Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act



President Bush has called for drilling in the Arctic Refuge by 2010 in his new budget proposal. Development in this habitat would threaten numerous animals, including polar and grizzly bears, wolves, caribou, migratory whales and many species of birds. The most urgent is to protect the polar bears.
Oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would do nothing to solve America's energy problems.

We need to permanently protect the Arctic Refuge. Please ask your Representative to support the Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act to permanently protect the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Congressman Ed Markey and Congressman Jim Ramstad introduced the
Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act. If this bill is passed, it would designate the 1.5 million acre Coastal Plain as wilderness.

Stop the possibility of oil drilling and protect the animals who would be affected by it.

Urge Congress to permanently protect the Arctic Refuge by signing the petition located here.

The Republican Convention

The Republican Party has practically cancelled the first day of their convention, and the other two days are iffy. This is out of respect for those in the path of Hurricane Gustav. Good plan. The President and Vice President won't be speaking, so the party a chance to distance itself from the duo. Senetor McCain spoke out against the way President Bush handled the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. And also it distances the party from the Bush White House war policy.

Caylee Anthony Update 31 August

About 175 people came out to aid Equusearch in the hunt for Caylee Anthony. They need more volunteers. But I think that the volunteers aren't showing up because they are turned off by the attitude of the Anthony family, not to mention Casey's non-cooperation.
And even though I think that Casey is where she belongs, back in jail. But I think that they should have allowed Jose Baez to turn her in. It probably cost them more than the $700 she is accused of stealing to arrest her. I think that they wanted to embarrass her, and to be seen by the press and public as doing something.
"It's frustrating, and it's scary that the government would throw out all the rules, ignore the Constitution, flex their power whenever they decide to and try to endanger the presumption of innocence," Baez told News 13. "This was all about trying to show that she is a bad person, and not about trying to find Caylee. You had the officers, who are homicide detectives, over here arresting her for an economics crime. People are smarter than that. People aren't as stupid as law enforcement thinks they are, with their leaks and their little shows. We need to get them focused on finding Caylee, not on creating little spectacles like this."
We don't need the police to show us that she is a bad person, everyone already knows that. I bet that deep down even her family knows that. And the homicide detectives probably came out because they are the ones who uncovered the deaths. And they are already dealing with her crimes.
And I wonder if her family will pay the debt she ran up on their credit card. Or will they report it as fraud to the credit card company. I think that the credit card company would make them go to police because they know who the thief is. And I doubt that it was really as high as $45,000, they don't look like they would have a credit limit that high. They didn't have enough assets to guarantee the $500,000 bond after all.
All that said, I did enjoy watching them lead her out in handcuffs.

Pantene Beautiful Lengths campaign

Pantene has started a great campaign called "Pantene Beautiful Lengths." Their campaign encourages people to grow, cut and donate their hair to create free, real-hair wigs for women who've lost their hair due to cancer.

Did you know real-hair wigs can cost as much as $1200 and are often only partially covered by health insurance?

Actress Hilary Swank started the Million-Inch Chain by donating 8 inches of her hair. Join her and Pantene and donate your hair so women who have lost theirs can have a free, real-hair wig.

There are 3 ways to get involved:
1. "Cut"- you're ready to donate an 8-inch ponytail.
2. "Pleadge"- you're growing it now and will cut later.
3. "Help"- help plan events, campaigns, and drives.

If you made the cut, go here for instructions where to send your donated hair.

Caylee Anthony Arrest


I was watching Nancy Grace when they arrested Casey, it actually happened on live television. About four black and white police cars pulled up to the house. And the host thought that it was to move protesters back. And then two unmarked police cars pulled up onto the lawn. They still thought that it was for the protesters. But police don't roll up like that for annoying protesters. I knew they were there to re-arrest her. I live in an area surrounded by what I like to call "ghetto", around here it referred to as the police rolling deep. And then they kept opening the door and peaking out and Casey was in the doorway. You could tell that they were looking to see if the police had moved the crowd out far enough to lead her safely to a waiting car. This is all police behavior I've seen driving to the grocery late at night. Police love to do perp walks.
I think that the big question is have they found Caylee's body. But one of the local news stations is reporting that she was arrested on fraud and theft charges. Guess we will have to wait for a press conference or release.

Casey Anthony Re-Arrested!

