Girl Who Threw Puppies In River Found by Police

Bosnian Police believe they have identified a young girl shown in a video throwing six puppies into a raging river thanks to information provided by animal rights groups. The graphic video caused worldwide outrage when it went viral earlier this week.

According to The Huffington Post:

Police in the central Bosnian town of Bugojno said Friday they have found the girl they suspect is seen on the video killing six newborn puppies by throwing them into the river one by one.

Police say they have located the girl, who is a juvenile, from leads given by animal protection groups in the country.

The girl’s parents will soon be questioned, police said. Under recently adopted animal protection law, people can be fined up to euro5,000 ($6,400) for cruel treatment of animals.

A fine? Are you kidding me? The only justice in this case would be to strip her naked, bind her hands and legs, then throw her into a raging river.  If she survives then throw her into jail for a few years. Anything less is criminal.

Hilarious: Chinese Animation of Chilean Miners, Complete with Karaoke and Hot Tub (video

The Chinese love their news via animation, and unlike Americans, aren’t big on drama and sensationalism. They prefer a softer, more entertaining news. Watch this hilarious animation broadcast on Chinese news about the trapped Chilean miners. You would think the miners are experiencing a better life than they had in the real world.

My personal favorite is the Starbucks cafe, treadmills, hot tub with sex-starved girls and karaoke.

Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern: Gays Worse Than Terrorists (video)

Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern has long made her anti-gay views known. But this time she’s dug herself into a hole when she tried to clarify an earlier claim that gays are worse than terrorists. Kern’s homophobic statement comes during a heated campaign against challenger Brittany Novotny, Oklahomas’s first transgendered political candidate.

Kern in a statement to a local FOX affiliate KOKH said:

“Here in America we’ve had what maybe three known real big terrorist attacks on our nation, but every day our young people especially, all of us, but our young people especially are in a sense bombarded with the message that homosexuality is normal and natural.”

Watch the video here.

Odd: 2-Year-Old Baby Smokes Two Packs Per Day (video)

Video of a 2-year-old baby in Indonesia, who has been smoking up to 2 packs-a-day, has sparked controversy on the web and forced authorities to investigate the parents for child abuse. The boy’s father claims that his son is healthy and has recently completed a stint in rehab to kick the habit.

It would be funny (and I admit I did chuckle at the sight of it) if it were not so tragic. Of course, Jimmy Kimmel decided to weigh in on the controversy with some helpful advice.

Here’s Jimmy Kimmel’s take:

D.C. Cabs: Half Pass Up Blind People with Guide Dogs

A new study by a civil rights watchdog group in Washington D.C. found that cab drivers drove past blind people with guide dogs up to 50% of the time.

According to a Washington Post article:

The Equal Rights Center, in a report released Wednesday morning, said that it conducted 30 tests this year and that in half of them, drivers passed someone with a guide dog to pick up a person who did not have a guide dog. In three of the cases in which the taxi stopped for the blind person, the driver attempted to impose a surcharge for transporting the dog, the Equal Rights Center said.

Under local and federal law, businesses, including taxis, must make reasonable accommodations to blind people and their service dogs and may not impose surcharges for transporting a service dog. But blind people in the District have complained for years that some taxi drivers flout the law.

Feds Sue AZ Sheriff In Civil Rights Probe

The Civil Rights unit of the U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Thursday for refusing to turn over arrest records and related documents in the department’s ongoing probe on civil rights abuses.

The lawsuit claims that Sheriff Arpaio and the Maricopa County sheriff’s office has acted in an “unprecedented” fashion by refusing to provide documents that may show whether his department’s traffic sweeps violated the civil rights of Hispanics and if he mistreated prisoners in his custody.

Sheriff Arpaio has received national attention for forcing inmates to work on chain gangs, wear pink jumpsuits,  live outdoors in tent barracks, unconstitutional searches and seizures, and enforcing English-only policies in his jails.

Arpaio accuses the Justice Department investigation of political motivation.

Rachel Maddow on Haley Barbour’s ‘New Fake History of the South’ (video)

Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi is trying to rewrite the history of the United States. In Barbour’s mind, the Republican party is the champion of desegregation, and the 60s were some kind of integrated paradise. This attempt to collectively forget the past, to ignore the scourge of racism and its cost, and replace it with one that won’t nag on Southerner’s conscience is despicable. Barbour is a fraud, or worse.

