NEW YORK! Nude Man Falls To His Death After Being Tasered

NEW YORK — An officer appears to have violated police department guidelines when he used a Taser stun gun on a naked, distraught man teetering on a building ledge, officials said Thursday.

Inman Morales, 35, was pronounced dead at a hospital after his nearly 10-foot fall Wednesday. Police said he suffered serious head trauma when he hit the sidewalk.

Officers had radioed for an inflatable bag as the incident unfolded, but it had not yet arrived at the scene when Morales fell.

"None of the ... officers on the scene were positioned to break his fall, nor did they devise a plan in advance to do so," said chief department spokesman Paul Browne.

The lieutenant who directed the use of the stun gun was stripped of his gun and badge, and the officer who shocked Morales was placed on desk duty as the investigation continues. Their names were not released.

Witnesses and neighbors said Morales had become distraught and threatened to kill himself earlier in the day. When police arrived in response to a 911 call, he fled naked out the window of his third-floor apartment, clambered down to a ledge and began jabbing at officers with an 8-foot-long fluorescent light.

An amateur video posted on the Web site of the New York Post shows one of the officers raising a stun gun at Morales, who freezes and topples over headfirst as the crowd screams.

The man's death renewed focus on the use of stun guns by the NYPD. Thousands of city police sergeants began carrying Tasers on their belts this year after the department expanded use of the weapons. The pistol-shaped weapons fire barbs up to 35 feet and deliver 50,000-volt shocks to immobilize people.

Browne said guidelines specifically prohibit the use of stun guns when the subject may fall from an elevated surface.

NASTY FOX NEWS TELLS A$$ HOLE STEVE DOOCY TO CUT MIKE ON A GUEST THAT WAS BACKING OBAMA

AT 3:05 You can here the producer says "cut his mic"
What Faux News was expecting was a hatchet job on Obama. When it didn't quite work out that way, they cut Papatonio off. In All FAUX NEWS CAN GO TO HELL WHERE THEY BELONG!!


The Keating Five scandal, and John McCain's role in it, has received relatively little mention in presidential campaign coverage, and at least one Fox News host seems dedicated to keeping it that way.

Appearing Thursday morning on Fox & Friends, radio host Mike Papatino tried to remind viewers about McCain's intervention with federal regulators on behalf of real estate mogul Charles Keating, who was trying to avoid regulations of a savings and loan he owned during the S&L crisis of the 1980s.

F&F's Steve Doocy told Papatonio to "pipe down," called him "rude" and demanded he "cut it out." A show producer could be overheard saying "cut his mike."

As Papatonio tries one last time to explain the details of the Keating Five scandal, Doocy again cuts him off.

"This is not the History Channel," he says.

Papatonio's apparent crime was interrupting fellow guest Michael Reagan, the conservative radio host, who was arguing that it would be unfair to judge McCain based on his actions 20 years ago.

"It has everything to do with what's happening today," Papatonio said before being told to pipe down.

Regardless of whether Papatonio was being rude, preserving an orderly debate certainly could not have been Doocy's goal in silencing the guest. Not two minutes before his admonition that Papatonio was "being rude," Doocy repeatedly interrupted his guest to deliver talking points that might as well have been written by the McCain campaign.

At least three times Doocy interrupted Papatonio as he argued that McCain's political gambit to "suspend" his campaign and delay Friday's debate was more a response to his flagging poll numbers than an attempt to fix the economic crisis. Doocy wasn't buying it.

"If Barack Obama wants to do so much for the economy, why doesn't he go to his day job and work in the us senate?" he asked Reagan, cutting off Papatino's argument.

Bush Uses Iraq-Based Troops As Domestic Political Pawns, And Almost Nobody Notices

Yesterday, ThinkProgress reported on an extraordinary revelation in the ongoing negotiations between the Bush White House and Nouri al-Maliki's Iraqi government over a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops. Previously, al-Maliki had come out as a proponent of a withdrawal timetable that set "the end of 2010" as "the appropriate time for the withdrawal." This dovetailed neatly with similar calls from the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. As ThinkProgress points out, maybe a little too neatly:

AIKEN COUNTY SHERIFF ARRESTS 18 YR OLD FOR 'SAGGY PANTS.'

