2008-10-04 Thread Robert

Why we didn't like Jimi Carter?
Well, Carter was shy about pomp and circumstance.
He was intelligent, as well, ( little, too smart).
Plus the fact, he was trying to decriminalize pot,
And even had Willie Nelson, to the WH, to sing the star spangled, yu betcha!
Can you imagine!?
Was Carter a hunter, No!
He liked to go fishing, it's so true(Boring!)
 
Then, there was them there hostage situation...
Oh boy, what a fiasco that was: 444 days at the Mercy of the Mullahs.
Then the rescue mission failed, or got sabatoged?
Who really knows, these days?
A few good men, died.
 
Then came Ronnie, our Savior.
He did like pomp and circumstance, bunches and bunces, couldn't get enough!
And wouldn't ya know it, as soon as he took the oath,
The hostages were released!
That Ronnie! Always had good timing, he did.
And wouldn't ya know it, he traded arms for weapons or drugs,
Or something like that, to Iran, I forget.
And even bin Laden had connections to him.
Boy that Ronnie, what a hero he was!
Even brought down the Soviet Empire, then say.
He coined the phrase just say no...
And he said no to lots of stuff:
No regulations, no welfare, no hippies, no universal medicine.
As a matter of fact, he used to like to say, government is bad.
Strange, then why are you running for government, then?
Anyway, he was mostly senile, but could read his lines, real well, they say,
Even in his sleep!
You betcha!

LAS VEGAS - O.J. Simpson, who went from American sports idol to
celebrity-in-exile after he was acquitted of murder in 1995, was found guilty
Friday of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas
hotel room.

window.yzq_d['jSUeAEwNBlo-']='U=13fbqc3kp%2fN%3djSUeAEwNBlo-%2fC%3d632876.11908692.12484106.1442997%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d5113893%2fV%3d1';

The 61-year-old former football star could spend the rest of his life in
prison. Sentencing was set for Dec. 5.
A weary and somber Simpson released a heavy sigh as the charges were read by
the clerk in Clark County District Court. He was immediately taken into custody.
The Hall of Fame football star was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and
10 other charges for gathering up five men a year ago and storming into a room
at a hotel-casino, where the group seized several game balls, plaques and
photos. Prosecutors said two of the men with him were armed; one of them said
Simpson asked him to bring a gun.
The verdict came 13 years to the day after Simpson was cleared of murdering his
ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in Los Angeles
in one of the most sensational trials of the 20th century.
I don't like to use the word payback, defense attorney Yale Galanter said. I
can tell you from the beginning my biggest concern ... was whether or not the
jury would be able to separate their very strong feelings about Mr. Simpson and
judge him fairly and honestly.
Simpson's co-defendant, Clarence C.J. Stewart, 54, also was found guilty on
all charges in the Las Vegas case and taken into custody.
Simpson showed little emotion as officers handcuffed him and walked him out of
the courtroom. His sister, Carmelita Durio, sobbed behind him in the arms of
Simpson's friend, Tom Scotto, who said I love you as Simpson passed by. As
spectators left the courtroom, Durio collapsed.
Jurors made no eye contact with the defendants as they entered the courtroom.
They declined to answer questions after the verdict was read.
Galanter said his client had expected the outcome, and in a courthouse
conversation with an Associated Press reporter on Thursday, Simpson had implied
as much.
Simpson said he felt melancholy and that he was afraid that I won't get to go
to my kids' college graduations after I managed to get them through college.
Galanter said it was not a happy day for anybody. His only hope is the
appellate process, he said.
Clark County spokesman Dan Kulin said prosecutors would not comment until the
case was completely resolved.
Judge Jackie Glass made no comment other than to thank the jury for its service
and to deny motions for the defendants to be released on bail.
She refused to give the lawyers extended time to file a motion for new trial,
which under Nevada law must be filed within seven days. The attorneys said they
needed time to submit a voluminous record.
I've sat through the trial, Glass said. If you want a motion for new trial,
send me something.
Stewart's attorney, Brent Bryson, promised to appeal.
If there was ever a case that should have been severed in the history of
jurisprudence, it's this case, he said of unsuccessful attempts to separate
Stewart's case from Simpson's because of the spillover effect.
From the beginning, Simpson and his lawyers argued the incident was not a
robbery, but an attempt to reclaim mementos that had been stolen from him. He
said he did not ask anyone to bring a weapon and did not see any guns.
The defense portrayed Simpson as a victim of shady characters who wanted to
make a buck off his famous name, and police officers who saw his arrest as an
opportunity to get him and avenge his acquittal.
Prosecutors said Simpson's ownership of the memorabilia was irrelevant; it was
still a crime to try to take things by force.
When they went into that room and forced the victims to the far side of the
room, pulling out guns and yelling, `Don't let anybody out of here!' — six very
large people detaining these two victims in the room with the intent to take
property through force or violence from them — that's kidnapping, prosecutor
David Roger said.
Kidnapping is punishable by five years to life in prison. Armed robbery carries
a mandatory sentence of at least two years behind bars, and could bring as much
as 30.
Simpson, who now lives in Miami, did not testify but was heard on a recording
of the confrontation screaming that the dealers had stolen his property. Don't
let nobody out of this room, he declared and told the other men to scoop up
his items, which included a photo of Simpson with former FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover.
Four other men charged in the case struck plea bargains that saved them from
potential prison sentences in return for their testimony. Some of them had
criminal records or were otherwise compromised in some way. One, for

