Breaking news on the looming disaster known as Al Gore syndrome

PARIS - Scientists and government officials are falling far behind in their attempts to come up with an authoritative report on global warming but not because of major disagreements among more than 100 nations and dozens of scientists.

The problem is wrangling over the wording and nuances of general language, and the new found real reason of Global Warming……….

Living in the Cracker state.

TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- A college student who told police she had been raped was jailed for two days after officers found an old warrant accusing her of failing to pay restitution for a 2003 theft arrest.

The woman was in Tampa on Saturday for Gasparilla, an annual pirate-theme parade that draws thousands of people. She said she was walking alone to her car when a man pulled her behind a building and raped her, McElroy said.

She reported the rape Saturday afternoon, and officers took her to a rape crisis center where she was given the first of two doses of the morning-after pill, McElroy said. The second dose is supposed to be taken within 24 hours.

Later, as she was riding in a patrol car trying to locate the crime scene in the dark, police found the warrant stemming from a 2003 juvenile arrest for grand theft and burglary. It said she owed $4,585.


"They stopped the investigation right there" and put her in handcuffs, Moore said.

While she was behind bars, a jail worker refused to give her a second dose of the morning-after contraceptive pill because of the worker's religious convictions, the college student's attorney said.

Moore said the young woman was not allowed to take the second emergency contraceptive pill until Monday afternoon, a day late, after reporters called police and jail officials.

Here is a great idea

"Like a lot of folks in this state I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes these taxes as it sees fit. In order for me to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random drug test, which I have no problem with.

"What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a drug test. Shouldn't one have to pass a drug test to get a welfare check? I have to pass one to earn it for them."

Great idea. It would not be an invasion of privacy because the welfare recipient would have a choice. Don't take the test, don't get the money.

Hospice helped dying man lose his virginity

A young disabled man who receives care for his life-limiting illness at a hospice run by a nun spoke yesterday of his decision to use a prostitute to experience sex before he dies.

The hospice staff, after taking advice from a solicitor, the clergy and health care professionals, decided to help him.

God Bless I guess?

Hate crime at Guilford College (Update)

GREENSBORO, N.C. The three accusers in a racially charged weekend fight at Guilford College would like to escape the glare of media attention and return to a normal life at school, their attorney said Friday.

Greensboro police have not met with the accusers, who have rescheduled meetings on two occasions, and a detective has been assigned to the case, police said Friday. Cohen said the missed meetings were a misunderstanding. The FBI also is investigating.

On yesterday, warrants were issued on two additional subjects accused of assault. These warrants were not issued as a result of our investigation.

With an assault investigation, we begin by speaking with the alleged victim or victims in the case. At this point, we have not been afforded this opportunity. We will continue to make efforts to interview the alleged victims in this case and anyone who has information that will lead us to the correct version of events. The Greensboro Police Department will conduct a fair and impartial investigation into this matter. We will issue an updated press release as new information becomes available.

OKAY STILL LOST. 7 people arrested, police have not talked to the alleged victims, what the PLOP.

United Nations is at it again

Switzerland, Jan. 26 — The head of the United Nations nuclear inspection agency said Friday that Iranian officials had told him that they planned to begin installing equipment next month in an industrial-scale plant to enrich uranium.

Such a move would intensify Iran’s confrontation with the Security Council, which has demanded a full suspension of the production of nuclear material, and has authorized mild sanctions.

The announcement by the official, Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, was coupled with a plea to both Tehran and Western nations for all sides to take a “timeout” to head off a larger confrontation.

He proposed a suspension of the sanctions against Iran, while the Iranians simultaneously suspend enrichment of uranium. That process can produce fuel for nuclear weapons, though the Iranians deny that is their goal.

That’s right the U.N. wants to reward Iran. Again why do we put up with the U.N.

Hate crime at Guilford College

GREENSBORO — Prosecutors are reviewing a copy of Guilford College's report on an alleged ethnically motivated attack on three Palestinian students last weekend and are deciding how to move forward.

Guilford County Assistant District Attorney Howard Neumann said prosecutors will consider three options in assessing the charges brought against five Guilford College football players in the attack:

*Prosecute the case based on the witness statements and the report put together by the college's public safety department.
* Ask the Greensboro Police Department to conduct a follow-up investigation.
*Drop the charges.