Williams was standing at the hood of the patrol car during the interview on the side of the road when the deputy struck Williams in the throat, Frank said.

It was unprovoked, he added.

Nation then arrested Williams and charged him with assault and disorderly conduct on the trumped-up allegations that the teenager had attempted to attack him. He took the New Ellenton man to the Aiken County detention center where he was detained.

"When I learned of the deputy's behavior, I immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and requested SLED conduct a criminal investigation and take appropriate action," said Sheriff Michael Hunt. "I apologize to the young man, his family and our community because this kind of behavior is unacceptable by any law enforcement officer."

Nation apparently brought a copy of the patrol car video to his supervisors for their review, who then handed the tape up the chain of command.

"They recognized there was a problem and they contacted the uniform patrol captain who agreed and brought it to the chief deputy and the sheriff," Frank said.

The charges against the teen have been dropped.

Nation was fired Tuesday morning.

In 2004, Nation was suspended from the sheriff's office for a use-of-force incident, but at press time the particulars of that incident were not available.

WHY DO MCCAIN AND PALIN LIE SO DAY DAMM MUCH!!!!

Fact Check: Did Obama vote 94 times for higher taxes?

The statement:

"He said he won't raise taxes for most people, but he's voted 94 times in his short Senate career for tax increases and against tax cuts."
-Sen. John McCain, at a campaign stop in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Friday Sept. 19, 2008

Check out the facts after the jump!


The facts:
The effort to convince voters that Sen. Barack Obama would support higher taxes is a central part of Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign. McCain and the Republican National Committee have repeatedly cited 94 alleged votes by Obama to bolster their argument.

Factcheck.org, a non-partisan project of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center, pieced through records to determine just what these 94 votes were. Key findings:

-23 were against proposed tax cuts
-7 were "for measures that would have lowered taxes for many, while raising them on a relative few, either corporations or affluent individuals"
-11 were to increase taxes on people making more than $1 million a year, to help fund programs such as Head Start, school nutrition, or veterans' health care
-53 were votes on budget resolutions or amendments that "could not have resulted by themselves in raising taxes," though many "were clear statements of approval for increased taxes"
- The total includes multiple votes on the same measures

Annenberg says a close look at the record reveals that Obama has "voted consistently to restore higher tax rates on upper-income taxpayers but not on middle- or low-income workers."

Verdict:
Misleading. McCain's summary ignores the fact that some of the votes were for measures to lower taxes for many Americans, while increasing them for a much smaller number of taxpayers. A nonpartisan examination also finds that the 94 total includes multiple votes on the same measures and budget votes that would not directly lead to higher taxes.

Teen smiles after she's convicted of killing roommate

TUCSON, Arizona (AP) -- A 19-year-old woman was convicted Friday of murdering her roommate in their University of Arizona dorm room by stabbing her 23 times.
Galareka Harrison made no expression as the jury's verdict was read. She was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of 18-year-old Mia Henderson, a fellow Navajo tribal member from northern Arizona. She was also found guilty of three counts of forgery and one count of identity theft.

After court recessed, she gave a wan smile, stood up and put on a black coat before being led out of the courtroom by jailers.

BARACK RIPS McCain!! GET'EM O!!!!!

Some fiery rhetoric just now from Barack Obama on the campaign trail, as the Illinois Democrat ripped into McCain for a couple of questionable statements he made on the economy this past week, and called the Republican nominee part of the insider culture he now opposes.

"Yesterday, John Mccain actually said that if he's president, he will take on, and I quote, "the old boy's network in Washington," said Obama. "I'm not making this up. This is somebody who has been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he's the one who is going to take on the old boy's network. The old boy's network, in the McCain campaign, that's called a staff meeting. Come on."

