ABC News: Cops Busted by Own Tapes:

ABC News: Cops Busted by Own Tapes:

"From shootouts caught by dashboard cameras to high-speed chases,
police confrontations caught on video are a huge spectator sport on the Web.
Originally, these videos were meant to help prosecute criminals, but now that
the public can view them with a single click, police are beginning to realize
that anyone can become judge and jury in just an instant — even the police
themselves."

While this might not be popular with some cops, I think that this is good for the public. One it gives them a window into the daily struggles that police officers face. It also gives them a way to see for themselves the actions that police are taking to protect them. Both actions that are heroic and actions that are far less so. While I understand that it means more stress for the officers, it even helps them in some cases. If a suspect claims to have been beaten in custody, but in on camera attacking on officer it helps to defeat the suspects claim.

Barnes & Noble Reverses on 'If I Did It'

Barnes & Noble Inc. has changed its mind about the new O.J. Simpson book.
After saying it would not stock copies of "If I Did It" in its stores,
citing lack of customer demand, the chain told The Associated Press on Thursday
that it would indeed carry the book.

Barnes & Noble changed its mind and chose the low road as opposed to to noble path. I know this is not the first book about a murder, it isn't even the first book about the OJ murder. However there is something that feels very wrong about this book.

Talking Points Memo | What About Sen. David Vitter?

Talking Points Memo What About Sen. David Vitter?:

"So how will Senate Republicans square their calls for Sen. Larry Craig's
resignation with their support for Sen. David Vitter (R-LA)? Let's put it this
way: Vitter did more than slide his foot under a bathroom stall. He has as much
as admitted to breaking the law by paying for prostitutes proffered by the D.C.
Madam. He left precious little ambiguity in his public statements, though he
didn't go quite as far as Craig's guilty plea."

I think Vitter needs to go now too. It is time to start cleaning house.

MSNBC Duped By Blog Parody Site » The Moderate Voice:

"Reporters will interview people, or, in this day and age, do an internet
search. And then you can strike GOLD: that great QUOTE on a website that fits a
story perfectly. But there are danger signs on the cyberspace highway. That’s
because there are parody sites…and some of them look like REAL websites of the
rich, famous and infamous. And some of them are so silly and laugh-out loud
outrageous, snarky and downright dumb that they seem like they MUST be the real
thing."

Someone is looking for a new job over this one I bet. It is basic journalism that you don't take one source and run with it, and you don't trust the internet. Besides Dolphin fighting rings?

Edwards Cuba Stumble Receives Meager Media Attention | NewsBusters.org

Edwards Cuba Stumble Receives Meager Media Attention NewsBusters.org:

"When an Iowa resident asked former senator John Edwards Thursday whether
the United States should follow the Cuban healthcare model, the 2004 vice
presidential contender deflected the question by saying he didn't know enough to
answer the question. 'I'm going to be honest with you - I don't know a lot about
Cuba's healthcare system,' Edwards, D-N.C., said at an event in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
'Is it a government-run system?'"

Sounds like an attempt to avoid the question at best. As a candidate and potential president, this is information that he should be aware of. This is after he had reportedly watch Michael Moore's movie "Sicko", which talks a little bit about Cuba.

Watching Those We Chose: World-renowned scientist wants new 9/11 investigation, but unfortunately appears to be adding to conspiracy thinking

Watching Those We Chose: World-renowned scientist wants new 9/11 investigation, but unfortunately appears to be adding to conspiracy thinking:

"Now, Lynn Margulis is a biologist, not a structural engineer. But, she’s also a
world-class scientist not given to non-scientific thinking, including conspiracy
theories. So, should her call for a new 9/11 investigation should be taken at
least somewhat seriously?"

It will never be enough, until we all come to the same crazy truther conclusions that these people came to immediately after the towers fell. These are people who feel like they have no control over their government, so they shun the government. They want to feel important, so they make up "truths" that they know and we don't to make themselves feel like they have power and knowledge that the rest of us are lacking.

Watching Those We Chose: Sen. Craig forced to resign from committee posts, calls for resignation grow louder

Watching Those We Chose: Sen. Craig forced to resign from committee posts, calls for resignation grow louder:

"Republican leadership forced beleagured Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) to resign
from his committee and subcommittee posts today, and calls for his resignation
from the Senate grew louder within his own party. Sens. John McCain and Norm
Coleman and Rep. Peter Hoekstra all publicly called for Craig to step down."

