Politics & Government - 3 November 2007

A woman I know rather well was involved in a horrible crime. There is pleanty of evidence--including witnesses--against her. Among the charges are posession of illegal drugs, complicity to child abuse (last I heard, they upped it to 1st dgr. criminal abuse), selling illegal drugs, bringing drugs across state lines, you get the picture.

The crimes took place in her home-county (in KY), she was held in the county jail, and the pre-trial and custody hearing took place there as well. Now she's trying to get it moved to another county an hour away for who-knows-why.

There has been little media coverage of the case, so there's been nothing in the paper/news since it happened, and she hasn't even lived in this county since she was bailed out a month or so ago. And travel costs and transportation are NOT an issue for her.

What circumstances would allow her to move the trial?

It's supposed to be a jury trial, but I don't know if that would affect anything or not...

Ok, I kinda feel like this might be a dumb ? and I am going to ask my recruiter on monday but i was just wondering if anybody knew if there is some type of exception so that u wont be sent to Iraq because youve already lost a family memeber over there. my bro was killed in iraq last yr he was in the army im thinking about joining the air force. It may sound dumb after that loss but its just in my blood--Great Grandpa-army, grandpa-army, mom-army, oldest brother-marines, older brother- army. I am the youngest and i feel as though its my turn to serve our country. My question is will they still deploy me to iraq knowing my brother was killed there?????
NO STUPID ANSWERS PLEASE!

Examples:

LIE: President Clinton was offered Osama, but turned down the offer.
LIE: John Kerry faked his war wounds.
TRUTH: Bush avoided Vietnam service and then went AWOL.
TRUTH: Bush and Cheney were both convicted drunk drivers.
TRUTH: Cheney avoided Vietnam draft with FIVE deferments.

The lies have become conventional wisdom in the media and the truths are ignored.

WHAT IS GOING ON???

Keep in mind that the estimates of casualties in the Iraq war range as high as 1.2 million. Without Bush, there would have been no Iraq war.

where he is? I wonder if anyone has ever used that loophole in the law to avoid a deportation. Like let's say for example a woman in another country meets an American tourist and has a brief fling with him and then the guy leaves. A couple of months later she finds out she's pregnant, but the guy is long gone so she doesn't put him on the birth certificate. She has the baby and that baby grows up. Then one day they move to the US and they have green cards and are permanent legal residents. A few years go by and the son gets in trouble with the law and goes to prison for a few of years...as he is getting ready to be released Immigration notifies him that he is getting deported, but then he tells them that he can't be deported because he's a citizen because his dad was one and American law says that any child born to at least one US citizen parent is a US citizen regardless of where that child was born... anyway you get the picture..so has that ever happened before?

Do you think that someone who thinks about molesting a girl, even almost goes through with it should be arrested?

This is where Conservatives like Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and the rest show their pure evil; they know that most South American and Mexican immigrants face poverty and homelessness if they stay in their home countries, yet they pretend that these immigrants are coming here for other reasons, like toppling 'white Christians' from power and other claptrap. Stop blaming the victims, conservatives, and instead condemn totalitarian governments that force their poor to flee.

The way the divide between rich and poor is growing in this country, Americans may have to start emigrating to Canada and Western Europe ourselves to avoid penury.

Impeach Bush and Cheney now!

When I put in my two weeks notice, the management where I work started treating me badly, so I am quitting sooner. I am afraid they will try and hold my last check. Can they legally do that?

I know some of your remember that I mentioned how I supported Bush and the war. I made my user name based on that. I am so sad and I regret every day for spporting and trusting Bush. We all got fooled and I am so sorry for ever voting for Bush.

I lost my brother in Iraq over 2 years ago. I hope none of you ever experience what I have gone through. Please I beg you all to save the lives of your loved ones and bring them home. You can support them only when they are alive.

It is so sad and I fal into tears when I think of my brave and proud brother. PLease do no let your loved ones get seriosly injured or worse. I too spported all of it. Now I regret it and know my brother died in vain for this lie of a war. Please for the love of your family and friends keep them safe before it's too late.

You can't support them when they are gone.


I am so sorry. i miss my brother. we all miss our loved ones. I beg all of you to stop this war lie.

I am so sorry.

This video shows a picture of suspected killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, standing at the doorway, of the Book Depository building, when Pres. J.F.K.'s motorcade drove by. How could he have done the shooting, from the window, if he was at the doorway? See time = 02:24.

The video also shows the Limousine driver, Secret Service Man, William Greer, turning around and pointing a shiny object at Pres. J.F.K. just as he received the fatal wound to the head. It then shows Jacky trying to leave the limo only to be escorted back on by another Secret Service man. See time = 05:36.
