The Daily Mail reports that the mystery of mass animal death epidemic deepens after 8,000 turtle doves fall dead in Italy with strange blue stain on their beaksBlue stain believed to be sign of poisoning or hypoxia - lack of oxygen that is precursor to altitude sickness
Cold weather and overbreeding blamed for deaths of two 2million fish in Chesapeake Bay
Disease behind deaths of 100,000 fish in Arkansas River
At least nine incidents of mass animal deaths across the globe
Hundreds of confused birds plummeted to their deaths in multiple locations in the U.S.
Rapid movement of Magnetic North Pole towards Russia may have caused bird deaths
Thousands of dead turtle doves rained down on roofs and cars in an Italian town in the latest in a growing spate of mass animal deaths across the globe.
Residents in Faenza described the birds falling to the ground like 'little Christmas balls' with strange blue stains on their beaks.
Initial tests on up to 8,000 of the doves indicated that the blue stain could have been caused by poisoning or hypoxia.
All of a sudden 4 year old photos embarrassing Republican congresswoman Mary Bono Mack pop out of nowhere? Looks to me like desperate Democrat operative are trying to undermine GOPers who want to repeal ObamaCare.
But in any event, Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack apparently likes to get freaky deaky at parties and doesn’t mind getting her boobs slobbed in the process.
RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained the photo which shows the powerful politician in a playful, but compromising position with a campaign donor who is now being investigated by the FBI.
Bono, 49, is a Republican lawmaker representing California's 45th congressional district and sits on the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
She is the widow of Sonny Bono and has been in Congress since 1998.
The woman apparently licking Bono's breast is Edra Blixseth, a disgraced former billionaire who is at the center of a criminal investigation probing whether she made fraudulent representations about her financial worth to a number of banks.
In a scandal set to rock Capitol Hill, adarOnline.com has learned the image was taken at an out-of-control event four-years-ago, at Blixseth's $75 million Porcupine Creek estate in Rancho Mirage, California.
With her head thrown back, Bono's plunging bra is exposed as Blixseth -- who now dates Dallas actor Jack Scalia after splitting from her husband Tim in 2008 -- is seen diving into the politician's cleavage with her tongue out.
"Mary was partying hard," one source, who was at the event, told RadarOnline.com. "She was blitzed and clearly having a great time."
Liberals will always give themselves away without realizing it. For example look at how these 3 Libs demonstrate their disdain for our constitution
To Bill Press’s point about the “right to privacy” being in the constitution.
IT’S A LIE!
Look up the constitution online, copy and paste it to a word document and do a find search, and you won’t find “right of privacy” in it. This is the biggest falsehood liberals have been telling since 1973 that became the cornerstone for the Roe vs Wade decision that has resulted in 50 million abortions and counting in this country.
When two officers arrived at her flat in Chicago she told them she had made up the story and hoped their presence would 'scare' her boyfriend into proposing.
But the officers were unamused and charged the 40-year old with disorderly conduct.
The boyfriend later told police he had not intention of marrying Perez and had been in the process of breaking up with her.
Finally, the nightmare course that President Obama and the Democrats have put America through is stopping dead in its tracks.
Don’t pay attention to the Obama loving mainstream media that are doing their best mislead the public. The reason the Democrats lost The House is due to the fact that the United States is not a European socialist democracy!
The people have spoken and will continue to speak at the ballot box.
Liberalism has put California, Michigan, New Jersey and New York on the brink of insolvency and President Obama was poised to do the same thing for the nation as a whole with his oppressive job killing big government policies.
But, America has awakened from the nightmare and a new day is dawning.
After two years of embracing their status as the "party of no," Republicans say they are ready to take the reins and put new emphasis on cutting government spending and reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy.
"The American people have humbled us. They have refreshed our memories as to just how temporary the privilege to serve is," Boehner said after taking the speaker's gavel. "Hard work and tough decisions will be required of the 112th Congress. No longer can we fall short. No longer can we kick the can down the road. The people voted to end business as usual, and today we begin carrying out their instructions." But as the House got down to business, partisan jabs also returned from a winter break, CBS News Correspondent Nancy Cordes reports.
"Our mission is not to redistribute wealth or tell people how to live their lives," Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor said after officially being installed as majority leader.
