POACHES TO STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER

PHILADELPHIA — Stephen Poaches, the man charged with strangling his pregnant girlfriend, LaToyia Figueroa was ordered Wednesday to stand trial on first-degree murder charges. Figueroa, 24, had been missing for more than a month when police arrested Poaches as he allegedly tried to move her body.

On Wednesday, a judge ruled prosecutors had enough evidence to try Poaches on two counts of first-degree murder — one for Figueroa and one for her fetus. Poaches allegedly strangled Figueroa on July 18, only hours after accompanying her on a visit to a doctor.

Police said Poaches killed Figueroa, who was five-months pregnant, at the home he shared with another woman, then dumped her body amid dense brush near some railroad tracks in Chester, about 10 miles away.

Detectives, tipped off by an informant, followed him to her body Aug. 19. At the time of his arrest, Poaches was wearing a bulletproof vest and was carrying a handgun, police said.

DISEASE OR DECEPTION?
THE MYSTERY OF FACTITIOUS DISORDERS

Marc D. Feldman, M.D.

Jenny (a pseudonym) was one of those "invisible" people we all know and overlook each day. A secretary for a manufacturing company, Jenny was as a diligent employee, but one who hadn't developed many friends at work.

Nevertheless, she seemed to find all the companionship she needed in her relationship with her live-in boyfriend. Week in and week out, her world seemed never to change, and yet she seemed satisfied. Then one day everything, suddenly and quietly, fell apart. Jenny's boyfriend announced he was leaving her: he had fallen in love with another woman and was moving out.

Horrified and adrift, with no one to call on for comfort, Jenny chose a remarkable way out of her loneliness. She mobilized an instant support network by showing up at work one day and announcing, "I've just been diagnosed with breast cancer. And it's too late. It's terminal." It was also a lie.

Jenny had found a remarkable and desperate way to mobilize an instant support network of sympathetic co-workers. Eventually she enrolled in a breast cancer support group, shaved her head to mimic the effects of chemotherapy, and dieted to lose 50 pounds all to keep the illusion alive. Jenny was suffering not only from a broken heart, but from an emotional ailment called "factitious disorder."

People with factitious disorder feign or actually induce illness in themselves, typically to garner the nurturance of others. In bizarre cases called "Munchausen syndrome by proxy," they even falsify illness in another person (such as their own children) in order to garner attention and sympathy for themselves as the heroic caregiver.

Desperate? Of course. Yet more common than you might think. Experts estimate that one percent of hospitalized patients are faking their ailments. The medical bills in one case alone amounted to $6 million.

Clearly factitious disorders are sapping an already-burdened health care system. They also defy the imagination. Patients have bled themselves into anemia and then showed up at a doctor's office stating they haven't a clue about how they became so ill. Others have secretly taken laxatives to induce diarrhea, or mimicked seizures so convincingly that neurologists hospitalized them on the spot.

The good news: this phenomenon is finally coming out of the closet. In recent months, newspapers, magazines, and TV news programs have all described cases of factitious disorder, helping both health professionals and the general public to become aware. At the same time, factitious disorder patients are recognizing that, twisted as their behavior may seem even to themselves, help is available.

In Jenny's case, the ruse of cancer came crashing down when the leaders of the breast cancer support group discovered that she had lied about her medical care. Referred for psychiatric care, Jenny revealed feelings of overwhelming depression, and this deep depression had fueled her factitious behavior. Treated with antidepressant medication and psychotherapy, Jenny ended her illness portrayals and moved on--decisively--with her life. She has never resorted to factitious illness again.

THIS IS TERRIFYING...

British Man Finds Venomous Centipede in House

Wednesday, August 31, 2005

LONDON — Aaron Balick expected to find a tiny mouse rustling behind the TV in his apartment. Instead, he found a venomous giant centipede that somehow hitched a ride from South America to Britain.

"Thinking it was a mouse, I went to investigate the sound. The sound was coming from under some papers which I lifted, expecting to see the mouse scamper away," the 32-year-old psychotherapist said Wednesday. "Instead, when I lifted the papers, I saw this prehistoric looking animal skitter away behind a stack of books."

He trapped the 9-inch-long creature between a stack of books and put it in a plastic container. The next day he took it to Britain's Natural History Museum, which identified the insect as a Scolopendra gigantea the world's biggest species of centipede.

Stuart Hine, an entomologist at the museum, said it was likely the centipede hitched a ride aboard a freighter, likely with a shipment of fruit. "Dealing with over 4,000 public and commercial inquiries every year, we have come to expect the unexpected. However, when Aaron produced this beast from his bag I was staggered," Hine said. "Not even I expected to be presented with this."

The Scolopendra gigantea has front claws that are adapted to deliver venom when it stings, which can lead to a blistering rash, nausea and fever. The sting is rarely life-threatening, but painful.

CHAOS, MASSIVE LOOTING IN NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS — With much of the city flooded by Hurricane Katrina looters floated garbage cans filled with clothing and jewelry down the street in a dash to grab what they could. In some cases, looting on Tuesday took place in full view of police and National Guard troops.

