>The 56-foot yacht in Jupiter, Fla., used by the two judges.<

Flabby passive voice.

About twenty years ago, three Hillsborough County commissioners were caught taking bribes. I think Shouldn't you know before you start slandering them?these were Joe Kotvos, Fred Anderson, and Jerry Bowmer.

Dr. Lennard led the campaign with Dr. James Hamilton and Mr. Davis--or maybe it was Black; I get them mixed up-- Again, check your facts before you start.to give Mr. Erwin the runaround when Mr. Erwin tried for two years to get them to do something about the crimes he had discovered: kickbacks, rigged bids, shoddy construction of schools, and plain stealing of such things as tractors and even toilet paper by the grounds supervisor. Flabby passive voice.

The board looked the other way or some members participated, and the others looked the other way. Proper punctuation would help this sentence.

In fact Shudder., they are rapidly disappearing.

The readers slide to the semi literate of the population while savvy citizens switch to online news and blogs.

If an imperilled newspaper management were smart--and it isn't--look at that dope who owns the NYT, Dauphin Sulzberger, it would switch to Web sites with the local news its emphasis. Online news does not cover local but national news.
The removal of the bit in parenthesis renders the sentence nonsensical (and a run-on sentence).

I can then see a transition of readers to the smart local paper's blog for local news; then they would switch to blogs for differnt takes on local stories and the national and international news Webs for that level of news.

I heard Andrew Barnes at an ACLU hoedown fifteen years ago impugning the Internet's effect on news compared to With, with, with! the purity of local newspapers immaculate productions.

So much for Andy. Mr. Tash was Mr. Barnes's Sancho Panza, so he now manages with the same dim principles even though his parents were teachers and he graduated summa cum laude from some Iowa school--or maybe it was Ohio-- Check your facts for excelling in hayseed scholarship that did not include learning to punctuate or to assess a business situation and make the right moves to stay on the sunny side of economics.

One wants the institution that cares for the intellectual development of our children to be pure..

Such a belief contaminates the romance of schools being What? No possessive before gerund? the pristine and potent center of democracy's training the young to practice ideal democreacy when they are grown.

The board said noting about this rape of the tax payers and apparently did nothing to confirm that Dr. Hamilton's job was a faux position.

So if the board condones featherbedding jobs paid for by taxpayers Flabby passive voice. , maybe it is possible that one accepted a financial bailout from the administration with tax dollars.

I looked at the NYT front page to see what President Obama was going to do with the auto industry, Comma splits compound predicate and ran across the following shocker of public officials' crime.

Like the crime in the school sytem, people around these two judges knew about the crime Comma needed here but like the workers and teachers in the schools didn't say anything for fear of losing their jobs.