All but nine of the 96 new members are Republicans. "My head is somewhat spinning because not 20 minutes ago the new speaker of the House stood where you are and said he was going to be listening to people," Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., said while speaking on the floor.
Boehner received 241 votes from the new House, in which Republicans have a 49-seat majority. Outgoing Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi received 173, and 19 votes were cast for other congressmen. After his election, Boehner walked to the podium with tears in his eyes (as he is wont to do). His colleagues gave him a standing ovation.
Republicans' goal is to "give government back to the people," Boehner said.
An undated portrait of Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens. The word (which this newspaper does not print) appears 219 times. In its place, Twain scholar Alan Gribben of Auburn University is substituting "slave." He's also doing away with a slang term for Indians in the forthcoming edition from NewSouth Books.
"After a number of talks, I was sought out by local teachers, and to a person they said we would love to teach this novel, and Huckleberry Finn, but we feel we can't do it anymore," he told PW. "In the new classroom, it's really not acceptable."
I’m vehemently against this kind of censorship foe a very specific reason. If we as a society allow this kind of absurdity to pass without serious examinations as to its dangers, then we open the door to other words that some fools, aka Liberals, want to target.
The day is coming very soon that words like “Christian” “bible” and even “Jesus” is gonna be offensive to enough stupid people in this country that they’ll try in the name of “sensitivity” and “fairness” to remove them from ever being spoken in public, let alone being able to buy in books containing them.
This man has a fantastic voice and should be working somewhere either on TV or radio. I really wish him well because he’s blessed with wonderful pipes.
CBS News reports to get ready to start hearing about Ted Williams - not the baseball player but the "golden voiced" homeless man about to get a second chance in Columbus, Ohio. Williams, a panhandler near Interstate 71, solicits donations with a sign saying that he's an ex-radio announcer with a "god-given gift" who has fallen on hard times.
A reporter from the Columbus Dispatch spoke to him and the result was an amazing video in which Williams demonstrates his soothing croon and explains how he went from a successful career to panhandling.
God bless you, brother and stay strong and straight in the Lord!
KTSN News reports that the the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers has offered a job to Ted Williams, 53, to do voice-over work and other jobs after a video posted of Williams and his sultry voice surfaced online.
The Columbus Dispatch web site posted the video of Williams giving small snippets of his “golden” voice work. The sign Williams holds reads “I have a God-given gift of a great voice.” The tenor voiced
Williams has received countless offers, including the $10,000 offer for voice-over work.
Williams is a father of seven girls and two boys. Williams was contacted by the Cavaliers on Wednesday, and offered him a position that could include announcing work at Quicken Loans Arena. Williams said the team offered him a two-year contract.
Williams is scheduled to appear on the “Today” show on Thursday.
Officials tells CBS News that Navy Capt. Owen Honors will likely be relieved of duty of the USS Enterprise perhaps as early as Tuesday as the Navy investigates lewd videos he produced aboard the Enterprise.
Videos just coming to light show the crew of the Navy aircraft carrier got an eyeful on shipboard TV: Gay slurs, suggestive shower scenes and mimicked masturbation in clips made not by some sailor run amok but by the ship's second-most powerful officer.
CBS News Correspondent Bob Orr reports that officials said privately that it's very likely Honors will not be on board as the commander of the Enterprise when the ship leaves port later this month. Honors is the star of the videos, made in 2006 and 2007.
He was executive officer - the second in command - when the videos were made. The Navy said Sunday it will investigate the "clearly inappropriate" videos shown through the nuclear-powered ship's closed-circuit television system as part of an onboard movie night.
This is a very poor decision by the Navy that will do more harm than good.
The crew Capt Honors commands overwhelmingly supports their captain! These videos were made to be funny and help ease the stress of serving on an air craft carrier. I don’t see anything inappropriate about these videos.
This is a U.S. warship for God’s sakes, let them let off stream in any way they see fit.
Is the Navy saying Gays and Women are capable of facing bullets and bombs for their country, but crude jokes are too much for them?
Every American should always pay close attention to what happens in Europe. Eventually what starts there has a nasty way of creeping over here especially when Liberals are in charge.
People’s retirement savings are a convenient source of revenue for governments that don’t want to reduce spending or make privatizations. As most pension schemes in Europe are organised by the state, European ministers of finance have a facilitated access to the savings accumulated there, and it is only logical that they try to get a hold of this money for their own ends.
