A series of responses given by Casey Anthony during police interviews are not consistent with a desperate mother who wants to find her daughter, a psychologist told Local 6.

This version of Benny and the jet has nothing to do with the hit Elton John song. "Benny" is Benny Hinn, the Dallas-area televangelist. The jet is Dove One, a Gulfstream G4SP that his ministry recently acquired, according to his Web site. Hinn's ministry did not return a call from the Houston Chronicle, but it has very publicly sought help paying for the plane. Hinn wants 6,000 of his "partners" to donate $1,000 each toward the down payment. Extensive information about Dove One on the Web doesn't include the total cost, but similiar Gulfstream jets appear to sell for at...

I came across this while checking out the latest on XM's suspension of Opie and Anthony. It is a youtube made video with commentary of an O'Reilly show supposedly from last night. My question, did this really happen? If it did it seems rather hypocritical to attack Opie and Anthony when someone on his show made a joke about a real rape not lasting long enough.

Apparently, you can't go too far on satellite radio. In what seems to be a very sketchy 'suspension', XM Satellite Radio has pulled the plug on Opie and Anthony satellite-only show for the next 30 days. According to XM's press release, the pair did not sound sincere enough in their on-air apologies following last week's crude comments made about the Secretrary of State, Queen of England and the First Lady by "Homeless Charlie" on their satellite-only program.(BRW 5/11). For the past year, CBS Radio has been airing the terrestrial version of the show which serves as a marketing platform to...

XM Radio deplored the comments aired on "The Opie & Anthony Show" last week. At the time, the company strongly expressed its views to Opie and Anthony, and they issued an immediate apology. Comments made by Opie and Anthony on yesterday's broadcast put into question whether they appreciate the seriousness of the matter....

Mayor Thomas M. Menino is chastising shock jocks Opie & Anthony and WBCN for broadcasting a live "Homeless Shopping Spree" yesterday where homeless people were given money and were taken to a New Jersey mall... "This so-called "shopping spree" is a sick and twisted exercise that degrades the most vulnerable members of our society," Menino. "This is wrong, and we need the public . . . who care about the homeless and about basic human decency to stand up and tell them so." According to a live broadcast of the program yesterday, more than 2,000 people showed up at the...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three quarters of Americans can correctly identify two of Show White's seven dwarfs while only a quarter can name two Supreme Court Justices, according to a poll on pop culture released on Monday. According to the poll by Zogby International, commissioned by the makers of a new game show on pop culture called "Gold Rush," 57 percent of Americans could identify J.K. Rowling's fictional boy wizard as Harry Potter, while only 50 percent could name the British prime minister, Tony Blair. The pollsters spoke to 1,213 people across the United States. The results had a margin...

The great Anthony of Padua has a universal appeal in the Catholic Church (he is truly a "catholic" saint). His statue can be found in churches the world over. He is most famous as the patron of lost articles. God knows how many times I've invoked his intercession in that area. But he has earned another title for his gift of converting the "sheep who had wandered" with his preaching - malleus haereticorum - or "the hammer of heretics." While he is known for being a saint of the Italian city of Padua, St. Anthony was actually from Portugal, and...

Long before they were competing shock jocks on opposition satellite radio networks, XM's Opie and Anthony and Sirius' Howard Stern worked for the same radio company in New York. And it wasn't much fun, Opie and Anthony say during an interview airing at 9 tonight on the Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes. ''The guy made our lives miserable when we worked for Infinity Broadcasting,'' Anthony says. ``He put a gag order on us so we couldn't talk about him. He didn't like somebody else being successful in his city, in New York. His home base. [Even though] we were...

Newly unsealed documents in billionaire Ron Burkle's divorce include allegations by his former wife that he spied on her, their young son and her boyfriend. The documents, released late Friday, also included a declaration from Burkle's 29-year-old daughter that her father once told her his security staff had videos of wife Janet Burkle and her boyfriend having sex. Burkle's attorney, Patricia L. Glaser, disputed the allegations in a letter to the Los Angeles Times. "Mr. Burkle never told his daughter any such thing," Glaser said. "There are no such videotapes. There was no such eavesdropping. This is not true." The...

