Those towns are on the Canadian border. Don't worry it is warm here in the Twin Cities--1 degree.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (AP) -- A woman angry with her 12-year-old daughter for having sex forced the girl to drink bleach and sat on her until the child died, a police detective said.

The girl's 9-year-old brother was forced to watch the attack, Detective Warren Cotton testified Thursday in a preliminary hearing for Tunisia Archie, 31.

Archie is charged with capital murder in the asphyxiation death of her daughter Jasmine. If convicted, she could be sentenced to death or life in prison without parole.

Cotton said Archie, who has been jailed without bond since shortly after her daughter's Nov. 26 death, told authorities she was disturbed because "her daughter told her that she was no longer a virgin."

She said she poured bleach into Jasmine's mouth and the child vomited, he said, then sat on her until she stopped breathing, Cotton testified.

Archie forced Jasmine's 9-year-old brother Jacorey to watch the attack and "told him that if he shed a tear that she was going to kill him, too," Cotton testified

Here in lower "Kollyfornia," it's going to be in the 70s and 80s this week. I wore a cashmere sweater today and I was sweating while helping pack boxes at the food bank.

Las Vegas Weatherman Fired for MLK Slur

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS - A television weatherman was fired after referring to slain
civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. as "Martin Luther Coon
King" on the air, station officials said.

Rob Blair, of KTNV-TV, was delivering the extended forecast Saturday
morning when he said: "Martin Luther Coon King Jr. Day, gonna see some
temperatures in the mid-60s."

Jim Prather, vice president and general manager of the ABC affiliate,
said Blair stumbled when he uttered the remark, but the excuse was not
enough to save his job.

"This kind of incident is not acceptable under any circumstances, and
I'm truly sorry that this event occurred," Prather said.

Blair, who worked at the station for about three months, apologized
during the station's 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts Saturday.

"I in no way intended to offend anyone," he said in the apology. "I'm
very sorry."

No excuses. No stumbling. You don't refer to Dr. King as Coon unless you have issues. I also learned that he also referred to Dr. King as Kong.

(I'm going idealist here, because I know this hemmorhoid will get another job. )

Somebody's career needs to end over this. Hopefully, the National Association of Black Journalists keeps this in a data bank and sends alerts to the Radio-Television News Directors Association or whoever would make hiring decisions on people.