DISGUSTING GOP!! TRYING TO STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTEING WHO IS FACEING FORECLOSURE

Barack Obama’s campaign and the Democratic Party filed a lawsuit Tuesday to stop Michigan Republicans from implementing what Democrats called an “ugly” and “horrific” plan to prevent homeowners who face foreclosure from voting.

The suit aims to prevent anyone whose address appears on a list of foreclosed properties from being challenged on their ability to vote for that reason alone.

The legal case stems from comments in an article attributed to the Republican Party chairman of Macomb County. The story, “Lose Your House, Lose Your Vote,” appeared on the liberal Michigan Messenger Web site.

The site quoted Chairman James Carabelli as saying, “We will have a list of foreclosed homes and will make sure people aren’t voting from those addresses,” party chairman James Carabelli told Michigan Messenger in a telephone interview earlier this week. He said the local party wanted to make sure that proper electoral procedures were followed.

State election rules allow parties to assign “election challengers” to polls to monitor the election. In addition to observing the poll workers, these volunteers can challenge the eligibility of any voter provided they “have a good reason to believe” that the person is not eligible to vote. One allowable reason is that the person is not a “true resident of the city or township.”

The Michigan Republicans’ planned use of foreclosure lists is apparently an attempt to challenge ineligible voters as not being “true residents.”

One expert questioned the legality of the tactic.

“You can’t challenge people without a factual basis for doing so,” said J. Gerald Hebert, a former voting rights litigator for the U.S. Justice Department who now runs the Campaign Legal Center, a Washington D.C.-based public-interest law firm. “I don’t think a foreclosure notice is sufficient basis for a challenge, because people often remain in their homes after foreclosure begins and sometimes are able to negotiate and refinance.”

As for the practice of challenging the right to vote of foreclosed property owners, Hebert called it, “mean-spirited.”

McCain Pissing off the LATINOS????? With His Lies

So let me get this straight - they think people wont notice because it's in Spanish? this video is shameful. nothing but lies.




It's a gross distortion.
Here is an English translation:

Announcer: Obama and his Congressional allies say they are on the side of immigrants. But are they?

The press reports that their efforts were "poison pills" that made immigration reform fail.

The result:

No guest worker program.

No path to citizenship.

No secure borders.

No reform.

Is that being on our side?

Obama and his Congressional allies ready to block immigration reform, but not ready to lead.

John McCain: I'm John McCain and I approve this message.


Block immigration reform? The Democrats?

Mr. Obama opposing a path to citizenship?

Bank of America Corp. said it is snapping up Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. in a $50 billion all-stock transaction.

Stock markets fell and Treasury bond prices soared, though investors had a measured response to some of the biggest economic news in modern U.S. history. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 250 points _ a number that has become almost commonplace over the past year amid the ongoing troubles in the financial sector. oh yea John McCain quickly got hammered by Barack Obama on Monday when he declared that the "fundamentals of our economy are still strong" at an event in Jacksonville, Florida.

Re: Unraveling the myth of the Straight Talk Express

Pamela Anderson tells Sarah Palin to suck it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIRST Matt Damon, now Pamela Anderson has spoken out against Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin saying:"I can't stand her. She can suck it!"

Anderson, 41, was recently in Toronto speaking out against the abuse of animals in Hollywood.

When asked by E! News Weekend Canada about Palin, she has some choice words for the Republican hopeful.

The reporter asked Pam if she saw a recent Newsweek article, which showed a gigantic bear hide in the office of Palin’s house.

“I can’t stand her,” Pam blurted out. “She can suck it!”

Pam Vs Palin. Check out their galleries

Damon earlier lashed out at Palin - insisting her presidency would be like 'a really bad Disney movie'. The actor fears that Palin's running mate John MCCain won't survive a full four-year-term as president, and claims the Alaskan governor taking over would be 'a really scary thing.'

"I think there's a really good chance Sarah Palin could become president, and I think that's a really scary thing," Fox quoted Damon, as saying.