Dick Cheney, Role Model 


Published: October 3, 2008 NYT

 
In all the talk about the vice-presidential debate, there was an issue that did 
not get much attention but kept nagging at us: Sarah Palin’s description of the 
role and the responsibilities of the office for which she is running, vice 
president of the United States.
In Thursday night’s debate, Ms. Palin was asked about the vice president’s role 
in government. She said she agreed with Dick Cheney that “we have a lot of 
flexibility in there” under the Constitution. And she declared that she was 
“thankful that the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the 
vice president also, if that vice president so chose to exert it.” 
It is hard to tell from Ms. Palin’s remarks whether she understands how 
profoundly Dick Cheney has reshaped the vice presidency — as part of a larger 
drive to free the executive branch from all checks and balances. Nor did she 
seem to understand how much damage that has done to American democracy. 
Mr. Cheney has shown what can happen when a vice president — a position that is 
easy to lampoon and overlook — is given free rein by the president and does not 
care about trampling on the Constitution. 
Mr. Cheney has long taken the bizarre view that the lesson of Watergate was 
that Congress was too powerful and the president not powerful enough. He 
dedicated himself to expanding President Bush’s authority and arrogating to 
himself executive, legislative and legal powers that are nowhere in the 
Constitution. 
This isn’t the first time that Ms. Palin was confronted with the issue. In an 
interview with Katie Couric of CBS News, the Alaska governor was asked what she 
thought was the best and worst about the Cheney vice presidency. Ms. Palin 
tried to dodge: laughing and joking about the hunting accident in which Mr. 
Cheney accidentally shot a friend. The only thing she had to add was that Mr. 
Cheney showed support for the troops in Iraq.
There was not a word about Mr. Cheney’s role in starting the war with Iraq, in 
misleading Americans about weapons of mass destruction, in leading the charge 
to create illegal prison camps where detainees are tortured, in illegally 
wiretapping Americans, in creating an energy policy that favored the oil 
industry that made him very rich before the administration began.
Ms. Couric asked Joseph Biden, Ms. Palin’s rival, the same question in a 
separate interview. He had it exactly right when he told her that Mr. Cheney’s 
theory of the “unitary executive” held that “Congress and the people have no 
power in a time of war.” And he had it right in the debate when he called Mr. 
Cheney “the most dangerous vice president we’ve had in American history.” 
The Constitution does not state or imply any flexibility in the office of vice 
president. It gives the vice president no legislative responsibilities other 
than casting a tie-breaking vote in the Senate when needed and no executive 
powers at all. The vice president’s constitutional role is to be ready to serve 
if the president dies or becomes incapacitated. 
Any president deserves a vice president who will be a sound adviser and 
trustworthy supporter. But the American people also deserve and need a vice 
president who understands and respects the balance of power — and the limits of 
his or her own power. That is fundamental to our democracy. 
So far, Ms. Palin has it exactly, frighteningly wrong.

Yes - our sun is very quiet at present and no one knows for sure what
it all adds up to. But how ironic it would turn out to be if, whilst
our lords and masters have all the while been preparing us for global
warming, global COOLING should sneak up from behind and stab us all in

ELECTION 2008
Green candidate claims government killed 5,000
McKinney : 'Data was entered into a Pentagon computer'
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=76841
2nd October, 2008m © 2008 WorldNetDaily

Rep. Cynthia McKinney,
D-Ga.

The former Democratic congresswoman from Georgia who now is the Green Party's candidate for president has claimed the government killed 5,000 prison inmates during Hurricane Katrina, dumping their bodies in a Louisiana swamp, according to a Fox News report.
Cynthia McKinney told a news conference in Oakland. , Calif. , Sunday she heard the story from the mother of a National Guard soldier, and she checked it with "insiders" who want to remain anonymous.
"And these were mostly males and her son was afraid to talk because he had signed a silence agreement," McKinney said, according to Fox News. "So he only complained to his mother. But the data was entered into a Pentagon computer."
She alleged the government authorized the executions to be done with a bullet to the head.
"I suspect that these are prisoners. ... So this investigation of the whole prison industrial complex is extremely important and it should not end with just a question of the nature of prisons in our country. These 5,000 souls also need some justice too," Fox reported she said.
Lt. Col. Les Melnyk, a spokesman for the Defense Department, called it "outrageous."
"The claim ... doesn't merit any further consideration," he told Fox. "It would be inconceivable that 5,000 people would go missing in America without anyone noticing it prior to this."
Here is her comment: this is a video on the URL http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=76841
Psychologists and psychology professors contacted by Fox News expressed shock at the assertion.
"Wow! What a conspiracy theory," one professor exclaimed.
Commenting on the Fox News website forum were largely of one opinion:

"I am surprised she didn't claim it was 5,000 black men and a racist plot by Bush! Liberals eliminated all mental hospitals; now I know why! They would fill them all up!"
"I have never heard of her, this lady is a FRUIT LOOP."
"Life must be really scary on her planet."
"Obviously not the brightest crayola in the box. ... Cynthia...stick a fork in yourself dearyour DONE!"
Fox said McKinney 's presidential campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
She was in Congress for 12 years until 2007. She has, in the past, suggested President Bush knew in advance about the Sept. 11, 2001 , terrorist attacks but didn't warn Americans because of his father's business interests.
In 2006, McKinney was accused of slugging a Capitol police officer when she went through a security checkpoint without a congressional lapel pin for identification.
