Robber escapes in inner tube!

Click here to read about an original robbery for the books: the robber posted an online ad on Craigslist seeking 27 laborers for a landscaping job. "Why," you ask?

Because he used these men as decoys in a bank robbery. He had them waiting across the street from the bank he was going to rob. The men were told to wear blue shirts, work boots, and safety vests to apply for the job. The reason why was that the robber himself was wearing the same attire and he wanted to create some confusion for the cops.

The guy then went to a nearby river, hopped into an inner tube, and made his getaway!

Chinese celebrate their first-ever space walk

                                                                                        

The boys in Beijing are jumping for joy as they

honor the three astronauts that completed the historic mission. The Shenzho 7 spaceship did what it was supposed to, and the capsule containing the astronauts landed safely in Inner Mongolia yesterday.

We (Americans) probably financed the mission with interest payments on the money we've been borrowing from China!

AP Investigation: Palin got zoned aid, gifts

 

              

This is Gov. Palin's former home. When she sold it during her last year as Wasilla Mayor she got the city to sign off on a special zoning exception-and did not keep a promise to remove a potential fire hazard.

The more we know about Sarah Palin the more apparent it becomes that she wasn't properly vetted by McCain's people. The "Bridge to No Where", outrageous earmarks for her tiny town, are only the tip of the iceberg for this Alaska Governor who would be VP.

The Associated Press's recent investigation of Palin's first actions after being elected mayor in 1996 raised possible ethical red flags. For example she cast the tie-breaking vote to propose a tax exemption on aircraft when her father-in-law owned one, and backed the city's repeal of all taxes a year later on planes, snow machines (her husband owes a snow machine company), and other personal property. There's no doubt she started off with "good ol boy" tactics, and no reason to think she's given them up, based upon her actions.

Man arrested for posing as LA Dodger!

A 47-year-old man pleaded not guilty Friday to several charges including burglary and trespassing when he was found wandering Dodger stadium field with a glove and two baseballs. Ronald Higgens may have just had a "field of dreams" moment, but now it looks like he's going to pay for it. If convicted, the poor guy could do four years in prison!

Apparently the court is still trying to find him a lawyer. Talk about a bad day.

Paul Newman dies at 83

Legendary movie star Paul Newman has played his last roll, but will be remembered as a cultural icon with his rolls as cads and con men. He defined the American anti-hero in the 50s and 60s playing parts in such film classics as; Cool Hand Luke, Hud, The Hustler, The Sting, and Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid.

He defined cool. Personally, he was one of my favorite actors.

Man charged with farting on cop!

 

I know. This really seems like a joke, but Jose Cruz isn't laughing after being charged for battery on a cop when he fanned his fart towards the officer after being pulled over for not having his headlights on. This happened on a road somewhere in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

Talk about not being able to take a joke.

Imagine Dad's surprise and the fine he's going to pay now.

White supremacist anti-Obama leaflets passed out to public

The race card is rearing it's ugly head again as we head into the final weeks before the presidential election. It's hard to believe that people are so rabidly racist in this day and age, but it's a fact.

How much do you think race will play a part in picking our next president?

Worried analysts await the bailout.

President Bush went prime time last night to try and convince a skeptical public and rebellious Republicans that the government must use $700 billion of taxpayers' money for the proposed rescue plan.

TODAY'S THREAD:

Do you think we should pay for this bailout, and if we do, will it save the economy as experts are claiming?

McCain wants out of debate: Obama says 'let's go'

 

Surrounded by his big-money cronies, McCain told the press he wants to put Friday's debate off because he wants to concentrate on the bailout package before Congress. What? He can't do two thing's on the same day? Doesn't sound like a very versatile presidential type to me.

Racial prejudice and the elderly

A new study shows that prejudice plays a big part in how elderly white Americans vote. 

How big an effect this prejudicial attitude will have on the presidential race remains to be seen, but pollsters are facing up to the reality that prejudice is alive and well in this country, and that it plays a part in politics.
