THINK AGAIN, JENNY/JENNIE

who lifted her restraining order and seems on the road to going back to an abusive husband.

I hope the tape of your comments isn't played again after some tragedy to you or the children.

IF the restraining order was valid in the bright sun of summer, so  is it valid in the twinkle of Christmas tree lighting.

I am weary of hearing "apologies" from politicans who are only sorry that they've been caught. I'd believe contrition if the individual called a press conference to declare a mea culpa when it looked as if they'd successfully gotten away with whatever moral or legal offense. When I teach high school students, I make a point of explaining that I don't want to hear "sorry" when they aren't sorry for more than being taken to task. Thanks!
