Anthony Sowell is a name that most of us would like to forget. Sowell is the 50-year-old man in Cleveland found to have 11 corpses in his home after being arrested on a rape charge. His neighbors noticed the smell, but some blamed it on the sausage factory next door.
Sowell&#8217;s case jars [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=boycewatkins.wordpress.com&blog=1530248&post=383&subd=boycewatkins&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

When I heard that Chris Brown hit his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, I was concerned and surprised.&#160; I also found myself irritated by the fact that many women, along with my teenage daughters, were quick to forgive Chris for his actions, primarily because they think he has a great voice and a cute face.&#160; I had little [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=boycewatkins.wordpress.com&blog=1530248&post=382&subd=boycewatkins&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I&#8217;ve always had mixed feelings about Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. I feel that he is better than the previous chairman, Alan Greenspan, but the Fed Chairmanship (like the presidency) is almost never given to the right man. Just the fact that it is almost always given to a man is problematic enough, and the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=boycewatkins.wordpress.com&blog=1530248&post=378&subd=boycewatkins&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