Casey Anthony was just led out of her home in handcuffs.

Casey Anthony's Bail Won't Be Revoked

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A bounty hunter who helped free the mother of a missing Florida toddler said Friday that he won't try to withdraw her bail after all.

Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla had said a day earlier that he would ask associates to revoke the $500,000 bail they posted for Casey Anthony, 22, last week. That would likely have forced her to return to jail.

He said he had concerns about the safety of Anthony and her family, but those concerns were being addressed after a meeting Friday with Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez. Both Padilla and Baez declined to discuss the concerns.

Police say Anthony is a person of interest in the disappearance of her daughter, 3-year-old Caylee, who hasn't been seen since mid-June. Casey Anthony didn't report her missing until July.

She faces charges of child neglect, obstruction and making false statements.

Padilla said after the meeting Friday that Anthony can remain free on bond as long as he is convinced she is safe.

Her family said freeing her on bond would help find Caylee.

But Padilla said Anthony has not been cooperating with efforts to find Caylee since her release from jail. There is a $225,000 reward for Caylee's return. Baez was in a meeting later Friday and could not be reached for comment on the allegation that Anthony is not being helpful.

Hopefully the police will arrest her soon. And I doubt that Padilla will be bailing her out a second time.

Child Murder Convicted

A Muskegon County jury Thursday afternoon found Marcus Tulenkun Bolden, 23, of 2216 Peck guilty of second-degree unpremeditated murder in the Feb. 1, 2004, death of 1-year-old Houston Curtis from a head injury. The jury deliberated a little more than five hours starting Wednesday, weighing the options of first-degree felony murder, second-degree or acquittal.

After the verdict was announced, Bolden's mother, Glenda Bolden, softly said to her son in court, "I know you been set up."

Then, at increasing volume, she called out, "Don't worry, Marcus, I got you. I have you. I'm gonna take care of you... They lied! All of 'em lied."

By contrast, family members of the baby were quietly relieved and grateful when interviewed a few minutes after the verdict.

"I finally got some closure," said Crystal Bell, Houston's mother. "I've been praying for four years: 'Keep me strong, keep me immensely strong to get through.'"

Her mother, Yvette Stuckey -- who often cared for little Houston while her daughter worked -- was also pleased with the verdict. "God is good," she said. "Justice has been done. ... We've been waiting four years for this day.

"We're sending out our prayers to Marcus' family," she added. "I just want them to know that."

"I'm extremely pleased that Bolden has been brought to justice," said Muskegon County Prosecutor Tony Tague. "A child paid with his life because of Bolden's jealous rage. We'll be seeking a significant prison sentence for his vicious taking of an innocent child's life."

Fourteenth Circuit Judge Timothy G. Hicks scheduled sentencing for 8:30 a.m. Sept. 26. Bolden could be sentenced to life or any term of years in prison, with eventual parole a possibility.

How do you set up someone who threw a toddler hard enough for him to die?

Bolden had recently begun dating Bell at the time of the baby's death. The injury happened the night of Jan. 30-31, 2004, in Bell's Merrill Avenue apartment, with only Bolden and Bell in the apartment at the time.

The case by Senior Assistant Prosecutor Dale J. Hilson at the five-day trial included medical testimony indicating Houston's head wound was no accident; Bell's testimony about her baby's final evening, leading up to her discovery of him lying on a bed at 2 a.m. Jan. 31 with a grossly swollen head and difficulty breathing; police testimony about Bolden's conflicting statements over the years; Bolden's written admission in March 2008 that he caused Houston's injury by throwing him down while angry at his crying, supposedly on a bed, causing the baby to bounce and strike a bedpost or the wall before falling on the floor.

Bell also testified that Bolden was angry that evening because she refused to get off the phone with the baby's father, a soldier then stationed elsewhere in the United States.

Ladies keep your children away from your new boyfriends. At least this poor woman is getting justice for her poor baby.

Is Cindy Anthony Crazy

"I got the car on the fifteenth of July,” Cindy Anthony said. “When they picked up from Amscot on the thirtieth of June there was no odor. (But what about the odor you said you smelled to the 911 operator?) That was 15 days later. I found rotten -- whatever it was -- something decomposing in there. Maybe someone put a body in the car after it went to the tow yard. Why don't you call them about their security?"
Cindy Anthony can't add. The car smells like death, her granddaughter is missing, and her daughter is lying, but she says maybe somebody at the tow yard put a body in the car. If she really believes her somebody should explain that 1+1 never equals 5.

