Teen idol Justin Bieber is wanted for questioning by Los Angeles County Sheriff's investigators - after a paparazzo complained of being roughed up by the young pop star at a shopping center. The scuffle allegedly happened when the photographer tried to snap pictures of the 18-year-old and his girlfriend Selena Gomez, after they walked out of a theater at The Commons at Calabasas today. Sheriff Lt. Robert Wiard says the photographer in question called 911 on Sunday and complained of pain to his chest.

Like huge cows, the mighty sauropods would have generated enormous quantities of methane. Sauropods, recognisable by their long necks and tails, were widespread around 150 million years ago. They included some of the largest animals to walk the Earth, such as Diplodocus, which measured 150 feet and weighed up to 45 tonnes. <---Snip

Detectives with the Narcotic Vice Squad in Nassau County were investigating Catherine Scalia, 45, of East Rockaway, and became aware she was offering up more than kraut and relish from her hot dog cart on Sunrise Highway in Baldwin, according to police. Scalia was arrested Thursday after authorities said she offered to engage in sexual conduct at her home with an undercover detective in return for money. The undercover officer bought two hot dogs and noticed suggestive business cards offering services you don’t usually get from a food vendor, CBS 2′s Carol Gusoff reported.

President Obama recounts an anecdote about the 2004 Democratic National Convention at White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs' final press briefing:"The most challenging problem was what tie to wear. And this went up to the very last minute I mean, 10 minutes before we were about to go on stage we were still having an argument about ties. I had bought five, six ties. And Michelle didn't like any of them, Axelrod didn't like a couple of them -- him being one of the best dressed men in the world. So we really valued his opinion."And then somebody -- I...

Are you a sinner? Don't worry, there's an app for that. The Roman Catholic Church has approved a recent iTunes addition called Confession, a $1.99 app that bills itself as "the perfect aid for every penitent." As you can see above, it lets you pick a commandment and tick off all your sins, keeping a running tally to bring into the confessional with you -- a sort of anti-tasklist, if you will. Can't find your particular misstep? No problem! You're able to add your own, custom dastardly deeds, filling in those gaps the app's authors didn't think anyone would fill....

This past week, Chairman Hu Jintao came to Washington, DC and was given a most lavish welcome by president Obama. This excerpt from an article outlines the stark contrast between two presidential receptions: The lavish black-tie dinner at the White House on Wednesday night contrasts with George Bush’s workmanlike lunch in 2006. According to Chinese media reports at the time, Hu, saw Bush’s arrangements as insulting. Bush was unwilling to host a state dinner in part because he was conscious of US public concern over China’s human rights record. The picture below also shows the Chinese flag at the same...

Okay, Just found this video on Daily Beck. Now, OKAY yes, Glenn is not my favorite man, but I am a black conservative and I keep an open mind. So, how refreshing is it to see a 15 year old girl getting into politics in a world where MTV is currently featuring young girls and boys engaged in orgies? VERY. Please, whether you like Beck or not- check this video out and show your support for a girl who is trying to 'think outside the box'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6uSzVJfQkY God bless, D. Lawson

<p>When I traveled the world representing the United States during the George W. Bush administration, I was often confronted by people who wanted to blame the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, on American foreign policy.</p> <p>U.S. support for Israel, along with the suffering of the Palestinian people, they told me, had spawned the resentment and anger that resulted in the attacks on our country.</p>

This is a cool video of last second buzzer beating basket by Austin Groff. He is a guard for the Twin Valley South high school in Ohio. He was trying to move the ball for a final shot along the left perimeter as the final seconds of the championship game's opening period ticked away. Instead, his pass was deflected, sending the ball toward the midcourt line, where Groff tracked it down with his back facing the basket. That's when calls of "shoot it!" started to come from the Twin Valley South sideline. With no time to think, Groff tossed...

In the Galilee region of Northern Israel, a tourist captured this video footage of three horses galloping down the road in the opposite lane in front of them. The scene soon took a bizarre turn however, when a car came towards the horses. The two smaller horses swerved to avoid the vehicle, but the third horse decided to try his equestrian skills by jumping over the car instead. Unfortunately he was a tad bit low on his jump, because the horse leaped straight at the car putting his front legs through the windshield before jumping out and over the roof....

God is quite amazing in that He gives us abilities beyond our own comprehension. Would anyone ever think to even try to use their feet in such a way if they still had arms and hands. It just goes to show how we limit ourselves from reaching our fullest potential. When I see a man like this, or the blind boy who clicked to see his way around by using echolocation, I am truly saddened by the millions of fully capable humans who willingly allow the Socialists to convince them they cannot get by without the governments help.

If you remember the movie, "The Jungle Book", then you must remember the bear called Baloo. Now remember when he sang the song, "The Bear Necessities"? Well during that sequence he started scratching his back on a tree. In this video you have Baloo and a real live black bear mixed together as they both get their backs scratched. It really is funny

What can I say? It's a cat that makes an alligator back down. Talk about balls. Here is the link, Cat Stands His ground Against Alligator

LOUIS C.K.: POPE RAPES BOYS June 17, 2010On last night's Comedy Central program, "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," comedian Louis C.K. concluded his interview by noting there were certain words that he could not utter on his new show on FX. After offering a few examples, he bleated out the following: "I was going to say that the pope f**** boys…." [The obscenity was bleeped.]Here is the response by Catholic League president Bill Donohue:It is a sign of cultural atrophy that so many of today's comedians cannot exhibit humor save by insulting someone or using vulgarities. Louis C.K....