At a Walgreen's drug store in the French Quarter, people were running out with grocery baskets and coolers full of soft drinks, chips and diapers. When police finally showed up, a young boy stood in the door screaming, "86! 86!" — the radio code for police — and the crowd scattered.

Denise Bollinger, a tourist from Philadelphia, stood outside and snapped pictures in amazement. "It's downtown Baghdad," the housewife said. "It's insane. I've wanted to come here for 10 years. I thought this was a sophisticated city. I guess not."

Around the corner on Canal Street, the main thoroughfare in the central business district, people sloshed headlong through hip-deep water as looters ripped open the steel gates on the front of several clothing and jewelry stores. One man, who had about 10 pairs of jeans draped over his left arm, was asked if he was salvaging things from his store. "No," the man shouted, "that's EVERYBODY'S store."

Looters filled industrial-sized garbage cans with clothing and jewelry and floated them down the street on bits of plywood and insulation as the National Guard lumbered by.


Mike Franklin stood on the trolley tracks and watched the spectacle unfold. "To be honest with you, people who are oppressed all their lives, man, it's an opportunity to get back at society," he said.

A man walked down Canal Street with a pallet of food on his head. His wife, who refused to give her name, insisted they weren't stealing from the nearby Winn-Dixie supermarket. "It's about survival right now," she said as she held a plastic bag full of purloined items. "We got to feed our children. I've got eight grandchildren to feed."

At a drug store on Canal Street just outside the French Quarter, two police officers with pump shotguns stood guard as workers from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel across the street loaded large laundry bins full of medications, snack foods and bottled water. "This is for the sick," Officer Jeff Jacob said. "We can commandeer whatever we see fit, whatever is necessary to maintain law."

Another office, D.J. Butler, told the crowd standing around that they would be out of the way as soon as they got the necessities. "I'm not saying you're welcome to it," the officer said. "This is the situation we're in. We have to make the best of it."

The looting was taking place in full view of passing National Guard trucks and police cruisers. One man with an armload of clothes even asked a policeman, "can I borrow your car?" Some in the crowd splashed into the waist-deep water like giddy children at the beach.

PUT YOUR LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE

If you are having a bad day, STOP.

If you are complaining about something right now, STOP.

If you are thinking about your problems right now, STOP.

Put yourself in the shoes of these people. Look at this boy's face. There are dead bodies floating around New Orleans and everyone in the entire city has been ordered to evacuate. Family members are missing or dead. People's houses and treasured personal effects are gone.





I can't think of ONE REASON to complain about life right now.

MY GHOSTLY IMAGES--WHAT DO YOU THINK???

I've put these pictures on my blog before. It was my very first entry. However, I am still really intrigued by these pictures since I've found out more about the Windpoint Lighthouse history. I had Dr. Fred Woodard, Ph.D. of New Hampshire look my originals and he is interested in more information from me because he thinks these pictures are legitimate.

I have never experienced seeing or feeling any sort of ghostly presence in my life, but these pictures really make me wonder. What do you think? When I took the picture there was NO ONE there. My mom was with me, so I'm not bullshitting.

I've enlarged the questionable areas so you can see:

Cancer scam artist charged again

Associated Press
August 30, 2005

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A woman sentenced earlier this year to probation for faking cancer and collecting money from fundraisers has been arrested for allegedly deceiving her employers with a similar scheme.

Brookelyn Walters, 26, faces a preliminary charge of theft after convincing the owners of a gymnastics business that she had leukemia, police said. Mike and Erin Booher, owners of Bloomington's Rising Star Gymnastics, said they felt so moved by her story that Walters stayed in their home for a month so they could care for her. "Our trust just sort of kept us going with her, and our pity, too," Erin Booher said.

While she was a student at Ball State in Muncie, Indiana, Walters shaved her head and pretended to be deaf for three years, leading Ball State officials to provide an interpreter for her to attend classes, authorities said. A sorority and fraternity also gave Walters $1,000 raised at a benefit.

A Delaware Circuit Court judge sentenced her in March to four years probation after she pleaded guilty but mentally ill to felony charges. Walters moved to Bloomington earlier this year and had been working at Rising Star since February, using a fake name, police said.

In April, Walters told the owners that she had been diagnosed with leukemia, a form of cancer. The Boohers organized a fundraiser earlier this month at which they held a cartwheel-a-thon and raised about $4,000, police said.

The hoax ended Sunday after Walters was taken to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis where she said she needed emergency brain surgery. Erin Booher and a friend said they asked to speak to a counselor. When a doctor arrived, the pair told him about Walters' story and noticed that the doctor was smirking. The Boohers did Internet research and found Walters' former conviction in Muncie.

"I have never been so agonized in my entire life," Erin Booher said. The Boohers and police say Walters' story was convincing. All her hair was gone one day, including her eyelashes and eyebrows, Erin Booher said. The hair began to grow again, and Walters told the Boohers' 5-year-old daughter it was because of her prayers, police said. "She faked the whole thing, but it was very, very elaborate," Monroe County Detective Barb Beland said.

Erin Booher said she became suspicious when Walters said her heart had stopped at the hospital." She said that she flatlined and had a code blue at 1:20 in the afternoon, and she was back at her apartment by 5 in the evening," Booher said. At one time, Walters had her arm wrapped up with an intravenous port sticking out. At times, she injected herself with a clear liquid that also had a handwritten label. "They felt really sorry for her," Beland said.