You get ‘em Rachel (and guest Eugene Robinson.)

The United States of Star Wars (image)

Rogue Leader’s Wedge Antilles has made a fabulously awesome map of the United States that replaces each state with a planet from the Star Wars galaxy. This shows some serious geek dedication, which just makes me so happy.

She also lists all the planets and their corresponding states for those who can’t recognize them by sight. Her choices are pithy and sometimes hysterical. I think my favorites are Arizona as Korriban, Texas as Kessel, and South Carolina as the Death Star. Hilarious! As for my home state of Louisiana? Ord Mantell, which is a bit of a miss. There isn’t a mountain (and hardly even a hill) anywhere in sight across the state. Oh well, it still rocks!

Jan Brewer Yanks Advertising From CBS Affiliate Over Ongoing Investigation

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has pulled all her campaign advertisements from a local CBS affiliate in retaliation for an ongoing investigation into a possible conflict of interest over her support for the notorious “papers please” anti-immigration bill HB1070. Several advisors on Brewer’s staff have connections to the Corrections Corporation of America, a company that owns and operates private prison facilities in Arizona and elsewhere. The corporation stands to profit handsomely from victims of the anti-immigration bill championed by Brewer.

When the Rachel Maddow Show inquired as to why the ads were pulled, the Brewer camp admitted that it was due to “aggressive reporting” by the CBS affiliate KPHO-TV in Phoenix.

There is no reason for Brewer to object to an independent investigation if she has nothing to hide. And honestly, who would admit to such a petty attempt to chastise a company for airing a bit of unfavorable news? Thin-skinned Jan Brewer is who. Let’s hope voters in Arizona send that spiteful old fraud packing come election time, as a prelude to overturning that shameful law.

And kudos to KPHO-TV for their hard work. Now they have confirmation that they are on to something. We will watch closely for what the investigation turns up.

(From The Rachel Maddow Show)

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Botches Debate, Avoids Press on Beheading by Illegals (video)

Governor Jan Brewer (R-AZ) is one tea bag short of a full kettle. In last night’s gubernatorial debate, she showed just how incompetent and uninformed she is about real issues, tripping on her tongue and failing to express even the most basic thought.  Following the debate, Brewer avoided the press when asked about her false claim that illegal aliens beheaded people in her state.

Here’s the video of her opening statement during the debate:

’8: The Mormon Proposition’ Documentary Profiles Big Mormon Money Behind Prop. 8 (video)

The legal battle over the constitutionality of California’s proposition 8 measure, designed to deny homosexuals the right to marriage, is on its way to a Supreme Court showdown. But you might not be aware that prop 8 was spearheaded and heavily financed — in the millions — by the Mormon Church.

The documentary 8: The Mormon Proposition is now out on DVD and is a must-see for all who wish to inform and educate themselves about this issue.

Film Synopsis:

Director Reed Cowan initially planned on making a documentary about gay teen homelessness and suicide in Utah but soon realized that the homophobia that prompts otherwise loving parents to kick teenagers out of their homes is deep-seated in current Mormon ideology. Cowan, with his fellow filmmakers, experienced first-hand what it was like to grow up gay in Utah in the Mormon faith, then turned their attention to the historic campaign by the Mormon Church to pass Proposition 8 in California believing that it was the cornerstone of an ideology that has worked for decades to damage gay people. The film is their emotional outcry to what they found.

Man Tasered By Police in His Own Home (video)

This disturbing video from Marin County, California shows Peter McFarland being tasered three times by police as he laid on the floor of his living room. McFarland and his wife were returning to their home one evening when he fell on the stairs. An ambulance came and helped him inside, when the sheriff showed up. They came into his home for no apparent reason and insisted on taking him to the hospital. When he refused, then began to taser him again and again as he screamed in pain on the floor.

The arrogant abuse of power by police just makes my blood curdle. As citizens we must maintain constant vigilance over those we entrust with protecting us, or they will quickly abuse that power to serve their own malicious ends. Cops think since they have a badge and a gun, they are above the law. They are not.

Students Arrested After Protests at University of New Orleans

Two UNO students were handcuffed and arrested by campus police yesterday after a protest supposedly got out of hand. At least one student was sprayed with mace, and the campus police chief had to be taken to the hospital for injuries he sustained to his ankle. Eyewitnesses and video footage seem to contradict the account of the police chief, who said he was punched and dragged down the stairs. Those present say he is lying.

