And do I let the old building code appeals board guy in me come out? Panama doesn't have the BOCA code, let alone the hardcore California one. STILL, we really need to look at building standards in this country.

Compare our two legal opinions and ad in actuarial projections and I'd say that we more or less concur. Any significant time in prison is for Trump the rest of his life.

I have a different legal opinion about this than Sabrina Haake's -- but then she's a far more successful lawyer than I ever was. Trump's bizarre invite is enough to put him in prison for life www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

7.2 on the Richter scale, epicenter to the east of Panama City!!! The power is back on, but not all of the Internet. Minor damage visible to some of houses -- and my usual bus stop -- but prolonged aftershocks kept people sitting outside their homes for fear of something worse.

The poor kid. Believe me, as a traumatized survivor of gun violence in my childhood. The boy may not have been punctured by a bullet but he was definitely harmed.

If the only relevant stories are economic, that's a tragic point of view. Thing is, this kid has been left orphaned. He has most definitely been harmed. Is concentration camp for kids, and deportation to a place he does not know, next for him?

I am a traumatized survivor of gun violence when I was a kid. I was a bit older than this little boy, and it was not as if some unknown hateful enemy shot a parent in my presence. The screaming nightmares went away decades ago but lasted into and affected my adult life.

I had a friend who was dying of cancer and doing time for terrorism-related offenses, who ended up being confined with Bakker in the lock ward of the Mayo Clinic. It's a federal prison. The others left the severely depressed Bakker alone. Nobody wanted to drive him over the edge.

One of the scandals heating up Brazil is a charge for which trial has been put off until after the election. Panamanians would recognize the overall scheme as a botellas and kickbacks arrangement. Prosecutors say fraud and embezzlement to the tune or some $1.6 million US dollars.

But Baier also did Popeye, Bullwinkle, the late Detroit Mayor Coleman Young and other voices. A special treat was his Bullwinkle political commentary, "Issues and Antlers." How did Boris Badenov put it? "That stupid moose!"

A trip down Memory Lane, to Detroit rock radio decades ago, when Jim Johnson and George Baier teamed up on WRIF as JJ and The Morning Crew. Baier was the man of many voices, most famously his imitation of Dick The Bruiser.

For the first time, we’re partnering with labor unions to speed up and modernize hiring for city jobs. It should be easy, fast, and fair to find a good-paying job serving the city we call home — and after 100 years, we’re due for an update.

A 911 call from Salem, Oregon, describes a disturbing encounter in which a woman was screaming that she was a U.S. citizen as ICE goons broke her vehicle window and forcibly pulled her out. According to reporting on the call, the woman suffered a concussion, torn rotator cuff and bruised ribs.

As I emerge from a deep September hole, a few modest apparel purchases. $10 on two new baseball hats (gorras, in Panamanian Spanish). The generic Panama hat I wear through US Election Day. It's blue, the right color. The Cocle hat is the provincial colors, mostly red with blue and gray trim.

As I recall, Foghorn Leghorn was a cartoon character based on the satirical fictional radio personality, Senator Beauregard Claghorn. One running gag was that his wife would call him with no response -- until she started to play Dixie on the piano.