In recent weeks I have noted five such attempts:
Three situations concern private personal savings; two others refer to national funds.
The most striking example is Hungary, where last month the government made the citizens an offer they could not refuse. They could either remit their individual retirement savings to the state, or lose the right to the basic state pension (but still have an obligation to pay contributions for it). In this extortionate way, the government wants to gain control over $14bn of individual retirement savings.
The article goes on to detail other pension grabs in Bulgaria, Poland, France and Ireland. Obviously, this is a cautionary tale for America. If fiscal austerity becomes a real issue in the U.S. the way that it's been reaching critical mass in Europe -- don't think that U.S. lawmakers regard your either your personal wealth or money they might owe you as sacrosanct. Government has a habit of looking out for itself.
CBS News reports that Leon Walker of Rochester Hills, MI says he learned of his wife's affair by reading her e-mail on their computer. Walker faces trial on felony computer misuse charges
What’s the big deal here? Are they suppose to show kids videos on a Navy ship? If were going to have openly gay military, then expect to be openly mocked as well.
The star of the videos, made in 2006 and 2007, is a former Top Gun pilot who now commands the same ship, the Norfolk-based USS Enterprise , which was deployed in the Middle East at the time.
The Virginian-Pilot newspaper reported on the videos in its Saturday editions and posted an edited version of one video on its website. In May, Honors was named commanding officer of the Enterprise. CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reports that the ship is scheduled to depart for the Middle East again in just weeks -- but still in question is whether the ship's top officer will be on board.
The Virginian-Pilot reports that crew members complained about the videos when they were first broadcast, more then three years ago. Those who voiced complaints say they were brushed off. Capt. Owen Honors appeared in the videos while he was the USS Enterprise's executive officer - the second in command - and they aired on the ship's closed-circuit television. Honors took over as the ship's commander in May. It's not immediately known why the videos are surfacing now.
The Virginian-Pilot quoted anonymous crew members who said they raised concerns aboard the ship about the videos when they aired, but they were brushed off. It's clear from the videos that Honors had already gotten complaints when some of them were made.
"Over the years I've gotten several complaints about inappropriate material during these videos, never to me personally but, gutlessly, through other channels," he said in the introduction to the video posted by the newspaper.
Allen West is a breath of fresh air to the GOP and look for him and other Tea Party backed candidates to put pressure on the GOP legacy leaders, aka the Pussies-R-Us club.
I trust the new breed GOP much more than these beltway infected leadership we have now.
Roger Ebert taught me a lot about the fine points of what made a great movie. Watching his show was a must see for movie buffs like myself.
Ravaged by cancer, Ebert refuses to stand down.
CBS News reports that he's been called America's movie critic. For more than four decades, Roger Ebert has guided our choices at the box office. His syndicated newspaper column and trademark "thumbs up/thumbs down" routine with TV partner Gene Siskel were legendary.
But now that famous voice has been silenced. "Do you remember what your last spoken words were?" asked Bowers. "No, because I didn't know they would be my last words, or I would have written something great," Ebert replied.
For the past three years, Ebert has been talking via a computer voice that speaks what he types. His lower jaw is gone, ravaged by cancer that nearly killed him. "Are you able to talk in your dreams?" Bowers asked. "Everything is fine in my dreams. I talk all I want. Life is normal," he said. "Sometimes in a dream I will remember that I can't speak, but then suddenly I can speak again."
Ebert could surely never have dreamed this storyline for his life when he began at the Chicago Sun-Times back in 1967. His elegant style and wit quickly made his movie reviews must-reads.
Sandra Lee is the glamorous, live-in love of Gov. Cuomo - and nobody seems to mind that they're not married.
"The times, they have changed!" said Doug Muzzio, a Baruch College political expert. "Divorce or living together without being married are no longer a big deal. I mean, it's the societal norm."
Though some may still raise eyebrows over Cuomo's relationship with the Food Network star, it's raised nary a public whisper from political rivals - or religious leaders.
Not all New Yorkers are so willing to ignore that Andrew Cuomo is a fornicator, meaning that he engages in sex with his live-in gal pal without being married.
I’m sure the Catholic church, which Cuomo is a member of is not ignoring either.
The thing about Liberals is that they don’t hold themselves to any kind of morality which is why they can get away with any kind of depravity under the sun.
Their morality is anything that is popular at a given moment amongst themselves.