This is the right thing to do. It sets the tone for the future discussion on the topic. It also sets the standard for what is the expected behavior in this situation. This isn't about morality, this is about the character of a person who would violate a relationship with his wife, engage in illegal behavior in a public restroom. I have strong doubts that a leader with a character like that is one that we should trust.

lgf: Terrorists Angry at Human Rights Watch:

"The extremely anti-Israel NGO Human Rights Watch is releasing a report that,
for a change, actually criticizes Hizballah for its deliberate targeting of

the Lebanese government are freaking out: Lebanon slams rights report on
Hezbollah war with Israel."

Someone isn't used to be called to task for their misdeeds.

lgf: Japanese Internet Access: Really Really Fast

lgf: Japanese Internet Access: Really Really Fast:

"Broadband service here is eight to 30 times as fast as in the United
States — and considerably cheaper. Japan has the world’s fastest Internet
connections, delivering more data at a lower cost than anywhere else, recent
studies show. Accelerating broadband speed in this country — as well as in South
Korea and much of Europe — is pushing open doors to Internet innovation that are
likely to remain closed for years to come in much of the United States."

What I think we are seeing here is the results of how societies invest their capital. Europe and Japan have made vastly different choices in how they invest their capital than we have. It is no shock that the results that they have gotten are very different.

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video: Air Force set to deploy the Reaper

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video: Air Force set to deploy the Reaper:

"The Air Force next month will deploy a new generation of pilotless
airplane with the bombing power of an F-16 to help stop the stubborn Taliban
insurgency in Afghanistan.The Reaper is an upgraded version of the Predator,
which has become one of the military’s most sought-after planes since it first
appeared in Afghanistan in 2001. The Reaper can fly three times as fast as a
Predator and carry eight times more weaponry, such as Hellfire missiles, the Air
Force said."

I think Obama had a point, though he could have communicated it better. The bombing of targets from 10,000 feet means that we are killing innocent people. I am not suggesting that we are targeting them, but that they result from being too close to the targets, or being confused with the targets. More importantly though, it gives the image of a lack of concern for civilian lives. That one thing could defeat us faster than any weapons. The solution is tricky, and I don't know what it is, because troops on the ground present problems of a different nature. I doubt more fire power in the skies is going to calm the fighting though.

The fact that it is pilotless, and that it is a person hundreds or thousands of miles away from the action, targeting militants and killing civilians is not a good image.

The Truth About Iraq

Townhall.com::Blog The Truth About Iraq

HH: Now General, when I was looking over your bio to prepare for this, you’ve
served a whole bunch of places in the world, Germany, Korea, Kuwait, of course
now in Iraq, so you’ve seen a lot of different foreign armies operating. Is the
quality of the Iraqi officer corps of the sort that can preserve a military
supporting a civilian government over the long haul? Or as we’ve seen before, a
lot of Arab governments have fallen to a lot of army officers with guns drawn in
coups. What’s that situation like?
JS: That, you know, Hugh, that’s a real good question. I have not personally observed political motivation from the senior leadership in the Iraqi Army. And what I see is some dedicated professionals who are seriously interested in the welfare of Iraq as a nation,
and they are concerned about getting the insurgency under control, and making
sure that they have an army that’s capable of defending Iraq against her
traditional enemies here in the Middle East. Of course, there is a history in
Iraq of the army selecting the leadership of the government. I mean, that has
certainly happened here in Iraq during its relatively short history as a modern
nation. But I have not seen that in dealing with the majority of the senior
folks that I deal with. Now what I would tell you is that when you get further
down the system, and you get down to the captains and the majors, they are very,
very strongly influenced by our young leaders that are out there on the
battlefield with them every day. And they are embracing the idea of the American
armed forces about selfless service and dedication to the nation, and I see that
as those more junior officers continue to develop and grow into leadership
positions, that the Iraqi Armed Forces has a potential to have a very capable
and professional armed forces that is loyal to the elected government.

If this report from Gen. James E. Simmons is accurate, then Iraq has a strong potential to survive as a country. This will be attacked by people on the right as propaganda because it doesn't fit the picture that they have of Iraq. They will claim that it is a whitewash, I think that even if half of what he is saying is true, then the country has a stronger future than many might believe right now.