McCain's Running Mate


Is John McCain going to choose the very likable Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate? Is he going to choose a woman when Obama did not. But it must be pointed out that Hillary Clinton is not very likable. Is he courting Hillary's angry voters? Is he choosing someone young to counter Obama's youth. And is he choosing someone for whom the abortion issue isn't just a concept, but something real that she lives with every day. Earlier this year Governor Palin gave birth to a baby with Down Syndrome because she held to her anti-abortion beliefs after receiving prenatal test results. Is he choosing someone from a working class family to counter his background? We will have to wait a couple of hours to find out.
Update: He picked her. Smart man. I think who ever is elected president, we will be better off.

Ohio Cheerleaders' Uniforms Violate Dress Code


A group of Ohio cheerleaders have been told not to wear their cheerleading uniforms to school on game day because they are too short and violate the school's dress code.

Monroe Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli told WLWT TV that cheerleaders were instructed to wear long shorts and T-shirts underneath their uniforms at a pep rally Friday.

"The skirts that the cheerleaders wear are very short, and they're very tight and they're slit so they can do the gymnastics that are required of a cheerleader," Lolli told WLWT.com.

Lolli said the skirts are allowed only during assemblies and games.

"You want to have students wear appropriate clothing during the educational period of the day, and then after school, wear the appropriate clothing for the event," she said.

The uniforms have not been an issue in previous years because the district's dress code was not specific on required length for shorts and skirts. The policy was clarified earlier this year, requiring that the bottom of shorts and skirts be no more than 3 inches above the knee.

Parent Becky Daniel said the school's dress code should not apply to cheerleader's uniforms.
"My daughter is a senior, this is her last year," Daniel told the station. "We paid for uniforms and they should be able to wear them on game day."

Why did the school let them order uniforms that violate school dress code? Didn't the squad have a staff advisor who knew that the uniforms would be an issue? It is traditional for cheerleaders to wear their uniforms game day most places. That uniform doesn't look any different than the uniforms worn at my son's school. But the cheerleaders should compromise, wear leggings under the skirts (if for no other reason than it's cold in the fall and winter).

This is Dennis Northcutt's ex, Sharri Henry right after she was beaten while four months pregnant. It just seems that she has a busted lip, but it looks like she was hit really hard. My question (because you know I always have questions) is what type of man would hit a woman, especially a pregnant woman? Maybe these pro athletes should stay home in the off season instead of flocking to Los Angeles and Vegas. It would probably keep them out of some trouble.

Caylee Anthony Update 29 August


Casey Anthony will more than likely be going back to jail on Saturday. Leonard Padilla is having the bond revoked. From his reaction in the last couple of days it seems like he actually believed Casey's story. He says it is for the safety of Casey and her family, but I think he is cutting his losses before things get too ugly. He isn't revoking the bond today so that she can meet with her attorney, Jose Baez. (And so that he can milk a few more days of publicity out of it.) I hope Baez is preparing Casey for her arrest on murder charges.
Investigators have offered Casey a limited immunity deal to lead them to Caylee. They can't use the specific information against her at trial. What the f**k? We all know she didn't accidentally kill that baby. And we all know that she lies more than she tells the truth. Why would they believe anything she tells them?
"I think she's dead," Padilla said. "I can't figure any body else that would be in the trunk deceased."
DNA results from the hair in Casey's trunk have come back, and it was Caylee's hair and it shows signs of decomposition. Will today be the day of Casey's re-arrest, or will police just wait for Padilla to revoke Casey's bond?

Almost 1000 Newborns Exposed To Tuberculosis

SAN FRANCISCO — Kaiser Permanente is telling 960 mothers that they and their babies may have been exposed to a San Francisco maternity ward worker diagnosed with active tuberculosis.

Kaiser announced it had started notifying patients Tuesday about the worker formerly employed in the postpartum unit of its San Francisco Medical Center.

The part-time employee worked at Kaiser from March 10 to August 10 and no longer works for the organization.

Kaiser learned of the employee's diagnosis last week and said the medical center followed all appropriate screening procedures when hiring the employee.

Kaiser's infectious disease chief in Northern California said the infection risk for patients was low and that the worker had a common strain of TB that responds well to antibiotics.

