Cold Beer and Prejudice at the White House so much for baseball apple pie and Chevrolet. Hey, Chevrolet is still an American made car under the Obama administration isn’t it? Oh well any ways, it’s quite an occasion and a teachable moment when the president of Racism pals up with his Black scholar professor friend and play the race card on Cambridge police officer Sgt. James Crowley. Without knowing all of the facts Barack Obama called Sgt. Crowley’s actions stupid referring to the arrest of professor Gates. Crowley was responding to a 9-1-1 call of a possible break in and...

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - Byrd and Melanie Billings had a growing brood of adopted children with autism, Down syndrome and other disabilities, and took care to make their nine-bedroom house a safe place for them, wiring it with surveillance cameras in every room. It was those cameras that captured images of the masked men who shot the wealthy couple to death in a break-in executed with chilling precision.

Services were moved to the parking lot of a Rainier Beach church after a naked man smashed through a window Saturday, spattering HIV-positive blood inside and leaving a trail of destruction through the house of worship. Officials believe the 46-year-old suspect was high on PCP during his unholy rampage through the Unity Church of God in Christ - and now the church interior is considered a bio-hazard because of the tainted blood inside.

John McCain's campaign said Wednesday it has contacted "appropriate authorities" over a report that Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin's personal e-mail had been hacked. "This is a shocking invasion of the Governor's privacy and a violation of law," campaign manager Rick Davis said in a statement. "The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these emails will destroy them. We will have no further comment." The statement came hours after a user on the Web site WikiLeaks said he had gained access to Palin's Yahoo e-mail account and gained access....

Sometime early this morning, between approximately 3:00am - 4:00am, members of an infamous group of hackers broke into Gov. Sarah Palin’s private Yahoo e-mail account. The incriminating discussion threads included screenshots of Palin’s e-mail and private e-mail addresses of her contacts. The threads have since been deleted. Hacking e-mail is a federal crime. A TV anchor who broke into his colleague’s e-mail account recently pleaded guilty and faces a maximum five years in prison. The law will catch up to the hackers, but what about the lowlifes who are now gleefully splashing the alleged contents of Palin’s private e-mail account...

This afternoon, I mentioned an infamous group of hackers whose Internet bulletin board was the gathering place for those who bragged about and publicized the Sarah Palin private e-mail hacking. A tech-savvy reader who monitors the hackers’ site e-mailed me a detailed explanation of how it went down, who was responsible, and how someone with a conscience warned a friend of the Palin family of the crime (language warning):

The news was seized upon by the Conservatives who described the mismanagement of prisons by Labour as "ludicrous". Shadow...

If I was a gambler, my money would be on Hillary Clinton being the guilty party in this one and I am seriously wondering if Sandy “The Burglar” Berger may have been spotted lurking around Davenport, Iowa. After all, he was convicted and disbarred for STEALING important Security documents from the National Archive to protect and cover up for the Clinton’s appalling approach to national security and their irresponsible defence of Americans from Islamic Terrorism during the 1990’s. DAVENPORT, Iowa The Davenport, Iowa, campaign headquarters for presidential candidate Barack Obama was burglarized Friday evening. Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor says two...

A burglar plunged through the false ceiling of a SuperAmerica store in downtown Minneapolis early Wednesday morning, showering the floor with insulation and ceiling tiles and startling a store employee who was cleaning up, police said. The man then tried to climb out through the ceiling but became entangled in wires. "When the police come in, he's dangling from the ceiling," said Lt. Michael Kjos. "He might not have been thinking real clearly at the time." Willie Nelson, 24, of north Minneapolis, later told investigators that he was hungry, according to police.

Foxes, Henhouses and Democratsby Daniel Sargis13 October 2004A series of seemingly unrelated incidents at geographically scattered Republican campaign headquarters is starting to form a curious pattern.   To borrow a phrase from that esteemed defender of civil rights, Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), I am “deeply concerned that the right of U.S. citizens to vote in free and fair elections is again in jeopardy.”  As you may remember, Johnson and twelve other Congressional Democratic co-conspirators requested that the United Nations monitor this November’s U.S. elections.  Instead of 100 international “observers,” Johnson should have called out the troops from the...

CANTON — Someone smashed a window Sunday night at the Victory Center for Bush-Cheney offices, then ran after grabbing a purse, a laptop computer carrying case and a portable radio. Bush-Cheney campaign officials have added the local break-in to a laundry list of criminal activities outside Republican Party offices around the country. Former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot, Bush-Cheney ’04 campaign chairman, mentions the Sunday night break-in at 115 Dewalt Ave. NW in a letter to AFL-CIO President John Sweeney. Racicot complains about a series of incidents in recent weeks and asks Sweeney to “put an end to protest activities that...

At the Phone Bank for Bush we are locking all doors as people go in and out for security and protection. Yesterday in Orlando, Kerry Union People, broke in full daylight and assaulted a Bush worker in a Bush center. He had a fractured arm. If this situation was reversed, the wounded victim would be on with Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer, Wolf Blitzer and Chris Matthews, etc. ALL DAY LONG. First they shoot up an office then they fracture an arm. Does this sound like Nazism to you? Are you scared yet by the level of hatred and reprehensible limits...

The Washington state headquarters for the president's re-election campaign was broken into last night, and police are investigating the theft of three computers from the Bellevue office. Missing are the computers used by the campaign's executive director, the head of the get-out-the-vote effort and one that had been set for delivery to the campaign's Southwest Washington field director, said Jon Seaton, executive director of the state's George W. Bush campaign. Seaton said data on the computers was backed up and available elsewhere. But, he said, the loss creates a potential security breach about the campaign's so-called 72-hour plan, the Bush...

BOSTON - When a young John Kerry launched his first election campaign in 1972, he tapped his 21-year-old brother, Cameron, to serve as his political director. More than three decades later, the soon-to-be Democratic presidential nominee — now surrounded by a cadre of high-paid, high-powered political professionals — still relies heavily upon his little brother as a top adviser, fund-raiser, sounding board and confidant. Over the past two years, the Massachusetts senator has consulted with Cameron before making the most monumental decisions of his presidential quest: how to vote on the Iraq war resolution, whether to fire the manager of...