For example, if it were chic to live and have sex with a Baboon and a growing majority of Liberal minded people did it, then that’s the only standard a Liberal needs.
Forget about what Christianity, Islam, or Judaism teaches about sex with animals. Those are old notions that have no relevance to the Liberal.
If Oprah Winfrey says it’s okay then that's like coming from the burning bush for Liberals,
The terms which used to apply to Andrew Cuomo’s situation were “living in sim”, “making an honest woman out of ‘the girl friend””, and “fornication” which is still recognized under Catholic law to this day.
So the Liberal press may want to try to sell the idea that public doesn't really care.
I guess Obama has been reading this blog because I’ve been hammering him for weeks for his failure to condemn the recent killing of Christians at the hands of Muslims. But, typical Obama, he falls short of properly framing the issue.
I strongly condemn the separate and outrageous terrorist bombing attacks in Egypt and Nigeria. The attack on a church in Alexandria, Egypt caused 21 reported deaths and dozens of injured from both the Christian and Muslim communities. The perpetrators of this attack were clearly targeting Christian worshipers, and have no respect for human life and dignity. They must be brought to justice for this barbaric and heinous act. We are continuing to gather information regarding this terrible event, and are prepared to offer any necessary assistance to the Government of Egypt in responding to it.
The attack near an army barracks in Abuja also reportedly killed more than 20 people and wounded many more. Killing innocent civilians who were simply gathering – like so many people around the world – to celebrate the beginning of a New Year further demonstrates the bankrupt vision of those who carry out these attacks, and we are similarly prepared to offer assistance to the Government of Nigeria as it works to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The United States extends its deepest condolences to the families of those killed and to the wounded in both of these attacks, and we stand with the Nigerian and Egyptian people at this difficult time.
The commercial aircraft — a DC-9 that was not responding to radio messages from air traffic controllers, according to one source — was intercepted and guided to Reagan National Airport, Capitol Police told congressional staff.
The FAA told the Associated Press that the aircraft was a Piedmont Airlines flight from Hilton Head, S.C., which lost radio contact due to pilot error. Piedmont is a subsidiary of US Airways.
It was first noticed at 1:30 p.m., triggering an "Aircon Red" — or air condition red — alert. E-mail evacuation notices went out to House and Senate members and staff just after 1:40 p.m., and the all-clear, a return to "Aircon Green," was given about 20 minutes later.
But despite the clearance notice from police, alarms were still audible a mile away from the Capitol more than an hour after the episode was said to have ended and aides reported that they still did not have access to their offices.
This video is of a New Jersey resident giving Gov Chris Christie the business. Actually I think the strets look better than the ones in New York City.
Snow removal is the responsibility of local mayors-period! That’s why New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg continues to catch hell here in New York City and deservedly so.
Christie signed a letter in Freehold officially requesting aid from the federal government and then took questions, blaming mayors for people being trapped in their homes and Democrats and the media for the attention being given to his decisions to remain in Disney World on a family vacation while the state was inundated with snow.
"I would give the folks in New Jersey state government and the county government an A for the effort we put in," Christie said. "We probably get a B for results."
Christie said the state will review the clean-up effort and report to him and the public about changes that should be made to better respond to future storms.
By Thursday 95 percent of state roads were cleared and the state Department of Transportation received no requests from mayors to help clear local roads, Christie said.
"I don't know whether we're supposed to have ESP when we have 566 municipalities," Christie said. When asked about the hundreds of people trapped in their homes for days, Christie said unless they lived on state roads, it's not something his administration would have been able to change.
"If someone is snowed into their house, that's not our responsibility," Christie said.
When asked about mayors who said they were forced to divert their resources to unplowed state roads instead of clearing local roads Christie said, "I know who these mayors are and they should buck up and take responsibility for the fact that they didn't do their job."
Christie made international news when the storm dumped nearly three feet of snow in some places and he remained in Florida. He said he had promised his children that he would take them to the resort the week between Christmas and New Years and didn't want to go back on that promise. He said since he flew on a commercial airline it would have likely been impossible for him to return to the state earlier, adding that his flight this morning was delayed several hours.
Wow, I didn’t know this was even an issued in the 21st century. The only thing I know about Billy the Kid is how he was portrayed by Emilio Estevez in Young Guns.
