Debt Ceiling Deal Reached To Avert Default-Tea Party can declare victory!

Even though Tea Party members may not like the final deal, they can surely declare victory for getting congress to deal with fixing the country’s outrageous debt situation. They set the terms of the debate where neither establishment GOPers nor Democrats wanted to go.



It’s not a perfect fix, far from it. But, it’s a small step in the right direction.



The big loser is President Obama who stayed on the sidelines and showed just how incompetent he is as president. Next on the agenda is voting him out of office.







The Huffington Post



President Barack Obama and Republican congressional leaders reached historic agreement Sunday night on a compromise to permit vital U.S. borrowing by the Treasury in exchange for more than $2 trillion in long-term spending cuts.



Officials said Republican Speaker John Boehner telephoned Obama at mid-evening to say the agreement had been struck.



Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid said that both his party and opposition Republicans gave more ground than they wanted to. He said it'll take members of both political parties to pass the measure.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the pact "will ensure significant cuts in Washington spending" and he assured the markets that a first-ever default on U.S. obligations won't occur.



Both the leaders said they will brief their colleagues tomorrow on the details of the agreement.

TPM



Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has signed off on a deal to raise the debt limit pending the approval of his caucus -- and of course if can win the backing of Senate GOP leaders and then a majority of the House.



His spokesman confirms that Reid will present the deal to his caucus shortly, with the hope of holding a vote on it Sunday night, giving House leaders some running room to pass the plan before the nation's borrowing authority expires late Tuesday.



The deal works like this:

It guarantees the debt limit will be hiked by $2.4 trillion. Immediately upon enactment of the plan, the Treasury will be granted $400 billion of new borrowing authority, after which President Obama will be allowed to extend the debt limit by $500 billion, subject to a vote of disapproval by Congress.



That initial $900 billion will be paired with $900 billion of discretionary spending cuts, first identified in a weeks-old bipartisan working group led by Vice President Joe Biden, which will be spread out over 10 years.



Obama will later be able to raise the debt limit by $1.5 trillion, again subject to a vote of disapproval by Congress.



That will be paired with the formation of a Congressional committee tasked with reducing deficits by a minimum of $1.2 trillion. That reduction can come from spending cuts, tax increases or a mixture thereof

DRUNK DAD BILLY JOE MADDEN LETS BOY, 8, DRIVE CAR

TEACHING A boy to drive often falls to dad. It's just that usually they're closer to 16, not 8. Billy Joe Madden of Hattiesburg, Mississippi (where else) was hammered, according to cops, and so while he had a snooze he had his 8-year-old take over the driving while they traveled from Mississippi to Texas. He was doing the speed limit, Louisiana State Police said, adding he had to sit on the edge of his seat to reach the gas. His 4-year-old sister sat in the backseat. The child’s driving was apparently so erratic that it alarmed motorists, who called police.
His 28-year-old father--named Hattiesburg's best dad last year--was booked for child desertion and allowing a minor to drive. The vehicle was a green Chevy pick-up. Pretty dumb, huh?

Game addict Chris Staniforth, 20, killed by deep vein thrombosis playing too much Xbox

I stopped playing games (Sega game system) when I was twenty four years old. That was twenty four years ago and I thought I’d stopped at a late age. But, the game systems changed and I thought it was an opportunity for me to put away childish things.

I don’t get grown men playing video games.

The Sun

A LAD of 20 has been killed by a blood clot caused by playing his Xbox for up to 12 hours at a time.

A post mortem revealed that Chris Staniforth - addicted to games such as Halo - had suffered a deep vein thrombosis. It can be triggered by sitting in one position for long spells.

Stunned dad David, of Sheffield, said: "He lived for his Xbox. I never dreamed he was in any danger.

"As a parent you think playing computer games can't do them any harm because you know what they are doing

"Kids all over the country are playing these games for long periods - they don't realise it could kill them."

Chris collapsed seconds after telling a friend how he had been experiencing a strange sensation in his chest.

The pair were chatting outside a JobCentre where Chris had an interview.

David said: "He told his friend how he was woken in the night by a strange feeling in his chest.

“Then he dropped a packet of chewing gum and as he picked it up, he jolted back and began to spasm."

Chris's friend called an ambulance - but paramedics could not save him.
A coroner yesterday confirmed DVT had caused Chris's death and it was cited on his death certificate.

Republicans and Democrats reach tentative deal on debt ceiling talks that kicks the can down the road, again!

As I expected this Kabuki dance between the Dems and the GOP was coming down to the last wire.



Basically, this deal that both sides are not going to like does nothing to stop the rate of spending.



