Let's not spoil the winner just yet. You probably already saw the contenders from MotorTrend's World's Greatest Drag Race 4. MotorTrend takes the same vehicles from their driver's car competition and drag races them as well which is fine of course although the best driver's car likely is not the best drag racing car. ...
Fast vs. really fast - A Lamborghini Aventador goes up against a 1000 wheel horsepower Nissan GTR in a 1/2 mile drag racePublished on 09-29-2014 01:23 PM
The poor Lamborghini Aventador is getting beat up all over place on this network. Modified AMG's have been picking on it and now the Nissan GTR embarasses it from a stop in a 1/2 mile drag race. In all fairness, the Aventador is a completely stock car here and not modified. ...Published on 09-27-2014 07:20 PM
It is that time of year again where MotorTrend does their World's Greatest Drag Race gathering 10 cars together for a 10-way showdown. It is very cool to see but calling it the world's greatest drag race when some important hardware is missing may be an overstatement. Hey, there is a marketing aspect to the name in order to generate views and that is fine. ...Published on 09-21-2014 01:01 AM
The Aventador has become quite the target for the M157 5.5 liter twin turbo V8 based AMG models. The fact is people love beating up on exotics as they are much more expensive than a German luxury performance sedan. These days a lot of cars cheaper than the Aventador can make big horsepower in the aftermarket and beat an exotic like the Aventador in a power contest. However, nothing can be done to those cars to give them the curbside appeal the Aventador will always have over them. ...Published on 09-13-2014 08:08 PM
This is not the first time we have seen a modified M157 Mercedes AMG beat a Lamborghini Aventador. A Benzboost member who has an E63 AMG S 4Matic with Renntech upgraded turbos has been beating up on just about everything including the Aventador. This CLS63 is not the 4Matic all wheel drive variant however but the pre-facelift rear wheel drive model which is lighter. It does however feature the same basic M157 twin turbo 5.5 liter V8 AMG motor. ...Published on 09-12-2014 08:45 PM
Very interesting video here that helps put Porsche 991 Turbo S performance into perspective. A video from last week raised some eyebrows as a 991 Turbo S cabriolet put up a very strong showing against a Lamborghini Huracan. According to magazine test numbers that should not be possible the video is what is. So how does the Porsche 991 Turbo S coupe do against the big brother to the Huracan the Aventador? ...
Lamborghini Aventador vs 950 horsepower turbocharged Jeep Cherokee SRT8 standing kilometer drag racePublished on 09-06-2014 09:25 PM
Interesting race here pitting two very different approaches against one another. On one side you have one of the most desirable exotics in the world in the Lamborghini Aventador. It has 691 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque from its naturally aspirated 6.5 liter V12 and it sends that power to all four wheels. In stock form the Aventador is plenty potent with test numbers showing 1/4 mile times of 10.4 @ 136 miles per hour. ...Published on 09-05-2014 12:43 PM
We've taken a look back at our history and picked five styles to refresh with a modern twist; introducing the Classic Series. We found inspiration in iconic sports cars like the Ferrari 512TR, Porsche 964, BMW E36 M3, Acura NSX and even German wagons like the W124 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The new Classic line debuts with five new styles including the 300 mesh, the 301 split-9-spoke, the 303 13-spoke, the 305 5-spoke and the 309 19-spoke. ...Published on 09-05-2014 12:05 PM
The Car and Driver Lightning Lap is one of the most interesting comparisons of the year from the major automotive publications. Car and Driver essentially takes a small group of the hottest handling cars on the market from various price points and times their laps around the Virginia International Raceway track. The full breakdown comes in the October issue and Car and Driver will post their results online at some later point this year. ...Published on 09-05-2014 11:22 AM
Here is a race we have been waiting to see. The camera car is a Porsche 911 Turbo S cabriolet. Certainly a fast car with its 550 horsepower 3.8 liter twin turbo flat-6 and PDK transmission. The car it is racing is the Lamborghini Huracan which at 3423 pounds is lighter than the 36XX pound 911 Turbo S. It also is rated at more horsepower with its naturally aspirated 5.2 liter V10 putting out 610 crank horsepower. Crank horsepower ratings do not mean as much as they used to so that is why we like to see real world comparisons. ...
Car and Driver records blistering 2015 Lamborghini Huracan 610-4 acceleration figures - 3423 pound curb weight, comparison to AventadorPublished on 08-28-2014 11:43 PM
The new Lamborghini Huracan is a sexy piece of machinery. What if we told you its performance is even better than the looks? The Huracan is very fast. Faster than even its big brother the Aventador if going by Car and Driver's test figures. The results are simply eye opening. ...Published on 08-27-2014 02:41 AM
This video is similar to another posted earlier this month showing the acceleration of the Lamborghini Huracan from a standstill. The difference is that the previous video was from the Russians over at Dragtimes.info and this one comes from the professional German automotive publication Sport Auto. ...
HGP MKVI Golf R vs. a PP-Performance tuned F13 M6, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560, and Mercedes CLS63 AMG standing kilometer drag racesPublished on 08-26-2014 01:49 AM
A Volkswagen Golf R going up against a tuned F13 M6? Sounds like a mismatch and normally it would be if this particular Golf R did not the have the HGP 3.6 liter VR6 turbo package. HGP Golfs have shown great results against stout opposition such as a Ferrari 458 Speciale, tuned Nissan GTR, and an Evo X with a turbo upgrade. The first race in the video has the M6 and HGP Golf square off and the Golf beats the M6. ...Published on 08-24-2014 08:35 PM
Another great video here from Russian BenzBoost member Vasily1. His Renntech turbo upgraded W212 E63 AMg S 4Matic has just been crushing whatever it runs into on the highway. He has run a Lamborghini before although that was the big boy Aventador. The result was the E63 AMG S making fairly easy work of it showing that this Renntech has this W212 E63 AMG S 4Matic putting out over 850+ horsepower with their turbochargers. ...Published on 08-06-2014 02:01 PM
The Lamborghini Huracan is a very fast car as the test figures from Auto Motor Und Sport posted last month show. The 610 horsepower naturally aspirated V10 does a very good job moving the 3406 pound Huracan forward. For further proof check out this video from our Russian friends at Dragtimes.ru. ...

