Here in Washington State:

"Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones announced plans to hold homeowners in the Larson Housing area accountable for crimes committed on the properties they own."

He doesn't say how he will hold home owners responsible for crimes committed on their property, but civil forfeiture is the only legal option I know of.

After the story was printed in the local paper people were upset, and he decided to clarify his statements. https://www.facebook.com/GrantCoSheriff/posts/338345812994397

He is only targeting "absentee private landlords" ie people who rent out their house but do not live in the city.

"I am clarifying this because I don’t want hardworking live-in homeowners in the Larson Community to think law enforcement will be holding them solely responsible for someone else's criminal actions which happen on their property."

Now that the locals think they are safe and only property owners from Seattle are being targeted, the story disappeared.

If you live in Grant County, please vote this guy out.

Cocker always looked more like a parody of Belushi than vice versa...his movements and expressions are -so- weird, they're just not believable as an actual performance.


He looks positively possessed! =oD

Thanks for making this a race issue.

There's a difference in being racist and making an observation about race. Are most rappers black? If I answer yes, does that make me racist? The irony in this video comes from the fact that it looks like soccer mom just hopped in the car and is fixing to blast Tom Jones. You don't expect the music or the reaction.


You're not prejudiced because you think the majority of rappers are black, you're prejudiced because you think the majority of people who listen to rap are black and you expect soccer moms to listen to Tom Jones.

Sorry, I put the winking smiley face in that comment so you'd know I was teasing.


Damn you small winky face! You're so small!!

*Tom Jones

Tom Jones, Steve Jones, Rita Jones, traffic cones - awesome!

I'll take your Prince and raise you a great cover by Tom Jones...


I'd link to the video here on the Sift, but it's blocked.

The nail in the coffin of Kids will be when Tom Jones covers it. Maybe he already has...

that's "the carlton". crank up the Tom Jones.

1973? Wow... so many years after Elvis was first on TV and they still film Tom Jones from the waist up if he wiggles his hips.

I'd have to say it was my parents, who listened to Linda Rondstadt, the Eagles, and the Beatles. Except that they also listened to Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdinck, and Conway Twitty, so maybe I'm just so awesome I figured out the whole rock and roll thing on my own. That and I have been in love with the idea of the musician alone on stage with his/her guitar. There's something really romantic in the image that I've always liked. A few of my family members play guitar and some of my favorite childhood memories are of them playing guitar while various others took turns singing.

After getting over my horrendous Debbie Gibson/Tiffany phase, I picked up Queen, Guns and Roses, REO Speedwagon, The Motels and Joe Cocker from an uncle who had them lying around. Talking Heads and then, later, 90s grunge was the first rock I got into that felt like it was not inherited from someone else, and now I'm inclined to pretty much give a listen to anything at least once, because who knows what might be out there...

Current favorites at the moment: Death Cab for Cutie, System of a Down, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (though most of the new CD is kind of a drag), Weezer, Silverchair, etc.