Neumann said he's not sure when the decision will be made."That would depend on whether we need to ask the police to actively get involved in the investigation, or whether what we have is sufficient to make a decision," Neumann said.

On Friday the FBI confirmed it is investigating the case to determine if there was a federal civil rights violation.

The college has faced criticism this week for not alerting police to the incident. Campus security employees, who responded to the incident, are not sworn officers and do not carry weapons or have police powers.

Fetrow said Greensboro police are called only if campus security can't handle a situation. He stands behind the decision not to involve authorities.

Greensboro police said Friday that they still haven't talked to the alleged victims, who pressed charges at the magistrate's office rather than contacting police, or to the suspects.

Because they weren't called the night of the incident, police said, their role in the case — beyond making arrests — has been minor."

If the victims themselves elect to take out warrants on their own, we play a more minimal role in the investigation," Lt. Brian James said.

"They're choosing to identify the suspects themselves, take out the warrants themselves, go to court themselves and defend these charges."

When they go to court, we play no role in that because we didn't take out the charges and we weren't witnesses to the incident."

If I read this right, no police report, no police investigation, the FBI is investigating. I am totally lost on this one. Not hard to do.

I. LEWIS LIBBY, also known as "SCOOTER LIBBY"

What is he charged with?

Count 1: Obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. Section 1503)
Counts 2-3: False Statements (18 U.S.C. Section 1001(a)(2))
Counts 4-5: Perjury (18 U.S.C. Section 1623)

What he is not charged with

Fitzgerald did not rule out future charges, and he said that Libby's alleged obstruction made it impossible to know all the facts.

The special counsel's office said that Plame's CIA employment was classified and that her connection to the CIA "was not common knowledge outside the intelligence community" prior to Novak's column. Disclosing such information had "the potential to damage the national security," the office said in a news release.

But Fitzgerald also noted that proving illegal disclosure of classified information under various federal statutes is difficult. The 1982 Intelligence Identities Protection Act, for example, requires a prosecutor to show that a government official knowingly disclosed the identity of a covert officer and has been used in only a handful of cases.

So the rabid leftist pinko commie dogs still don’t have a clue.

THE FINAL INSPECTION

The Marine stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Marine,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the Marine waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Marine,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Wednesday Hero

This Weeks Hero Was Suggested By Kathi
Lt. Col. Michael E. McLaughlin
Lt. Col. Michael E. McLaughlin44 years old from Mercer, Pennsylvania2nd Brigade Combat Team, 28th Infantry Division, Pennsylvania Army National GuardJanuary 4, 2006


Sitting in the car with Lt. Col. Michael E. McLaughlin's 18-year-old daughter, her father's friend of 21 years had just broken the news of his death.
During years of friendship and service in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, Lt. Col. McLauglin and retired Capt. Brad Mifsud had a bond so close that they promised each other if something were ever to happen to either one of them, they would be there for the other's family.
Lt. Col. McLaughlin died when a suicide bomber rushed through a crowd of Iraqi police recruits in Ramadi and detonated a bomb that also killed a Marine and nearly 80 Iraqis. The day before the attack, Lt. Col. McLaughlin said he was fully confident that Ramadi had finally turned a corner in the insurgency. As hundreds of local men streamed into the Ramadi Glass Factory on Wednesday to join the city’s long-defunct police force, a wide grin spread over a pinch of tobacco stuffed into the 44-year-old’s lower lip.
"This may not look like much, but it's history," McLaughlin told a reporter. "We're making history right here."
With a significant wound to the back of his head, Lt. Col. McLaughlin turned to his injured personal security detail officers and inquired about their well-being. Waving off medical attention, he asked them to check on the soldiers under his command.
"In an act of extreme selflessness, he stated that he was OK, but to concentrate on saving the lives of his men," said Col. Grey Berrier, a close friend of Lt. Col. McLaughlin.
Lt. Col. McLaughlin died shortly after giving that instruction, according to the Guard.
A long-time artillery officer in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, McLaughlin was assigned to Task Force 2-222 Field Artillery and was the primary liaison between the 2-28 Brigade Combat Team and local tribal and government leaders in Ramadi. His efforts were instrumental in getting local sheikhs to support the recruitment drive and encourage more than 1,000 area men to volunteer for the force, commanders said.
"Mike is a true hero in every sense of the word, and he died while doing his job the only way he knew how - out front and with great enthusiasm and courage," said Col. John L. Gronski, commander of the 2-28 BCT. "This loss only strengthens our resolve to carry on and complete the mission in order to honor his memory."
A gregarious wisecracker, McLaughlin said his hope was to one day return to a peaceful Iraq, where he planned to walk the streets of Ramadi in a traditional Arab "man dress," or dishdasha, and sip coffee and chai with those sheikhs he had met during the war. McLaughlin said that one particular tribal leader he had developed a close relationship with dubbed him "The Sheikh of Sheikhs" - a nickname that was soon picked up by fellow officers in the brigade.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.It Is Foolish And Wrong To Mourn The Men Who Died. Rather We Should Thank God That Such Men Lived

