About 500 attend tea party rally in Joplin

I am not even sure of the article it is basically about a bunch of RACIST idiots who showed up and called Obahma everything other than a man. There were so many idiots there. I mean helllooooo number one most of us voted for Obama. He didn't win by a hair he won by a LAND SLIDE!!! OK number 2, I he is an OREO. He is Half BLACK and Half WHITE and is NOT best friends with the guy who attacked our nation and sent us to war like BUSH did. Personally he could kiss all your ____ and you would still not be happy. First off noone could in the next 10 years fix what BUSH did to our nation so give it a break. He is trying. You so easily forget that when we were attacked Bush sat in a classroom and did NOTHING then he helped the guy who bombed us family out of the country. Also, BUSH sent us after Iraq and not after the guy who ATTACKED us. So, until you get a BRAIN. Please do the world a favor and SHUT-UP! If Obama was white you guys would be applauding him for what he has done. Watch CNN. They are on all the time. I watch all the time and what I hear over and over is if Obama was white people would be appluading him and chearing him on, but since he is BLACK people want to se him fail. Get over it, his skin color is NOT going to change!!

Kansas man who flipped off cop gets $5,000 from city

A Kansas man who flipped off a police officer after being issued a ticket for running a stop sign is geting rewarded with $5,000. The city of Olathe settled a civil rights complaint filed by Scott Schaper of Overland Park, KS. He was ticketed for disorderly conduct; when he flipped the bird. The city of Olathe agreed to pay the $5,000 from it's insurance and the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and western Mo. Schaper said the only reason he reacted the way he did is because the traffic stop had made his children cry.

I agree they SHOULD pay him. It is not illegal to flip someone off. That's called freedom of expression. I am glad he won his case. Police Officer's are supposed to be used to this kind of behavior.

Police: Man tortured 4-year-old to death for wetting his pants

     Brandon Joshua-Frederich Hayes, 24, is bing charged with 9 charges after he allegedly beat his girlfriends 4 year old son to death for wetting his pants. Some of the charges include first-degree premeditated murder, first-degree child abuse, and torture. The boy, Dominick, was punched, kicked, and burned. The boy's mother was present for atleast some of the beating and tried to shield the boy from Hayes' aggression, authorities said. However, the police are still looking into the role of the mother, Corrine Baker. Some of the mothers whereabouts and actions through all portions of the torture session remain somewhat hazy. They are now trying to locate her and cannot find her.

WOW! What a mother! NOT!

   What kind of police officers worked this case? They should know no matter what is going on a mother would never abandon their child during something like this. A real mother who cared would have tried to do more. Plus, she was only there for some of the beating? If she left why didn't she call the cops and not the sister who showed up to score drugs? I hope the police find her and charge her for murder as well.

Ancient skeletal remains shed new light on evolution

Scientists may have discovered a new branch on your family tree. In South Africa, a team of researchers unearthed remains that are believed to be remains of an unkown species. They discovered a couple of partial skeletons; an adult female and a young male hominid, that are nearly 2 million years old. The species is thought to have been taller and stronger than older species like "Lucy," the roughly 3 million year old skeleton discovered in 1974. The team leader says this discovery may help clarify a murky biological picture of that time. The discovery of the remains was akin to stepping into a time machine, says Dr. Lee Berger.

Amazed!

I love finding and learning about new things. I can't wait to hear about what else they find. I love adventure and discovery stories and this was a great one. The story is long, but worth the read.

Mexican police: 'Survivor' producer detained in wife's death

A police investigation suggests that the wife of a former producer on CBC' "Survivors" reality T.V. show; died of strangulation. The former producer, Bruce Beresford-Redman, reported his wife missing two days prior to her body being found. Her body was found in a sewer at a resort in Cancun, Mexico. The are a lot of hear say that she left him do to him haveing an affair. All this is so far just a rumor. However he is being detained.

Wow, what an article.

  Hasn't he ever been told that it is cheaper to just sell your wife in Mexico and get away with it than killing in Mexico. I love the show survivors; so this article really appealed to me. I will always be a fan of survivor, but for the former producer I give this advice: "You might want to hire O.J. Simpsons Lawyer." 

Marine officer: Gays, straights shouldn't share housing

Marine Corps' top oficer says he would want to avoid housing gay and straight Marines in the same rooms on the base if ban on gays openly serving in the military is lifted. An overwhelming number of service members male and female have stated that they DON'T want to share quarters with a gay person.

This is my point.

So, where is the funding going to come from? DUH! US! I think we have the perfect policy we don't ask and you don't tell. This doesn't mean you can't be gay and serve this gives a gay person the choice. In my husbands last unit he was in that went to Iraq there was someone that was gay and most of the unit knew it. Now I will not go into detail on who this person is because they are still serving and I do NOT want no harm to come to them; but when I asked this person what they thought they said the ban should NOT be lifted do to safety reasons. That it was bad enough to worry about their life while serving in the war, but when they transfered units after returning home they are afraid to talk about it do to the threats now going on in the military if the ban is lifted.

Unemployment on the rise for veterans of current wars

Unemployment rates are on the rise for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan war. It has reached 14.7 percent as of this March. Veterans groups are mad they say this is unacceptable! Tom Tarantino says" This is no way to welcome home a new generation of heroes!" The reasons for the high unemployment rate is due to poor transfer skills, lack of help from the military, and more. One example was that they have combat medics who are doing amazing feats of emergency medical care in the field; but when they get home most states, they're not qualified to drive an ambulance. Sullivan says soliders would make great employees, because they're loyal, hardworking, and they've worked in the hardest conditions imaginable.

Great Story! Needs more publicity.

This is the truth and it has gone on for many generations of vets. Look at other war vets, they are out living on the streets. I think we need to be more concerned about this then GAY people. I never hated a subject in all my life, but I really am getting sick and tired of  the subject GAY being read more than the ones about are HEROES. Your gay and I DON"T CARE!

Pentagon faces hurdles in 'don't ask, don't tell' study

The Pentagon is trying to remove the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Defense secretary Robert Gates is seeking opinions of gay troops, but is finding it very difficult to do since gays know if they say their gay they can be kicked out of the military. So, they are urging soilders to come out and just speak their opinions.

Isn't this story ironic.

I mean let's ask gay troops how they feel about lifting the ban, but if the troops speak up they get kicked out. Who would come forward? I look at like this: I don't care if your gay, black, white, chinese, Jewish, or whatever leave well enough alone. Your just going to hurt more people if you point out who is gay and who is not. Doesn't this remind you of the slaves day when the US was seperated black and white and NOW you people are trying to seperated it at Gays and straights. Everything was fine before we started giving SPECIAL treatment to them. Leave it ALONE your just going to hurt innocent people in the long run.