Instead of going over the cliff at 100 mph, we’re slowing down to 92.



It’s kicking the can down the road, as usual.



ABC News



Democratic and Republican Congressional sources involved in the negotiations tell ABC News that a tentative agreement has been reached on the framework of a deal that would give the President a debt ceiling increase of up to $2.4 trillion and guarantee an equal amount of deficit reduction over the next 10 years.



The details are still being worked out, and a senior White House aide tells ABC News, "talks continue but there is no deal to report."

Congressional leaders plan to brief their members on the framework tomorrow. The reaction from both parties' rank-and-file will determine whether this tentative deal becomes a final deal.

Here, according to Democratic and Republican sources, are the key elements:



*A debt ceiling increase of up to $2.1 to $2.4 trillion (depending on the size of the spending cuts agreed to in the final deal).



*They have now agreed to spending cuts of roughly $1.2 trillion over 10 years.



* The formation of a special Congressional committee to recommend further deficit reduction of up to $1.6 trillion (whatever it takes to add up to the total of the debt ceiling increase). This deficit reduction could take the form of spending cuts, tax increases or both.



*The special committee must make recommendations by late November (before Congress' Thanksgiving recess).



* If Congress does not approve those cuts by December 23, automatic across-the-board cuts go into effect, including cuts to Defense and Medicare. This "trigger" is designed to force action on the deficit reduction committee's recommendations by making the alternative painful to both Democrats and Republicans.



* A vote, in both the House and Senate, on a balanced budget amendment.

Maybe computer can be the norm to perform same sex weddings?

Daily Mail

When Miguel Hanson and Diana Wesley get married today, they won't stand before a gray haired minister holding a Bible. Instead, they'll be looking at a 30-inch monitor.

Mr Hanson, a Houston, Texas web developer and IT consultant, created a minister software program when the couple couldn't get a friend to serve as the minister at their wedding. On one half of the screen, they'll see a virtual minister with an animated, square face with blue eyes and thin, oval glasses.

His voice will be heard over a sound system while the text of what he's saying will show up on the other half of the screen.

The trigger that could lead to a debt deal

I was saying to a good friend of mine who’s really concerned about the country might go into default, not to worry.

This whole song and dance going on in Washington is exactly that, a show to scare the Be-jesus out of people, so when a deal finally gets cut, most people won’t pay attention to the details of a crappy deal that solves absolutely nothing.

The Washington Post

Look closely at the Reid and Boehner bills. The first round of cuts are pretty much the same. The joint congressional committee charged with recommending further deficit reduction is pretty much the same. The difference is that Boehner’s bill forces them to act. He ties a future increase in the debt-ceiling to the successful passage of their proposal. Reid’s bill has no such trigger. And many of the participants in this process say that is the space where a deal will be made -- or not made.

Democrats dismiss Boehner’s current offer completely.
At the New Republic, Jonathan Chait piquantly compared it to “a kidnapper who offers to give you back your child in return for $100,000 and your other child.” A senior Democratic aide in the Senate is even blunter. “That’s the one line in the sand we’ve drawn this whole time. We can’t be revisiting this in another six months.”

Most think the likely compromise is a trigger that would impose automatic, across-the-board cuts in spending if the committee fails in its mission. But Senate Democratic leadership isn’t so sure. They worry that a spending-cuts only trigger is heads, Republicans win; tails, Democrats lose. “The idea of triggers with just cuts is a non-starter. Republicans would just deadlock the committee and get the cuts they want,” continues the aide. “If there is a trigger it would have to be balanced.”

The White House proposed a balanced trigger in April: It would have automatically raised taxes and cut spending if America wasn’t on a path to balanced budgets by 2014. In his remarks on Friday morning, Obama reiterated that support. “if we need to put in place some kind of enforcement mechanism to hold us all accountable for making these reforms, I’ll support that too if it’s done in a smart and balanced way.”

HUSTLER MAG OFFERS CASEY ANTHONY $500 GS

STRIPPER?

PARTY mom Casey Anthony has been offered $500,000 to pose naked for Hustler magazine.
Owner Larry Flint claimed even he found the offer to America's most notorious women,  "a little weird" but said that fans of the magazine had repeatedly asked him about it.
He said: "I just felt that people wouldn't want to see her with her clothes on or off, so I kind of forgot about the idea.'
But he added: "I just recently got off of a book tour where dozens of people would come up to me in Philadelphia, Austin, Houston, they'd
say, 'Why haven't you made an offer to Casey Anthony?"'
Despite some of the weird and wacky things Flynt has done in his checkered life, he admitted that even he was a little bit wary about the idea. 
He said: "You've got men who say, hey, I want to see her in her birthday suit. There may be some sick individuals  but that's what life is all about."
He added that in addition to the $500,000, he offered Anthony a percentage of whatever he earns from her pictures.
The news comes just days after we revealed here that she had been offered $1 million for her first TV interview, about the murder of her daughter Caylee.