Maybe they should screen a little better. What if it had been a tougher strain of tuberculosis? If I was one of the parents I would be pissed. And what about all of the people who came to visit the new parents at the hospital? How are they to be warned?

Did Pro Football Player Have Pregnant Ex Beaten?

Never date football players, and never reproduce with them. They are bunch of guys who are used to being practically worshipped from the time they are children. That does not make good boyfriend potential. I read this over at TMZ.
A shocking lawsuit just filed ... a woman claims the father of her unborn baby -- an NFL star -- conspired to brutally beat her up.

Sharri Henry alleges last May, when she was four months pregnant, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dennis Northcutt got his cousin to "maliciously assault, beat, strike and batter Plaintiff, her face and head with great force and violence ... causing severe and permanent disfigurement to her face."

We've confirmed Henry filed a report with the LAPD for the incident that allegedly went down outside Falcon Club in Hollywood on May 17.

In the lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Henry alleges battery and conspiracy to commit assault. She's seeking unspecified damages.

BTW, Northcutt just inked a $17 million contract with his team.

UPDATE: IT JUST GOT CRAZIER. Northcutt's sports agent, Jerome Stanley, told TMZ, "This was nothing but a desperate shakedown by a jilted ex-girlfriend who is claiming to be pregnant with his child." Stanley says Henry is upset because Northcutt dumped her for another girl. As for the assault, Stanley says, "She verbally antagonized the guy who hit her." He says Northcutt knew nothing about the attack until after it happened.

Henry's lawyer, Loyst P. Fletcher, just gave TMZ the following statement: "Mr. Northcutt and his entourage, which included his current girlfriend, were apparently angry that Ms. Henry refused to abort a child that she believed he fathered. Words were exchanged and a member of that entourage, whom we believe is Mr. Northcutt's cousin, viciously attacked Ms. Henry." She's now 7 months pregnant.

Of course he would want her to get an abortion. That way he doesn't have to pay child support. Don't these girls who try to get pregnant by players ever remember Cherica Adams. She was Rae Carruth's baby mama. He had her killed to avoid the child support.

Caylee Anthony Update 28 August


The chickens are coming to roost. Proof of human decompostion has been found in the car of Casey Anthony. I wouldn't be surprised if an arrest in the case was coming soon. Casey met with representatives from the States Attorney office. They are offering her a deal if she tells them where Caylee is. She better snap it up. Florida has the death penalty. They really can't believe that Casey accidentally killed her daughter. Those pictures aren't of a mother who trying to hide a shameful secret. Those are pictures of a mother happy to be free of responsibility.
For all those who want to read the 431 pages of discovery documents here is the link. The file is huge, 21.62MB. I'm reading it, and will post about the interesting parts.
One of the documents is Caylee's birth certificate. A big deal has been made of there being no father's name on the birth certificate. In California you have two options if you don't want to add a father's name, unknown and withheld. And if even if the name isn't on the birth certificate, the father has legal rights. So she may actually know who the father is, and just isn't telling. But she was dating four different guys while Caylee was missing, so she may not know.

Jenna Jameson has confirmed that she is pregnant. How do you explain being a porn star (and not just any porn star, "the" porn star) to you kids? Some day in the future this poor kid is going to be teased and bullied because of something that the mother used to do. The only chance that this poor kid has is if it's mother never goes to his or her school. The nanny or daddy will have to drop it off always. I'm not saying that it's right. She may be a great mother, but it's going to be hard for for people to forget what she used to do. If she was a lesser known porn star, she could pretend that it wasn't her. But she is the most famous porn star. I'm not saying that it is right, because it isn't. But everyone one knows I'm telling the truth.