WORKING WITH IDIOTS CAN KILL YOU!

STOCKHOLM — Idiots in the office are just as hazardous to your health as cigarettes, caffeine or greasy food, an eye-opening new study reveals.

Stress is one of the top causes of heart attacks — and working with stupid people on a daily basis is one of the deadliest forms of stress, according to researchers at Sweden's Lindbergh University Medical Center.

The author of the study, Dr. Dagmar Andersson, says her team studied 500 heart attack patients, and were puzzled to find 62 percent had relatively few of the physical risk factors commonly blamed for heart attacks.

"Then we questioned them about lifestyle habits, and almost all of these low-risk patients told us they worked with people so stupid they can barely find their way from the parking lot to their office. And their heart attack came less than 12 hours after having a major confrontation with one of these oafs.

"One woman had to be rushed to the hospital after her assistant shredded important company tax documents instead of copying them. A man told us he collapsed right at his desk because the woman at the next cubicle kept asking him for correction fluid — for her computer monitor.

"You can cut back on smoking or improve your diet," Dr. Andersson says, "but most people have very poor coping skills when it comes to stupidity — they feel there's nothing they can do about it, so they just internalize their frustration until they finally explode."

Stupid co-workers can also double or triple someone's work load, she explains. "Many of our subjects feel sorry for the drooling idiots they work with, so they try to cover for them by fixing their mistakes. One poor woman spent a week rebuilding client records because a clerk put them all in the 'recycle bin' of her computer and then emptied it — she thought it meant the records would be recycled and used again."

Please note: This is not a real news article...just satire.

WIZARD OF OZ--RUBY SLIPPERS STOLEN!

Dorothy's Ruby Slippers Stolen From Museum

Monday, August 29, 2005

GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. — A pair of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz" and insured for $1 million is missing from a Grand Rapids museum.

Police Chief Leigh Serfling said the slippers were stolen late Saturday or early Sunday. Someone entered the museum through a window and broke into the small display case holding the slippers.

"There's not a whole lot of evidence," Serfling said. "We're hoping that someone in the community has seen something."

Children's Discovery Museum director John Kelsch said the slippers belong to a Los Angeles man who loaned them to the museum for several weeks this summer. The children's museum houses the Judy Garland museum, which displayed the same pair of slippers last year.

Garland was born in Grand Rapids in 1922. "The slippers are a major attraction at our museum," Kelsch said in a news release Monday. "It is our hope that the slippers can be recovered immediately." Four pairs of ruby slippers worn by Garland in the movie are known to exist, including one pair on display at the Smithsonian Institution. Another pair sold at Christie's auction house in 2000 for $666,000.

WHAT'S A MOTHER TO DO?

More tales from the Poor Stupid White Trash...

Mother ditches son after fast food tantrum

Lori Marie Heine abandoned her seven-year-old son by the road and drove off. Why? The boy threw a tantrum after she refused to buy two McDonald's Happy Meals that he wanted.

Authorities in Florida disagreed with Heine's parenting tactic and charged her with child abuse and neglect.

According to Zephyr Hills Police Captain Randy Delasic, the boy wandered up to a stranger at a local park at about 8:23 p.m. on July 26 and requested help locating his mother. The boy informed the man that his mother had gotten angry because he had asked for a cheeseburger Happy Meal and a Chicken McNuggets Happy Meal. She allegedly ordered him out of the car, told him that she was never coming back to pick him up and then drove away.

The Good Samaritan contacted police who arrived at the park and took the boy into protective custody. Delasic said the boy's 23-year-old sister later called police to report her brother missing and was told that he was at the station. She was also asked to bring in their mother.

At the station, Heine, who reportedly appeared intoxicated, confirmed that she argued with her son about the Happy Meals, but that she parked the car by road in order to drink some beer and had only told her son to "go away for a while."

She later realized that he was missing when it started to get dark and had searched for him. But according to Delasic, officers did not believe that Heine attempted to locate her son. When officers were called to the park they searched the area for the boy's mother, but were not been able to find her.

Heine was arrested and charged with child abuse and neglect and held on $5,000 bail. The Department of Child and Family Services placed the boy with his older sister.

Don't you just love the part when the mom admits that she pulled over to drink some beers?

My God... the white trash are multiplying like cockroaches and they are taking over America!

Stop the madness! Quit procreating, give up sex, get a vasectomy...whatever! Just do us all a favor, ok?

PENIS VANDAL?

GERMAN VANDAL EXPRESSES HIS 'PENIS ENVY' ART

August 29, 2005
Berlin, Germany

German police have arrested a 31-year-old man they caught vandalizing two cars by scratching large penis-shaped gouges into them and said they believe he may be responsible for similar markings found on hundreds of others.

A police spokesman in the western city of Bochum said on Friday the man was under investigation for vandalizing around 330 vehicles in the region over the last few months, most of which had also been marked with the same penis insignia. The total damage may near 350,000 euros, he said. "Nearly all of them had this special motif," the police spokesman said.