Palin is one of the most Anti-Woman politicians I have ever read about. Wasilla has only what? 9000 people in it -- and the cost of doing rape kits could cost taxpayers up to $15,000/year?!?!? Seriously? How prevalent is rape there anyway? So the victim is supposed to pay for her own rape kit, and then, if McCain/Palin get their way, if she gets pregnant as a result, she can foot that burden as well.This is shameful.so all those PUMA people... I have one question for you... What do you have to say about this? Your daughter is raped and as per Sara Palin, she won"t have a say in it. She can't choose. Even in the case of incest. How disgusting is that? And on top of that, the person who is being victimized is being forced to pay for a rape kit!!... This is truly pathetic!I don"t care if you lean to the left or to the right, but when you people being treated so unfairly, please stand up and speak out!

Nasty Anti-Obama Push Poll Launched In Ohio


Two individuals in Ohio have described an identical push poll being conducted in their home state that presents Barack Obama as a quasi-radical leftist, uses inflammatory quotes from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and offers risible interpretations of the Senator's policies on everything from sex education to abortion.

The poll -- conducted by the Long Island-based Opinion Access Corporation, a telephone survey firm -- represents, perhaps, the most negative messaging yet to be witnessed this campaign cycle.

ONE CALLER ACKNOWLEDGE THEY received an incredibly offensive, anti-Obama push-poll tonight from 'Opinion Access Corporation.' When I said that I was voting for Obama, they asked if I would be more or less likely to vote for Obama if I knew that he voted to let convicted child sex offenders out early, voted to allow convicted child sex offenders to live near schools, is for sex education in Kindergarten, voted for some offensive and incredibly graphic abortion procedure, and so on and so on for 5 minutes. This was a really offensive push-poll. They also brought up the statements of Rev. Wright and Michelle Obama."

I think this ad may have just won the election for Obama.

McCain is one sick mofo to stoop to such levels. TIme for the O team to take of the nice gloves.

John McCain is out with a response ad to Barack Obama's attacks today on his education policy, accusing the Democratic nominee of not accomplishing a single education-related goal other than to promote "comprehensive sex education" to kindergartners. Seriously, it's come to this.

It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls - a position that his friend Mitt Romney also holds. Last week, John McCain told Time magazine he couldn't define what honor was. Now we know why," said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

FROM ALASKA NEWSPAPER-Trak Palin was offered the military or juve.
Just don’t want to see the McCain/Palin ticket attempt to make a great photo op out of Trak’s deployment to Iraq on 9/11. Rather mocks the “real” enlistees and their dedication to this country. Also, seems Trooper Wooten was involved in the investigation of this case – imagine that?!
And, no, I do not feel her family should be off-limits! Her ability to run a household, manage her children(which thus far she’s failed), and to maintain her responsibilities as a political figure all at the same time, does indeed need to be assessed. If the candidate were a man, and he were the main provider of family support(other than financially), I would expect the same coverage of him and have the same doubts as to his ability to handle everything capably.

Bus vandals should feel crime's full consequences

Published on Thursday, December 1, 2005 5:49 PM AKST The Valley made big headlines in an out-of-town newspaper this week. Sadly, the occasion was not something to be proud of.

In a thoughtless act of criminal vandalism, four teens, as reported by Alaska State Troopers, broke into the First Student bus yard and disabled 44 school buses. Tires were deflated, valve stems plucked and engine-block heaters unplugged in a systematic effort that resulted in the cancellation of school for students in the Valley's core area.

The students allegedly involved, two from Wasilla High School and two from Burchell High School, admitted to Alaska State Troopers that what they considered a prank was inspired by a television show - MTV's “High School Stories.” MTV's Web site says the program takes “an inside look at the outrageous antics of high school students all across the country. These stories are true-to-life re-enactments of actual high school scandals.”

Through the prism of retrospect, we hope the four students realize that what they did transcended mere pranksterism. The damage totaled $10,000, and nearly 15,000 students were forced to stay home Tuesday. But this hardly amounted to a final bottom line.