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Huckabee unloads on Fred: The would-be emperor has no clothes

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Huckabee unloads on Fred: The would-be emperor has no clothes:

"In an interview I conducted this week in Iowa with presidential candidate
Mike Huckabee, I asked him to explain why Fred Thompson was getting so much
attention before he even enters the presidential race.He said, “I frankly don’t
get it. I mean I’m not being unkind I just don’t understand it because there’s
not a substantial record in the Senate in him having authored the landmark
signature bill that changed America. There’s not been in essence the kind of
thing that says boy I remember when he did and then you fill in the blank. I
think a lot of it is that people aren’t sure whether they’re electing a former
senator or Arthur Branch. Anytime a person is on television a lot and a
celebrity there’s a sense in which people are given a unique pedestal on which
to stand and it’s the celebrity more than it is anything, the attention that
comes from that and the sort of gee whiz factor and I’ve seen him on TV.”"

He makes a couple solid points here. We really know very little about his stand on the issues and what kind of president he would be. Also there is the question of if people are voting for Fred Thompson the actor/lobbyist or are the voting for his character DA Branch. It is my opinion, if and when he joins the race he will sink in the polls quickly. I wonder if he is delaying an entrance in the race, hoping that people will connect more with his DA character than they do with him.

Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog » Targeting Democratic Freshmen By Frightening Senior Citizens

Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog » Targeting Democratic Freshmen By Frightening Senior Citizens:

"In response to the $2.7 billion cuts to Medicare that were passed by the U.S.
House of Representatives in the Children’s Health and Medicare Protection Act
(CHAMP Act), the long term care provider community today initiated an aggressive
TV and print campaign in Congressional districts across the country. The
campaign warns that proposed cuts will jeopardize ongoing quality improvements
in America’s nursing homes, threaten thousands of local health care jobs, and
irrationally return Medicare funding levels to those seen almost a decade ago."

I first want to say that I think this was one of the under reported weaknesses in the bill. Secondly, a step like supporting the bill is dangerous for politicians, because seniors vote, kids don't vote. Parents vote sometimes, when they have the time between everything else in their lives.

Crooks and Liars » Turdblossom’s Car Falls Victim To Prank

Crooks and Liars » Turdblossom’s Car Falls Victim To Prank:

"White House pranksters wrapped Rove’s Jaguar in plastic wrap on the private
driveway next to the West Wing. Rove’s car is easily recognizable because of its
“I love Barack Obama” bumper sticker and the twin stuffed-animal eagles on the
trunk. Oh, and there’s a stuffed-animal elephant on the hood. Rove, the top
White House political strategist who recently announced his resignation, left
his car on the driveway while visiting Texas and traveling with President Bush.
He was due back in Washington Wednesday evening."

That's just funny, pointless but funny. It would be even funnier if we found out later that it was his staff or one of his friends who did it.

Captain's Quarters: Sadr Backs Down

"Moqtada al-Sadr, who has tread lightly on Iraq's stage for the past
several months, announced today that his Mahdi Army will undergo rehabilitation.
It will take the next six months to reorganize itself, and in the meantime will
conduct no offensive operations in Iraq, including actions against American
forces:"

This sounds like a positive step for Iraq, and the American mission there. Hopefully Sadr's group will reform as more of a political movement and less of a militant movement. The less armed factions and more political ones in Iraq, the better.

Captain's Quarters

Captain's Quarters: Poverty Rates Drop In US

"The nation’s poverty rate fell in 2006 for the first time this decade, the
Census Bureau reported today, even as the percentage of Americans without health
insurance coverage hit a record high. The results were not consistent across
racial or age groups. For Hispanics, the poverty rate fell by 1.2 percentage
points to 20.6 percent, while for whites, blacks and Asians, it remained
statistically unchanged."

This is what you would expect to see as the Hispanic immigrants become part of the culture and gain more of a stake in the economy. Every group comes into the country at the bottom of the social-economic pile and have to struggle their way to the top. This also points to doubts about the effects of immigration driving down wages, the Hispanic wages wouldn't have risen at all if this is the case.

Don Surber » Blog Archive » Laundering for Hillary?:

"The Wall Street Journal reported today that the 6 members of the Paw family
that live inside the 1,280-square-foot house gave a total of $45,000 to
Hillary’s 3 political campaigns. The Paws gave a total of $270,000 in recent
years to the Democratic Party in recent years."