"He said he did it because he was mentally disturbed. I don't know if that was just a pretext." The suspect is now undergoing psychiatric treatment, he added.

POLICE ON LOOKOUT FOR STOLEN BOOBS

Italian Police Seek Huge Breasted Woman

August 29, 2005

A 46-year-old woman, who has been identified only by her initials AM, slipped out of her hospital bed following breast augmentation surgery and disappeared. Doctors at the clinic in Rome say that apart from the unpaid bill they are also concerned for her health as she requires close monitoring following the surgery.

Dr. Jamal Salhi said: "She told me that she needed the surgery because she worked in a hostess bar and that clients preferred big chested women. She went from a size four to a size eight which is the largest you can get in Italy."

When she came for the surgery she said, "I want the biggest chest possible." It has since emerged that she gave false information when she arrived at the clinic and apart from running off without paying, as with any surgery she needs to be monitored afterwards.

Dr Salhi revealed it was not the first time he had been the victim of a fraudster. "This has happened to me several times before, the most recent was last December. A man had a penis enlargement and disappeared without paying. We still have to be paid for that operation."

GRANDMA BEATS DOWN CARJACKERS--STABS WITH KEYS

WAY TO GO, GRANDMA!!!

August 29, 2005
OCOEE, Fla.

A 62-year-old city council woman fought off two carjackers at a mall in Ocoee Saturday by stabbing one of the men with her car keys and yelling for help.

Investigators said two men approached Gail Ash as she entered her car in a parking lot at West Oaks Mall. "I unlocked the door, threw my package on the seat and I get in slowly because of my bad back," Ash said. "I had just turned and that is when he grabbed me."

One of the men said he had a gun, but Ash fought back when she noticed it was a cell phone, according to the report. "I said to him, 'No' and I grabbed my bag against my body and I had the keys in my hand and I just jabbed it in to him," Ash said. "I called, 'Help police, help police,' and by the time I said it twice, he had let go of me."

Both men fled the parking lot and remain on the loose. "They probably thought because I was in a handicapped spot that they were not going to have too much trouble with me," Ash said. "But, they found out otherwise."

DON'T MESS WITH GRANDMA!

A TRIBUTE TO MY FELLOW CHEESEHEAD, CHRIS FARLEY

Chris Farley was one of my favorite actors/comedians. He was from my home state and I remember seeing him at one of the bars during the 1996 Homecoming at University of Wisconsin. I screamed drunk and obnoxiously, "Hey CHRIS!!!!" He of course didn't look at me because I was obviously some nut...

The day he died was one of the worst tragedies in Hollywood. I was so sad. It was such a waste of such an incredible person and talent. I still watch his movies over and over and I will never get tired of them.

R.I.P. Chris Farley

"Fat guy in a little coat..."

Farley Gets Posthumous Walk of Fame Star

Fri Aug 26, 9:35 PM ET

Comedian Chris Farley was a motivational speaker, a rabid fan and a topless dancer on "Saturday Night Live." On Friday, the late comic was the toast of his castmates as they honored him with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "I think it's sweet that everyone still has a real nice place in their hearts for him, they still remember him," said actor-comedian David Spade, who appeared with Farley during his 1990-95 reign on the show.

"He goes down as one of the greats. And I still think about him every day," Spade said. Fans, friends and family surrounded Farley's star, the walk's 2,289th, in front of the Improv Olympic West theater where the actor used to perform. Among other celebrities in attendance were "SNL" alums Chris Rock and Adam Sandler"I think every fat comedian owes him 80 bucks that's working today," Rock said.

Farley, whose physical comedy, wild antics and large appetite lent comparisons to another "SNL" alum, John Belushi, died on Dec. 18, 1997, from an accidental overdose of morphine and cocaine. He was 33.

Best known on "SNL" for his characterization of a slovenly motivational speaker named Matt Foley, Farley also drew laughs as an obsessed Chicago Bears football fan and a topless Chippendales dancer.

Born on Feb. 15, 1964, Farley grew up in Madison, Wis. He joined the Second City Theatre troupe before joining "SNL."

Farley later starred in several movies, including "Black Sheep" (1996), "Beverly Hills Ninja" (1997) and "Wayne's World" (1992). A special DVD edition of Farley and Spade's 1995 hit "Tommy Boy" will be released Tuesday.

13-Year Old Boy Arrested for Attempted Rape in Girl's Bathroom

Indianapolis Star
August 26, 2005

A 13-year-old boy is in custody today on accusations he tried to rape a girl at Belzer Middle School. Lawrence police arrested the boy about 2:30 p.m. Thursday after a 14-year-old girl told school officials the boy attacked her in a girl’s bathroom.

A video camera captured the boy’s image in the area of the bathroom before and after the victim claimed she was attacked, vice principal Timothy Mankin told police.

The victim told police she was washing her hands when she noticed the boy in the bathroom. The boy grabbed her, shoved her into a stall and locked the door. The boy held his hand over the girl’s mouth and tried to rape her. The girl fought back and escaped, police say. She ran from the bathroom and reported the incident to teachers.