Reacting to the impending deal, Catholic League President Bill Donohue released a statement, "After I lashed out against Opie and Anthony for providing an on-air account of a sexual stunt in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 2002, they were fired by Infinity Broadcasting, the CBS Radio outlet. Once they were dumped, I withdrew the complaint that I had filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and asked the FCC to drop its investigation. On August 5, 2004, I issued a news release about the decision of XM Satellite Radio to pick up the duo beginning October 4. At that time I...

Pellicano did work directly with one president: during Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign Pellicano was hired, reportedly by Hillary Clinton, to discredit Gennifer Flowers, the woman who alleged that she had maintained a 12-year affair with the candidate. Six years later, with Clinton into his second term, the White House, according to the New York Post, hired Pellicano, considered a respected forensic audio specialist, to look into Monica Lewinsky's background. Another report places Pellicano, who was hired by OJ Simpson before the murder of Nicole Simpson, outside her house on the night that she was killed... Anthony Pellicano has worked...

Rome paid tribute to the barbarians clamoring at her gates. It didn't do any good. Paying ransom only postponed the inevitable sacking, burning, and looting of the empire's capital. The UK's Neville Chamberlain sought to pacify Hitler, only to see Brits hiding in basements from the blitzkrieg a few years later. Instead of remembering history's lessons, the Washington Post today indulges in feel-good, intellectual rationalization of Muslim intolerance and hatred. In a 5-page manifesto entitled, "Anatomy of the Cartoon Protest Movement," authors Anthony Shadid and Kevin Sullivan exercise unlimited poetic license, calling Islamist hooliganism "a rare moment of empowerment among...

DENVER -- Carmelo Anthony was cited for marijuana possession before getting on a team flight last week, but the Denver Nuggets' star says the drug was left in his backpack by a friend.

Anthony's attorney, Daniel Recht, said the marijuana was left in the bag by an out-of-town friend who borrowed the backpack last week. "The friend obviously uses marijuana and left a small amount in the backpack when he returned it to...

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ A slugfest in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate is expected to beef up the voter turnout for Tuesday's primary election in Oklahoma. Michael Clingman, secretary of the state Election Board, is predicting a moderate turnout of about 600,000 voters. That would be an increase of 100,000 votes from a similar election eight years ago. Besides a bitterly fought and expensive campaign by GOP Senate candidates, Clingman said the number of open seats in the Legislature because of term limits should increase the turnout statewide. Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m....

Around 50 retired US diplomats have written to US President George Bush to complain about America's policy towards the Middle East. The letter is similar to one written by 52 former British diplomats to UK Prime Minister Tony Blair last week. The former US diplomats complained that President Bush's approach is losing the US "credibility, prestige and friends". They criticised what they say is Washington's unabashed support for Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. The American diplomats said they were deeply concerned by Mr Bush's endorsement last month of Mr Sharon's plan to withdraw unilaterally from Gaza. 'Great danger' They were...

Who's Lying to You About Early Feminism? Susan B. Anthony: Lucifer's Babe? December 1, 2003 by Art Lemasters Many people of scriptural faith have been duped into believing that Susan B. Anthony was a devout follower of the Word by feminist mentions that she was a Quaker, that Quakers were strict, and so forth. Those stories omit the truth. Anthony's family was with the liberal Hicksite Quakers, that is, until she stopped attending Quaker meetings. In liberal Quaker doctrine, scriptures are secondary to each person's "Inner Light." Some Quakers disagree with liberal thought against scripture, but Anthony could not have...

The more I think about the St. Patrick's incident on the Opie and Anthony show, the madder I get. I want to nail Viacom, which produced the show, and all of its sponsors, so badly that they'll never dream of committing sacrilege in a church again. What shall we do? Who shall we boycott? So far, I've got one name--The NRO Web site says that the Boston Brewing Company used to be a sponsor. Close enough. Write to response@samadams.com and tell them to stop sponsoring it, or else. As I find other targets, I'll post 'em.
