Spitzer Resigns, Trying to Avoid Indictment
2008-03-12 19:11:00 Spitzer should be indicted and prosecuted. He should not be allowed to dodge the full consequences of his misdeeds. Prostitution should not be a crime. However, being involved in some way with prostitutes makes one liable to extortion and blackmail. A man on the way to running for President in a few years would be vulnerable. He would fear revelation of dark deeds of even a non-criminal sort to his family, to his enemies, and others. He could then be ?forced? to use his high office's power to end government action against someone or to generate large favors to someoneread more

Battleboro Vermont Voters Must Turn Over Ballot To Vote For Indictment of B
2008-03-04 09:17:00 From the Rutland Herald: Brattleboro has a chance to set an example for the rest of the country Tuesday, when voters go to the town meeting polls to decide whether they favor indicting President Bush for violating his oath of office, organizers of the Brattleboro Initiative said Sunday. But with voter turnout expected to be high Tuesday for Vermont’s presidential primary, with an abundance of new, young voters supporting the candidacy of Democrat Barack Obama, organizers are optimistic the maverick article will gain widespread support. But there’s one snafu. The article calling for Bush’s indictment is on the back of the paper ballot, and many people who have already cast absentee votes have reported that the issue wasn’t on the ballot after all. Organizer Kurt Daims, the author of the indictment article, said his wife came home with her absentee ballot and couldn’t find the article. It was on the back side of the ballot, with all the elective offices o...

Feds: Renzi made $700,000-plus in deal that led to indictment
2008-02-22 22:24:00 U.S. Rep. Rick Renzi has been indicted on charges he promised to support legislation in exchange for a land deal that netted the Arizona Republican more than $700,000, the Justice Department said Friday. In a 35-count indictment unsealed early Friday, Renzi, 49, is charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering, extortion and insurance fraud. Also named in the indictment is Renzi's former business partner and real estate investor, James W. Sandlin, 56, of Sherman, Texas, and Andrew Beardall, 36, of Rockville, Maryland. Renzi's attorneys, Reid Weingarten and Kelly Kramer, denied their client had done anything wrong. "We will fight these charges until he is vindicated and his family's name is restored," the attorneys said in a statement. I have said it before, and I'll say it now. I have zero tolerance for public officials who are corrupt, regardless of political affiliation. I've said it about Republicans, I've said about Democrats, and everyone needs to ha...

Sunday Repost: Santa Faces Possible Indictment Over Mutant Deer Discovery
2007-12-17 00:41:00 A Wisconsin man discovered a deer with seven legs recently after he struck it with his truck. Perhaps even weirder is the fact that the animal had both male and female ?parts? (to be politically correct). The Associated Press reports that the extra legs were each a few inches long and were attached to its ?regular? legs.The growing concern is that there may be something screwy going on up at the North Pole. Although no other reports of the existence of ?genetically unique? deer have been reported, there have been rumors. PETA officials have scheduled an ?exploratory mission? to the North Pole to investigate the treatment of the local deer population.?Obviously there?s something funny happening when deer can fly and some are born with red noses, so you have to make a connection between that and this mutant deer turning up,? said a PETA official. ?I don?t know what you do to get reindeer to fly, but it?s obviously harmful,? he added.The North Pole has remained quiet and secretive abou...

The Bonds Indictment? Good For Baseball, Or A Referendum on The Home Run Ki
2007-11-22 17:03:00 In reading the multitude of blogs, news websites, and TV telecasts, I have gotten almost every view, angle, opinion, thought and word about the Bonds incident.This is now my definitive opinion in a nutshell.This is a referendum on his personality, his arrogance and the way he's treated people. The feds are going after him likes he's Tony Montana from "Scarface", not some athlete who decided to juice himself up. That's the issue I have -- and I don't think it's about race, though it can come into play somewhat in the reaction of some people.Bonds is not a criminal mastermind, he's a selfish athlete who pumped himself up with drugs to gain a competitive advantage in sports. It's not like he supplied enough drugs to feed a small city, or pump out enough product to create an army of wanna-be juiced up guys.The U.S. Government spent millions of dollars and resources to nail Bonds. In the end, he may have the chance to spend more time in jail than Victor Conte or any of his cohorts...

I didn?t think this would come; alas, personally I thought he would have gotten away with it by now.However, it is now anything but the case.
