Teenage jailed over grandma gangsta video.
An 18 year Florida teenager has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for coaxing his senile 85 years old grandma into making a gangsta rap video. In the video, the grandma was seen wearing an all black face mask, holding a gun, flashing some cash and uttering expletives.
To his defense, the kid said he got the idea from watching a gangsta DVD and thought his grandma would look good playing the role.
Give this kid some credit. Before he goes out into the real world and uses his skils, he has the presence of mind to practice his craft first with the ones close to him.

Senator from North Carolina accuses rival of being godless.
In North Carolina the U.S. senate race between incumbent Sen. Elizabeth Dole and Democrat challenger Kay Hagan has gotten too nasty with senator Dole accusing her rival of being "godless."
Kay Hagan feels so offended by the allegation that she filled an application for the right to file a complaint within 20 days after the elections.
That's a choker for me. I thought everybody knew by now that all politicians were godless.

Kim Jong - il reportedly hospitalized again.
News out of Japan point out that North Korea president has been hospitalized again following his attempts to recover from an apparent stroke suffered in August.
Yesterday, Japan's Prime Minister told reporters MPs in Tokyo that Kim was probably in the hospital, but was still able to make decisions as North Korea's leader.
The chief of South Korea's National Intelligence Service also said yesterday that Kim was "not physically perfect", but still able to rule the country.
What an irony; here you have the leader of a country part of the axle of evil, not "physically perfect" but still able to rule his country, versus a "physically perfect" U.S. president unable to rule his country.

Alaska GOP is pushing for the reelection of Ted Stevens.
Despite his conviction on Monday of seven felony counts, U.S. senator from Alaska Ted Stevens is continuing his campaign for reelection for a seventh term and now the Alaska Republican Party is backing him up. To justify their position, they say re-electing him will allow Republicans to hold onto his seat even if Mr. Stevens has to resign eventually.
Who can blame them? With the actual political and economic climates, trading some dignity for a senate seat seems to be an excellent deal.

Sarah Pailin $150,000 shoping spree.
The McCain campaign spent most of the day yesterday responding to news reports that the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 in designer gears for VP nominee Sarah Pailin since September.
Defending the expenses, McCain classified them expenses"as campaign accessories made on the fly because the governor needed new clothes to match climates across the 50 States."
Following that logic, shouldn't be 49 states given the fact that she may already have clothes to match Alaska's climate?

This would be the second case of such birth after a first one involving a pup born to a hammerhead shark at an Omaha Nebraska zoo.With two cases of virgin birth officially recorded, does it make sharks more religious than humans?

Bush announces U.S. will invest $250 billions into banks.
In an attempt to unfreeze the credit market, president Bush made an announcement yesterday that the U.S. government is investing $250 billions into some of the country largest banks in exchange for limited shares for taxpayers. According to CNNMonney.com, the historic measure is designed to " give banks the confidence to make loans to one another and their customers and help provide the economy the source of funds it needs to operate." But to qualify, those banks must agree to put limits on executive pay.

North Kotrea is removed from the terrorism blacklist.
Following North Korea's decision to restart its nuclear program unless it is taken off the terrorism blacklist, the Bush administration did just that on Saturday. To justify the move, officials at the State Department said the decision was in the best interest of the U.S. national security and consistent with the "action for action" principle of the negotiations.
Being the quick study he is, Osama Bin Laden threatened to stop eating Mac and Cheese until his name is taken off the terrorism blacklist.

California will run out of money soon.
In the midst of the global financial crisis, the State of California is said to be weeks away from running out of money. That prompted governor Arnold Schwarzenegger two weeks ago to send a letter to the U.S. treasury secretary Hank Paulson outlining an immediate need for $7 billion to pay for essential public services such as police and firefighters.
I have seen signs of that coming months ago when truck loads of Mexicans started bypassing California and went straight to the strips in Vegas.

A copy of the bill obtained by Congress showed that AIG forked over more than $440,000 for the trip, paying over $200,000 for room costing as much as $1,000 per night, and over $23,000 in spa services.Those discoveries made a lot of congressmen very angry.
Yeah! They were saying to themselves, "we could have spent that kind of money on ourselves had we known."

Foo Fighters against McCain playing their song at rallies
The Foo Fighters are the latest band to object to the use of their music by the McCain campaign at rallies.They are furious over the unauthorised use of their song "My Hero" which they say "was written as a celebration of the common man and his potential."
I know McCain has confessed not knowing much about computers or the economy. But apparently he does not know much about copy-rights either.

McCain intensifying attacks on Obama.
Over the weekend, john McCain's campaign has made no secret that they are going to intensify the personal attacks against Barack Obama with less than a month till the elections. Speaking to the Press this weekend, a senior Republican operative said: "there's no question that we have to change the subject here."
The subject in question here being the economy and how to fix it.
That should help draw a contrast between the Bush administration and a potential McCain's. If faced with issues he does not like, he will just change the subject.

Pope Benedict XVI finds pursuit of money and success pointless.
With the global financial crisis as a backdrop, Pope Benedict XVI took a shot at the core of capitalism, money and materialism by saying in a speech at the Vatican Sunday that "those who seek success, career or money, are building on sand." He went on to say that people should instead live their lives based on God's word.
I wonder where is God's word that Christians need to elect for life a Pope wearing gold studded clothing and hats and with the lifestyle of a King.
