- Black days for Black
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Week of mixed fortunes for embattled ex-media tycoon Conrad Black. Prosecutors can’t add insider trading to the fraud charges but his old company has copped a plea and will spill the beans and all the juicy details of his wife’s lavish spending will be used as evidence.

  Conrad Black faces 95 years in jail plus heavy fines for plundering money out of Hollinger International when he goes on trial next month. Now his lawyers say prosecutors should leave his wife's over-the-top spending out of the case. Check her spending and judge for yourself.

- Big word ban for Conrad Black
  Posted by SoxFirst
  With Conrad Black’s fraud trial starting in March, his lawyer has banned him from using words of more than two syllables. All to make him come across as a regular sort of guy.

- Conrad Black shows his frugal side
  Posted by SoxFirst
  In his latest filing, disgraced media mogul Conrad Black says he is worried about his old company Hollinger is spending money on legal fees, and he seeks $20.6 million which he reckons the company owes him. He is also looking to hire jury consultants to help him come across as a regular sort of guy.

- Conrad Black's Christmas presents
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Just months before his fraud, racketeering and tax evasion trial begins, disgraced former media mogul Black is giving special Christmas presents to what's left of his friends. It's a T-shirt with Black's picture on the front above the words "CONRAD WILL WIN." Black signs the back of each shirt and inscribes a personal message to the recipient.

- Conrad Black: "Let them eat cake"
  Posted by SoxFirst
  The self-delusion of Conrad Black, who stands trial for multi-million dollar fraud next year and plundering Hollinger Interanational, continues. Now he compares himself to a French nobleman during the Revolution.

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.

Another dragging death in Texas raises tensions

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.
