Mother Says Devil Made Her Kill Baby

3 1/2 week-old infant found stabbed and decapitated in Texas home

DALLAS
- Police said they found a 3 1/2-week-old infant stabbed and decapitated in a Texas home on Sunday and his mother screaming that she killed her son after the devil told her to do it.

Otty Sanchez, 33, of San Antonio, was taken to a local hospital in critical condition with self-inflicted stab wounds to her chest and stomach, said San Antonio police spokesman Joe Rios. Investigators took a sword, a machete and a kitchen knife from the home.

Officers also found two children unharmed at the home, though it wasn't immediately clear where they were taken.

Ex-Champ Vernon Forrest Shot, Killed


ATLANTA (AP) -- Vernon Forrest, a former three-time champion who gained stardom when he became the first boxer to defeat "Sugar'' Shane Mosley, was shot to death during an apparent robbery in Atlanta, police said Sunday.

Sgt. Lisa Keyes said in an e-mail Sunday that Forrest, 38, was shot several times in the back Saturday night, which an autopsy confirmed. Keyes said there are no suspects.

"Vernon was one of the few decent people in boxing,'' promoter Gary Shaw said. "I mean really decent. He cared about mentally challenged adults. He cared about kids. I just can't believe it.''

Clinton Paints Robust Picture Of U.S. Abroad


The secretary of state stands behind the Obama administration

WASHINGTON
- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton stood fast Sunday behind the Obama administration's readiness to engage with foes like Iran and North Korea and heaped praise on China in advance of two days of critical talks aimed at easing the global economic downturn.

Insisting Washington remained open to dialogue with Tehran, Clinton declined to reveal any specifics of a possible defense umbrella she recently mentioned as a means of protecting Mideast allies against Iran's nuclear program.

Clinton also implicitly urged Israel to set aside any plans it might have for a pre-emptive strike on Iranian nuclear sites and to give U.S. policy time to work.

Survey: Gas Prices Nationwide Drop 7 Cents

Analyst Trilby Lundberg: It appears the rate of decline is slowing

CAMARILLO, Calif.
- The U.S. price of gasoline fell about 7 cents a gallon during the past two weeks to $2.49, for a gallon of regular unleaded.

That’s according to the national Lundberg Survey of fuel prices released Sunday.

Analyst Trilby Lundberg says it appears the rate of decline is slowing. The latest average price of regular gasoline is $1.51 below the price at the same time last year, which peaked at an all-time high of $4.11.

Editors Note: This is interesting because gas prices went up, (on average here on the Shore) 4 cents per gallon since yesterday.

What’s a MAPP?

Have you ever wondered how your electrical power gets to your home or business?  If you live on the Delmarva peninsula, there’s only way – moving south from New Castle County.  This causes congestion in our area grid that costs Delmarva ratepayers approximately $100 million per year.  Fortunately, Delmarva Power has proposed a solution – the Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway, or MAPP.

The MAPP, as proposed, will run from Dominion Virginia Power’s Possum Point station in Prince William County, Virginia to Mirant’s Chalk Point plant, to Constellation Energy’s Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant.  From there power will be converted from AC to DC, and travel under the Chesapeake Bay and through Dorchester County to NRG’s Vienna station.  There it will be converted back to AC and continue its path to NRG’s Indian River plant near Millsboro, in Sussex County, Delaware.

Besides helping to ensure a reliable power supply to the Delmarva peninsula, ratepayers will actually see a cost savings.  The cost of building an operating the MAPP will be less than the current congestion charges being paid to the grid operator.

If this is so great, why isn’t the MAPP completed already?  As usual, the majority of citizens are being held hostage by the usual NIMBY and tree hugging crowd.  Sure, I understand that not too many of us want high voltage power lines running through our neck of the woods.  Of course, we expect the lights to come on when we flip that switch.  Don’t we?

Dorchester County is the primary battleground.  That’s not because of the good folks in Dorchester; it’s because that is where Delmarva Power has to obtain new right of way.  In the other areas along the MAPP route, right of way already exists in most places.

However, I hope that we’ll begin to see the benefits of the MAPP in the next few years.  Delmarva Power has retained Cathy Bassett, former Rep. Wayne Gilchrest’s Communications Director, to take point on this matter.  Bassett is working hard to reach out to members of the affected communities and explain why we need the MAPP and its benefits to all of us.  Bassett has earned a lot of credibility with Shore residents over the years and I am confident that she’ll be able to overcome the fear mongering of those who seem to believe that sitting in the dark is a reasonable alternative.