The ripple effect of the deed likely had an even greater impact. Day-care operations were stretched thin Tuesday, as working parents scrambled to find an alternative to school for their youngsters. Others simply took a sick or personal day, resulting in a financial toll on Valley families and the businesses that employ them.

Of no less substance are the intangible costs. The vast majority of Mat-Su School District students are fine, upstanding citizens who bring honor to their families, their schools and their communities. The actions of a few, in this case, reflect negatively on the many.

For all these reasons, the school district is right to insist on full prosecution and restitution. We are sympathetic to the whims and indiscretions of youth. But vandalism, especially of this magnitude, is never a prank. It is very serious business.

In addition to legal and financial remedies being imposed, the students involved, once officially charged, should be made to apologize to their schools and their community.

Their PFD checks should be forfeited until their debt is paid in full. Then every October they will be reminded of just how serious the consequences of their actions are.

SARAH PALIN CALLS OBAMA SAMBO??? THEY NEED TO DROP THIS WOMEN FAST!!!!!

Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean”

SEEMS LIKE THE MEDIA IS TELLING US EVERYTHING!!

"Palin is a conniving, manipulative, a**hole,” someone who thinks these are positive traits in a governor told me, summing up Palin’s tenure in Alaska state and local politics.

“She’s a bigot, a racist, and a liar,” is the more blunt assessment of Arnold Gerstheimer who lived in Alaska until two years ago and is now a businessman in Idaho.

“Juneau is a small town; everybody knows everyone else,” he adds. “These stories about what she calls blacks and Eskimos, well, anyone not white and good looking actually, were around long before she became a glint in John McCain’s rheumy eyes. Why do I know they’re true? Because everyone who isn’t aboriginal or Indian in Alaska talks that way.”

“Sambo beat the bitch” may be everyday language up in the bush. Whether it – and the outlook, politics and worldview Palin reflects when she says such things in public – should be part of a presidential campaign is another thing altogether. The comment says as much about McCain as it does about Palin, and it says a lot of things about Americans who overlook such statements (as well as her record) and vote anyway for McCain.

McCain Says He's The Change Agent!! LMAO!!!! Obama Slams Him And S-Palin On It!!

I know the governor of Alaska has been, you know, saying she is change,” Obama said at a town hall meeting here. “And that is great. She is a skillful politician. But when you [have] been taking all these earmarks when it is convenient and then suddenly you are the champion anti-earmark person.

“That is not change, come on,” Obama continued. “I mean, words mean something. You can’t just make stuff up. You can’t just make stuff up. We have a choice to make and the choice is clear.”


ON McCain:

"And suddenly he's the change agent? Ha. He says, 'I'm going to tell those lobbyists that their days of running Washington are over.' Who is he going to tell? Is he going to tell his campaign chairman, who's one of the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington? Is he going to tell his campaign manager, who was one of the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington?"

"I mean, come on, they must think you're stupid," Obama said as the crowd laughed and cheered.

The McCain campaign noted that Obama has steered numerous earmarks to his state of Illinois. However, Obama has not been the critic of earmarks that McCain and, more recently Palin, have been.

Obama said Republicans are targeting his character, and he criticized McCain for saying he would reduce the partisan rancor in Washington. Pretending to address McCain, he said, "Did you pay attention to the last two days of your convention? Were you not watching?"

"When you start just focusing exclusively on trying to tear the other person down instead of what you are going to do on behalf of the American people to deal with this economy," Obama said, "then that's not serving Democrats, that's not serving Republicans, that's not serving anybody."

Heart condemns McCain-Palin use of 'Barracuda'

ST.PAUL MINN- Blasting through the Republican convention hall is the 1977 hit "Barracuda" by rock band Heart.

It's a shout-out to Sarah Palin. When she played basketball in high school, the soon-to-be Republican vice presidential nominee earned the nickname "Sarah barracuda" for her fierce competitiveness.