Prison Warden Comments on Joran’s Temper

August 25, 2005
Taken from Scared Monkeys

Last night during MSNBC’s interview at the prison in which Joran Van der Sloot is being held, Michelle Kosinski had a chance to discuss with the warden Joran’s temper and his stay in prison.

The following is a close translation as to what was said from Rita Cosby, Live & Direct:

Warden: Strange in another way not, because of his temperament..when he doesn’t get his way he gets very angry. He even snapped at his mother once. His mother tried to correct him once, he snapped at her.

Kosinski: Did he try to hit her?

Warden: No, not really hit her, just used a lot of bad language

Kosinski: Did you see some of his temper in prison?

Warden: In beginning yes, with a policeman. But then afterward, the policeman really roughed him up, cuffed him and took him to police station.

Kosinski: How did he act out at the police officers, what happened?

Warden: They came to pick him up and he wouldn’t go. His father was just incarcerated, and he said no, he wants his father free then he would go. I said no you have nothing to say, you are going. He said no, I am not going and went back to his cell.

Kosinski: How has he been now that he has been here a couple of weeks?

Warden: Now, he is normal, has no problems with no one. He has incorporated himself to the system.

Kosinski: How do you think Joran has reacted to not being able to see his parents everyday? Has there been any noticeable change?

Warden: Well, his parents called me and also the second man in command. He called the social worker that handles Joran. To get some extra time visiting. She came to me, I said no to extra visiting time.

Kosinski: So, she thought he should get some special treatment?

Warden: Yes, he thought so..the judge..the judge to be.

Kosinski: How do you think Joran is doing in here, is he okay?

Warden: To my knowledge yes, but to him, he wants to go home. He is eager to go home I believe.

OH POOR, POOR JORAN...IS THAT ALL YOU WANT? TO GO HOME?

OK JORAN THIS IS HOW YOU CAN GET HOME:


CLICK YOUR HEELS THREE TIMES AND SAY, "THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME".

Joran spends his days in prison enjoying many hours of free time to work out, playing various sports outside...he was even seen laid back in his boxers reading a paperback. I guess you're missing the bars, huh, Joran? Do you miss your 'fix' of druging and raping intoxicated girls?

If Joran is let out of prison on September 4, I hope he suffers...Hey Joran, don't forget what goes around comes around, so watch your back.

BAD BEDSIDE MANNER? YES! BAD ADVICE? NO!

OBESE WOMAN ANGRY AT DOCTOR FOR TELLING HER SHE IS FAT

Michelle's Opinion

This doctor may have absolutely no bedside manner or tact...but he informed his patient the truth of her prognosis. That is his job. It was obviously not what she wanted to hear, but it's what she NEEDED to hear.

Seems to me that A LOT of Americans need to hear the same news from their doctors because obesity is an epidemic. However, with this disease, you can CHOOSE your fate. It doesn't have to be your destiny. Change your lifestyle and get your ass movin'!

It's not about vanity...it's about life or death.

August 24, 2005

As doctors warn more patients that they should lose weight, the advice has backfired on one doctor with a woman filing a complaint with the state saying he was hurtful, not helpful.

Dr. Terry Bennett says he tells obese patients their weight is bad for their health and their love lives, but the lecture drove one patient to complain to the state. "I told a fat woman she was obese," Bennett says. "I tried to get her attention. I told her, 'You need to get on a program, join a group of like-minded people and peel off the weight that is going to kill you.' "

He says he wrote a letter of apology to the woman when he found out she was offended. Her complaint, filed about a year ago, was initially investigated by a panel of the New Hampshire Board of Medicine, which recommended that Bennett be sent a confidential letter of concern.

"Physicians have to be professional with patients and remember everyone is an individual. You should not be inflammatory or degrading to anyone," said board member Kevin Costin.

Other overweight patients have come to Bennett's defense. "What really makes me angry is he told the truth," Mindy Haney told WMUR-TV on Tuesday. "How can you punish somebody for that?" Haney said Bennett has helped her lose more than 150 pounds, but acknowledged that she initially didn't want to listen.

"I have been in this lady's shoes. I've been angry and left his practice. I mean, in-my-car-taking-off angry," Haney said. "But once you think about it, you're angry at yourself, not Doctor Bennett. He's the messenger. He's telling you what you already know."

ISN'T IT NOW OBVIOUS THIS GUY IS CRAZY???

PAT ROBERTSON APOLOGIZES FOR HIS ASSASSINATION REMARK

HOW CONVENIENT!!!

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson apologized Wednesday for calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, only hours after he denied saying Chavez should be killed.

"Is it right to call for assassination?" Robertson said. "No, and I apologize for that statement. I spoke in frustration that we should accommodate the man who thinks the U.S. is out to kill him."

WHY DOES ANYONE BOTHER WITH WHAT THIS MAN SAYS? IT'S OBVIOUS HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT!
LIES, DENIAL & LIES!!!

OTHER GIRLS COME OUT AGAINST JORAN!

Taken from Scared Monkeys

Translated from Today’s Diario Newspaper in Aruba:

ORANJESTAD (AAN) — Last night on The O’Reilly Factor of Fox one could hear how the parents of an American girl (today 18 years old) who was a girlfriend of Joran three years ago and this family is convinced that Joran van der Sloot is innocent in the case of the disappearance of Natalee.