Jaffrey motorcyclist, 65, critical after Dublin motorcycle crash
Wayne E. Phillips, 65, of Jaffrey was traveling north on Lower Jaffrey Road/Route 137 when he lost control of his 1983 Kawasaki 550 motorcycle coming around a corner near the intersection of Route 137 and Goldmine Road, Police Chief James Letourneau said.
Phillips was lying in the roadway when police responded around 2:45 p.m.
"Passing motorists had stopped on both sides of the intersection to protect him from being struck by another vehicle," Letourneau said.
Ambulance workers took him to a field off Route 101 where the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team helicopter picked him up and flew him to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, Mass.
Speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors so police are looking into a mechanical issue with the Kawasaki, because it was an older motorcycle, he said.

"[McInnis said the California Democrat went too far in his relationship with Levy.] He has crossed the line and we've got to have the gumption to say 'Enough is enough,' ... We have to assure this nation that this [Congress] is an institution of honor, and that our interns are not back here for the lovemaking purposes of U.S. congressmen."

"[During the interview, Condit, 53, admitted to having a close relationship with Levy and said he liked her very much, and he said] No, ... Did you kill Chandra Levy?"
"After life's fitful fever he sleeps well. Treason has done his worst. Nor steel nor poison, malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing can touch him further."
"The Levi's infrastructure is built to make large deliveries to warehouses or stores. It's a much different competency than delivering one pair of jeans to an individual."
"Very likely. I would have to say, more than likely there will be some mill levy increase to take care of the increased jail capacity and the alternative programs."

Places That Sell Fortune Cookies in Kuwait
It seems there is constant demand on fortune cookies in Kuwait. For those who don't know what they are, it's basically cookies you crack open that have a small paper inside with words of wisdom or vague prophecy. There mostly for fun, people purchase them to see what's inside, not for the taste cause they don't taste that good.
So far I only know one place that makes fortune cookies, China Jaden use to make them but stopped.

Can i tell them to write what i want inside or its just a random quotes ?!
I think you can only pick whether you want the quotes Arabic or in English but you can call and check with them before you order.

Former teller sentenced for stealing $600k
Updated On: Mar 06 2013 05:36:56 PM EST
A woman who admitted stealing $600,000 from a local credit union told a judge she didn't know what she did with the money.
Prosecutors said Linda Fite used "C-note sandwiches," where she removed the middle bills from stacks of $50s and $100s, to take the money over a 10-year period.
But when Judge Leslie Ghiz asked Fite what she did with the money, she said she didn't know.
"Clothes, spending, frivolous spending ... probably spent selfishly," Fite said, noting that she no longer has any of the money.
Fite was sentenced to two years in prison and must pay a $5,000 insurance deductible.

The jury in the Raj Rajaratnam case is expected to begin deliberating on the Galleon Group founder's fate today.
U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell is expected to charge the jurors today after prosecutors finish their final rebuttal. That rebuttal began on Thursday after Rajaratnam's lawyer, John Dowd, completed his nearly five-and-a-half hour closing argument.
Dowd hammered home the defense's theory that the allegedly confidential information Rajaratnam traded on was "public."
"You must acquit," he implored the seven women and five men on the jury.
Dowd said prosecutors painted a "make-believe" picture of life on Wall Street. There is "nothing wrong with" what Rajaratnam did, he said. "That happens every day on Wall Street."
Dowd also savagely attacked the government's string of star witnesses, calling one, former Intel Corp. executive and alleged Rajaratnam tipster Rajiv Goel "the worst liar to ever take the stand in any courtroom in this building." He mocked several others, saying that former Galleon trader Adam Smith received "a free ride" from prosecutors in exchange for his testimony and "changed his story so many times he doesn't know if he's coming or going." Dowd also ssentially called Anil Kumar, a former McKinsey & Co. director and Rajaratnam friend, stupid.
"This is a perfect example of why you can't listen to wiretaps in a vacuum," Dowd said. "If Kumar couldn't find the size of the layoffs" at EBay, in one case, "he hadn't read the newspaper."
Dowd also ridiculed other aspects of the government's case, calling it "probably the first insider-trading case in history where the government says the defendant lost $67 million."
On rebuttal, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Streeter blasted Dowd's assertion that Rajaratnam had only used public information in his trading. While the defendant did wade through a "blizzard" of public information, he also had "a huge advantage to the ordinary investor. That advantage is called insider-trading. It's a crime."
Streeter came to the defense of his star witnesses, asking jurors to "put aside whether or not you like them."
"Think about whether they're corroborated. These people are corroborated by wiretaps calls, they're corroborated by phone records, they're corroborated by trading records."
If convicted, Rajaratnam faces decades in prison.

