| Forget about the settlement approved by the county this week that sends $3.25 million to the family of a woman who died in one of Sheriff Joe Arpaio´s jails, the Sheriff is more concerned with bitching about the extra nickel it´s going to cost to feed the inmates tomorrow. The latest press release from the Maricopa County Sheriff´s Office is a bit apologetic in tone, because the cost of the Thanksgiving meal for the inmates this year is five cents more per meal than the crap the inmates eat every other day. The Thanksgiving meal for inmates -- complete with sliced turkey, mashed potatoes and

I am sorry, but he shouldn´t be making a big deal about a lousy 5 cents extra cost per meal. That is just stupid. He agrees that the inmates should be able to have a Thanksgiving meal, so why is he apologizing for the cost?? So much money is often wasted elsewhere...it just make Arpaio look bad when he makes a big deal over nothing.

Green baloney can be dressed up to look almost like turkey.
Turkey´s a relatively cheap meat, though. If Arpaio´s worried about the cost, he can have his staff research suppliers and maybe save a little money.

Doesn´t sound like a legitimate news source.
The Phoenix New Times is a free, weekly Phoenix, Arizona newspaper, put out every Thursday. It is the founding publication of the New Times Media (now Village Voice Media), but The Village Voice is now the flagship publication of that company.
The paper was founded in 1970 by a group of students at Arizona State University, led by Frank Fiore, Karen Lofgren, Michael Lacey, Bruce Stasium, Nick Stupey, Gayle Pyfrom, Hal Smith, and later, Jim Larkin as a counterculture response to the Kent State shootings in the spring of that year. Gary Brennan played a role in its creation. According to the 20th Anniversary issue of the New Times, published on May 2, 1990, Fiore suggested that the anti-war crowd put out its own paper. The first summer issues were called the Arizona Times and assembled in the staff´s La Crescenta apartments across from ASU. The Arizona Times was renamed the New Times as the first college issue went to press in September 1970.

So, the reporter seems to think jail should be more like Club Med than an incarceration institution for law breakers? If they want a fine T-giving meal, they should do all they can, like most of us, to avoid breaking the law and ending up in jail! Desiring to get fine T-giving meals is not why people go to jail.
As for the crazy that died in jail and family got the 3.5 settlement - Arpaio had nothing what-so-ever to do with that settlement and more than likely, the settlement is not settled- it is in negotiation! They never get what is awarded- the two parties enter negotiation to reach something more practical- (I have seen 6 million settled down to fifty grand!)

If you take the tour of Alcatraz, you find out that the convicts were entitled to food that met Bureau of Prisons standards: nutritious, and attractively presented. Alcatraz housed the worst of the worst. Why should a jail, which holds some prisoners who have not yet even been convicted of a crime, treat its prisoners worse than Alcatraz?

If Thanksgiving dinners only cost 5 cents more than baloney sandwiches,then why not serve them everyday? How much more is a roast beef dinner,10 cents more.
If these people weren´t some variety of criminal they could be on the streets eating what they want. They have no reason to bit*h if they´re lawbreakers.
No more than welfare recipients complaining about a $1.30 a day on food stamps.I check food stamp carts all the time. Most of the time I see 6-8 bottles of soda in there.If they´re buying soda instead of food,that´s their tough luck.Fat laden sausages are another fav of the food stampers.Why isn´t this kind of stuff banned if they´re concerned about obesity?

The entire Massachusetts congressional delegation has written a letter urging the Department of Energy to act quickly on Cape Wind’s loan guarantee application so that the first off-shore wind farm in the country can move forward. “Cape Wind is critical for three reasons. It will create much-needed jobs, provide an economic boost to the southern part of the commonwealth and promote the clean-energy technology that is critical to the future of our country,” said Rep.

A Brooklyn federal judge has ordered the Food and Drug Administration to make the morning-after pill available to females of all ages without a prescription. Judge Edward Korman on Friday reversed the FDA´s 2011 decision limiting the over-the-counter availability of the emergency contraceptive known as Plan B to women 17 and older. He gave the agency 30 days to decide only whether the pills’ package should include additional labeling. The standards for determining whether a consumer can understand how to use an over-the-counter drug safely and effectively is the same for aspirin as it is for contraceptives, Korman noted.

Today the Department of Justice inspector general released a report on potential Labor secretary nominee Tom Perez’s DOJ Civil Rights Division. The timing of the release to coincide with his nomination was certainly accidental, because the report paints a damning portrait of the DOJ unit he managed. (The full report is here.) The 250-page report offers an inside glimpse of systemic racialist dysfunction inside one of the most powerful federal government agencies. The report was prepared in response to Representative Frank Wolf’s (R-VA) outrage over the New Black Panther voter intimidation dismissal.

Those who like to deride her as the “fake Indian” should know: Freshman U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren has done more for your wallet in the past two weeks than Scott Brown did in two years and most of Congress has managed in their entire careers. Warren crushed and humiliated, first, federal banking regulators, and then Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke on why both sit on their hands while big banks keep shafting average Americans — even though average Americans’ tax dollars bailed them out. Warren did this calmly, graciously, politely, in complete control and without ever reading a note. And she reduced both Bernanke and Elisse Walter, chairman of the mighty Securities and Exchange Commission, to gulping and stammering.

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court has rejected the state of Alaska’s attempt to remove polar bears from the threatened species list. Friday’s decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has major implications, because polar bears were the first species to be listed solely on the basis of threats to their survival from global warming. The D.C. appeals court affirmed a lower court ruling supporting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s decision to put polar bears on the federal threatened list.

On a modernization spree post-26/11 attacks, the NSG has embarked on a project to create a super commando, what it calls the "future black cat". The project itself is inspired by the US Navy Seals´ Abbottabad operation to kill Osama Bin Laden.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