Thinking about painting a room in your house, but aren't sure what it will look like? Curbly points the way to Benjamin Moore's website, where there is a truly nifty tool for previewing paint colors. You can choose sample rooms that are similar to yours, or for 10 bucks, upload pictures of your actual room.

The best part? "You don't have to buy their paint to use their color viewer! Just take your Benjamin Moore paint chip-found at your local Benjamin Moore dealer-to the retailer of the paint manufacturer of your choice and they'll be able to match it!"

The wacky French are at it again

The French government wants to give video games the status of a cultural industry like its music and cinema industries, which are eligible for tax breaks and government support to preserve the cultural heritage of a people proud of their auteur films and passion for the arts.

So what is the government playing at? "I believe that a video game is a true creative work based on a lot of artistic talent, involving script writers, designers and directors," says the Culture Minister, Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres.

So the French answer is what some would consider a typically French recipe, blending high culture with lower taxes for French companies, to help them stay in a tough game.

Good old United Nations

Has North Korean leader Kim Jong Il subverted the United Nations Development Program, the $4 billion agency that is the U.N.’s main development arm, and possibly stolen tens of millions of dollars of hard currency in the process?

According to a top official of the U.S. State Department — using findings made by the U.N.’s own auditors — the answer appears to be a disturbing yes, so far as UNDP programs in North Korea itself are concerned.And just as disturbingly, the U.N. aid agency bureaucracy has kept the scamming a secret since at least 1999 — while the North Korean dictator and his regime were ramping up their illegal nuclear weapons program and making highly publicized tests of intermediate range ballistic missiles.

Why do we still put up with them? Really someone tell me.

Walking to support the military

Howell man to make second attempt at 50-mile trek to Trenton

On Nov. 9, aware of the United States' war effort, Craig Breiner got an idea — walk 50 miles, carrying an American flag, in support of the military and veterans.

Two days later, on Veterans Day, Breiner stepped off the Belmar boardwalk, with the Atlantic Ocean behind him and the Delaware River and Trenton ahead of him.

"I had no preparation," said Breiner, 30, who lives in a Windmill Club townhouse in Howell. "It was a spur of the moment, last second thing."

"I was about ready to have a baby, any day," said his wife, Brooke, 28. "I didn't want him to go. He went anyway."

A baby boy, Christian, arrived three days later, Nov. 14. Breiner also has a daughter, Emily, 6.

As for Breiner, he did not arrive — instead petering out along the Manalapan-Millstone Township boundary, or about 38 miles and 9 1/2 hours into the walk.
"I was moving 'til the last two miles," Breiner said. "Then, my knee . . ." "I have a bad knee," Breiner added, explaining he injured his right knee in a Marine Corps training accident. "I wear a knee brace."

Breiner served as a Marine from 1999 to 2003. He was recalled to duty in 2004 to 2005, including about seven months in Iraq. He is now considered an inactive reservist.

The Marine is going to try again, Saturday — starting in Belmar at 16th Avenue and the boardwalk at 6 a.m., aiming to end at the Statehouse in Trenton around 7 p.m.

Read the rest, I like the reasons for both attempts.