In Sydney in 1894-95, the little Lancashire spinner Briggs was the first man to get 100 wickets in Tests - just, beating the Australian "Terror" Turner by a day or two. Once described by CB Fry as "a professor of diddling", Briggs took 15 for 28 (14 bowled and one lbw) in a Test in South Africa in 1888-89, and an Ashes hat-trick three years later. But he was epileptic - some said the strain of striving for that 100th Test wicket took its toll - and suffered increasing ill health. He died in 1902, not long after his 39th birthday.
Bobby Peel
Vying with Briggs for an England place at the end of the 19th century was his Roses rival, Yorkshire's Peel. A useful batsman (despite once bagging successive pairs in Australia), Peel also passed 100 Test wickets. But a fondness for beer caused him problems - famously in Melbourne in 1894-95, when, after England had followed on, he turned up well-oiled to find his side back in with a chance. He had to bowl 40 overs, and responded with 4 for 77 to help his side to a famous win. Drink eventually led to his dismissal by Yorkshire, although an oft-repeated story about him relieving himself by the sightscreen is now thought not to be true.
Colin Blythe
The next slow left-armer to reach 100 Test wickets was Colin "Charlie" Blythe, a gentle man who took 15 wickets in a Test against South Africa in 1907, the year after helping Kent win their first official Championship title in 1906. Also in 1907, he took 17 Northamptonshire wickets in a day, still a record. But Blythe, like Briggs, was epileptic, and was eventually thought to be too frail for the rigours of Test cricket (a withdrawal that left one critic wondering how England would ever win another match). He was not felt too frail for war, though, and died near Passchendaele in 1917, aged only 38.
Wilfred Rhodes
A Test player for more than 30 years, Rhodes was a cunning bowler, and improved his batting enough to move from No. 11 in the England order to No. 1 (and to share a famous stand of 323 with Jack Hobbs in Melbourne). Economical of action and words, Rhodes was not a huge spinner of the ball - but he was canny enough to know that if the batsman thought it was turning, half the battle was won. He was persuaded out of international retirement at 48 for the deciding Test of the 1926 Ashes, and helped England to victory at The Oval with 4 for 44 in the fourth innings. Rhodes went blind some time before his death at 95, but for years he was a regular spectator at Headingley, able to tell whether the batsman was timing it well by the noise of ball on bat.
Charlie Parker
After all those 100-wicket bowlers, here's one who only played one Test: but Parker made up for that with 3278 first-class wickets, including 108 for Gloucestershire in 1935 when he was 52. Parker should have played more for England, but blotted his copybook by grabbing Pelham Warner by the lapels in a hotel lift and accusing him of ruining his career. Since "Plum" was an MCC grandee, sometime chairman of the Test selectors, and editor of the Cricketer, this was not a wise career move.
Hedley Verity
It's said that Wilfred Rhodes didn't step down as Yorkshire's senior spinner until he was satisfied a worthy successor had come along: Verity, tall and unassuming, was the man. Verity made his first-class debut in 1930, and collected 64 wickets at 12... by the following year he was playing for England. In 1932 he took 10 for 10 against Nottinghamshire, still the cheapest ten-for in history, and in all claimed 1956 wickets during the 1930s (144 in Tests) at less than 15 apiece. And then war intervened again: Verity was killed in action in Italy in 1943.
Johnny Wardle
The irascible Wardle might have been the greatest chinaman bowler in history - but successive Yorkshire captains thought wristspin was too frivolous, and insisted he bowl orthodox slow left-arm spin. He still took over 1800 wickets before falling out with Yorkshire in 1958, with 102 of them coming in Tests, where he would occasionally give a glimpse of what might have been with some sneaky wristspin. For much of his career Wardle battled for an England place with Tony Lock, Surrey's feisty slow left-armer, who finished up with 174 Test wickets: Wardle and his supporters were unhappy as they felt Lock was a thrower.
Derek Underwood
For around 15 years from 1966, England's preferred left-arm spinner was Underwood, who had taken 100 wickets for Kent in his debut season of 1964 when only 19. Quicker through the air than most, Underwood was a particular handful on rain-affected pitches, bowling England to a famous victory over Australia on one such at The Oval in 1968. He was hard enough to contend with on normal tracks, and finished with 297 Test wickets. Underwood's pre-eminence meant few chances for the long-serving Norman Gifford, who played his first Test in 1964 and his maiden one-day international 20 years later, a week shy of his 45th birthday, or Yorkshire's bouncy Don Wilson, who expected to get a wicket with every ball, and looked affronted when he didn't.
Phil Edmonds
Fresh out of Cambridge, floppy-haired Edmonds befuddled the Aussies with 5 for 28 on his Test debut at Headingley in 1975 (the match ultimately ended when the pitch was vandalised). He won 50 more caps over the next dozen years, taking 125 wickets in all, his hair thinning at roughly the same rate as his captains', although they were usually tearing theirs out after another of Phil's theories. He survived the yips (which he overcame by bowling almost from a standing position with no run-up), numerous earnest conversations with his Middlesex skipper Mike Brearley, and a dressing room amused and antagonised in equal measure by his widespread business wheeler-dealing and his wife's bestselling tell-tale tour accounts. Finally Middlesex rejected Edmonds' suggestion that he should play as an amateur, and he turned to business full-time.
Phil Tufnell
Phil followed Phil at Middlesex, although the laddish Tufnell was rarely confused with his lordly predecessor Edmonds. "The Cat" took 121 Test wickets despite few pretensions to batting or fielding, or being thought of as a bit of a liability on tour: his bowling - a classical left-armer's loop from a hop-skip-and-jump run-up - was good enough (and incisive enough on helpful pitches) to make up for that. Tuffers' county career finally ended in 2002 when he nipped off to take part in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, which he won, amid suggestions that some of his former team-mates were voting furiously to keep him in the jungle as long as possible.
Ashley Giles
Now England's limited-overs coach and Warwickshire's director of cricket, Giles played an unsung part in the 2005 Ashes success, flicking the winning runs in the crucial three-wicket win at Trent Bridge that put England 2-1 up. In all, he took ten wickets and scored 155 runs in that famous series. The previous year, after being slated in the press, he had threaded a classic slow left-armer's delivery through Brian Lara's gate for his 100th Test wicket. In all, despite injuries that famously once led his approach to the crease to be likened to a wheelie-bin, Giles took 143 wickets in 54 Tests before the aches and pains finally won out.

