Long Time No Post/EBT Interview From A "Singer"

Well it has been a long time since I posted on this blog. But this is as good as any topic to use. This 'singer' discusses her song about EBT. For those of you living under a rock, that is a WELFARE card for food stamps and cash payments from the government, ie, YOU, the sucker who works your ass off to pay for it! Now, I realize EBT cards are also used for Social Security and child support, and this discussion does not pertain that that.

So, seriously, she is right. Who would want to work when California will give it to you for free and make all those who do work pay for it?

in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a
jackass who pays for everything.”

Woman Files Obscenity Complaint Over Library Book

LEWISTON, Maine -- A Lewiston woman has lodged a formal complaint with police, claiming a children’s sex education book at the public library is obscene and should be taken off the shelves.

JoAn Karkos said the book, “It’s Perfectly Normal,” violates the city’s obscenity ordinance, and she wants police to issue a citation against the Lewiston Public Library.

Several weeks ago, Karkos checked the book out of the library and refused to return it, saying the book was inappropriate.

The library eventually had police issue a summons for the return of the book. Karkos will appear before a judge in December on that issue.

In the meantime, police are investigating her complaint.

Library Director Rick Speer said he is not pleased with Karkos’ latest move.

Police told News 8 they should reach a decision as to whether they will issue the citation within a few days.

THANK GOODNESS I WAS RAISED BY A FATHER WHO BELIEVED KNOWLEDGE WAS POWER AND WOULD NEVER HAVE BANNED A BOOK IN OUR HOME. THANK GOODNESS MY CHILD HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF PARENT. I FIND IT INSULTING THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY GET TO DECIDE (BY BANNING BOOKS) WHAT I AM ALLOWED TO READ. I CAN DECIDE FOR MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN THANK YOU.

Casey Anthony a liar? No?! Really?

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- There are five big lies investigators said Casey Anthony told them. Even seasoned detectives were astounded over how she kept up the charade for so long at Universal Studios, where she said she works, but it was all part of a pattern of lying.

---

Lie #1: Casey Anthony told detectives that she last saw 2-year-old Caylee after dropping her off at Sawgrass Apartments #210 on South Conway Road (see map) on June 9, but the apartment has been vacant since February.

Lie #2: Casey told detectives that she's an event planner at Universal Studios. They brought her to the park telling her they were hoping to find clues in her locker. She told security she had lost her identification and then led investigators on a long walk through the park until she finally admitted she was fired two years ago.

Lie #3: Casey told detectives Caylee's babysitter had once lived in an apartment building in Orlando, which they found is for seniors only. It is across the street from her friend's home, where she even stayed after Caylee disappeared."I am very, very close to the family. I was close to Casey," Amy Huizenga told Eyewitness News.They were close, she said, until she recently accused Casey of stealing more than $700."I'm very worried for the child. Why not? She's been missing for a month. There's no reason not to be worried for this kid. I love her a lot. She's a great girl," she said.

Lie #4: Casey claims a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez is Caylee's longtime babysitter. When investigators talked to Gonzalez, she told them she doesn't know the Anthonys and has never been a babysitter.

Lie #5: Investigators say, during the time after Casey claims Caylee disappeared with the babysitter, she told her boyfriend Caylee was with the "nanny" at Disney.According to the police report, Casey admitted up to lying about working at Universal and to everything else except one. She still insists she dropped Caylee off at the Sawgrass Apartments unit for the babysitter.

Offensive Apology

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Stephen Colbert apologized on air Tuesday night for offending residents of Canton, Kan.

Colbert, who is host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," jokingly insulted the town of 800 residents last week, saying, "You can smell that dump all the way from Topeka."

On Tuesday, Colbert played a CNN video clip of angry Canton residents, one of whom said she wanted to hit Colbert in the nose.

Colbert said it was a mix-up, and he meant to insult Canton, S.D."I hope you can accept my apology and I'm glad this whole business is over," Colbert said.

Mexican government protests Texas execution

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN) -- The United States violated international law by putting a Mexican national to death in Texas, the Mexican government said Wednesday.

Protesters for and against Jose Ernesto Medellin's execution gathered before he was put to death Tuesday night in Huntsville, Texas, for raping and murdering two teens in 1993.

His death ended 15 years of legal disputes on a sour note.

"The government of Mexico sent the U. S. Department of State a diplomatic note of protest for this violation of international law, expressing its concern for the precedent that it may create for the rights of Mexican nationals who may be detained in that country," the Mexican government said in a written statement.

"The Ministry of Foreign Relations reiterates that the importance of this case fundamentally stems from the respect to the right to consular access and protection provided by consulates of every state to each of its nationals abroad."

Medellin's execution was also the first of what promises to be a busy month at the state's death chamber in Huntsville. Five other men are scheduled to die in the next four weeks by lethal injection, including Honduran native Heliberto Chi Acheituno on Thursday.

Mexico took the case of Medellin and four other Mexican nationals on death row to the International Court of Justice at The Hague. The court ruled in 2004 that the United States had violated the Vienna Conventions of Consular Relations, which requires a country to notify another country when one of its nationals is accused of a serious crime.

Under the Vienna Conventions, arrested suspects are also eligible for legal assistance from their consulates.

After the ICJ ruling, President Bush reluctantly ordered Texas to comply with that decision and reopen Medellin's case. Texas appealed. In March the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Vienna Conventions were not binding on the United States, which is a signatory to them, because Congress had not passed a law requiring their enforcement.

The president cannot establish binding rules "that pre-empt contrary state law," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.

The ICJ ruled again last month that the executions should not be carried out pending a ruling on a request for further interpretation of the 2004 ruling. But Texas, which had set Medellin's execution date immediately after the Supreme Court ruling, carried out the execution Tuesday night after the Supreme Court denied an appeal for a stay.

In June, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Attorney General Michael Mukasey asked Texas Gov. Rick Perry to delay the execution.

"We continue to seek a practical and timely way to carry out our nation's international legal obligation," wrote the Cabinet officers, "a goal that the United States needs the assistance of Texas to achieve."

U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon also asked Texas officials this week to delay the capital punishment.

Medellin's lawyers, who argued that Mexican consular officials were not able to meet with the man until after his conviction, condemned the execution.

"With this action, our nation has broken a commitment willingly made by our president and our Senate," the lawyers said in a written statement. "We must now hope that other nations stand stronger in their promises than we do, lest our own citizens be placed at risk elsewhere."

Journalists who witnessed the execution said Medellin apologized to his victims' families before he received the lethal cocktail.

Medellin was 18 when he participated in the June 1993 gang rape and murder of two Harris County girls, Jennifer Ertman, 14, and Elizabeth Pena, 16.

If you visit or live in Mexico and break the law, you are subject to Mexican justice. If you live or visit in the US, and break the law, you are subject to US justice. Period. Don't want the death penalty? DON'T MURDER. Period. The Mexican government should have came and got him. The fact that they didn't proves they wanted nothing to do with him. International law? Please.