BREAKING: Obama Approval Drops to New Low of 40%

Barack Obama is desperately trying to work the debt ceiling crisis as a means of trying to get his approval rating up by putting the blame on the Republicans.

I don’t see how that’s gonna work exactly considering his record of out-of-control spending.

Gallup

President Obama's job approval rating is at a new low, averaging 40% in July 26-28 Gallup Daily tracking. His prior low rating of 41% occurred several times, the last of which was in April. As recently as June 7, Obama had 50% job approval.

Obama's approval rating averaged 46% in June and was near that level for most of July; however, it has stumbled in the past few days, coinciding with intensification of the debt ceiling/budget battle in Washington.
Obama's 40% overall approval rating nearly matches the recent 41% approval Americans gave him for handling the debt ceiling negotiations. Though Americans rate Obama poorly for his handling of the situation, they are less approving of how House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are handling it. Gallup does not include ratings of Congress or congressional leaders in its Daily tracking, and thus, there is no overall job approval rating of Boehner, Reid, or Congress directly comparable to Obama's current 40% overall job approval rating.

Boehner: 'I stuck my neck out a mile' for debt-ceiling deal with White House

Despite what the Obama-suck media is screwing over the airwaves, the only people coming up with plans to address the financial situation of the United States are the Republicans.

The Democrats offer no plans and just criticize the GOP to score cheap political points with voters. Is this how a responsible political party should act?

I don’t think so.

The Hill

A defiant House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) late Friday defended his debt-ceiling plan by saying it is the only viable plan on paper so far.

The Speaker said he'd risked political capital and stuck his neck out to try to get a deal, while saying an agreement with Democrats was impossible due to their intransigence.

"I've offered ideas, I've negotiated," Boehner said in closing debate on his bill. "Not one time, not one time did the administration ever put any plan on the table. All they would do is criticize what I put out there.

"I stuck my neck out a mile to try to get an agreement with the president of the United States," Boehner continued to grumbling among Democrats. "Hey, I put revenues on the table in order to try to come to an agreement in order to avert us being where we are. But a lot of people in this town can never say yes."

Boehner closed his remarks by thundering: "This House has acted. And it is time for the administration and time for our colleagues across the aisle… put something on the table! Tell us where you are!"

Boehner defended an addition to his bill that would require both houses to pass a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution, saying the country is ready for this change.

"It's time for this to happen," he said. "It enjoys support from both houses of this Congress, and it enjoys bipartisan and widespread support across our country."

SERIAL KILLER JEFFREY DAHMER'S LAST VICTIM - A MURDERER?

KILLER?

DAHMER

NOTORIOUS Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer's last intended victim who helped to bring his decade long spree of sexual assault and cannibalism to end has now been arrested for murder himself. 
Almost 20-years ago Tracy Edwards, now 52, was found naked and partially handcuffed in the street outside the the lunatic's home. 
He told cops that wielding a large butcher's knife, Dahmer who was eventually convicted of the murder, mutilation and cannibalisation of 16 young men and boys, had forced him into his bedroom wielding a large butcher's knife. 
Then as he tried to cuff his wrists, Edwards fought back, punching and kicking his attacker and running out into the street. 
When cops found him he told them about a horrible smell coming from a blue barrel, which led to the gruesome discovery of body parts in his refrigerator and other human remains around his apartment. 
Almost two decades on however, Edwards is himself facing a possible homicide charged after a fight that led to Johnny Jordan falling into the Milwaukee River in Wisconsin and dying.
They had got into an argument with two other men on a bridge.
Friends said Edwards, who never received counselling after his confrontation with Dahmer, had found relief in drugs and alcohol.

Dr Emily John, who worked with Edwards at a homeless project, told WISN: "I don't think a lot of people want to go to therapy to deal with pain.
"They'd rather self-medicate, and that's what Tracy does, and it leaves him in the street over and over again.
"I am hoping in an odd way that this is a good thing for Tracy. Maybe the judge will recognize that he needs some help."

Senate Tables Boehner 3.0 Bill. Where’s the compromise by Democrats?

The House last week passed Cap, Cut, and Balance with bi-partisan support. The Democrat controlled Senate tabled the bill without even the decency of having a debate.

Last night the House passed another bill that wasn’t as good as the first as far as truly addressing the financial woes of the country. And again the Senate tabled it without a debate.

