News & Events - October 2006

Hypothetically, suppose you're a journalist who used to work for a congressman, whom we'll call Congressman #1. Then suppose that, in the course of your work, you came across a staff member of Congressman #1's rival in the upcoming elections, whom we'll call Congressman #2.

Suppose this staff member of Congressman #2 (for some inscrutable reason) told you about a fascinating legal matter that could affect the election--say, a past conviction this Congressman #2 tried to bury.

What would you do? As a former staff member for Congressman #1, there's a definite perception of bias on your part.

But suppose it's a really pertinent piece of information...

Related to the story on Reuters: Oddly Enough regarding a woman in solitary confinement in Vietnam getting pregnant somehow. She's due to face the firing squad soon and a friend of mine told me you can choose that in the US. Trying to verify.

mayor bloomberg was quoted as saying "i have no idea how a plane could be flying down 79th street, but that's for the investigation to determine"

it's lucky nobody in the building was injured or killed.

NEW YORK - President Bush says he doesn't believe it. Some experts have a problem with it. But several others say it seems sound. Such was the varied reception for a controversial new study that estimated the Iraq war has led to the deaths of nearly 655,000 Iraqis as of July.

I see people not from the US bashing on those who are -
Not all of us are bad. Every country has thei bad apples and good apples. You'd know that if you weren't so quick to judge.

I see armed officers of the law killing people unjustfully - They do it to release their anger, or just to get away with something a citizen off the street could not.

I see people having sex with their animals and thinking it's ok - That's why there are other animals of that spieces. That's also why we have psychiatrists.

I see an idiot 'leading' the US....to certain death, that is - I haven't done anything wrong. I don't want to die because of some as*hole thinking he knows everything.

I recall the actual news films that they showed when TV became available. It showed dead cattle strewn all over the place. They claim they were victims of contamination from the Weather Balloon. The Army had closed off the area to the public because of the so-called contamination.. Years later I thought," Who grazes cattle in a desert, where there is no grass or water?" "Something's wrong with this picture". Could the government have lied to us or is that unheard of?

Does anybody have any info about how to raise money to help the family with the funeral. they have to come up with it upfront. they can pay it back soon.

Herman Carroll was 31 years old (would've been 32 October 21) when he was walking in the neighborhood he lived in with his two sisters. both sisters have homes two streets apart. He was walking home from the store and was taking a breather by some neighborhood mailboxes when a Harris County Sheriff's deputy spotted him and thought he was trying to break into the damaged mailboxes. When the officer tried to question him Herman began walking not thinking he was doing any wrong...he hadn't broken any law...he walked into his older sister's home and the officer followed, already calling for backup. They followed him into his home grabbed him and a struggle began. Herman tried to get them off and they tasered him, when that didn't calm him down they beat him with a baton upside the head and then tasered him again. How could he win??

Because my husband is on the board of the village that we live in, I have been elected to do the monthly newsletter. It will be the local news from our village, baby births, new neighbors, crime rate statistics, maybe a recipe... just news from the neighbors. I need a name. The village is HARBOUR VILLAGE. Please help me come up with some type of catchy name.

APN.Korea threatens Japan over sanctions
AP - 1 hour, 9 minutes ago
TOKYO - A North Korea official threatened "strong countermeasures" against Japan if it goes ahead with new sanctions against the communist regime, Kyodo News agency reported from Pyongyang on Thursday.

The underground test reportedly took place in Gilju in Hamgyong province at 1036 (0136 GMT). Russia is the only country to have confirmed that it was a nuclear explosion.

US President George W Bush has said North Korea will face "serious repercussions" over its claim to have carried out a nuclear test.

Mr Bush said Washington was working to confirm the claim, but would increase its co-operation with allies on ballistic weapons defence systems.

Earlier, North Korea's second most powerful leader threatened more tests if the US remained "hostile", in the first comments from a senior North Korean official since the claimed nuclear test on Monday.
