It seems he asked for an attorney, but the police didn't get him one and kept on questioning him. Jury may not hear Couey's claims Officers say he admitted killing Jessica Lunsford, but a possible misstep could keep it out of court .
Surveillance videos show that he was only running for a train as anyone might do. He was not wearing inappropriate clothing.
A TIME investigation reveals discrepancies in the FEMA chief's official biographies By DAREN FONDA AND RITA HEALY Posted Thursday, Sep. 08, 2005 When President Bush nominated Michael Brown to head the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in 2003, Brown's boss at the time, Joe Allbaugh, declared, "the President couldn't have chosen a better man to help...prepare and protect the nation." But how well was he prepared for the job? Since Hurricane Katrina, the FEMA director has come u...
And nuts to you, Mr. Robertson, You think Jesus loves you more than we could know. No, no, no. Up yours please, Mr. Robertson, Heaven holds no place for those who say pray for pay. Hey, hey, hey. We'd like to know what it is that makes you think the way you do. We'd like to help you learn to be more sane. Look around you, all you see are people just like you. Stroll around the town until you see the pain. And nuts to you, Mr. Robertson, You think Jesus loves you more than we coul...
A 17 year-old girl was posing for her high school graduation pictures with a Siberian tiger when the animal turned and attacked her. The handler was restraining it. She was pronounded dead at the scene. Officials are investigating the cause. The cause? Well, let's see. Could it be............stupidity? It was a family-run animal sancutary. Not even an actual zoo. IT'S A FRICKIN' WILD ANIMAL, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! A PREDATOR! A MEAT EATER! THEY CAN NOT BE TAMED! It's really a shame t...
Watching the TV coverage of the Israeli pullout from Gaza, I'm amazed that some of those people are putting up such a fight just because they have to move. Screaming and kicking, they have phony outrage. Boo hoo. Poor babies. Playing to the cameras, they want their 15 minutes of fame. 2/3 of the settlers have already left willingly and peacefully. Those who are refusing to leave are just assholes.
In the last couple of days, there's been a news report and video showing fathers fighting at a pee-wee football game. The kids are 5 and 6 years old. The talking heads say things like, "What kind of message does it send to the kids? It tells them that violence is the way to solve problems." Football is a violent sport. WTF do they expect? People get worked up. It seems kind of hypocritcal to me to criticize violence in a violent sport. I know none of the kids were fighting, but when older ...
There's no mention of the religiousness of the complaintants, but what other reason could there be? Damn Nazis.

NEW YORK - Conservative pundit Ann Coulter was front page news Wednesday for what she's written about some 9/11 widows: "These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities," writes Coulter. She's also under fire for what she said Tuesday in an interview with the "Today" show's Matt Lauer. "If you lose a husband, you no longer have the right to have a political point of view?" asked Lauer. "No, but don't use the fact t...
This morning on CNN, they asked viewers to email their opinions to the question: "Should there be a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage?" One of the replies said, "People who want to ban gay marriage say it's to protect families and children. I would believe them if there was a ban on rapists, child molesters and wife beaters getting married." Excellent point. On a side note, marriage is not a right. It's a privilege. That's why a license is required.

The airman was a passenger in a car that was chased by the police officer. Maybe the chase should have been called off.
A British woman has married a dolphin. The dolphin's name is Cindy, but the woman seems to think (or wants to believe) that it's male. Till death do us part?

The recent shooting of three black men in Queens, New York by five cops has ignited outrage from the families and community leaders. Leo Terrell (I'm not sure about that last name) was on MSNBC this morning, and man, was he pissed, and rightly so. Here are two of his comments: "Every time black people are shot by police, somehow it's always justified." "Prosecutors need police, so they don't prosecute police." Mayor Bloomberg has called the use of force "excessive." It's been repo...