Caylee Anthony Update 27 August


Just when I think that the Casey Anthony fiasco has started to wane, there is a new bombshell or ten.
Let me start by saying that I used to feel sorry for George and Cindy Anthony. But then I found out that Casey wanted to give Caylee up for adoption and Cindy talked her out of it. She knew that Casey was a selfish liar, and she still talked her out of the adoption. Casey knew she wasn't ready to be a parent and tried to do what was best for her unborn child. And now Caylee is more than likely dead. If Caylee is dead I hope she hope that she haunts her grandmother every night because all of this could have been prevented by that adoption.
A Orange County deputy has been fired for lying about his relationship with Casey. He told investigators that he barely knew Casey, but it turns out that Anthony Rusciano was telling tales. Investigators uncovered the truth during a forensic search of Casey's computer. There were many chats pointing to a sexual relationship between the two. Here is a link to a sheriff's department memo about the lying.
During the time before Casey reported her daughter missing, Casey was allegedly dating four men.
And the people at the company that towed the car from the check cashing place told the police that the car smelled like a car that a man committed suicide in.
Cindy Anthony told one of her daughter's friends not to believe anything Casey said because she was a sociopath. She told another friend that Casey used the routing number off a birthday check to steal from her grandmother. But this was after Casey had already emptied the friend's account.
On 3 July Cindy Anthony posted this message on MySpace (it has since been deleted): She came into my life unexspectedly, just as she has left me. This precious little angel from above gave me strength and unconditional love. Now she is gone and I don’t know why. All I am guilty of is loving her and providing her a safe home. Jealousy has taken her away. Jealousy from the one person that should be thankfull for all of the love and support given to her. A mother’s love is deep, however there are limits when one is betrayed by the one she loved and trusted the most. A daughter comes to her mother for support when she is pregnant, the mother says without hesitation it will be ok. And it was. But then the lies and betrayal began. First it seemed harmless, ah, love is blind. A mother will look for the good in her child and give them a chance to change. This mother gave chance after chance for her daughter to change, but instead more lies more betrayal. What does the mother get for giving her daughter all of these chances? A broken heart. The daughter who stole money, lots of money, leaves without warning and does not let her mother now speak to the baby that her mother raised, fed, clothed, sheltered, paid her medical bills, etc. Instead tells her friends that her mother is controlling her life and she needs her space. No money, no future. Where did she go? Who is now watching out for the little angel?"
On 7 July Casey posted this reply (also deleted):
"On the worst of worst days, remember the words spoken
Trust no one, only yourself.
With great power, comes great consequence.
What is given can be taken away.
Everyone Lies.
Everyone Dies."
Caylee was missing when both of these messages were written. It sounds like Cindy suspected that her daughter had done something to her granddaughter. And if anyone believes that Caylee is still alive they just need to read that response.
And after reading the 400 page document Leonard Padilla is saying that he wouldn't have bailed Casey out of jail. What? The lies reported from the beginning weren't enough to point toward lying.

Back To School


My boys went back to school yesterday. And I can't wait until the end of the school year. I have two kids in two different school. I drop off the oldest, then drive home and walk the youngest to school. Then in the afternoon I do it all over again. It's chaos. And I have to avoid the Booster Club Moms because I'm not joining that cult again.
I much rather deal with the noise they make (and they may be the loudest children in existence), than deal with the traffic at the high school. Teenagers aren't the worlds greatest drivers.
This is my youngest son's back to school outfit. He's chosen those light up Transformer's shoes three times in a row. For a pair of cheap shoes ($17.99) they hold up really well. The lights still work on all three pairs, and he's never actually worn out a pair. I hate that he loves them so much, but I don't have to wear them. They can be purchased at Target.
There isn't a picture of my oldest because he doesn't let me take pictures. I have to stalk him like I'm the paparazzi.

Charlie Sheen Reproduces Again


Charlie Sheen and wife, Brooke Mueller are having their first baby together. This will be Charlie's Sheen's fourth child. He has an adult daughter and two young daughters with crazy Denise Richards. I can't wait to see what that Fruit Loop has to say. I bet she goes back to court in the next few months. Or she will find a way of keeping Sam and Lola away from their new sibling.
But you have to wonder about any woman who has a baby with Charlie Sheen. Denise Richards seemed sane before Charlie. You gotta wonder how he drove her crazy. And the best predictor of someone's future behavior is past behavior. Some people aren't meant to get married, and maybe Charlie is one of them. Drug abuse, woman beating (he was convicted of battery against BrittanyAshland), paying prostitutes, dating porn stars, and he shot Kelly Preston in the arm while they were engaged (it was an accident) do not make great husband material.
Let the freak fest surrounding the future Baby Sheen begin.