Cause of Illegal Immigration found

Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon signed an accord with businesses on Thursday to curb soaring tortilla prices and protect Mexico's poor from speculative sellers and a surge in the cost of corn driven by the U.S. ethanol industry. The corn tortilla is the basic staple of the Mexican diet and is especially crucial for the poor. The accord limits tortilla prices to 8.50 pesos ($0.78) per kilogram and threatens to use existing laws to achieve prison sentences of up to 10 years for company officials found hoarding corn. Some stores have been selling tortillas for as much as 10 pesos ($0.91) per kilogram.

That’s it they are just looking for cheap Tortilla’s that Americans don’t eat.

Dropped on their heads as babies?


Snowboarders stage protest over lack of snow

Romanian snowboarders blocked traffic by staging a protest in front of the national weather institute to complain about the lack of snow.

The sit down protest in the capital Bucharest only ended when weathermen told them their complaint "would be passed on to a higher authority".

Romania's ski resorts, like much of the rest of Europe, have been hit by a chronic lack of snow and high temperatures - as much as 19 Celsius in some areas.

The appeal may have had some effect, as snow is predicted to fall some time later this week.

I could not make this stuff up even if I was dropped on my head as a baby.

Wendesday's Heroes

This Weeks Heroes Were Suggested By CavMom
This week I have three people to talk about. Roy Velez and his two sons, Jose and Andrew. One who was lost in Iraq and another who lost his life in Afghanistan.
It happens almost daily. A stranger reaches out to comfort Roy Velez, unintended symbol of unspeakable loss and grief.
Today it's a woman who approaches as he's halfway through breakfast at Montelongo's Mexican restaurant.
"My brother told me about you and your sons," she says, extending her hand.
He takes her small hand between his - this sturdy man who has buried two boys who went off to war - and listens gently as her own story of sorrow spills forth. Her 8-year-old daughter, a traffic accident, her son at the wheel.
As waiters bustle about with trays of huevos rancheros and barbacoa plates, Mr. Velez does what he does best: offers up a soft prayer to help this mother endure her emptiness.
Strangers learn about Mr. Velez from newspapers and TV. They come to him to share their gratitude or their grief. They come to thank him and console him, tearfully, for his family's sacrifice.
This is how Mr. Velez chooses to live after losing two sons in two years, not riven with anger or paralyzed with sadness. But as someone ready for those who might slip into the darkness of despair.
For his strength for others, compassion and grace - and for serving as inspiration for anyone who knows his story - Mr. Velez is the 2006 Dallas Morning News Texan of the Year.
Because this story is so long, I've linked to the article which you can read in it's entirety.
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.We Have Every Right To Dream Heroic Dreams. Those Who Say That We're In A Time When There Are No Heroes, They Just Don't Know Where To Look

Kim Jong Il seeks monster



































To help boost meat production and ease the country's severe food shortages.

The only problem for Karl Szmolinsky, who won a prize and worldwide fame for breeding German's largest rabbit - Robert, a 10.5kg bruiser the size of a dog - is that such huge rabbits consume vast quantities of food themselves as they grow.

And good old Kim has Nukes?

And for you brave souls out there:

The following is a recipe for Korean spicy rabbit and potato
Ingredients
2.25kg chopped rabbit
2 chopped potatoes
2 chopped carrots
1 chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, crushed
120ml water
120ml soy sauce
2 tablespns white sugar
3 tablespns hot pepper paste

Method
Mix the rabbit, potatoes, carrots, onion, sugar, and garlic over medium heat.
Pour in water and soy sauce, and stir in sugar and hot pepper paste.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, simmer for 45 minutes

HAVE A GREAT WEEK

Cpl. Jason Dunham


God Bless You


Thanks


Thank you

Thank you

Did I say thank you?









Dunham was an infantryman assigned to 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, when he was severely wounded in Karabilah, Iraq, on April 14, 2004, after smothering an enemy grenade with his body and helmet to save fellow Marines. He succumbed to his wounds eight days later.

“By giving his own life, Corporal Dunham saved the lives of two of his men and showed the world what it means to be a Marine,” President Bush said during his Nov. 10 announcement that Dunham would posthumously receive the nation’s highest decoration for combat heroism.