Recently, Marcia and I received an email from a college student writing a paper on the relationship between Photoshop and eating disorders. This is an ongoing discussion, and part of the larger issue of mass media's depiction of unrealistic body types for both women and men and its effect on body image and self-esteem.
With Photoshop and other image-editing software, photo editors can touch up, manipulate, merge, blur and take all kinds of creative license, turning a fairly accurate likeness of a person into Barbie and Ken doll look-alikes.
One of the biggest issues we have with "Photoshopping" in fashion magazine is that editors don't have to disclose its use. If Vogue photo layouts came with the equivalent of the surgeon general's warning on cigarettes that might help.

Lt. Colonel Sherwood Baker Denied Entrance by Security Guard to See his Daughter at Rochester Adams High School in Oakland County, MI Because His Uniform May Offend Students
What is going on in the schools today in this country? Lt. Colonel Sherwood Baker was denied entrance to the high school that his daughter attends by a dim-bulb security guard because he was wearing his military uniform. WHAT!!! The incident took place at Rochester Adams High School in Oakland County, Michigan. The security guard told Lt. Colonel Baker, who has served 24 years in the U.S. Army, including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, that the school's policy does not allow military uniforms because it may 'offend students.' OFFEND STUDENTS? Are you kidding me … maybe it is the students who would be offended by a military uniform that need to be denied entrance to the school. Whoever the security guard was that did this needs to be fired. Obviously, the rent-a-cop overstepped his bounds and thought he was being all big and bad with an individual who actually commands respect.
When Lt. Colonel Sherwood Baker tried to meet his daughter, who was sitting in the counseling office at her high school, the Army officer was denied entrance by school security. When Baker asked why he couldn't enter the office building, security told him that the school's policy does not allow military uniforms because it may 'offend students.'
The incident occurred at Rochester Adams High School in Oakland County, MI near Detroit.
Sherwood's wife, Rachel Ferhadson, was waiting in the car said that Baker was told he would not be allowed on school property unless he changed his attire. The security officer claimed that men and women dressed in uniform were not allowed on the campus.
"They told him some kids might not understand and might be offended. So they gave him a choice, told him he could phone in to the office or go home and change his clothes," said Ferhadson.
UPDATE I: Rochester schools superintendent apologizes to Army officer turned away from school: 'It cannot happen again'.
Not only should the school and district apologize, they also should make it a point to bring those in the US military Armed Forces into the school to understand just who makes i possible that they are able to live safe and get an education.
Rochester Schools Superintendent Robert Shaner apologized to the family of a U.S. Army officer who was turned away from a district high school for wearing his uniform.
Shaner, a veteran who served in the U.S. Marines from 1990-94, stressed that this is not the district's policy. He said the security company is contracted and that school officials have met with the security officers to make sure this doesn't happen again.
"I've been on deployment. I understand what people go through and the sacrifices people make. I understand the expectation to be respected for what you've done," Shaner said. "I understand that what has taken place deeply hurts people. We will correct it."
Shaner said that he has spoken with Baker and his wife to personally apologize and tell them "this is not the behavior we expect."
Thank you for your service Lt. Colonel Sherwood Baker.

UNREAL … White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest Has No Idea What Victory Over ISIS Looks Like
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest was asked a rather simple question today by Yahoo! News correspondent Olivier Knox, following President Obama's ISIS speech last night, what "victory" over the Islamic State would look like and what "destroy" really means? Earnest replied with a joke, "I didn't bring my Webster's Dictionary up here." WTF!!! Really, if ISIS and their destruction a laughing matter? How does one plan a strategy against a terror group like ISIS and not define what a victory is? These are serious times and call for serious people. Sadly, we have nothing by jokes in the White House. It starts from the top and trickles down … these people are not serious and America should be scared as hell they are in charge.
There is a reason why Gallup poll now says that Republican party better able to protect United States than Democrats from terrorism, 55% to 32%.
REPORTER (according to the Washington Times Yahoo! News correspondent Olivier Knox), it was :What does victory look like here? You've talked about destroying ISIL, I honestly don't know what that means. What does that mean?
JOSH EARNEST: I didn't bring my Webster's dictionary with me up here. We'll, you know. It's only –
REPORTER: Talking about that — I understood it when you said –
JOSH EARNEST: I think that's a pretty illustrative phrase to describe the situation that we envision. We've talked about the threat that ISIL poses in the context of foreign fighters.