It was mentioned that the youngsters met each other at a pool of a hotel where the family would have had a Timeshare, how Joran visited the family in the states and how he had contact with the girl via E-mail until recently.

This is contrary to what also reached the editorial desk, indicating that there is a girl of 17 years old who apparently will press charges against Joran to the authorities for rape. According to this information that reached our editorial desks, apparently there are 3 girls who want to press charges, but that two of them have not yet decided, but that the other does have the intention of pressing charges soon.

PAT ROBERTSON IS A HYPOCRITAL LUNATIC

Michelle's Opinion

First of all, if Pat Robertson is a so-called "Christian", then why would he advocate murder? Secondly, what is with these other statements he's made in the past--suggesting that the State Department be blown up with a nuclear device and that feminism encourages women to "kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." ???

Sounds to me like he needs a dose of something...

Robertson Calls for Chavez's Assassination

Tuesday, August 23, 2005

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested on-air that American operatives assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop his country from becoming "a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism."

"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," Robertson said Monday on the Christian Broadcast Network's "The 700 Club." "We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator," he continued. "It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

Chavez has emerged as one of the most outspoken critics of President Bush, accusing the United States of conspiring to topple his government and possibly backing plots to assassinate him. U.S. officials have called the accusations ridiculous.

"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson said. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop."

Robertson, 75, founder of the Christian Coalition of America and a former presidential candidate, accused the United States of failing to act when Chavez was briefly overthrown in 2002. He has also made controversial statements in the past. In October 2003, he suggested that the State Department be blown up with a nuclear device. He has also said that feminism encourages women to "kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

STUPID KID GETS TASTE OF OWN MEDICINE

Michelle's Opinion

Considering all the trouble teens are getting into (and even killed over...as seen recently in Indianapolis) I think this was a good lesson for this kid! And screw this kid's dad for defending him...he shouldn't have been throwing paintballs at people at 2:00 AM...where were you Mr. Deckard when your 13-year old was roaming the streets???

Prankster forced to strip

Associated Press

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Three men saw teenagers throwing paintballs, caught one of them and forced him to strip to his boxers before telling him to run home, police said.

Dwight Deckard told police the men on forced his 13-year-old son to strip after they allegedly witnessed four teenagers throwing paintballs in a southside neighborhood around 2 a.m. "These guys are adults," Deckard said. "They should know better. They had no right to touch my son. When they did that, they committed a felony."

The four boys, all 13 to 15 years old, were camping in one teen's yard when they left to throw paintballs around the neighborhood, Bloomington police said. The three men chased the boys, caught one and threw him into a vehicle, police said. They forced the boy to take off all his clothes except his boxer shorts and socks before he was released and told to go home, police said.

Officers said they spoke to three men in their mid-20s who admitted abducting the boy and ordering him to strip.

No charges have been filed, although the case has been sent to the prosecutor's office. The teens have been referred to juvenile court on charges of criminal mischief.

JORAN VAN DER "SLUT" STILL CAUSING PROBLEMS IN JAIL

Joran Van der Sloot Combative In Jail

A confidential source with knowledge of a recent fight between Joran Van der Sloot and another individual currently held in the same jail has reported that the fight took place during a soccer match during a recreational period. The boy involved in the scuffle with Van der Sloot was a smaller individual but managed to land what was described as "a few good shots." The extent of any injuries is unclear, but this could be what resulted in recent reports of his having been seen with a black eye.

Additional information suggests he continues to demonstrate a certain arrogance despite being incarcerated for a significant length of time.

Additionally, it is being reported that when his Father was brought in for questioning, Joran refused to cooperate with authorities and did not want to be taken to the specific location where his Father was being questioned at the time.

After a brief struggle, the 6' 5" Joran was placed into a headlock by guards and subsequently restrained.

Lastly, rumors which have been circulating behind the scenes for some time alleging that the 18 year-old Joran had been raped in prison were said to be untrue.

IF HE HASN'T BEEN 'RAPED',
I HOPE THE INMATES ARE GIVING HIM A 'HARD' TIME ANYWAY!

UNBELIEVABLE!

DEEPAK IS EITHER PLAIN STUPID OR HAS SOME MAJOR BALLS

Deepak Kalpoe was seen at Carlos-n-Charlies on Friday night at 1:00 am. What kind of person who was already arrested and detained for a crime that is still pending (in which he is still a suspect) to go show his face where the where the entire incident began???? He has absolutely no respect for anyone...not the Twitty-Hollway family, not his fellow Arubans, not his family, not to his "friend" Joran. I just think it's sick and twisted that he would have the balls to go there knowing that he would be spotted and make the news.

My blog is almost one month old...I've made it past 1000 HITS!

MISSING OHIO STATE STUDENT

Ohio Woman, 20, Missing More Than a Week

FoxNews
August 22, 2005

A young Ohio woman has disappeared without a trace near the Ohio State University campus in Columbus, according to the Ohio News Network.

Julie Popovich, 20, of neighboring Reynoldsburg, disappeared more than ten days ago from an off-campus bar she had visited with friends, the network said. She was last seen at about 1 a.m. on August 11th outside Ledo's Bar on North High Street near the university, getting into a car with a man her friends did not recognize.