Yet still the Democrats like Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin have the gall to accuse the GOP of not wanting to compromise.

What is the GOP controlled House supposed to do when they’re the only branch of government offering plan after plan while the Democrats are the ones refusing to deal seriously with our nations spending? It’s the Democrats with Presidents Obamam’s failed policy of super spending that has put us in this situation in the first place.

Could it be that the Democrats are actively forcing a financial collapse of the United States so they can offer up even more big government to fix it?

Sure looks lie it to me?


The Caucus, New York Times

The United States Senate quickly dispatched the debt ceiling bill passed by the House Friday evening, tabling the Republican bill indefinitely and moving quickly to start consideration of a Democratic plan that would avoid default on Tuesday.

Less than two hours after House Speaker John A. Boehner pushed his bill through the House over the strenuous objections of nearly two dozen of his own Republican members, the Democratic leadership in the Senate followed through on their promise to kill his legislation.

But the move now sets up an uncertain 72 hours as the Congress moves ever closer to the Tuesday deadline when the Treasury Department says the country will default on its financial obligations without an increase in the debt ceiling.

Mr. Reid said he intends to start the legislative clock ticking on Friday on a new plan to raise the debt ceiling. But Mr. Reid could wait until later in the evening on Friday to allow more time for negotiation throughout the evening.

'STRAIGHT' BISHOP EDDIE LONG: ANOTHER MAN COMES FORWARD

COMPLETELY STRAIGHT

REMEMBER "completely straight" mega-church pastor, Bishop Eddie Long who paid off four teenage boys, who he'd allegedly had relations with, rather than go court.
Well now it's emerged that a fifth young man, Centino Kemp has also confronted lawyers about his relationship with the pastor during the settlement negotiations.           
The 22-year-old, who has Long's name tattooed around his wrist along with the words, "Never a Mistake, Always a Lesson," did not officially file a lawsuit, but also got a payout.
A lawyer close to the case confirmed to WAGA TV  that Kemp was involved but claimed he was "different from the other young men" which made the case "more difficult."
Kemp told the station that he met the pastor during a visit to his megachurch when he was a teenager, but refused to comment further.Bishop Long is a father of four who has been an outspoken opponent of gay marriage, and his church has counseled gay members to become straight.
His empire was threatened in September when several men claimed he abused his spiritual authority and used cars, jewelry and cash to lure them into trysts when they were 17 and 18.

ORLANDO OR BRANDON NEMBHARD: WHO'S THE KILLER?

ORLANDO

BRANDON

IT really is a case of double trouble in one murder investigation as cops are unsure as to whether it was Orlando Nembhard or his twin brother Brandon committed murder.
Cops originally locked up Orlando for the murder of 19-year-old, Sir Xavier Brooks, who was gunned down outside Leonardo's DaVincci Code nightclub in Chandler, AZ.
But now he may be freed, after his bail was lowered from $500,000 to just $10k because prosecutor's are unsure as to which brother actually committed the crime, as both were at the scene of the murder on the night.
With no murder weapon or forensic evidence, Cops only have conflicting witness testimony to go on, so defense lawyers have argued that Orlando may be mistakenly identified.
A motion filed by his defense attorney this week read: "Conflicting descriptions were initially given by witnesses with some witnesses describing the defendant (by his clothing) as the shooter and others describing his twin brother as the shooter."
Jerry Cobb, the public information officer for the Maricopa County Attorney's Office seemed to agree that it was hard to tell them apart.

He said: "I can tell you that both look very, very similar. Any normal person seeing them side-by-side would see instantaneously that they're twins. With circumstances like these, it's easy to see how they could be confused.
"Witnesses at the incidents saw different things and have different ideas."
The victim's father, Ronald Brooks was furious at the lessened bond, telling KNVX: "I'm angry, very angry.
"Now that we're hearing this other story that maybe you know it's another brother or this brother or whatever brother it is, you know one of them did it."

CELINA CASS'S FATHER HAS 'VIOLENT, MENTALLY ILL PAST'

WITHOUT TRACE

MISSING 11-year-old Celina Cass's stepfather has a violent past, filled with allegations of criminal behavior and mental illness records reveal. Wendell Noyes, 47, was busted for threatening an ex-girlfriend back in 2003, after breaking into her home while she and her two children slept, picking up her mattress and slamming it down.
As a result of the 2003 attack, court records show that the 47-year-old was involuntarily committed after being diagnosed with schizophrenia.
At the time, Judge Richard Hampe ruled Noyes was incompetent to stand trial, writing that the man's mental illness created "a potentially serious likelihood of danger to himself and others."
Pretty Celina, 11, vanished without trace Monday, after last being seen playing on her computer at around 9pm, sparking a huge manhunt, around the small town of Stewartson, NH, which has just 800 residents and is just a mile away from the Canadian border.