In one of his last official acts — or non-acts — before leaving office, New Mexico's governor refused to pardon the Old West outlaw Friday for one of the many murders he committed before he was gunned down in 1881. Gov. Bill Richardson cited ambiguity surrounding the pledge of a pardon 130 years ago as the reason.
"I felt I could not rewrite history," Richardson told The Associated Press, hours after announcing his decision on ABC's "Good Morning America" on his last day in office.
The prospect of a pardon for the notorious frontier figure drew international attention to New Mexico, centering on whether New Mexico territorial governor Lew Wallace promised Billy the Kid a pardon in return for testifying about killings he witnessed. Richardson concluded Wallace did make a deal, "but it's uncertain why he did not keep his promise," said the former U.N. ambassador and Democratic presidential candidate.
He said he could not pardon Billy the Kid given that ambiguity and the fact he killed two deputies when he escaped in April 1881 from the Lincoln County jail, where he was awaiting hanging for the 1878 killing of Sheriff William Brady.
A pardon document was even drafted, "but in the end, I didn't use it," said Richardson, adding that he didn't decide until Thursday night. The proposed pardon covered only the killing of Brady, and not the deaths of the deputies or any other killings. According to legend, Billy the Kid killed 21 people, although the New Mexico Tourism Department puts the total closer to nine.
He was shot to death by Sheriff Pat Garrett in July 1881. Albuquerque attorney Randi McGinn, who petitioned for a pardon after studying the issue, said she won the battle in proving there was a promise but lost the war over the pardon. She said, however, she didn't regret "one iota being Billy the Kid's lawyer." Garrett's grandson, J.P. Garrett, of Albuquerque, sent an e-mail to The Associated Press: "Yea!!! No pardon! Looks like it will be a great new year!!!!"
Wallace's great-grandson, William Wallace, of Westport, Conn., said Richardson "followed the correct, rational track in forgoing a pardon for a convicted murderer."
Both men had expressed outrage Richardson would even consider a pardon, arguing there was no proof one was ever offered. The historical record is unclear, Richardson said. His staff told him in August there are no written documents "pertaining in any way" to a pardon in the papers of the territorial governor, who served from 1878 to 1881.
Richardson's successor, Gov. Susana Martinez, who takes office Saturday, has said she won't even consider a pardon because state issues were more pressing.
"There's an awful lot of work to be taken care of for us to be wasting so much time on such a consideration," the Republican said Tuesday. Richardson's office set up a website in mid-December for public comments following McGinn's petition. The survey that ended Sunday brought in 809 e-mails and letters from all over the world — 430 favoring a pardon and 379 opposed.
McGinn argued Lew Wallace promised to pardon the Kid, also known as William Bonney. She said the Kid kept his end of the bargain, but the territorial governor did not.
McGinn said Friday she was disappointed by Richardson's decision but thrilled the pardon question sparked interest. She said she hoped people would come to New Mexico, see letters Billy the Kid wrote to Wallace, walk Lincoln's single street and decide for themselves whether Billy the Kid was "the Robin Hood of the West or a notorious killer."
The Sun reports that it links Qingdao city in eastern China's Shandong province with the Huangdao district and is a staggering 26.4 miles long – 174 TIMES the length of London's Tower Bridge over the Thames.
Two separate teams have been building the different ends of the Qingdao Haiwan Bridge since 2006.
The crossing links three coastal towns in Shandong province. One engineer said of the bridge's completion: "The computer models and calculations are all very well but you can't really relax until the two sides are bolted together.
"Even a few centimetres out would have been a disaster."
The previous holder of the world's longest bridge title was the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in southern Louisiana in the US.
It features two bridges running side by side and is 23.87 miles (38.42km) long.
I suspected yesterday, Bloomberg, the cheap son-of-a-bitch, held back on the salt.
NY Fox.com reports that the chairman of the Municipal Labor Committee, Local 831, which represents men and women of the New York City Sanitation Department says there is no truth behind a rumor that his members worked slower during the blizzard of 2010.
Speaking with Good Day New York on Wednesday, four days after the first snow fell in a 20+ downfall across the tristate, Harry Nespoli said his workers don't "mess around with the snow."
Local politicians and residents where streets have not been cleared from the snow are angry. From all accounts, the response to the blizzard was inadequate.
I don’t know what’s going on here, but it’s begiing to scare me a little.
