-Lurid Crime Tales-
Breck Girl Indicted On Felony Charges
Former Democratic vice presidential nominee and two-time presidential candidate John Edwards was indicted by a federal grand jury Friday on six counts, including conspiracy, issuing false statements, and violating campaign contribution laws.

If convicted on all counts, the former North Carolina senator would face up to 30 years in prison and a maximum fine of $1.5 million.
Insert "purty mouth" joke here...
According to the National Enquirer (best damned reporting on the planet) Johnny's screw-chick and baby-mama Rielle has dumped him.

Oh, revenge is a dish best served sweet and cold...

#1  word is that one of his wealthy backers got pinned with the conspiracy charge as well and has rolled over on Silky. Loss of his law license to steal will be a first casualty

Economy
Unexpectedly Bad Jobs Report Unemployment 9.1%
Employment rose far less than expected in May to record its weakest reading since September, while the jobless rate rose to 9.1 percent as high energy prices and the effects of Japan's earthquake bogged down the economy.

Nonfarm payrolls increased 54,000 last month, the Labor Department said on Friday, with private employment rising 83,000, the least amount since June. Government payrolls dropped 29,000.

#3  How many of the government decrease is related to NASA layoff's?

#4  #3 - can't answer your question unless you know how much of the gov't statistics are fictional.
If the gov't should cut its spending, its payrolls will plunge accordingly, and this should be 'expected', but it will come as a nasty surprise anyway. We need to hire better 'expectors' of statistics than the ones we have been using.

#5  Nonfarm payrolls increased 54,000 last month

Half of these jobs were at McDonalds.

Obummer got booed at his Toledo meeting. It is about time he stops getting a pass from criticism and questioning. The MSM has become the enemy of Americans. hope all these merchants of propaganda go the way of the Dodo bird---extinct.

#6  How many of the government decrease is related to NASA layoff's?

Embedding YouTube Videos Would Bring Felony Charge
If Senate bill 978 passes, embedding a YouTube video on the Internet may bring you a felony charge if more than 10 people view it. The person owning the website and people associated with them could face up to five years in prison if a posted video is found to have violated a copyright and more than ten people viewed it.

The article goes on to say that this bill also lays the groundwork to criminalize even linking to copyrighted information and the shutting down of "alternative media". The article contains a link to the full text of the proposed legislation.

#1  Washington doing its best to remove the last of our freedoms and impose only what it wants us to watch.

Hopefully this dies in committee.

#2  Hopefully this bill dies a quick death--either in committee or in the House. This bill was introduced by liberal democrats: Senators KLOBUCHAR, CORNYN, and COONS. Another attempt at shutting down freedoms on the internet.

#3  Last I checked, Cornyn was a republican.

#4  If Republicans wanted to do something useful with copyright law they would be repealing the DMCA and the Mickey Mouse protection act. Who are they going to piss off? Hollywood? Oh noes!