According to the police report, her friends said they thought she knew the man. "She was at the bar with co-workers and friends, they did not get a good look at him. It did appear she left willingly," Sherry Mercurio of the Columbus Police Department told FOX News. "She is not the type of person to just up and disappear and drop off the face of the earth. She is a responsible girl. she was close with her family," Mercurio added.

Popovich is a part-time model and student and works at a Max and Erma's restaurant in Reynoldsburg, according to local newspaper, The Newark Advocate. She was described as having brown hair and brown eyes, standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 110 pounds.

"We look at these situations in three levels: she could be gone voluntarily and not want to deal with her family or whatever; she could be gone involuntarily such as being injured or in an accident and unable to call; or there could be foul play. So far nothing has come up to suggest foul play," Mercurio said.

Popovich's family and friends have distributed hundreds of fliers in her neighborhood in hope that someone will come forward. Her family has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to her return, according to WMCH-TV of Columbus. "

Area residents urge anyone with information to make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at (614) 645-TIPS.

Gee...doesn't this story sound vaguely familiar? This makes me sick...I hope this girl is found alive and safe; however, I don't have that feeling.

HOLLOWAY UPDATE

PICTURE OF FOREARM BONES--WAITING ON FORENSICS

Taken from Scared Monkeys

Below is a picture from the newspaper Diario Nuevo Día of the bone that reportedly washed ashore. At this time no one can determine whether they are related in any way to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Authorities are still awaiting forensic reports.

BACK TO REHAB!

COURTNEY LOVE GOES BACK TO REHAB

First of all, Courtney...what have you done to yourself? Your plastic surgery has gotten out of control. You are beginning to look like Donatella Versace! Scary.... Stop the madness!

Yes, looks like Mrs. Kurt Cobain is going back to rehab. You would think after everything she has been through, the suicide of her heroin-addicted husband, Kurt Cobain; her only child taken away from her because of her addictions, violence, arrests, and crazy public displays of action. This woman is obviously bipolar and needs more than therapy. She needs a dose of reality.

Get out of Hollywood, Courtney. Start your life over somewhere new with your daughter and thank God for what you have and that you are still alive after all the things you have done to yourself for over 20 years.

LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES

Excerpts taken from Joal Ryan—Eonline
August 22, 2005

When Courtney Love said she'd been clean and sober for 365 days, apparently she didn't mean consecutively. The rocker-actress was back in drug rehab after breaking down in a Los Angeles courtroom Friday morning and admitting to a relapse that violated her probation and flew in the face of recent public denials.

Per Superior Court Judge Rand Rubin's mandate, Love checked into a facility within hours of the court appearance. She's to undergo 28 days of treatment.

• Only eight months ago, Love, 41, was vowing to "move forward with [her] life in a healthy and positive way."
  

• Only a month ago, she was saying that her newly filled-out form was a sign that she was off drugs.

• Only 12 days ago, she was at the Comedy Central roast for Pamela Anderson bellowing "I've been sober for a year!"
  

On August 19, 2005, there were no bold declarations, just a tear-choked voice when the judge asked if Love understood that she had violated her probation three times over by copping to drug use.

Replied Love: "Yes, your honor."

CHEAP GAS IN INDY!

WOWIE ZOWIE..WHAT A DEAL!!!


Hey everyone who lives in Indianapolis...I found a gas station that is selling regular unleaded for $2.49! What a steal, eh? You can find the bargain on the corner of 38th and Fall Creek Parkway.

This whole gas price business is really pissing me off. I am just thankful that I don't have an SUV like most of the stupid idiots out there. (This probably offends just about everyone I know...sorry!)



QUESTION OF THE DAY:


WHAT IS THE HIGHEST YOU'VE PAID FOR GAS?

HOLLOWAY UPDATE: IS A MIDNIGHT JOGGER A NEW WITNESS?

According to the the Aruban authorities, they are searching for a late night jogger who may have information into the case of Natalee Holloway’s disappearance.

They are searching for a man who anonymously called a hot line with information in the case of missing U.S. teen Natalee Holloway but never made contact again, police said Friday. The man called a few days after Holloway disappeared and claimed to have seen something, said police spokesman Edwin Comenencia. Police want him to provide sworn testimony about what he says he saw, Comenencia said.

The man told the hot line operator he lived near the Marriott Hotel - around the area where Holloway was last seen - and often went jogging there late at night, police said. Comenencia declined to say what the man claimed to have seen or how long police have been looking for him. “I can’t say why, but we need his statement,” Comenencia said. “The problem is we don’t know who he is.”

A fax was attainted from sources in Aruba pertaining directly with the information of theabove referenced news story. Phone numbers and the fax’s author have been omitted:

MISSING PREGNANT WOMAN FOUND DEAD

I BELIEVE THIS IS BECOMING AN EPIDEMIC...WHY ARE PREGNANT WOMEN ALL OVER THE U.S. BEING MURDERED? WHAT DRIVES MEN TO DO THIS?


PHILADELPHIA - Police have recovered the remains of LaToyia Figueroa, 24, the missing 5 month pregnant woman. She was last seen in the afternoon hours of July 18.