Institutions of higher education are under assault in Louisiana, thanks to budget cuts and appropriation reductions championed by Governor Bobby Jindal, who is trying to kill the public university system in the state. After slashing nearly a quarter of the budget, Jindal announced even more cuts, to the tune of nearly 38%. Complicating matters is the impending expiration of hundreds of millions of dollars provided by the federal stimulus package.

If something is not done to stop the lunacy of the Jindal administration, drastic changes will have to be made at UNO, including the reduction of the number of teachers and higher class sizes. But the greatest upheaval will come with the restructuring of campus departments, which may result in the elimination of majors in fields such as management, marketing, English, science, mathematics and social studies.

These changes will devastate the university, the students, and the entire city of New Orleans. Thanks to the protestors for expressing our collective outrage, and for representing all of us students whose education and future are in limbo.

(More from the official protest website OccupyLA with photos and links to video clips)

UPDATED: Oil Rig (Platform) Explosion Near Grand Isle, Louisiana (video)

Updated at 1:45 pm CDT – (From MSNBC) – GRAND ISLE, La. — A mile-long sheen is now visible where an offshore petroleum platform exploded and burned Thursday off Louisiana, the Coast Guard said.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Bill Coklough said the sheen, about 100 feet wide, was spotted near the platform owned by Houston-based Mariner Energy Inc.

No one was killed in the explosion, which was spotted by a commercial helicopter flying over the site Thursday morning.

All 13 people aboard the rig were found floating in the water in survival gear, Coast Guard spokesman Chief Petty Officer John Edwards said.

The platform was in about 340 feet of water, considered shallow water and far less than the roughly 5,000 feet where BP’s well spewed oil and gas for three months after an April rig explosion.

The crew were rescued from the water by an offshore service vessel, the Crystal Clear, and taken to a nearby platform, said Coast Guard Cmdr. Cheri Ben-Eisai.

All were being flown to a hospital in Houma to be checked over. Ben-Eisai said one person was injured, but Mariner Energy said there were no injuries.

This is a developing story and we will have more details as they are available.

10 Highest-Paid CEOs Who Laid Off Employees

In the current atmosphere of fat cat industrialists padding their own pockets while squeezing the working class into extinction, a new study outlines the highest-paid CEOs who were leaders in laying off employees to protect their own obscene wealth.

The Institute for Policy Studies in their 17th annual Executive Excess study, proves once again that there’s profit in sending hardworking employees to the ranks of the unemployed. The study also reveals that 36 of the 50 layoff leaders “announced their mass layoffs at a time of positive earnings reports,” proving once again that these fat cats are “squeezing workers to boost profits and maintain high CEO pay.”

The top 10 fat cats are:

Fred Hassan — Shering-Plough
Total Compensation 2009: $49,653,063
Announced Annual Layoffs (11/1/08-4/1/10): 16,000

William Weldon — Johnson & Johnson
Total Compensation 2009: $25,569,844
Announced Annual Layoffs (11/1/08-4/1/10): 8,900

Mark Hurd — Hewlett Packard
Total Compensation 2009: $24,201,448
Announced Annual Layoffs (11/1/08-4/1/10): 6,400

Robert Iger — Walt Disney Co.
Total Compensation 2009: $21,578,471
Announced Annual Layoffs (11/1/08-4/1/10): 3,400

Palin and Beck Planning 9/11 Party in Alaska

The Murdoch-Koch-Fox News-fueled divisive train keeps on rolling with news that Sarah Palin and (Rev.?) Glenn Beck will join together in Alaska for a rally on the 9th anniversary of 9/11. Obviously, “reclaiming the civil rights movement” isn’t enough, now the self-serving duo want to reclaim the 9/11 anniversary for their own pocketbooks.

In an article on Salon.com, Alex Pareene writes:

Glenn Beck mentioned on his radio program today that he would be speaking in Alaska, with Sarah Palin, “a week from Saturday.” He didn’t mention that a week from Saturday is 9/11, because Glenn Beck forgot about 9/11.

There has been speculation among bloggers and the media that Palin would take the 9/11 event as an opportunity to announce her candidacy for the Presidency in 2012. But that most certainly would be an obscene gesture that her most rabid followers would find difficult to stomach.