Jesse Ventura Wins $ 1.8 Million Defamation Suit Against Widow Of American Hero Chris Kyle
Yet another clueless jury, do people understand what they are charged with …
Yesterday, former professional wrestler, former Minnesota governor and 911 truther Jesse Ventura won his court case against American hero Chris Kyle. Actually, since Chris Kyle is dead, Ventura won his defamation law suit against the widow of an American hero. A jury actually awarded Ventura $1.8 million. UNREAL, it would appear we have found a more ignorant one than that of the Casey Anthony case.
Defamation of Character???
A jury awarded former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura $1.8 million Tuesday in his lawsuit against the estate of "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle.
On the sixth day of deliberations, the federal jury decided that the 2012 best-selling book defamed Ventura in its description of a bar fight in California in 2006. Kyle wrote that he decked a man whom he later identified as Ventura after the man allegedly said the Navy SEALs "deserve to lose a few."
Ventura testified that Kyle fabricated the passage about punching him. Kyle said in testimony videotaped before his death last year that his story was accurate.
Legal experts had said Ventura had to clear a high legal bar to win, since as a public figure he had to prove "actual malice." According to the jury instructions, Ventura had to prove with "clear and convincing evidence" that Kyle either knew or believed what he wrote was untrue, or that he harbored serious doubts about its truth.
Outrage at Twitchy.com … 'F*cking disgrace': Jury helps jagoff Jesse Ventura stick it to Chris Kyle's widow
Ventura attorney David Bradley Olsen stated Kyle's claims that Ventura said he hated America, thought the U.S. military was killing innocent civilians in Iraq and that the SEALs "deserve to lose a few" had made him a pariah in the community that mattered most to him – the brotherhood of current and former SEALs. If that is the case, then suing the widow of a deceased US military hero should just do wonders. Olsen stated that Ventura was proud of his military service and would never say anything like Navy SEALs "deserve to lose a few." Hmm, of course he would say nothing bad about the military. Has anyone actually listened to the comments that Ventura has spewed? He called "Our Military" contract killers on national TV … does any common sense thinking person think he is not capable of making a snarky comment when there are no cameras on?
"Our Military Has Turned Into Contract For Hire Killers" Jesse Ventura (CNN)
And he said Ventura would never have said any of the remarks attributed to him because he remains proud of his and his parents' military service.
"The statement is completely out of character for Jesse Ventura. He never said anything like that in his life, and he never will," he said.
As The Gateway Pundits disgustingly says, "Congratulations Jesse! You proved your patriotism by suing the widow of a deceased American Hero! What do you do for an encore, burn an American flag?"

Are You Serious … Democrats Celebrated Flag Day in United States By Tweeting Out Non-American Flag
So this is how the Democrat party shows it's love for America, eh? On Twitter stating Happy Flag Day while showing a picture of a child with who knows what flag or banner. What it is not is Old Glory. Instead of honoring the American Flag, but instead attempt to make a political statement in light of the controversy surrounding the child refugee system at the border.
The Democrats
This is the official Twitter account of the Democratic Party. Follow our tweets to get the latest info on Democratic news, issues, and events.
The Daily Caller – Democrats Celebrated Flag Day By Tweeting Out Non-American Flag:
In a picture sent out from the official Twitter account of the Democrats on Saturday, a young Hispanic boy appears to be holding some kind of flag or banner that has the colors of Old Glory, but clearly isn't Old Glory.
The image is likely seen as a political statement in light of the controversy surrounding the recent arrival of thousands of unaccompanied children coming across the Mexican border into the United States from Central America.
However, many on Twitter are not amused:

Marion Superior County Judge Kurt Eisgruber Orders No Prison Time for Indiana Man David Wise Convicted of Drugging & Raping his Wife Mandy Boardman
Talk about a travesty of Justice, since when have we become lenient on rapists … What is is this Shariah Law?
Get ready to be outraged … On May 10, 2011, Mandy Boardman told the detectives at the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department the bizarre story that her husband, David Wise, had been drugging her for at least three years and raping her in her sleep. She had also found video on his cell phone. Last month a jury convicted Wise of six felony charges related to sexually assaulting his wife. On Friday, May 16, 2014, Marion Superior Court judge Kurt Eisgruber sentenced Wise to 20 years. Seems OK so far, right? Well it ends here.
The judges sentence did not include one day in prison. In regards to the 20 year sentence, 12 years were suspended and 8 years were to be spent in home confinement. WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS JUDGE THINKING!!! Since when are we lenient on rapists?
But perhaps the strangest thing is what happened after a jury convicted Wise last month of six felony charges related to sexually assaulting his wife.
On Friday, a Marion Superior Court judge sentenced Wise, 52, to 20 years — but not a day in prison. Of the sentence, 12 years were suspended and 8 years were to be spent in home confinement.
Prosecutors had asked for 40 years in prison.
And Boardman — who divorced Wise after discovering what he'd been doing — is furious.
"To have my rapist, my attacker, convicted on all six counts, only to be let go – only for him to walk out that door the same time I could — was just unfathomable," Boardman told the Los Angeles Times in a phone interview on Monday. "I never thought that he would be at home, being able to have the same rights and privileges as I do."
It gets worse, if possible. From Mediaite, check out the rapists defense as to why he was drugging and sexually assaulting his wife.
His wife was "snippy" and drugging her "made her nicer" is how an Indianapolis man convicted of repeatedly drugging and raping his wife explained his actions in court. The offenses, carried out over the course of three years, netted Indiana resident David Wise a grand total of zero years in prison after a trial in which he was found guilty.
Wait, it gets even worse, if that is possible. The judge turned to the victim and told her that she needed to forgive her attacker. WHAT!!! Where does this judge get off making any such comment, especially when the rapsist never apologized and showed any remorse.
"While the judge was giving his opinion on the sentence, he first turned to me and told me I needed to forgive my attacker, which is unfathomable," Boardman told The Times. "He told me I needed to forgive my attacker and I needed to let my attacker walk. It was a punch to the gut from the justice system — or from one judge."
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office confirmed the accuracy of Eisgruber's remarks.
EXIT QUESTION: What is more criminal, a sicko husband who drugs and rapes his wife or the judge that gives this depraved individual a slap on the wrist?