There seemed to be no signs that she had either run away or of abduction or struggle as nothing was missing or disturbed in her room.
State Police, border patrol and FBI child abduction experts scoured the area Thursday, even sending agents as far as New York and Virginia.
Shannon Towles, who owns a mini-mart on Route 3, said her disappearance had shaken the town, saying: "It's creepy. Things like this don't happen here. I know that's kind of a tired phrase. I'm an overprotective mom as it is. Now it's going to be way worse." 
She added: "She's just a little girl and she's a nice little girl."

MONSTER DAD JOHN SKELTON'S TWISTED DREAMS

SHOCKING new revelations in the case of a Michigan man whose three sons have vanished filled a courtroom yesterday. Among them: dreams of the three missing boys near a dumpster; the trio in blankets clutching their toys as their dad drove away; his chilling search for the best way to break a neck. John Skelton has pleaded no contest in the disappearance of his three boys: Andrew, 9, Alexander, 7, and Tanner, 5. The boys vanished last Thanksgiving. He has still given no explanation as
to what happened to them, only that they were safely in the hands of a secretive child protection organization. Skelton has unloaded a truckload of conflicting stories on cops. These inconsistencies convinced detectives that the boys were, in fact, dead. He faces up to 15 years when he is sentenced in September. The boys mom sobbed throughout court.

The prosecutor's office said: "Members of the investigative task force and the Lenawee County Prosecutor's Office continue to actively pursue a final solution. We consider this just one more step toward everyone's goal of fully resolving this case."

FAMILY SUFFOCATED AME DEAL, 10, FOR TAKING POPSICLE

AME

FAMILY

THE TWISTED relatives of a ten-year-old locked her into a storage bin where she suffocated to death, because she stole a popsicle, cops say.
Ame Deal, was found dead after being padlocked into a storage container and being forced to spend the night into it.
Disgusted cops said the child was 4 feet, 2 inches tall and weighed just 59 pounds, while her tight fighting prison was less than 3 feet long, 14 inches wide and about a foot deep.
Phoenix Police Spokesman, Sergeant Trent Crump said: "This case has turned the stomachs of some of most seasoned detectives. This child died at the hands of those who were supposed to love and care for her."
Cops arrested the girl's elder cousin and her husband, Samantha and John Allen, both 23, on suspicion of first-degree murder after they confessed to locking the child in the storage container.

The girl's aunt and legal guardian, Cynthia Stoltzmann, and grandmoth Judith Deal, 62, were also  arrested on suspicion of child abuse and kidnapping Reuters reports.
Police said Stoltzmann, 44, had left the girl in the care of her daughter and son-in-law while she was out of the home.
But both the aunt and grandmother were accused of having abused the child in the past by confining her to the same hinged, plastic storage bin.
The Allens were ordered held in lieu of $1 million cash bond each, while bond was set at $500,000 each for Stoltzmann and her mother during an initial court appearance on Thursday. 

John Boehner's idiotic Debt Ceiling Bill suffers setback

I’ve been saying for weeks that the debt ceiling should not be raised-period.

If a person was a million dollars in debt, spends more money a year that he takes in, then says he’s going to cut 500,000, but not in one year, rather in 10 years as he continues to spend more as his income, a rationale assessment would be that the person is stupid.

This is exactly John Boehner’s plan that cuts spending over ten years as the country continues to spend more than it takes in year after year.

And we’re supposed to accept this as solving our financial problems? It doesn’t at all.

The Huffington Post

A Republican plan that would have hiked the nation's debt ceiling for only six months and left the country's spending captive to a "Super Congress" failed to advance in the House Thursday night, with Democrats and Tea Party-backed Republicans opposing the plan.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) had initially scheduled a 6 p.m. vote on his measure which, in addition to raising the debt ceiling, would have cut $915 billion in spending and set up a 12-legislator commission to compel another $1.8 trillion in reductions over 10 years. The vote was then postponed to later Thursday night, but House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced just before 10:30 p.m. that a vote would not occur until the following morning at least.

Boehner had already gone back and restructured his plan, after the Congressional Budget Office revealed Tuesday that it contained only $850 billion in cuts -- less than the plan put forth by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
But even after his plan was re-scored -- and he spent more than a day leaning on reluctant members -- Boehner was short at least three votes, sources said.