Dunham becomes the first Marine to earn the Medal of Honor in more than 30 years and one of only two U.S. service members to be awarded the medal since the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq began.

Wednesday Hero - Spc. Jordan W. Hess

This Weeks Hero Was Submitted by Beth
Spc. Jordan William Hess
Spc. Jordan William Hess27 years old from Marysville, WashingtonCompany C, 1st Battalion, 77th Armor
RegimentDecember 5, 2006
"Specialist Hess died of wounds received on a battlefield upon which no markers or memorials exist, yet his name will be etched upon the small part of each of our hearts that has hardened to stone by the realization of his passing. I will take Specialist Jordan Hess’ name to my own grave, in the hope that I can somehow preserve the honorable life that he led,” said Capt. Ian Lauer, commander of Company C.
Spc. Hess was a study in contrasts who loved a challenge. He had a warrior's spirit and was thrilled at the chance to serve his county, his parents said from their home in Marysville. He also was content to look for his muse in various forms of art, including glass-blowing, photography and poetry. It was this balance that people will remember most about the 26-year-old who was critically injured Nov. 11 in Ta'Meem, Iraq, when an IED detonated near his combat patrol.
A three-year veteran in the U.S. Army, Hess spent more than a year in Korea as well as time in Germany, always looking for an overseas assignment, Bill and Tammy Hess said. They knew their son was on his way to Kuwait the last time they spoke with him in October, and they suspected he had been deployed to Iraq as part of a tank unit when they didn’t hear from him for several weeks. After his injury, Hess was flown back to the United States and treated for several weeks at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. His parents, as well as his six brothers and one sister, were flown there to be with him.
"None of us wanted to see him hurt like that," Bill Hess said. "But one of the greatest blessings in my life was that we were able to say goodbye."
Hess was an avid wrestler from the time he was young, and news of his death circulated at Lake Stevens High School, where he attended until 1999. "He was a strong-willed, independent young man with a unique sense of humor," the Lake Stevens wrestling coaches said in a statement. "The Lake Stevens wrestling community today feels a strong sense of loss."

Americans not confident Democratic Congress will enact reforms

Americans are somewhat pessimistic that Democrats, who assume control of Congress this week, will carry out "real" reforms, according to survey findings released Tuesday.

The CNN poll conducted last month by Opinion Research Corporation found 49 percent of the 1,019 respondents believe Democrats will carry out no significant reforms; 46 percent believe they will.

But, we have a sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Here a poll, every where a poll, pool. Sorry that was a POLL,POLL.

Dude my head hurts, Cool, dude...............

Speaking of smoking crack......

Evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday that God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would cause a "mass killing" late in 2007.

"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

"The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."

Robertson said God told him about the impending tragedy during a recent prayer retreat.

The rest is here

Dude I thunked him did lost his PLOPN' mind

Another reason old dudes should not smoke crack

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Army general who was Joint Chiefs chairman when the Pentagon adopted its "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays says he no longer opposes allowing them to serve openly.

John Shalikashvili, who retired in 1997 after four years as the nation's top military officer, had argued that allowing homosexuals to serve openly would hurt troop morale and recruitment and undermine the cohesion of combat units. He said he has changed his mind after meeting with gay servicemen.

"These conversations showed me just how much the military has changed, and that gays and lesbians can be accepted by their peers," Shalikashvili wrote in an opinion piece in Tuesday's New York Times.

Read it if you want, but the dude needs some help.

Sgt. Dunkleberger was on his second tour of duty in Iraq when he was killed by an RPG when his convoy was attacked while on a security mission.

"We can't put into words right now the grief we feel, but we can put into words how proud we are of Brent. He chose to serve our country and give his life for what he believed in," said William Dunkleberger, Brent's father. "we thank the community for the outpouring of support and ask everyone to continue to pray for us. We also ask the media to respect our privacy during this very difficult time."

Sgt. Dunkleberger graduated high school in 1996 and enlisted in the United States Army in 2003 and became a tank driver for the 1st Calvary Division, 4th Brigade Combat Team.

He is survived by his wife and four children.