Oh the Irony … 29 Islamists Accidently Blow Themselves Up When They Prematurely Detonate A Car Bomb
Gotta Love It When This Happens …
Islamists were introduced to poetic justice and irony when 29 so-called rebels were killed when the car bombs they were loading into a vehicle prematurely exploded in the Syrian city of Homs. A guess these folks need to go back and re-read the chapter in the terrorists hand guide to bombs that deals with loading cars with explosives. But we will make it as Weasel Zippers did, the feel good story of the day.
Question, do they still get the virgins?
At least 29 rebel combatants died Sunday when a car bomb exploded in the central part of the city of Homs,
located 160 kilometers (about 100 miles) north of Damascus. EFE/STR/File
At least 29 rebels died in a blast Sunday in the central Syrian city of Homs as they primed a car bomb for an attack, a monitoring group said.
In the capital, meanwhile, two people were killed when mortar fire struck the Damascus Opera House, state media reported.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said at least 29 people were killed, most or all of them believed to be rebels, in the besieged Old City of Homs when a car bomb exploded.
"The death toll is likely to rise because there are dozens of people missing and body parts in the area of the blast," the Britain-based group said.
State news agency SANA also reported the blast, saying a car had exploded while being loaded with explosives.

Mission Accomplished? White House & Jay Carney Gloat About Enrollment Numbers & Blasts Republicans During Snark-filled Daily WH Presser
Barack Obama White House spokesperson Jay Carney took to the microphone yesterday to brag about the notion that over 7.1 million people have enrolled in Obamacare. After all this time of the White House and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius refusing to provide any numbers for enrollment in Obamacare, suddenly they come up with precise number like 7.041 million. HMM, REALLY? A contentious and defiant Carney delivered a prepared statement to the press full of snark, lies and exaggerations on the "mission accomplished" of Obamacare.
"Despite several lost weeks out of the gate because of problems with the website, 7.1 million Americans have now signed up for private insurance through these marketplaces," the president said.
The 7.1 million figure was more than the 7.041 million announced by press secretary Jay Carney just hours earlier.
The administration is allowing consumers who were unable to complete their applications to continue the process beyond Monday. Moreover, the federal government is still collecting data from states who run their own states.
Obama heralded the achievement as "a big step forward."
Next thing you know, Carney, Obama, Sebelius, Pelosi et al will be telling you that you can keep your healthcare insurance if you like it, that you can keep your doctor if you like it, you can keep the hospital you go to if you like it, the IRS is not targeting the Tea Party, the NSA is not listening to your phone calls or reading your emails without a warrant, Benghazi was just about a tape and Eric Holder was not operating a gun-running operation in Mexico. WAKE THE HELL UP FOLKS AND STOP BEING SHEEPLE!!!
Sorry for my skepticism, but I deal in numbers. I would love to get my hands on this data and do some real analysis like, how many enrollment accounts are duplicates? Individuals have to create numerous accounts in the beginning because of the disastrous non-functioning Heathcare.fail site. How many individuals have actually paid their premiums? How many individuals enrolled in Obamacare lost the insurance that they liked because of Obamacare and are now paying higher premiums and have larger deductibles? Sorry, but you certainly cannot count it as a net gain if your program caused some one to lose something and then you compelled them to buy your product. Well, maybe an imperialist president would.
The Lonely Conservative has more of the "intended " consequences of Obamacare as the CBO is stating that Obamacare will cause workers to work few hours, to the equivalent of 2 million jobs. Yeah, let's see if Democrats run on Obamacare in this years midterm elections.
Barack Obama Flubs the Spelling of "Rspect", Oops "Respect" While Praising Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul … Obama Got Swag, Really?
Teleprompter reading mishap alert … Anurag Kashyap has nothing to fear from President Barack Obama.
Hmm, the president who does not know how many states there are in the United States, also appears to have no clue how to spell the word respect. Barack Obama misspelled the word "respect" while giving praise to Aretha Franklin at a tribute to the Queen of Soul. Obama managed to spell it "R-S-P-E-C-T." Are you kidding me, Really? This brought to us by the most intelligent, smartest president ever with an IQ off the chart, or so they say. Who find else finds it telling that Obama can't spell the word respect?
Mr. Obama paid tribute to Franklin for turning her signature song "Respect" into "a rallying cry for African-Americans, women and then everyone who felt marginalized."
The pumped-up audience gave a hearty laugh but was more than willing to forgive the president for spelling it "R-S-P-E-C-T."
In addressing the crowd, Mr. Obama said, "When Aretha first told us what R-S-P-E-C-T meant to her…"
The media and late night comedy shows HERE and HERE crucified John Travolta for botching the name of Idina Menzel at the Oscars, but where are they with Obama's screw up? Oh that dreaded "E". But of course there is no media bias. Just ask former VP Dan Quayle how the media dealt with him with his extra added "E".
No wonder he has never released his college transcripts.
UPDATE I: Imagine that Maureen Dowd and I actually agree on something … "IF you can't spell it, you can't get it."
I had asked above, "Who find else finds it telling that Obama can't spell the word respect?" It would appear one person who did was of all people was the NY Times Maureen Dowd. Barack Obama most certainly does have a "Swag" and "respect" problem. However, Patti LaBelle seems to think BO's got Swag. YIKES, let's hope that Patti does not mean the urban dictionary version. I thing she meant "SWAGG". In any event, it would seem that Obama does not know how to spell respect, and LaBelle does not know what the definition of Swagg is.
President Obama pulled a Quayle Thursday night at a White House performance by the women of soul and muffed the title of Aretha Franklin's anthem. "R-S-P-E-C-T," he said, looking a bit confused and eliciting laughter.
When Patti LaBelle took the stage, she told Obama, "Baby, you've got swag."
Swag and respect are exactly what the president needs. He's got a swag gap with Russia. His administration, after belatedly figuring out what was going on in Ukraine, is improvising as the uber-swaggering Vladimir Putin once more rolls in with tanks anywhere he likes.