The Hill reported that the $17 billion in funding for Pell grants contained in the bill, added in part to lure some Democrats, was a major stumbling block for some members. And many Tea Party-backed Republican freshmen oppose any increase in the debt ceiling whatsoever.

Boehner and his leadership team worked for hours, but they were unable to salvage the bill and secure the votes, marking a stunning failure for a party leader on a crucial piece of legislation.

It was unclear if Boehner would try to bring the bill up again, or if the way was now clear for Reid to advance his plan, which would cut $2.2 trillion over ten years and raise the debt ceiling enough to last into 2013.

Both political parties are playing the people for suckers! Boehner needs to be kicked to the curb! We need cuts in spending, not a sham.

TEEN HOOPS FAKE GUERDWICH MORTIMER GETS THREE

WHO ARE YOU?

TO his pals he was 16-year-old hoops star called Jerry Joseph, who had been orphaned in the Haiti hurricane - but the reality was somewhat different.  
He was in fact 23-year-old Guerdwich Montimer, who is now going to prison, instead of taking up a college basketball career.
In a bizarre story, in which he took in everyone he met in Odessa, TX, including his coach at Permian High School, Danny Wright, who eventually took him to his family home in and looked after him.
He told people that he had herded goats on the Caribbean island, according to the Odessa American.
But his lie was eventually unraveled after he was spotted by a former coach in Florida, at a tournament.
Quite why he left the Sunshine State is unclear, but he landed himself in a whole lot of trouble in Texas, especially, after it emerged that, he had been doing more than seeing, some of the high school girls.
Prosecutor Bobby Bland says Montimer will have to register as a sex offender as well
He said in a release: “In this case the victim specifically requested that we make this offer.  Due to the high profile of this case, the victim has been through quite an ordeal, and requests the media respect her privacy.
"In this case justice was done, because any time Guerdwich Montimere goes anywhere else, he will have to register with the police and tell them ‘I am Guerdwich Montimere, I am in your city, and I am a convicted sex offender.’  He will never be able to do this again.”
After pleading guilty Wednesday to two counts of sexual assault of a child and three counts of tampering with government records, Mortimer was sentenced to three-years.

JEOPARDY FOR BURGLAR CHASED ALEX TREBEK

TREBEK

IT was double jeopardy for both a hotel burglar and game show host Alex Trebek, Wednesday when the game show host chased down a burglar, but ruptured his Achilles tendon in the process. 
The 71-year-old, who has presented 'Jeopardy' for over 25-years said he and his wife were sleeping when the thief broke into his San Francisco room and made off with cash, a bracelet and other valuables.   
Later as he hosted the National Geographic World Championship at Google headquarters in Mountain View he told the crowd: "At 2:30 yesterday morning, chasing a burglar down the hall. My Achilles tendon ruptured and I fell in an ignominious heap to the carpeting, bruising my other leg in the process."
San Francisco police Lt. Troy Dangerfield says 56-year-old old Lucinda Moyers was caught by a security guard at the hotel and arrested on suspicion of felony burglary and receiving stolen property.

Among the items stolen was one with sentimental value - a bracelet.
According to his mom, she gave her son the bracelet 20 years ago and he's been wearing it on the show every day since.
The cash and bracelet haven't been found but other items were recovered.
Dangerfield says officers found several items near the hotel ice machine.
Trebek is scheduled for surgery on Friday and is expected to be in a cast for six weeks.

SPACE CADET LISA NOWAK BOOTED FROM NAVY

SPACE CADET

SHE really was a space cadet - in fact she was a genuine astronaut. 
But after driving 1000 miles, wearing diapers so she wouldn't have to stop to attack her love rival, Lisa Nowak will never see the stars again after she was booted out of the Navy. 
Furious that that Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman  had started a relationship with former space shuttle pilot Bill Oefelein, a Navy commander, who she had also been seeing for two years, plotted her revenge. 
Armed with pepper spray canister found in the parking lot, a BB pistol, 4-inch hunting knife, a rubber mallet, rubber tubing, large garbage bag, she then drove to Orlando International Airport and lay in wait for her rival, who was flying in from Houston.
According to cops Shipman said that after arriving, she was aware of someone following her to an airport satellite parking area. When she got into her car, she heard running footsteps and quickly locked the door. Nowak slapped the window and tried to open the car door, asked for a ride, then started crying. 
Rolling down the window a couple of inches after which Nowak sprayed the pepper spray into the car, before Shipman drove off and called the cops. 
On November 10, 2009, Nowak agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to charges of felony burglary of a car and misdemeanor battery. 
She was sentenced to a year's probation. 
Almost immediately, she was dismissed from the astronaut corps and since then she has been working at the Chief of Naval Air Training station in Corpus Christi, TX. 
But now Top Navy brass said that she will be forced to retire with an 'other than honorable' discharge.

