abusing his authority by unlawfully accessing a national crime data base is calling for a federal grand jury investigation of Gov. Ritter and unnamed others.
Mike McGarry, a spokesman for Cory Legal Defense, an “ad hoc committee formed to raise funds to help pay the legal costs” of ICE agent, Cory Voorhis, said the revelations that governor Bill Ritter and some of his key associates in the Denver DA’s office themselves may have violated the same laws Voorhis is charged violating is evidence of a double standard. “We seem to have a double standard here. One for the political elites and another for the average Joe,” McGarry said.
The group is calling for a federal grand jury to investigate the allegations, which were cited in documents filed in U.S. District Court in Denver by Voorhis’ attorneys. "For governor Ritter the former chief law enforcement officer of Denver, to be involved in this duplicity and skullduggery is something all Coloradans should be disgusted by," McGarry said. “We should never get to a place in this country where the political elites act on the idea that the ends justify unlawful means."

According to a report in the Aspen Daily News, Police are asking citizens and business owners to “stay alert” after a string of burglaries in the Roaring Fork Valley.
The article quoted Basalt Police Sgt. Roderick O’Conner as saying, “If people see anything suspicious in an alley or behind a store, they need to let us know.”
Okay, but how does one determine that something or someone is, in fact, “suspicious”? For example, I would consider a raven with video surveillance equipment taped to its head “suspicious”, but my friend might consider it “cool”, or even “funny”. And does suspiciousness only occur in alleys and behind stores? What if I see a man in a Richard Nixon mask trying to open a safe with a stethoscope, but the safe is not located in an alley or behind a store? Would this simply be “odd”, as opposed to “suspicious” and, therefore, require no action on my part?

There was a noise at the back door. A sudden crack. My muscles tightened. My heart was racing. My mind buzzed frantically. I looked at the clock. It was 2:47 a.m. I reached under the bed and grabbed the hammer I had stashed, the only decent weapon in the house. Might I actually have to use it? Might I have to defend myself and my family from an intruder? This can’t be happening.

Let me start out by thanking New York State Assemblymen Jim Tedisco and Greg Ball for their leadership in convening this hearing to hopefully avert the implementation of policy that would represent a serious threat to national security and an egregious violation of law. I have been working closely with Assemblyman Ball over the last year or so, to help him to combat the immigration crisis on a local level, within the communities he represents.
This past weekend, Greg contacted me to discuss with me the fact that incredibly, Governor Spitzer had announced a plan to provide New York State driver’s licenses to aliens regardless of their immigration status.