Some of her opponents revived the "Sarah barracuda" nickname after she became mayor of her hometown, Wasilla, in 1996, defeating a three-term incumbent.

UPDATE: Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart said Thursday night that Universal Music Publishing and Sony BMG have sent a cease and desist notice to the McCain-Palin campaign over their use of 'Barracuda.'

"We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We
hope our wishes will be honored," the group said in a statement that said they "condemn" the use of the song at the Republican convention.


UPDATE Friday morning: here's a statement by Ann and Nancy Wilson from EW.com:

"Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."

No word so far on whether the tune would be dropped from the GOP playlist. "If the real thing don't do the trick,'' Ann Wilson sang in "Barracuda,'' "You better make up something quick.''

The song seemed a much better fit than several played during the Democratic convention in Denver. After ailing US Senator Ted Kennedy made it to Denver for a pro-Obama speech, the Denver house band played "Still The One,'' the 70s hit from Orleans. (Clearly intended to reflect Kennedy's vigorous effort, it was still risky to evoke any possible reference to ''The One,'' being used as anti-Obama term. After former President Bill Clinton's ringing speech last week, the band struck up the intro to Robert Palmer's 1985 hit, "Addicted to Love.'' C-Span showed a group of delegates dancing to the opening strains and singing along until stopping on the chorus, "Might as well face it/I'm addicted to love.''

DAYUMMM GETTING ARRESTED A NEW HEALTH HAZARD!!

Sudden death after arrest may be new syndrome


oung men who die suddenly after being arrested by the police may be victims of a new syndrome similar to one that kills some wild animals when they are captured, Spanish researchers said on Tuesday.

Manuel Martinez Selles of Madrid's Hospital Gregorio Maranon reached the conclusion after investigating 60 cases of sudden unexplained deaths in Spain following police detention.

In one third of the cases, death occurred at the point of arrest, while in the remainder death was within 24 hours, Selles told the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology.

All but one of the casualties were male and their average age was just 33 years, with no previous history of cardiovascular disease.

"Something unusual is going on," Sells said.

Just why they died remains a mystery but he believes young men, in particular, may experience surges in blood levels of chemicals known as catecholamines when under severe stress.

Adrenaline is one of the most abundant catecholamines.

"We know that when a wild animal is captured, sometimes the animal dies suddenly," he said.

"Probably when these young males are captured it is very stressful and their level of catecholamines goes very high and that can finish their life by ventricular fibrillation (cardiac arrest)."

Selles compiled his study -- the first of its kind in any country -- by scouring Spanish newspapers for cases of unexplained death after police detention over the past 10 years.

Only sudden deaths with no clear causes were included and autopsy reports were checked to exclude the possibility of mistreatment or past serious medical conditions.

Twelve of the victims were drug users but Selles said this was not thought to have contributed to their deaths.

Jonathan Halperin of the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, who was not involved in the research, said the concept of a heart stress syndrome triggered by a flood of adrenaline or other chemicals was "a reasonable hypothesis."

"We all know stress is bad for you and this may be stress in the extreme," he said.

DADDY YANKEE PERFORMS FOR MCCAIN AND FAT JOE CALLS HIS ASS A SELL OUT!!!

HANDLE YA BUSINESS JOE!!!
As if his endorsement of John McCain weren’t enough! Apparently, Daddy Yankee wants to make it clear that his support of the Republican presidential candidate goes far beyond a few photo shoots and public appearance.

The singer has now committed to perform at the Fiesta Americana Concert as part of next week’s Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

I’m sure performing for a stadium full of 3,000 suit-and-tie Republicans is the ideal audience for some reggaeton. I bet that fiesta is going to get hot!

Daddy Yankee has been getting busted on left and right for his support of the Arizona senator. It seems that a lot of people just don’t see the link between reggaetoneros and 72-year-old white men.