The discharge may affect Nowak's veterans' benefits and her pay grade was knocked down one rank.

Juan Garcia, the assistant secretary of the Navy for manpower and reserve affairs, said in a statement: "Capt. Nowak’s conduct fell well short of that expected of senior officers in our Navy and demonstrated a complete disregard for the well-being of a fellow service member." 

Oefelein and Shipman subsequently retired from the military and married Ocala.com reports. 

Nowak, who has been stationed in Corpus Christi, Texas, could not be reached for comment.

Topless Kelly Rowland has the seX Factor

The Sun

KELLY Rowland bares her body in an eye-popping photo shoot.

With a new album to flog, the X Factor judge has peeled off in a bid to spark interest.

Mind you, that's no bad thing.

Years of hard graft with a personal trainer have whipped the star into tip top shape.
She has toned up her lovely long limbs but maintained her luscious curves.

Yuk-Sandy McMillin Allegedly Kicked Out Of Walmart For Wearing A String Bikini

I’m sorry but I wouldn’t like to see that at Walmart if I was trying to shop either.

The Huffington Post

Walmart just lost what we imagine would have been a lifelong customer.

Sandy McMillin decided to take her bikini body to Eugene, Oregon's big box store to pick up some sour cream, chips and coffee creamer in 90-degree heat. And she told KVAL News that a Walmart employee approached her only several minutes into her shopping trip and gave her two options: put on a shirt or get out.

McMillin said, "I was horrified. I am embarrassed....It's wrong. If you don't like the way someone looks, don't look at them....I hadn't done anything obnoxious or outlandish."

If she doesn’t want to shop there anymore, I say that’s great!

Sarah Palin: Congressional Freshmen – For Such A Time As This

Sarah Palin on Facebook

Out here in proverbial politico flyover country, we little folk are watching the debt ceiling debate with great interest and concern. Today I re-read the open letter I wrote to Republican Freshman Members of Congress in November 2010, just days after they were ushered into office in an historic landslide victory due in large part to the activism of commonsense patriots who are considered part of the Tea Party movement. I respectfully ask these GOP Freshman to re-read this letter and remember us “little people” who believed in them, donated to their campaigns, spent hours tirelessly volunteering for them, and trusted them with our votes. This new wave of public servants may recall that they were sent to D.C. for such a time as this.

The original letter is pasted below, with added emphasis to certain passages that I feel are especially relevant to the current discussion.

All my best to you, GOP Freshmen, from up here in the Last Frontier.

Sincerely,

Sarah Palin

P.S. Everyone I talk to still believes in contested primaries


November 13, 2010

Welcome to all Republican Freshmen and congratulations!

Congratulations to all of you for your contribution to this historic election, and for the contributions I am certain you will make to our country in the next two years. Your victory was hard fought, and the success belongs entirely to you and the staff and volunteers who spent countless hours working for this chance to put government back on the side of the people. Now you will come to Washington to serve your nation and leave your mark on history by reining in government spending, preserving our freedoms at home, and restoring America’s leadership abroad. Some of you have asked for my thoughts on how best to proceed in the weeks and months ahead and how best to advance an agenda that can move our country forward. I have a simple answer: stick to the principles that propelled your campaigns. When you take your oath to support and defend our Constitution and to faithfully discharge the duties of your office, remember that present and future generations of “We the People” are counting on you to stand by that oath. Never forget the people who sent you to Washington. Never forget the trust they placed in you to do the right thing.

The task before you is daunting because so much damage has been done in the last two years, but I believe you have the chance to achieve great things.

Republicans campaigned on a promise to rein in out-of-control government spending and to repeal and replace the massive, burdensome, and unwanted health care law President Obama and the Democrat Congress passed earlier this year in defiance of the will of the majority of the American people. These are promises that you must keep. Obamacare is a job-killer, a regulatory nightmare, and an enormous unfunded mandate. The American people don’t want it and we can’t afford it. We ask, with all due respect, that you remember your job will be to work to replace this legislation with real reform that relies on free market principles and patient-centered policies. The first step is, of course, to defund Obamacare.

You’ve also got to be deadly serious about cutting the deficit. Despite what some would like us to believe, tax cuts didn’t get us into the mess we’re in. Government spending did. Tough decisions need to be made about reducing government spending. The longer we put them off, the worse it will get. We need to start by cutting non-essential spending.