Send in the Clown: After Having Gone to California Because Americans are Sufferring from a Drought, For President's Day Weekend Barack Obama Golfs on "Water Guzzeling" SOCAL Golf Courses
You just can't make this hypocrisy up … Barack Obama shows his shared sacrifice in the conservation of water in Cali by going golfing … Send in the Clown!
President Barack Obama travels to drought plagued California and promising to create a $1 billion slush fund for individuals harmed by the extreme drought conditions in California. Obama used the opportunity to pander for global warming. Oh sorry, climate change. But isn't that par for the course? Speaking of par, the do as I say, not as I do Barack Obama managed to find his way on President's Day weekend onto "Water-Guzzling" desert golf courses. How can any one take this man seriously? Shared sacrifice? You dare lecture us and you turn around and do just the opposite. Oh that's right, no one care dare call you out on anything or be deemed a racist. They say that there is a shortage of clowns in America. There is supposedly a lack of wannabe Bozos. Really? No there is not, they just need to look to Washington, DC, Congress and namely 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Ha, looks like the folks at Powerline were on the same thought process. However, I would add there are also many Republicans that can be added to the list, or so-called GOP'ers.
Who thinks at some point maybe Barack Obama should set the example of shared sacrifice? Send in the Clown.
President Barack Obama is wrapping up a three-day weekend in Southern California with a game of golf.
Obama was scheduled to return to Washington late Monday.
The White House says Obama was playing on the nine-hole course at the sprawling Sunnylands estate in Rancho Mirage. Childhood friends Bobby Titcomb, Greg Orme and Michael Ramos rounded out the foursome.
shhh … don't tell anyone I am and complete and total hypocrite
Obama Plays Water-Guzzling Desert Golf Courses Amid California Drought: After preaching shared sacrifice to assuage the California water shortage, Obama has played some of the country's thirstiest golf courses.
President Barack Obama traveled to California on Friday to highlight the state's drought emergency at two events near Fresno, calling for shared sacrifice to help manage the state's worst water shortage in decades. He then spent the rest of the weekend enjoying the hospitality of some of the state's top water hogs: desert golf courses.
Vacationing with DVDs of his favorite television shows and multiple golf outings with his buddies, the duffer in chief played at two of the most exclusive courses in the Palm Springs area. On Saturday, Obama played at the Sunnylands estate, built by the late billionaire Walter Annenberg, which features a nine-hole course that is played like 18 holes. The following day he golfed at billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison's 19-hole Porcupine Creek. On Presidents' Day, Obama hit the links at Sunnylands once again.
The 124 golf courses in the Coachella Valley consume roughly 17% of all water there, and one-quarter of the water pumped out of the region's at-risk groundwater aquifer, according to the Coachella Valley Water District. Statewide, roughly 1% of water goes to keep golf courses green. Each of the 124 Coachella Valley courses, on average, uses nearly 1 million gallons (3.8 million L) a day because of the hot and dry climate, three to four times more water per day than the average American golf course.

Rep. Trey Radel (R-FL) Will Resign His Seat Effective Today … In Wake of Misdemeanor Possession of Cocaine in November 2013
The Politico is reporting that Rep. Trey Radel (R-FL) will resign from Congress on Monday. Reuters is confirming the story as well, that Republican U.S. Representative Trey Radel, who was charged in November with buying cocaine, plans to resign from Congress, effective Monday.
Sadly, Radel has blown his political career up his nose … Although I guess it would have been acceptable if he was caught smoking pot and Barack Obama had stated that there is no difference between cocaine and alcohol.
The first-term Republican plans to send a letter to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) Monday, sources said.
It's up to Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott to schedule a special election for Radel's seat. His southwest Florida district is solidly Republican — Mitt Romney won the district with 61 percent of the vote.
The race for Radel's seat had begun even before he decided to resign. Republican Paige Kreegel, a former state representative, has already launched a campaign for the 19th district. Kreegel, who finished third to Radel in a 2012 primary, has drawn the support of a super PAC, which has raised $1 million with the intention of helping him win the seat.
As Hot Air opines, "most Republicans wanted him gone after the arrest. Instead, Radel insisted that he would hold his seat after going through rehab. Unless I missed a memo, there hasn't been any unusual events surrounding his return this month. Perhaps Radel found his welcome back to the caucus chillier than Polar Vortex I or II." Touche. Let's hope Obamacare covers drug rehab.

His "final Decision" may be referencing his atheistic views. That final decision could be the time he finally could say he was atheist. God wasn't paying attention to him, so he'd rather pay attention to himself and not a "higher power."
He's implying that just because he fingered her, he isn't going to marry her.
Tyler is asking for the Hershey's and Graham crackers so rapidly because he wants the hot marshmallow to melt the chocolate to create that perfect s'more effect.
The sudden extreme "gayness" could have upset Tyler, making him flip and want him away from him.
It's not very common you'll find crack in Hawaii or Alaska, thus the name makes sense because the close states of America are the 48 excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