Philadelphia police have arrested Stephen Poaches, 25, the victim's former boyfriend. When Poaches was arrested, police said he was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a pistol. The motive is unclear at the moment.

Her remains were recovered Saturday in a grassy, partially wooded lot near homes and a road in Chester, Pennsylvania.

LaToyia Figueroa's father, Nelson Figueroa, said he was relieved that an arrest had been made. "Now she can rest in peace," he said. "All I want is justice with that peace."

DUH...HELLO?!?! IT'S ONLY A GAME BOYS...CUT BACK ON THE 'ROIDS

One convicted of murder for shooting tailgaters

August 19, 2005

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — One of two brothers charged with killing two men tailgating outside a North Carolina State University football game last year was convicted of murder Thursday.

After three days of deliberations, jurors found Timothy Johnson, 23, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Chicago insurance broker Kevin McCann and second-degree murder in the death of Marine 2nd Lt. Brett Harman.

Defense lawyers argued Timothy Johnson had consumed a dozen beers, at least seven shots of rum and smoked marijuana before the shootings and didn't know what he was doing.

Both victims were 23 when they were shot outside the university's home opener on Sept. 4.

Johnson's brother, Tony, had argued with the victims shortly before the shootings. Although prosecutors say Timothy Johnson pulled the trigger, Tony Johnson, 20 at the time of the deaths, is also charged with first-degree murder. He will be tried later.

Timothy Johnson, an NCSU student, told the court he unintentionally shot the two while trying to defend his brother. Harman and McCann had fought with Tony Johnson after he drove erratically through a tailgating area outside the stadium. "I know what I should have done," Timothy Johnson testified. "But it happened so fast. I couldn't let them hurt my brother."

RIGHT ON FOR THIS SCHOOL!

Michelle's Opinion

First and foremost, I'd like to commend the parents who chose this program for their children, and for the Indianapolis Public School District for offering this program. This is why I think it's terrific and it should be used on ALL schools.

I grew up in a mid-sized town in Wisconsin. The elementary school I attended from K-5 was a PUBLIC school. Nowadays people tend to believe that public schools aren't as good. But my school was run by complete nazis. Everyone had to be absolutely quiet in the halls, we walked in lines styled after the military. We weren't even allowed to talk in the lunchroom.

Our only chance for self-expression was during recess. But even that had strict rules. This woman named Mrs. Carriello would walk up and down the lunch room tables and scream, "NO TALKING IN THE LUNCHROOM!". If you were ever caught talking you were forced to pick up all the garbage and even the CRUMBS off the entire floor with your bare fingers. In order to leave the lunchroom for recess, you had to raise your hand so Mrs. Carriello could check to see if you ate your entire lunch. We would stuff food into our milk cartons, but she'd find those, too. Guess what? No recess for you.

There was even paddling at the time. Our prinicpal would walk up and down the lunchroom and slam the fraternity sized paddle and scare the crap out of us.

I hated it at the time, but looking back, I think it was a good thing. Boundaries were set, and the kids knew this was serious business and had serious consequences.

Why can't all schools enforce stricter policies? Why are parents not getting involved and disciplining them as well?! I remember if I got in trouble at school, I'd get it at home as well. I'm on 31, and I'm not some old mean lady, but I think things should revert to the way they used to be.

It will be my life's quest trying to figure out where our society went wrong. It's never just one factor...too many to count and too hard to find a definitive answer.

KIDS GET FIRST TASTE OF SCHOOL RULES

IPS welcomes class of 220 to an academy designed to assist disruptive students before they're beyond help.

Excerpts taken from The Indianapolis Star
August 19, 2005

Thursday morning at Edgar Evans Academy may have been the grimmest back-to-school in Indianapolis. The minute students stepped off the buses, they got a taste of life at the new all-boys academy for disruptive fourth- and fifth-graders.

The 220 boys were singled out to attend Edgar Evans. These boys are considered to have the worst disciplinary records in the district, with some having as many as 20 suspensions in a single year.

So there were several sullen faces as students slouched through the doors.

HEY! A NEW CONCEPT!

Follow directions

Walk quietly, in single file
and three floor-tile squares out from the wall

No unruliness in hallways

Break the rules and face severe consequences

Indianapolis Public Schools officials say surrounding these boys with tough love is the key to sparking better behavior and reconnecting them to classroom success. "This program is here to help you be the best you can be...we're not doing this to you. We're doing this for you." said, new IPS Superintendent Eugene White.

Although it isn't warmly welcomed by the boys, the IPS School Board likes it so much that members vowed this week to open a similar academy for girls next year.

White and supporters call the school an early-intervention program meant to reach troubled boys before they are beyond saving. Discipline will be a prominent theme, along with citizenship and academics.

A few parents were given the option of keeping their children out of the alternative program.

However, only 11 of the 48 parents given that option chose it, school officials said.

Michelle's Final Thought

What kind of pathetic degenerates are these people? They are obviously too selfish and self-absorbed to bother...they don't deserve to be parents. Take their kids away and see what they do then!

As I've always said, "there's always more of 'them' then there are of 'us' "
