News & Events - October 2007

Honestly, have any of the majo news networks (NBC, ET, Access Hollywood, Headline News, Nancy Grace, etc.) made any mention of the founder of the AIM's (American Indian Movement) passing? I have not seen anything. Did anyone make any acknowledgement of it?

Gast tried to turn himself in 8 years ago, but prison officials said they didn't have the paperwork on his case, Abeln said.

"They had no record of him," Abeln said. "So he got turned away."



He received a notice in July that prosecutors wanted to send him to jail, in what Cumberland County President Judge Edgar B. Bayley called "the lost case."

I find this story expecially scary because of my criminal record...
Most offenses are misdemeanors, but when I failed to appear at court for about...5 arrests...that becomes a felony.twice I received "Warrent for my arrest" letters in the mail. The letter had my last name spelled wrong and had my birthday listed wrong.

Since then I have gotten my ID' checked by the police....and they let me go. Iv'e even gone to court and they said "we have no record of you"....I'm scared it might pop up in the future...

If you recall, the reason given for the US invading Iraq was because the US thought Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction. I don't agree with going into Iraq and I feel like we were deceived about the 'weapons of mass destruction' that never surfaced BUT I DO KNOW THAT GOING INTO IRAQ WAS NOT RETALIATION FOR BIN LADIN'S ATTACK ON THE US ON 9/11.

So why do so many people think 9/11 and the invasion into Iraq are related?

I have lived in Kansas all my life. Both Rural and Metro areas in my 35 years. I was ashamed and embarassed that someone as close minded and ignorant as Brownback was taking a national stage, representing my state. The good news is that this country wont have to listen to his mindless dribble for an entire year. The bad news is, if your living in Kansas you have to accept the fact that this idiot may be here for a while. I just wanted to let the rest of the world know that this mans ideas of moral values do not reflect the majority of Kansans. How did he get elected anyway? It bothers me when politicians use their position to impose their values ON the people they are supposed to represent and not the the values OF the people they represent. (George W. ) any comments?

Watch out for this scam

READ CAREFULLY!

I dont know if you shop at Sam's Club or Costco, but this is
how I became a victim of a clever scam while out
shopping. This happened to me and it could happen to you!!

Here's how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking 23-year-old well-built cowboy type guys come over to your car as you are packing your shopping in the trunk. They both are shirtless and start wiping your windshield with a rag and
Windex with their highly-defined chest muscles and rock-hard abs exposed. It's impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to another
Sam's Club or Costco. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start talking dirty about what they want to do to you. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and begins kissing your neck and begs you to pull over so he can make love to you!! While this is going, on the other guy steals your purse!!

I had my purse stolen last Tuesday, Wednesday, twice on Thursday,again on Saturday, and also yesterday and most likely tomorrow...

Here was my test: If you post on their blogs that Bush is a chimp and the world hates America and we should let illegals have free health care, and Christians are all crazy, then they allow it. If you post that you believe in Jesus and that you think marriage should remain traditional and you think we should guard our borders, they DELETE IT. They have these monitors who are liberal nutcases, who obviously are doing what they're told to do, and it misrepresents the opinions of Americans on their blogs (so-called).
I don't think ABC deserves the term "American" in their title!

I mean she is always getting into lots of trouble but if she didn't have tons of paparazzi bothering her everday she would feel more relaxed. I feel like she needs to go somewhere out of the US and relax. I mean the pressure of being famous and chased around everyday can be hard. If we were in her shoes we probably would of done the same things. I am tired of all the news reports about her but hey how would they ever stop. Those news reporter will do anything these days for good ratings.

$90 dollars, shouldn't gas be higher already?

I'm living in a place now that it's almost an island and depends mostly on tourists_most of which have already left for the season, and businesses seem to be waiting for the other tourists, the older ones that seem to come here this time of year, to start showing up. And this is only explanation I can find for how low gas is in this area...I recall when first I moved here less than four months ago, there was great disparity in prices between this place and rest of the county.

I got to see almost 50 cents more per gallon in a couple of gas stations! So seeing it now between $2.95 and $3.25, I wonder how low it could be in other parts of county and around the country in general!

Religion is a poor substitute for common sense, since it opens up a bigger question than it answers. If you are going to argue that God always was, you might as well argue that people always were. Neither argument makes any sense, does it?

Americans objectify their women. Women r led to believe their worth is based on looks, playboy covers and not on character and intelligence. Is it a false sense of freedom when they say women can choose...yet....American females starve themselves(BY CHOICE?) to death and engage in self destructive behavior, promiscuity etc.

Americans wont even let a woman be President. Are you telling me that over 200 years of freedom and not 1 female was good enough to be president in this free country????
Even Muslim countries have had a female Prime Minister.
Even third world countries have had female Presidents.

And you can say Muslims treat their women badly blblblblblalbalbala. But does that negate the hypocritical attitude Americans have on women? False sense of freedom. Americans are just as bad as the Muslims they hate.
For those saying I'm stereotyping Americans...do YOU stereotype Muslims??
