DENVER -- President Barack Obama specifically profiled the plight of a Colorado woman failed by the health care system in Wednesday night's nationally televised address. But when 7NEWS started asking basic questions such as where is she from and what is her name, the administration that prides itself on being transparent wouldn't say a word. In Wednesday night's speech, Obama said, "This is about the woman in Colorado who paid $700 a month to her insurance company, only to find out that they wouldn't pay a dime for her cancer treatment, who had to use up her retirement funds to...

NEW YORK – A New York City teenager has admitted that she failed to let a kitten out of an oven after a friend put the animal inside and left it to roast to death. After pleading guilty to charges of animal cruelty and attempted burglary on Wednesday, 17-year-old Cheyenne Cherry confronted a row of animal activists outside the courtroom. Cherry stuck out her tongue and told the activists that the kitten named Tiger Lily was "dead."

If you’re like most asinine leftists, you’ve probably been a long time advocate of “Universal Healthcare” without ever having had the opportunity to experience the crappy, decrepit system first-hand… Well here’s your chance… And you better hold on tight, Buttercup, because it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

There is a vicious coordinated effort to slander Jordan Chandler by Michael Jackson fans. They are claiming he has admitted to lying about Jackson molesting him, and only did so over the guilt of his death. It is NOT true. Do a Google search for “Jordan Chandler admits he lied” and see what you get. Page after page after page of posts rehashing the same exact story that Jordan Chandler has admitted that Michael Jackson was innocent, and never assaulted him as a child.

I can't believe what a blatant pro-communist piece of agitprop propaganda. Moore exploited victims of 9/11 to paint a rosy face on Cuba's healthcare system, amongst other socialized schemes. In Moore's world, all "profits" are evil and constantly hit on the "we're all in this together" theme, meaning we are obligated to pay for everyone's "free" healthcare. A question for Michael Moore: who is going to pay to develop brand new drugs when healthcare is "free"? Who is going to pay for multimillion dollar new MRI machines? Who is going to pay for doctors to spend a quarter of a...

Cheyenne Cherry tossed her ex-roommate's kitty, Tiger Lily (below), into the stove, then left so she didn't have to hear the cat's anguished cries. A Bronx teenager roasted her ex-roommate's kitten to death in a stove - then brushed off the incident as a joke when she was busted, authorities said Thursday. "I hate cats," Cheyenne Cherry, 17, allegedly told investigators when asked about the heartless crime. Cherry's confession came after she was arrested Wednesday by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. She and an unidentified juvenile allegedly broke into Valerie Hernandez's Tinton Ave. apartment on...

A teenager accused of burning her ex-roommate's cat alive in an oven is already facing charges over allegations she kidnapped a dog. Cheyenne Cherry, a 17-year-old from the Bronx in New York, is accused of putting kitten Tiger Lily into an oven and cooking it, the New York Daily News reports. It's now been revealed Cherry's boyfriend stole a dog from a woman in a Bronx park last June after placing a BB gun to her forehead. Cherry then attempted to claim a US$500 (A$630) reward by sending a friend to give the dog back to its owner. "She's evil,"...

Lockhart, United States Attorney, Southern District of Ohio, announce that Marc Norman Greenberg, age 32 of Centerville, Ohio, was arrested without incident this morning at his law office in Kettering by FBI agents.

Greenberg is the Girls Basketball Coach at Chaminade-Julienne High School in Dayton. The complaint...

If the Obama administration has taken flak for suggesting that conservative groups might be home to domestic terrorists, it looks like some House Democrat leaders are willing to go even further: But in an interview on Fox TV in San Francisco, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) chalked up the GOP grass-roots effort as “AstroTurf.” “This initiative is funded by the high end; we call it AstroTurf, it's not really a grass-roots movement. It's AstroTurf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class,” Pelosi said....