That includes stopping earmarks (because abuse of the earmark process created the “gateway-drug” that allowed backroom deals and bloated budgets), canceling all further spending on the failed Stimulus program, and rolling back non-discretionary spending to 2008 levels. You can do more, but this would be a good start.

In order to avert a fiscal disaster, we will also need to check the growth of spending on our entitlement programs. That will be a huge challenge, but it must be confronted head on. We must do it in a humane way that honors the government’s current commitments to our fellow Americans while also keeping faith with future generations. We cannot rob from our children and grandchildren’s tomorrow to pay for our unchecked spending today. Beyond that, we need to reform the way Congress conducts business in order to make it procedurally easier to cut spending than to increase it. We need to encourage zero-based budgeting practices in D.C. like the kind fiscally conservative mayors and governors utilize to balance their budgets and reduce unnecessary spending.

There in the insulated and isolated Beltway you will be far removed from the economic pain felt by so many Americans who are out of work. Please remember that if we want real job growth, we must create a stable investment climate by ending the tidal wave of overly burdensome regulations coming out of Washington. Businesses need certainty – and freedom that incentivizes competition – to grow and expand our workforce.

The last thing our small businesses need is tax hikes. It falls to the current Democrat-controlled Congress to decide on the future of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. If it does not permanently renew all of them, you should move quickly to do so in the new Congress. It would remove from households and businesses the threat of a possible $3.8 trillion tax hike hitting all Americans at the worst possible moment, with our economy struggling to recover from a deep recession! You must continue to remind Democrats that the people they are dismissing as “rich” are the small business owners who create up to 70% of all jobs in this country!

Another issue of vital importance is border security. Americans expect our leadership in Washington to act now to secure our borders. Don’t fall for the claims of those who suggest that we can’t secure our borders until we simultaneously deal with the illegal immigrants already here. Let’s deal with securing the border first. That alone is a huge challenge that has been ignored for far too long.

On foreign policy and national security, I urge you to stick to our principles: strong defense, free trade, nurturing allies, and steadfast opposition to America’s enemies. We are the most powerful country on earth and the world is better off because of it. Our president does not seem to understand this. If we withdraw from the world, the world will become a much more dangerous place. You must push President Obama to finish the job right in Iraq and get the job done in Afghanistan, otherwise we who are war-weary will forever question why America’s finest are sent overseas to make the ultimate sacrifice with no clear commitment to victory from those who send them. You should be prepared to stand with the President against Iran’s nuclear aspirations using whatever means necessary to ensure the mullahs in Tehran do not get their hands on nuclear weapons. And you can stand with the Iranian people who oppose the tyrannical rule of the clerics and concretely support their efforts to win their freedom – even if the President does not.

You need to say no to cutting the necessities in our defense budget when we are engaged in two wars and face so many threats – from Islamic extremists to a nuclear Iran to a rising China. As Ronald Reagan said, “We will always be prepared, so we may always be free.” You will also have the opportunity to push job-creating free trade agreements with allies like Colombia and South Korea. You can stand with allies like Israel, not criticize them. You can let the President know what you believe – Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, not a settlement. And for those of you joining the United States Senate, don’t listen to desperate politically-motivated arguments about the need for hasty consideration of the “New START” treaty. Insist on your right to patient and careful deliberation of New START to address very real concerns about verification, missile defense, and modernization of our nuclear infrastructure. No New START in the lame duck!

You can stand against misguided proposals to try dangerous, evil terrorists in the US; precipitously close the Guantanamo prison; and a return to the failed policies of the past in treating the war on terror as a law enforcement problem. Finally, you have a platform to express the support of the American people for all those around the world seeking their freedom that God has bestowed within all mankind’s being – from Burma and Egypt to Russia and Venezuela – because the spread of liberty increases our own security. You, freshmen lawmakers, can and will be powerful voices in support of foreign policies that protect our interests and promote our values! Thank you for being willing to fight for our values and our freedom!

In all this, you should extend a hand to President Obama and Democrats in Congress. After this election, they may finally be prepared to work with Republicans on some of these issues for the good of the country. And if not, we will all be looking forward to 2012.

Remember that some in the media will love you when you stray from the time-tested truths that built America into the most exceptional nation on earth. When the Left in the media pat you on the back, quickly reassess where you are and readjust, for the liberals’ praise is a warning bell you must heed. Trust me on that.

I and most Americans are so excited for you. Working together, we have every right to be optimistic about our future. We can be hopeful because real hope lies in the ingenuity, generosity, and boundless courage of the everyday Americans who make our country exceptional. These are the men and women who sent you to Washington. May your work and leadership honor their faith in you.

With sincere congratulations and a big Alaskan heart,

Sarah Palin
