      Why I'm Boycotting The Emmys

      Posted by adrienneanderson from Now Public

      It was such an ugly demise to an intense drama set on Baltimore, Maryland's tough, inner-city streets -and, no, I'm not talking about the shocking deaths of two of Baltimore's most notorious criminals. I'm talking about the ugly, dismissive and undeserving omission of HBO 's incredibly taut series, The Wire , from 60th Primetime Emmy® Award nominations!

      Local Sharpened spikes at Green Lake

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times

      A handful of spikes - metal rods roughly 2 or 3 feet long - were found Sunday night by a man wading near the boating center at the south end of the lake. After he alerted city parks staff, Seattle police divers on Monday found 39 spikes buried in the lake bottom, with sharp points sticking up.

    • It was oil all along

      Posted by Damianmann from Consortiumnews

      Oh, no, they told us, Iraq isn't a war about oil. That's cynical and simplistic, they said. It's about terror and al Qaeda and toppling a dictator and spreading democracy and protecting ourselves from weapons of mass destruction.

    tiger-I agree totally, but if our elected reps in D.C. won’t move to impeach over a treasonous act such as outing a CIA operative, this latest revelation will wind up being swept aside by the corporate media for more up-to-the-minute report on "American Idol". Sad, isn’t it?-watching what once was considered the greatest country on the face of the planet; sink to the depth of a local banana republic. Hey cheer up, can’t wait til next weeks revelation of corruption within this Bush Cabal reaches the light of day!!!!!!

    This is not only impeachable but downright criminal. Come on Congress do your duty!

    Jackie…

     

    There’s gotta be a better way than MORE government involvement.

     

     

    Although, it would be kind of fun if Juniour declared a war on it.

    when the cops caught the guy he picked up to go see the body he was telling everyone about it the guy denied he was ever with the "witness" that night. the cops got the security cam video from the drive up window at the burger place that showed them together. the confession followed.

    recently two idiots were going to take the aluminum from a high voltage power line tower. the moron who volunteered to cut the live wires with a bolt cutter died. his buddy left him there to go get another friend to look at the body. of course they had to stop for burgers and fries first. they all got caught fortunately. i think the fault lies with the scrap yard operators. when a person comes in with new copper piping that is in new condition and looks like it is a house worth they should be suspicious. same with structural material. i think they can get away with buying and selling stolen material too easily. the past few weeks have had people caught cutting catalytic converters out from under people’s cars at their homes and in parking lots using a battery powered saw.