ALERT


All Senior Citizens
- this information is vital to your interests -

If you know any Senior Citizens please alert them to this clear and present danger to their lives. Post this on every site you can. Send copies of this alert to everyone on your mailing list. Obama has declared war on Senior Citizens.

Our Orwellian President, Obama, in order to raise money for his health care plan without increasing taxes (this is part of the deal for passage of this atrocity) is planning to save 1/2 Billion dollars by cutting Senior Citizens Medicare benefits and by helping them commit suicide so they are "no longer a burden on our Medicare System.". This is UNCONSCIONABLE and must be stopped.

It pains me to learn that at 69, I, a father of 6, a grandfather of 12, suffering with arthritis, high blood pressure and survivor of a 7 bypass heart operation is considered expendable and a "BURDEN" to the country I helped to defend as a younger man and sent my sons to defend, by the President of that very same country..

AARP has sold out the seniors it purports to support by supporting Obamacare because they were promised by Obama to be HIS Health Care Plan administrator. This is worth BILLIONS to AARP. This is why AARP supports OBAMACARE. Their support was bought plain and simple. The fact that they are acting as a "Judas Goat" to the people they are an advocate for is deplorable. I have canceled my AARP membership and throw all their propaganda into the trash without opening it. I suggest you do the same, as these S.O.B.s do not deserve anything but our scorn.

Drop your AARP coverage. They are traitors to Senior Citizens.

Once again, AARP has sold you out to get a plush deal from Obama.

ON PAGE 425 OF OBAMA’S HEALTH CARE BILL, the Federal Government will require EVERYONE who is on Social Security to undergo a counseling session every 5 years with the objective being that they will explain to them just how to end their own life earlier. Yes...The Government is going to push SUICIDE to cut Medicare spending!

OBAMA and his minions view Senior Citizens as expendable and a needless burden to our Medicare system. Just listen to the following interview:

Important Post At 9:00 AM Tomorrow Morning

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Its hot and in some cases miserable for some. I have a very important Post that will go up at 9:00 tomorrow morning. I don't do this often but I'm asking everyone to pull together and stop in for just a minute at 9:00 AM. Once you read the brief Post you'll completely understand why I have asked for such said attention. Thank You and we'll see you at 9:00 tomorrow morning.

Fundraiser TODAY At Brew River

DEAR DOCTOR: YOU’VE BEEN “DISSED” BY BARACK!

In his big media event the other day, Obama gave an example of how health care cost can be controlled under his plan -- a kid has a sore throat (he then made it multiple sore throat events) and the doctor, solely to make more money than using standard therapy, advises removal of the tonsils. The clear implication is that this is the norm in medicine today, regardless whether the procedure is efficacious or necessary. It reveals Obama’s ignorance not just of medical ethics, but also that docs who normally would see kids with sore throats don’t do tonsils. Or does he think they get kickbacks from those who do?

Anyone who thinks ObamaCare would not destroy the doctor-patient relationship is an IDIOT!

God Bless Alex

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names and small American flags mounted on either side of it. The six-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, 'Good morning Alex.'

'Good morning Pastor,' he replied, still focused on the plaque. 'Pastor, what is this? '

The pastor said, 'Well son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service.'

Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.

Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked,


'Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:30?'

Something To Think About

545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ...

If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Generation Y

The Silent Generation are people born before 1946.

The Baby Boomers are people born between 1946 and 1959.

The Generation X are people born between 1960 and 1979.

The Generation Y are people born between 1980 and 1995.

Why do we call the last one generation Y?

A Major Reason Why California Is Bankrupt


Quoted from the L. A. Times

California is hemorrhaging $$$ to support the cost of:


1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.


2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.


3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.


4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.


5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.


6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in Garages.


7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are illegal aliens from south of the border.


8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal's.


9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.


10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.


(There are 10.2 million people in L. A.. County. )

(All of the 10 aforementioned items are from the Los Angeles Times)



Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.



Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York ) results from immigration.



29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

Americans are a bunch of fools for hiring them and letting this continue. When all the costs are tabulated, Illegal's cost us more than hiring Americans at twice the rate we hire Illegal's at..

HOW CAN YOU HELP ?


Let ICE know where Illeagals are being Hired. We need to bust these employers and bust them now inorder to stem the tide of Illeagals.


Send copies of this letter to at least two other people. 100 would be even better.

I,__________________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.

Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth grade biology if their lives depended on it, or lawyers/doctors interested in simply running up the bills.

If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:

Chicken fried steak
Cream gravy

It should be presumed that I won't ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes, let the 'fat lady sing,' and call it a day!
