- Early Christmas for Conrad Black?
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Is it an early Christmas present for Conrad Black? Facing the possibility of at least 15 years in jail, Black has won a 10-day postponement of his scheduled Nov. 30 sentencing. But the judge is making the case as appeal-proof as possible. Whatever she decides, it won't be a good Christmas for Conrad Black.

- Conrad Black finds God

  Looks like Conrad Black has now got religion. Facing the prospect of being thrown in the slammer for fraud and obstruction of justice, Black is turning to God. Well, it worked for Paris Hilton after she got in trouble with the law.

  More weird stories about Conrad Black. Unable to leave the United States, the convicted felon has taken to signing copies of his new book in Toronto. All done using digital and magnetic imaging technology.

- Conrad Black turns to comedy
  Posted by SoxFirst
  The pompous greed-head might be facing decades in jail, he might be barred from returning to the country of his birth, but convicted crook Conrad Black has shown he has an extraordinary ability to poke fun at himself, even appearing on television to do it.

- Conrad Black - still fighting
  Posted by SoxFirst
  He might be looking at a lengthy spell behind bars but Conrad Black's self-belief remains unshakeable. With his sentencing coming up in late November, Black resumed his column in the newspaper he created, claiming that he will triumph and vanquish his enemies.

Another dragging death in Texas raises tensions

I think as Obama continues to do well – we will see more and more crazy stuff perpetrated by 1% of 1% of the craziest of this country.

this happened about 40 miles from my home. . .it’s more proof that racism in this country is just as strong and virulent as ever; it’s merely sublimated. me, ah’m jes’ the po’ ol’ sonuvashahcroppah. . .but i remember a few things. . .
think about it. . .immigration was no problem, except in california in the early-mid 90’s. . .we laughed it off. . .and then came the big boogeyman: 911.
people got scared, as they always do. everyone who wasn’t white-~~and many who werewere targeted. and the most visible nonwhite population includes hispanic immigrants. fifteen years ago it was calculated that the southwestincluding texaswould be precominantly hispanic around this time.~~
since virtually no terrorists have been found~~none that can be proven as terrorists~~-nonwhites make great scapegoats. and the good old boy gets to indulge in all his racial fantasies. 911 allowed everyone to indulge their hidden racism. muslims. . .hispanics. . .blacks. . .
it won’t end for at least another 400 years. . .

Jail and no bail for Conrad Black

Hurray and halleluja!! It’s the DAY OF KARMAGEDDON for His Lardship. Let’s hope for his sake he still has enough of the stolen millions to pay someone else to pick up the soap for him if he drops it.

Charge reduced in 'Jena 6' case | Chicago Tribune

I don’t live there. I live in Las Vegas.

We have our own weird trials happening, or about to happen…that I’m sure will bring all sorts of misguided racial tension…as the last OJ trial did.

I’m not missing it. There’s racial tension here where I live…and everywhere else. It’s astounding. It doesn’t make any sense.

My point is…and it’s the last time I make it. You can’t take the law into your own hands and start beating the **** out of people because you don’t like their attitude.

Was hanging those ropes on that tree a possible hate-crime? yeah. Probably was. Did these six kids have the right to beat the white kid up because of it? I don’t blame them. But, it’s wrong. It’s against the law.
