Here is raw video of the decision by the House of Representatives to admonish GOP Rep. Joe Wilson for his "You Lie" outburst during President Obama's Health Care Speech last week. This video shows Joe Wilson speaking prior to the vote, followed by John Boehner calling the resolution a "partisan stunt." The final vote was 240-179 to admonish Wilson. . . (VIDEO)

LUCASVILLE, Ohio — Gov. Ted Strickland ordered a weeklong reprieve for a condemned inmate on Tuesday after the Ohio execution team had problems finding usable veins for the lethal injection process. Executioners were unable for more than two hours to find veins that would accept fluid from an IV without collapsing for 53-year-old Romell Broom, who was sentenced to die for the rape and slaying of a 14-year-old Tryna Middleton in 1984.

House Votes to Discipline Wilson for Outburst The House of Representatives, on the heels of an impassioned and lively debate, voted Tuesday to formally admonish Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., for accusing the president of lying during a joint session of Congress a week ago. The vote was 240-179. Five lawmakers voted "present." Ahead of the tally, lawmakers hurled an arsenal of accusations at each other over the issue, with Republicans calling the effort a "partisan stunt" and Democrats stepping up their condemnation of Wilson's original offense. The decision to punish him on the floor of the House was made even...

DENVER -- The massive FBI probe that triggered raids in New York City is focused on a potential Denver-based terror cell plotting another attack on the scale of 9/11, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday. CALL7 Investigators have learned that the Governor's office of Homeland Security has been involved in the investigation and believe there is no imminent threat in Colorado. (snip) A law enforcement source told CALL7 Investigators that the investigation has been going on for two weeks. A Denver area man, detained and then released Monday in connection with the New York City terrorism raids, had recently...

"I in my life have been abused, also. I mean just with an ex‑husband, a husband, you know, that just beat the hell out of me, you know, a few times and then, you know, I killed him."

A fourth video by an independent filmmaker posing as a pimp along with a purported prostitute has surfaced depicting an ACORN staffer in California assisting the couple in their quest to obtain housing for their illegal sex business. Much like in their previous undercover stings at the group's offices in Baltimore, Washington and Brooklyn, N.Y., filmmaker James O'Keefe, 25, and his 20-year-old partner Hannah Giles, who posed as a prostitute named "Eden," were given assistance on Aug. 17 from a staffer at ACORN's office in San Bernardino on how to avoid detection by law enforcement. The couple even tell ACORN...

Kudlow just gave a teaser for "ACORN gets Cracked" - a report on the ACORN voter registration fraud and prostitution sting and $53 million in tax money. I'll post when that segment comes on.

I'm listening to Hugh Hewitt right now. I like his show, or I wouldn't listen. But can't the guy do a segment without a guest? SHEESH!!!

Joe Wilson may have paved the way to send former Gov. Michael Dukakis to Washington—in time to vote for health-care reform from Ted Kennedy’s seat, influential Massachusetts Democrats tell The Daily Beast. Rep. Joe Wilson’s loss of self-control during President Barack Obama’s address to Congress could give Senate Democrats a crucial 60th vote as they try to block Republican filibusters this fall. Wilson’s outburst has moved Democrats in the Massachusetts legislature closer to fulfilling Senator Ted Kennedy’s dying wish—to change state law on how his empty seat would be filled. And that could well put Michael Dukakis in the Senate....

Service of Reconciliation Marks ELCA Decisions on Same-Gender Relationships 09-199-FI CHICAGO (ELCA) -- A Saturday afternoon "Service of Reconciliation" drew about 150 people to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Charlotte, N.C. The special Sept. 12 worship brought together those who welcomed and those who were troubled by recent decisions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Voting members at the August 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly in Minneapolis approved a series of proposals to change the denomination's ministry policies, including a policy to allow Lutherans in lifelong, monogamous, same-gender relationships to serve as ELCA associates in ministry, clergy, deaconesses and diaconal...

It doesn’t matter what side of the debate you are on. One thing is becoming clear, and that is that Mark Williams, along with the racist sign holders during protests (and I mean the ones with the actual racist signs, not the protesters in general) are not coming off well. Mark Williams was on the panel of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360″, and he didn’t come off looking very good. Not only did he contradict a number of his own points, but he stumbled through the interview, and was actually openly laughed at by the other panelists. It is a trend...

Each month, when I face an auditorium full of engaged couples preparing for a Catholic marriage, there is a Q-and-A session. It is the interesting, unrehearsed part of the evening. The couples write their queries on a piece of paper, and the anonymity guarantees at least a few hardball questions about the Church and its practices. "What about Galileo?" is among my favorites, along with inquisitive notes about Torquemada. But the majority of these "zingers" turn out to be protests about the Church's rule of clerical celibacy. "You've told us how wonderful marriage is, that it's a great good...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- The U.S. military can pull most of its troops from Afghanistan in the next year as "victory" is not a realistic outcome, a report by the Cato Institute says. Malou Innocent and Ted Galen Carpenter in an authoritative report on the conflict in Afghanistan note that "a definitive, conventional 'victory' is not a realistic option." Washington said its strategy in Afghanistan is focused in part on denying al-Qaida and other militants the opportunity to establish a safe haven in the embattled nation. The authors, however, opine that denying a sanctuary to terrorists does not require...

A participant in German swine flu vaccine trials has come forward with startling allegations that he experienced serious adverse side effects after taking the swine flu vaccine - including coughing up blood. German medical researcher Frank von Sonnenburg, who is in charge of the swine flu vaccine trials there does not believe that Axel's account is credible. He told the German publication doing the story that Axel's symptoms could not possibly be related to the vaccine. Axel, however, insists that what happened to him was most definitely a result of taking the vaccine: "Surely it is no coincidence that they...