Blame it on the boogie
Minor pop royalty and all round good deed doer Marcia Barrett of Boney M has been raising awareness for the Dubai Autism Centre this week. Time Out caught up for a chat Discuss this article
Marcia Barrett is a woman in a hurry. Time Out is offered an interview with the singer and star of hit '70s band Boney M the day before her concert to raise awareness about autism for the Dubai Autism Center (DAC), but when the time comes our 15-minute slot has been reduced to a mere two. 'She's very busy,' her publicist tells us, by way of explanation.
Indeed. In fact, it's a mini miracle that Barrett is in Dubai at all. 'I'm here to do a show, but it was spontaneous,' says Marcia in an accent rich with her native Caribbean rhythms despite living between Europe and the US since she moved to England aged 13. 'I was in India doing something for the Breast Cancer Foundation and while I was there I was invited to Dubai.'
It took, she says with a laugh, 'about a week' for her to work the logistics out. 'It fitted in,' she notes with the easy authority of one used to last-minute schedule changes, 'superbly.'
Awareness-raising is important to Barrett, who's travelled from South Africa to Romania to help bring attention to causes from Aids to preventable blindness. ('If I have some time I like to help give a little laughter, a little fun,' she says with a shrug.) Her own series of brushes with cancer have contributed to Barrett's idea that awareness and understanding of many different issues is key.
'I was first diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1994,' she explains, 'Then breast cancer and, in 2003, breast cancer again and [cancer in my] spinal cord.' It's important, she says, that people learn that illnesses and conditions aren't always in line with public perception of them. People hear the word cancer, for example, and 'sort of give up or dig a grave for you.' Barrett, meanwhile, 'would really like to spread the news that you can be healed, and you can be healthy again.'
For many, autism is similarly misunderstood. Rather than being, as many people perceive, one condition with one diagnosable set of characteristics, the condition sits on what is called the 'autism spectrum', a scale that encompasses various degrees of so-called typical symptoms of autism – resistance to change, difficulty in mixing with others, a lack of demonstrable affection, to name just three. Not all sufferers share the same symptoms and, while many find it difficult to socialise 'normally', there are many others who are able to, and many more who can be taught to do so with the right teaching and therapeutic approach.
Dubai Autism Center is doing much to raise the profile – and understanding – of the condition in the UAE. Since its inception seven years ago, it has grown from a resource and assessment centre with only a handful of staff to a fully-functioning school (boasting over 40 students) and 60 staff – 10 of whom are trained professionals in the field.
As an entirely non-profit organisation, DAC relies on grants, donations and fundraising to continue and develop its work; events such as Barrett's recent outing under the banner of Boney M are crucial in profile-raising terms.
She is, in fact, the only member of the original band appearing on stage. (Boney M's demise in the late '80s was notoriously fractious and there's little love lost between former members. As Barrett notes – without a trace of bitterness – 'During the time I was ill, I was living in Florida, yet my old colleagues and other people were out there making money and singing these songs. So I thought to myself, when I started to walk again [her spinal cancer had confined to her bed], "Why don't you go back to Europe and do the same?" I worked hard for it and I'm here to take my rightful place.')
Boney M's strong disco tang has meant their numerous hits – 'Brown Girl In The Ring, 'Rasputin', 'By The Rivers Of Babylon', et al – have remained foot-stompin' favourites since they first topped charts over Europe with 'Daddy Cool' in 1976 (a Momma Mia-style musical of the same name opened in London 30 years later).
The key to their success? 'What can I say?' Barrett answers rhetorically. 'We were at the right place at the right time with the right songs – they are melodic and good to dance to. It's really nice to know that after 32 years people still want to dance to them.' And with that, she's off. Our two minutes have stretched to 10, but Barrett has a concert to perform. Charitable disco? Marcia, you're playing our tune.By Catherine Jarvie

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals' Larry Foote: Arizona 'is heaven' for a linebacker
At multiple points over the last handful of seasons, it seemed as if Larry Foote's name was brought up as a possibility for the Arizona Cardinals.
Having made a name for himself as a Pittsburgh Steeler, the 12-year veteran comes to the Valley with 481 total tackles, 23 quarterback sacks and three interceptions.
"A blitzing linebacker, a guy that likes to take it to the offense," Foote told Bickley and Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Wednesday when asked to describe himself. "I'm known for being a guy that plays above the neck, and I'm a true believer that in this league, if you make mistakes you lose. Just being a veteran, and teams around the league knew that's what I brought to the locker room, and B.A. knew that as well."
Foote spent 11 of his 12 seasons as a member of the Steelers, eight of which came while Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was with the team. So part of the reason Foote decided to sign a one-year deal with the Cardinals is familiarity, as he comes in knowing he'll be a good fit for the defense Arizona runs.
Another reason? That defense he'll be a part of.
"If you're a linebacker, this is heaven for you," he said. "With the guys up front and with the addition of (Antonio) Cromartie, and we already got (Patrick) Peterson, we're going to be a tough defense."
How much Foote will actually bring to the defense remains to be seen. At 33 he is no spring chicken, and he played in just one game last season after rupturing a biceps in Week 1.
However, the Cardinals got great seasons out of veteran pickups John Abraham and Karlos Dansby last season, and the hope is Foote, who helped the Steelers to three Super Bowl appearances (two wins) can have similar success in 2014.
"I left Pittsburgh once, I played in Detroit in '09 and that defense just didn't fit my style," Foote said. "I was watching these guys last year and seeing they led the league in blitzing, and as a linebacker you just want to go there and play that style."
The Cardinals are happy to have him. With Dansby now in Cleveland and Daryl Washington facing a possible suspension, the team was set to be pretty thin at the inside linebacker position. In Foote, they have someone who has proven himself capable, and while he's not the player he once was, that doesn't mean he can't contribute to a team that has Super Bowl aspirations of its own.
And about those Super Bowls, Foote recorded a pair of tackles in one that probably did nothing to endear himself to Arizona fans.
"I don't remember," he said of Super Bowl XLIII, with a chuckle. "I don't remember. That was a long time ago.
"I've got this red and white on, baby, I don't remember none of that."