The Endangered Species Act

For 35 years the Endangered Species Act has protected plants and animals that are on the brink of extinction. Unfortunately, the Bush Administration wants to change the act. They are targeting the important Section 7 of the act. As of now, Section 7 has independent experts reviewing projects. Currently federal agencies need to consult with the National Marine Fisheries Service or Fish and Wildlife to determine whether a project would affect species and/or its habitat.

If the Bush Administration has its way, no experts would be involved in reviewing new projects. Instead, certain federal agencies such as the Department of Transportation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the Office of Surface Mining would have the authority to review projects and let the projects procede. They would be doing this without consulting important independent biologists or botanists who are experts in this type of decision making. In other words, the Bush administration wants federal agencies to decide for themselves whether highways, dams, mines and other construction projects might harm endangered animals and plants.

It is ridiculous that agencies whose missions are building roads and leasing land and waters for mines and oil drilling will have the power to assess the environment. Their main concern will not be the endangered animals and plants. Their main concern is money, building, and doing anything possible to fulfill their selfish goals.

1,353 animals and plants in the U.S. are listed as threatened or endangered. We need to protect them.

Caylee Anthony Update 26 August


Casey went in for a home confinement meeting today. She managed to pass a drug test. So she gets to stay at home.
ButCasey Anthony is already screwing up on house confinement. She couldn't make it back to her house from her lawyer's office on time Friday. Orange County spokesman, Allen Moore, said she will be forgiven this one time. They should have snatched her butt up so fast and taken her back to jail. Then they should have laughed in Leonard Padilla's face.
"We won't be doing this again," Moore said of the incident.
And now that Casey has made a fool of him by keeping quiet and not bringing him into her inner circle, Padilla has a new theory. He thinks she left Caylee with friends or her boyfriend's relatives in an effort to re-establish herself and her daughter. Would that be the boyfriend that seemingly wants nothing to do with her crazy butt. If she was doing that don't you think she would have produced the child instead of everyone whispering that she is a murderer. Or the friends would have turned Caylee over so that they don't end up spending time in jail for lying to police.
Padilla thinks that the little girl is safe because her mother is not concerned.
“She’s not concerned,” he told reporters. “You’ve seen her. Her demeanor is that of a parent who knows her child is safe.”
Casey is not concerned because she knows that her daughter probably won't be coming home. And she gets to make her parents suffer as an added bonus. Casey is a selfish, habitual liar. That is why she isn't concerned.
The family spokesman is also saying that Casey is giving her family and lawyer lots of information. If that information would lead to the safe return of Caylee why not turn it over to police. It's not like when she was jail, and the police were releasing tapes from visits before the family was out the jail door.
And police released over 400 pages of interviews with friends and family members. Some of the things that the documents said:
In the documents there is a lot of finger-pointing between Anthony and her parents, George and Cindy Anthony.

In an interview with detectives, Anthony's boyfriend, Tony Lazarro, said she moved in with him because she said her parents were having some sort of huge dispute, and she didn't want Caylee to be in the house while that was happening.

Another friend told detectives that Casey's mother, Cindy, told him not to believe anything Anthony said, calling Anthony a sociopath.

After checking in with her program manager, Casey again sprinted from reporters and questions.

A friend of Anthony's, Ryan Pasley, told investigators he did hear Anthony talk about a nanny, but she never used the name Zenaida. He remembered the babysitter's name being Jenny, Krista or Kristen.

Pasley told investigators he thought Anthony made up the name of her alleged babysitter Zenaida Gonzales, but, based on his long time friendship with Anthony, he said he does not think she is the type of person who would willingly kill her daughter.

Another interview with the 431 pages of evidence was given by Anthony's friend, Kiomarie Cruz.

According to the document, when Anthony found out she was pregnant, she told Cruz she wanted to give the baby up for adoption. Later, Anthony called Cruz back and said her mother, Cindy, convinced her not to give up the child even though "she really didn't want to have the baby."

Cruz also told investigators she was concerned Anthony was capable of giving Caylee up for adoption and not telling anybody -- or worse -- just giving her daughter to someone.

The Anthony's neighbor Brian Burner told detectives Anthony borrowed a shovel. He also noticed her car backed in to the garage during the week of June 16, the last day Caylee was seen.

And Tony Padilla, the bail bondsman, seems to be a normal guy who was just dragged into this by his uncle.

Nerys Price Update


 Update: Simon Morris was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the beating of his then pregnant girlfriend, Nerys Price. Simon was having an affair and was hoping to benefit from Nerys' death.