WILKES-BARRE – Harlow Cuadra slumped in his chair when he heard the jury foreperson say “guilty,” convicting him for the brutal slaying of Bryan Kocis in January 2007. The verdict, which came after more than three hours of deliberation on Thursday, carries 12 convictions, including first-degree homicide. The jury will return today to determine whether Cuadra, 27, should be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison. Cuadra showed little emotion other than slumping in the chair. He appeared withdrawn and said nothing when escorted out of the Luzerne County Courthouse about an hour after the...

Woman Admits Dancing, Waving Wand, Throwing FlowersLAURENS COUNTY, S,C. -- A woman who says she had no connection to a funeral danced in front of the service, waved a wand over the casket, opened it and touched the deceased man and then threw the flowers from the casket at the family, deputies said. Laurens County deputies responded to reports of a disturbance at the Church of God in Gray Court on Tuesday. Those attending the funeral said that the woman had joined the procession. They said once they were seated inside the church, the woman then danced in front of...

LONDON (Reuters) - A widely available blood pressure pill could one day help people erase bad memories, perhaps treating some anxiety disorders and phobias, according to a Dutch study published on Sunday. The generic beta-blocker propranolol significantly weakened people's fearful memories of spiders among a group of healthy volunteers who took it, said Merel Kindt, a psychologist at the University of Amsterdam, who led the study. "We could show that the fear response went away, which suggests the memory was weakened," Kindt said in a telephone interview.

(video of gushing love with article) Not since Chris Mathews told us of the tingling sensation he gets up his leg when he hears Obama speak, has he shown off his Obama mancrush with such affection and enchantment as he did last night. If only he'd held back until this Saturday, Valentines Day, it would have been perfect. During a special edition of Countdown, MSNBC's Chris Matthews poured his heart out to Barack. He said that he was "very impressed with [Obama's] amazing ability," and told us that his guy was "at his best intellectually." But, he really showed his...

Nov 24, 2008 8:41 pm US/Pacific Woman Getting Death Threats After Euthanizing Dog Reporting Koula Gianulias LODI (CBS13) ― A Lodi woman says she's getting death threats after adopting and euthanizing a dog she called dangerous. Despite 10 celebrated years of animal activism, rescue volunteer Jill Morgan is afraid to show her face on television. "I had one person want to take me out and shoot me," she said. "Another person says my kids should be taken away from me." Morgan is being targeted because she euthanized Buddy, a golden retriever. She says two experts called the dog "aggressive" and...

We all know the potential horrors if Socialized Medicine were ever made a reality in this country, but to someone who only sees the good, and none of the bad, it is difficult for them to see the truth. In my discussion with a liberal friend I was having difficulty describing a parallel. We all can provide stories of long wait times, and lack of care experienced in other countries, but the answer always seems to be, "America will do it better". My point is that when a person has no responsibility to bear the costs of healthcare, he will...

“We now face an opportunity — and an obligation — to turn the page on the failed politics of yesterday's health care debates… My plan begins by covering every American. If you already have health insurance, the only thing that will change for you under this plan is the amount of money you will spend on premiums. That will be less. If you are one of the 45 million Americans who don't have health insurance, you will have it after this plan becomes law. No one will be turned away because of a preexisting condition or illness.” — Barack Obama,...

The real purpose of the film - or any of Michael Moore's flicks - becomes apparent whenever he is pressed on the accuracy of the information that floods his work. You've never seen a fat man move so quickly, backpedalling from the 'documentary' label when questioned.....

I had trouble believing my eyes a little while ago. Rep. Boehner and several other top Repubs came before the cameras looking like whipped dogs. They have folded and will support the Pelosi-Reid bail-out plan with several revisions. Boehner did give credit to John McCain for helping not make the plan even worse. Boehner said that individual Repubs would have to use their own consciences about voting for or against the plan. This sad spectacle followed Reid-Pelosi-Schumer-Frank standing before the cameras like conquering heros, smiling and waving to a fawning, drooling press as they described how the Dems have saved...