Most recently, fellow performer Fat Joe put Daddy Yankee on blast for his politics, saying to MTV News:

“I opened the newspaper and got sick to my stomach. I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We’re fighting an unjust war. It’s the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war. … We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he’ll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he’s just not educated on politics.”

Now, I don’t know how educated Fat Joe is on politics either, but at least he hit on some valid points!

Gov Palin IS FULL OF $#%&

Sarah Palin was not pregnant with child.

Her sixteen year-old daughter was.

Checking with the Anchorage High School that Bristol Palin attended, reporters were given word that her family had taken Bristol out of school due to contracting infectious mononucleosis. The amount of time Bristol was absent shifts from five to eight months.

Mono can last anywhere from two weeks to three months, but an eight month infection is a freak oddity. Yet it remains a common excuse given by girls in private & Catholic schools around the nation when pregnancy comes into play. Not the first time, not the last time.

The following photograph of Bristol has been dated late 2007:


And the following photograph was printed in the Anchorage Daily News, on March 9th:

Bristol is pregnant in these pictures. She is not carrying belly fat, which grows outwardly wide, and does not become dome-shaped. That's because fat is generally evenly distributed around the abdomen and a fetus is not. Bristol's chest is sticking out, a normal body reaction when sucking in stomach muscles.

Here is the GOV, seven months pregnant, three days after her official announcement: THAT SHE HERSELF WAS PREGNANT YEA RIGHT!!!!!!!!







OUR THEORY

Bristol Palin is not pregnent. She is still chubby from her first baby Trig.

Bristol is the mother of Trig, kept it secret by being out of school for several months with a coverup story of “mono”.

Governor Palin orchestrated a elaborate ruse to make it appear she was pregnant, even wearing a pregnancy suit the last month. Staffers were shocked when she announced her pregnancy.

Bristol went into labor and sent Mom the message, Gov. Palin was in Tex at an oil conference at the time and flew home , while she was in labor, which is very unusual, especially with a high risk pregnancy.(give me a break a mother of a down syndrome baby would have never flown from alaska to texas in her last month of pregnancy.) Gov Palin got home in time to deceive us into thinking she gave birth to Trig, but in truth it was Bristol who gave birth to Trig.

Now to avoid the truth, they are saying Bristol is pregant now….I bet she is not and we will hear she had a miscarriage or something like that. If she does have the baby, We apologize and wish them well, but if not I will never trust Palin.

JESUS PLEASE TAKE CONTROL!!! THIS IS SO SAD!

100-Year-Old Woman Found Shot Dead In L.I. Home


She may be the oldest murder victim in New York state history.

Police are hunting for the gunman who killed a 100-year-old woman in her home in the Hamptons.

Just over the bridge and off a peninsula from Sag Harbor, the tiny 2-and-half square mile village of North Haven, where residents were stunned to learn of the murder of one of East End's oldest residents.

"Obviously, this type of crime is out of character for the area, but also a 100-year-old woman being shot is unique," said Suffolk County Homicide Det. Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick.

Jessie Burke celebrated her 100th birthday on Aug. 7. Three and half weeks later the matriarch of a well known family here was found shot dead in the back of the head, sitting in a chair in the den of her daughter's home on Payne Avenue.

Police said daughter Jean Burke, a former trustee who was once interviewed on "60 Minutes," discovered her mother's body and called 911.

"People are just shocked," neighbor Glenn Ficorilli said. "Just a quiet community and it is unbelievable to end the summer on a Labor Day like this."

"When somebody like that dies, living in the Hamptons, probably real-estate and family related," neighbor Seth Kelley added.

Police said Jessie Burke had all of her faculties and was quite active on a daily basis.

"Mrs. Burke was quite spry for her age, was alert, did the New York Times crossword every day," Det. Lt. Fitzpatrick said.

Police said there was no break-in, no forcible entry and nothing stolen. Jessie Burke had no caregiver, and leaves behind four children.

Among those being interviewed by police are Jessie Burke's children. Police said they have no suspects at this time.

Detectives are asking anyone with information to contact the homicide squad or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
