I have also felt like this about the Jena case:
"What The Hell Happened in Jena? I haven't commented because, frankly, I am still unsure of all the details of the case..."

How much money do you dribble away, a dollar at a time?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans are spending roughly $48 a week on ... who knows what? They certainly can't remember, according to a new survey by Visa.
A lot of people on the right are all exercized over Hilary Clinton's characterization of Dick Cheney:
September 20, 2007 -- Hillary Clinton pulled out her light saber last night at a fundraiser in New York as she called Vice President Dick Cheney "Darth Vader."
Another exciting idea from a Democratic presidential candidate:
ABC News' Teddy Davis and Nancy Flores Report: Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson called Wednesday for obese Americans to be brought under the protection of the Americans for Disabilities Act.
Go ahead, drive like an idiot. Then, just hire a lawyer:
Whether you live in South Bend, Crown Point, Indianapolis, Valparaiso, or another Indiana town or city, you may have racked up a few traffic tickets. You may not think that traffic tickets warrant engaging the services of a criminal defense lawyer, but if you\'re faced with the potential suspension of your driver\'s license, you might want to think again.

Hugo Chavez, in his own zone if not his own little world:
CARACAS (Reuters) - President Hugo Chavez wants Venezuelan clocks turned back half an hour and he wants it done in record time -- next Monday.
These don't seem like very good marks:
A statewide poll released today found most people surveyed think the Indiana General Assembly is doing at least a fair job.
A total of 65 percent of those surveyed in a WISH (Channel 8) poll rated legislator's performance as fair, good or excellent.
Oh, no. What will we argue about now?
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — After a maddening two years in which Indiana residents saw the official time shift this way and that, it looks like the pendulum is finally about to stop swinging.
No, I wasn't shocked that someone who had been a reporter for 15 years, pesumably with a front-row seat for the stupidity of criminals, would think he could rob a bank without things going terribly wrong:
Lowery, who had disguised himself, then walked into the bank carrying a single-shot sawed-off shotgun and about 25 shotgun shells, the reports indicate.
Forget O.J. and the stalking astronaut and the tasered college-student jerk, entertainment-news junkies. I have a Courtney Love bulletin:
Courtney Love wants to launch her own perfume but is worried nobody wants to smell like her.
The former Hole singer - who has battled drink and drug addiction - wants to lay to rest her rebellious image and reinvent herself before she brings out the signature scent.
It was just 30 years ago that the guillotine was last used in France. That method of execution, as horrible as it sounds to us today, was adopted during the French Revolution as a more humane method of capital punishment than some of the methods then employed. In this country, our search for the most humane way of execution has taken us from hanging to firing squad to electric chair to gas chamber to lethal injection. The search continues:
Look, I know I'm a libertarian crank who sees Big Government lurking in every nook and cranny. And I know Americans are so dispirited about health care that a majority are ready for a federal "solution." But, God almighty, do you have any idea of what these people are thinking about?
1. Why do the news media still treat Jesse Jackson as a serious person deserving serious coverage instead of the race-baiting charlatan he is?
2. How has he managed to peddle his nonsense with public funds -- that would be you and me paying for him -- all these years instead of being forced to do honest, productive work?
His latest:
The Rev. Jesse Jackson called Tuesday on Democrats seeking the 2008 nomination for president to give S.C. voters “something to vote for” when they go to the polls in January.
If you ever get disgusted with city officials here, just imagine how much worse it could be:
Get 'em while they're young, and you'll have 'em for life:
This is the third in a three-part series analyzing why Northwest Indiana league bowling is still thriving while the rest of the country watches its numbers drop. This week focuses on the influx of high school bowlers in recent years.
It's always been the foundation of bowling, at least in the last 20 years or so.
When the Army shipped me overseas, all I got was a bunch of vaccines for whatever bugs they thought I might encounter over there:
Before they leave for Iraq, thousands of troops with the 101st Airborne Division line up at laptop computers to take a test: basic math, matching numbers and symbols, and identifying patterns. They press a button quickly to measure response time.
Indianapolis architect Jim Schellinger must feel like an idiot. He got in early for the race against Gov. Mitch Daniels, spent a lot of time and raised a lot of money, and he's dead last in the hearts of Democrats:
Just in case any of you thought our sharp political divide was not affecting the courts:
Tag, you're busted!
Prosecutors put the city's spray-paint graffiti artists on notice Tuesday, charging a 21-year-old Fort Wayne man accused of causing about $20,000 in damages to area businesses last year with 51 counts of criminal mischief, one of them a felony.
Today's "Well, duh" story:
First-year students whose roommates brought a video game player to college studied 40 minutes less each day on average, according to a new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research. Those 40 minutes of lost study time translated into first-semester grades that were 0.241 points lower on the 4.0 grade scale.