I guess Welsh police don't believe in that person of interest crap. They have arrested the father of Nerys Price's baby daughter. Police aren't saying what his motive is. Let's see how long it takes for a secret girlfriend to come out of the woodwork. I thought that this sounded very Scott Peterson when I first read reports of the crime.

The partner of heavily pregnant woman attacked in her own home is being quizzed on suspicion of her attempted murder.
Detectives arrested 36-year-old Simon Morris on Saturday night, just over a week after Nerys Price, 35, was hit with a blunt weapon in what at the time was described as a botched burglary.
Mr Morris also suffered injuries to his back in the incident at their home in Calthorpe Drive, Prestatyn on August 15.

Ted Kennedy At The Convention


I hope everyone saw Ted Kennedy speak at the convention. Everyone speaks about his brothers, and their legacy. But Ted Kennedy has done more to make America a better place than any of his brothers. Yes, they gave their lives for this country. But deaths rarely move the world forward, they are like dreams frozen in time. The Kennedy Legacy is what Ted Kennedy has done for this nation. It is all those years in the Senate trying to make America a nation of equals.

Products I'm Loving 25 August



My son's Chrome backpack. I've blogged about it before. But since he is returning to school today I thought I would write about how it stood up to wear and tear. This thing is brilliant. There is no wear at the bottom, the seams are all still strong, and it is in like new condition. The fact that his backpack was able to hold six high school text books without falling apart is wonderful. And it holds a ton of other stuff with room left over. I really think this will be his last backpack, unless I buy a smaller one. Because the thing is super sized. So if you buy one, buy it a size smaller, the Ranchero. $120-$160.

Hi everyone!
It's been a long time since I have updated this blog. But I want to restart. I hope my posts will be helpful and informative to you. Most of all, I hope they encourage you to make some change in the world.

Arrest In Pregnant Woman Beating

Welsh police arrested a 36 year old local man in the home invasion beating of Nerys Price. He is being charged with attempted murder.
Price who was weeks from delivering her first child, was in her bed when someone broke into her home and beat her in the head.
Her partner, Simon Morris, better be glad they don't live in the US. The police would have declared him a person of interest by now, and they would be looking into every detail of their relationship.

Faith Evans: Brawler


Faith Evans is the woman Shanna Moakler aspires to be. None of that slapping, hair pulling nonsense for her. Here is what she wrote about finding Little Kim in bed with Biggie:
"I grabbed some chick out of the bed and started beating her ass. At some point, the chick's wig came off in my hand: It was a short, cropped wig. I stopped throwing punches for a minute to get a good look at the chick I was beating up. It Lil' Kim. She was completely butt-naked, yelling as I pushed her around the room. 'So you're not fucking her, right?' I screamed at Big. 'Yeah, you not messing with her anymore right?'"
Shanna needs to stopped slapping and start throwing punches.

Caylee Anthony Update 25 August

Casey went to her lawyer's office on Friday. She has to prepare for her trial. Because she's going to go to jail. It may not be for murder, but it will still be prison. Remember those child endangerment charges, oh and the lying to police. So sooner or later it is off to jail she will go. Does she really think that any jury is going to listen to how she "conducted" her month long search before her mother went to police and not convict her. And Padilla boasted that he could get information on Caylee's whereabouts in a week. Well it's day three. What happened? Jose Baez won't let Casey talk to him. She's had her shower, painted her nails, and spent time on the couch...when is she going to give up the information that leads to Caylee's safe return. And how come nothing ever comes of the "tips" that the Anthony family are getting at their home and on their cell phones?
And somebody should tell Leonard Padilla that drug dealers and such don't take kids as collateral on debts in real life. Kids are too much upkeep. You have to feed them, bathe them on occasion, and entertain them.
Caylee may be dead. Caylee may never be found. And Casey may never spend a day in jail for her murder. But she will always be shunned as a murderer. Sooner or later her family will wake up and see through the lies. Then she will share the fate of Lizzie Borden, sentenced to a lifetime alone because everyone knows what a jury did not.

Bad Mommy Update

I have a tummy ache from too much junk food. And I wish somebody would have told me that frappuccino was just fancy talk for milkshake. Because I would have skipped the Starbucks at Target and went to McDonalds on the way home and bought the biggest milkshake they had.
