This takes the cake when it comes to calling in sick!
Blockbuster employee Aaron Siebers stabbed himself rather than go to work at a Sheridan Boulevard Blockbuster. Siebers could be facing false-reporting charges since he called in and claimed that “he’d been stabbed in Edgewater by “three skinheads or Hispanic males dressed in black” who tried to rob him. “Trouble is, a surveillance video from a business where this alleged attack supposedly took place didn’t show anything like what Siebers described…so he had to come clean.
Wow. F’n wow.
A woman who police believe to be Deborah Jeane Palfrey, known as the “D.C. Madam,” was found dead in Florida Thursday, according to Tarpon Springs police.
The body has not been positively identified.
“Detectives are investigating an apparent suicide of a (white female) that appears to be in her early 50s,” Tarpon Springs police said in a news release.
Suicide notes were found near the body in a small storage shed next to a mobile home, police said.
Palfrey, 52, was reportedly staying at the home of her mother, who owns the property where the body was found, police said.
It’s about time. Barbaric, brutal and bad PR, frankly:
Iran’s chief judge has ordered that executions will no longer take place in public, the official IRNA news agency reported Wednesday.
Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, a moderate conservative cleric, also banned publishing pictures and broadcasting video footage of executions, the report said.
(…)
Shahroudi has made other surprising decisions in the past. In 2004, he ordered a ban on the use of torture in obtaining confessions — a decision widely seen as the first public acknowledgment of the practice of torture in Iran.
He also opened the doors to Iran’s infamous Evin prison in 2006. That offered international media their first glimpse inside the compound, where torture, forced confessions and floggings have reportedly taken place.

Hmm… the conspiracy theorist nuts will have fun with this one, but
Obama got more paper votes while Hillary got more digital Diebold votes:
Hillary Clinton, Diebold Accuvote optical scan: 39.618%
Clinton, Hand Counted Paper Ballots: 34.908%
Barack Obama, Diebold Accuvote optical scan: 36.309%
Obama, Hand Counted Paper Ballots: 38.617%
No comment. But according to the paper votes, Obama beat Hillary 38.6% to 34.9%… then according to the Diebold vite, Hillary upset Obama 39.6% to 36.3%.
America the Great indeed…
The freedom Internet users are given to voice their opinions, post any images or videos they wish and belong to various online communities, is proof, yet again, that laws should be revised regarding its use.
Facebook is confronted with an issue, and not for the first time either. Pictures identifying the three people involved (the two murders and the victim) are being posted, whereas the public announcement of their identities is illegal for media outlets.
“Toronto police say the use of a Facebook web site in the Stefanie Rengel case highlights the futility of imposing publication bans and that something needs to be done to update the law. Under restrictions imposed by the Youth Criminal Justice Act, media outlets were banned from identifying either the victim or two teenagers accused in the girl’s death.
Despite the ban, all three identities, including pictures, are being freely posted on Facebook, which is against the law.
Police and legal experts are concerned that those actions might affect the right to a fair trial for a teenaged boy and girl charged in Rengel’s death.
The 14-year-old died New Year’s Day in hospital of stab wounds after being found bleeding on the sidewalk near O’Connor Drive and St. Clair Avenue by a passerby. Mark Pugash, spokesman for the Toronto Police Service, says the Rengel case is a perfect example of how Facebook can often interfere with the rule of law.“

That is a funny idea, until you consider that the rumor is gaining traction.

Readers of this blog know I don’t really care who will win, sure, I have a soft spot for Ron Paul, but I can’t vote (I’m not American). Regardless, sadly, the Great American nation will be paying for the sins and management of George “Dumbass” Bush and Darth Cheney. That’s a fact, the American Empire is no more. But it would be good for the American people if they elect someone with a backbone who would make the Founding Fathers proud.
This Mike Huckabee, unfortunately, is not it. Last week, word got out that he let go a rapist that went on to rape again:
Huckabee has come under scrutiny for his role in the parole of a convicted rapist who later went on to rape and kill another woman.
As Arkansas governor, Huckabee supported the parole of Wayne DuMond, who was convicted and sentenced to a life term for raping a 17-year-old girl. After DuMond’s parole in 1999, he killed a woman in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2003. DuMond died in prison two years later.
Huckabee wrote a 1996 letter to DuMond supporting his release from prison.
That was last week, this week it’s:
Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee refused to retract a statement he made in 1992 calling for the isolation of AIDS patients.
Huckabee said steps should be taken to “isolate the carriers of this plague” during his failed run for a U.S. Senate seat from Arkansas 15 years ago.
He said he probably would not make the same statement today because of what is known about how HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is transmitted.
“I had simply made the point — and I still believe this today — that in the late ’80s and early ’90s, when we didn’t know as much as we do now about AIDS, we were acting more out of political correctness than we were about the normal public health protocols that we would have acted,” Huckabee told Fox News on Sunday.
What a disaster. The last thing we need is someone to worry about what is politically correct or incorrect.
Is he going to kill dogs next?
We know Rudy Giuliani is a fraud and Hillary Clinton would have led us into a war with Iran; John McCain is delusional… the list goes on.