No wonder they live in a dump, they are giving all their money to Hilary. The best thing for Hilary to do, is to get in front of this. She should claim that she and her campaign had no knowledge of a scam, and publicly return the money. It wouldn't change some peoples view of the situation, but it would address some peoples concerns.

If it weren't for the internet I don't think I would ever see nipples, thank god for the internet, and today thank god for Sheryl Crows nipples. Click ok the line to see the photos.

The Teen Choice Awards! Nicole Richie Goes To Jail!

celebrity nation: Lindsay to get rehab visit from her dad

celebrity nation: Lindsay to get rehab visit from her dad:

"Lindsay Lohan and her mom have decided to allow Michael Lohan to visit his
eldest daughter at her Utah rehab. 'It was actually her older brother Michael's
idea. It's part of the healing process,' a friend said. 'Lindsay will see him
later this week, but she will have counselors with her. It will not be alone.'
Michael - whose divorce from Dina is likely to be finalized soon, now that
they've resolved most issues between them, including custody - hasn't seen
Lindsay in years due to his abusive temper and violent behavior. In order for
him to be allowed to visit, Dina - who has a restraining order out against
Michael - had to get it lifted. 'Dina thinks it is a good idea,' the friend
said. 'Lindsay needs to deal with this and needs closure.' Michael has said he's
been sober and found God since leaving jail earlier this summer. A rep for the
Lohans said, 'Yes, he will be seeing his daughter.'"

It will be good for them to see each other. She see's her mother from time to time and her mother is crazy, Lindsay can deal. If I were her though I would take chance to tell Micheal to stop pimping himself off my fame.

her off in a cab to North London."

Isn't that nice, instead of seeing if she needs help they just take a few pictures. Probably some stupid tourists, oh look lets get a picture with Amy Winehouse in the gutter. They would then gather around Lily like she was a clown for their picture.

"LOS ANGELES, Calif. (August 29, 2007) – Police were called to Owen

stomach pumped. The attorney said Wilson had been taking anti-depressants, but
was not aware of any other drugs in his system at the time of the
incident."

Owen's attorney brings us good news and bad news. The good news is that he didn't have to get his stomach pumped and he did not overdose. The bad news, is that anyone who was looking forward to hearing him sobbing on the phone, the tapes are not going to be released.

"The custody battle between Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston over their
fourteen-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina, appeared to have reignited, with
Bobby claiming that he was giving so much money to his wife, in order to help
support her and his daughter during Whitney's stay in rehab, that he was forced
to live out of his car. Whitney, for her part, is claiming that Bobby has done
almost nothing to help care for their daughter, and claims that his claim for
spousal support is without merit. From Bobby"

Custody battles appear to be the hot thing in Hollywood these days, we got Britney v. Kevin, Denise v. Charlie and now Whitney v. Bobby. I hope that the kids make it through this ok. A note to explain the future, the divorces today, are the seeds of the problems that will be the headlines of tabloids of the future.

X17 XCLUSIVE - Has the Victim Become the Suspect? - UPDATE (X17 Online):

"Sam says he spoke with Office Mike Lopez of the LAPD today and it's
actually Mark Vincent Kaplan's process servers who are the focus of this
investigation. Calls to his and his publicists office have not been returned.
Sam also says he will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those who are
guilty of what he calls entrapment and assault with a deadly weapon against him.
He also claims Kaplan's people were shooting video throughout the incident
yesterday and suggests there may be a reason Kaplan has not released the
tapes."

Reports from X17 online counter stories that were going around yesterday about Kevin's server being the victim of the attack. The person that Kevin's server was attempting to give papers to claims that it was he and not Kevin's server who was attacked. He claims that Kevin's server attacked him and blocked him into his driveway. Sounds like a sticky situation no matter how you look at it.

Michael Lohan Reality Show | Pop Crunch

Michael Lohan Reality Show Pop Crunch:

"Lindsay Lohan’s Preaching Papa is currently shopping a reality show to several
major networks. The chatty ex-con invited reality cameras to follow him through
his recent divorce battle with ex-wife Dina Lohan and Mike’s convinced the
knee-slapping footage is ideal for a one-man series on reality tv."

I don't think anyone wants this media whore to be a role model for others. At this point, he is just trying to sell the show, hopefully no one will buy it. It would be better if someone purchased him a one way ticket to some where far away.
