Bed Bugs

A friend attending the Salisbury Kennel Club Dog Show this weekend stayed at this Hotel on Rt. 13 this weekend and was loaded with bed bug bites.

The really bad part about this is that they'll probably go home with the bed bugs in their luggage and have the same problem at home.

Their arms were just loaded with bites. You've been warned. "Don't Let The Bed Bugs Bite".

Dog Found: UPDATE

Hey Joe, we found this little guy on Jackson St. and have no luck locating his owner.  Could you post him up on your site?  I'm sure someone is missing him. :)  He's really friendly and looks maybe like a chihuahua mix?

ROCK BAND COMBATS LIBERAL ATTACKS ON THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WITH THIS PATRIOTIC ‘STAR-SPANGLED BANNER’ VIDEO & CHALLENGE

Perhaps you’ve heard of Madison Rising – you know, the conservative, rock group that regularly touts patriotic lyrics, while also churning out entertaining and musically-stellar tunes. In June, the band, which embraces conservative values, ran a successful effort called the “One Million Star-Spangled Banner Challenge.” The goal? To convince 1 million people to watch the music video for the group’s rock version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Nov. 6 (election day).

The response, though, was so fierce that the band reached its goal seven weeks early, transcending the one million view marker two months ago. And in a fascinating bit of irony, in addition to hitting the benchmark early, Madison Rising surpassed its goal on September 14 — the 198th anniversary of the date Francis Scott Key wrote the original poem.

DISGRACE: BARACK OBAMA BROKE PROMISE TO HONOR COLD WAR VETERANS

President Barack Obama once promised, as a U.S. Senator, to honor veterans of the Cold War, who have never received official recognition and are therefore prevented from full participation in many Veterans Day celebrations. But he never fulfilled that promise--neither in the Senate nor the White House--leaving Cold War veterans in the cold.

This weekend, the Wall Street Journal documented the promise, made in 2006 to Frank Almquist, an Illinois constituent who had served in the Army in the 1980s. A medal for Cold War veterans seemed "appropriate," Obama wrote, and wrote that he hoped "this impasse can be broken soon." He never took up the task.

SAN FRANCISCO APPROVES TAXPAYER-FUNDED TRANSGENDER SURGERIES

Taxpayers in San Francisco, California will now pay for "gender-switching," transgender surgeries to "help ease the mental anguish of people who feel they are trapped in bodies of the wrong gender." These operations will be covered under San Francisco's universal health care program for the uninsured. 

The San Francisco Health Commission on Tuesday approved of these controversial operations; public health officials in the city and transgender rights advocates discussed how they could get procedures such as mastectomies and genital reconstruction surgery covered under San Francisco's universal health care system for individuals who consider themselves transgender.

Jesse Jackson Jr. Plea Deal

A resignation from Congress and jail time are reportedly part of a tentative plea deal U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) is currently considering.

CBS Chicago reported Saturday that veteran criminal defense attorney and former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb is negotiating a deal that tentatively includes the congressman pleading guilty to misusing campaign funds, resigning for health reasons, repaying any campaign contributions that went toward personal expenditures and -- almost inevitably -- some jail time.

The negotiations are expected to be wrapped up by the year's end, according to CBS.

Explosion Levels Homes in Indianapolis; 2 Dead

 A massive explosion sparked a huge fire and killed two people in an Indianapolis neighborhood where about three dozen homes were damaged or destroyed, authorities said Sunday. The powerful nighttime blast shattered windows, crumpled walls and could be felt at least three miles away.

Seven people were taken to a hospital with injuries after the explosion and fire, Deputy Fire Chief Kenny Bacon said.

Fire Lt. Bonnie Hensley said firefighters put out the flames and then went through the rubble and damaged homes one at a time in case people had been left behind. She said they used search lights until dawn as they peered into the damaged and ruined homes. Two bodies were recovered.

Why Hispanics Don’t Vote For Republicans

The call for Republicans to discard their opposition to immigration amnesty will grow deafening in the wake of President Obama’s victory. Hispanics supported Obama by a margin of nearly 75 percent to 25 percent, and may have provided important margins in some swing states. If only Republicans relented on their Neanderthal views regarding the immigration rule of law, the message will run, they would release the inner Republican waiting to emerge in the Hispanic population. 

If Republicans want to change their stance on immigration, they should do so on the merits, not out of a belief that only immigration policy stands between them and a Republican Hispanic majority. It is not immigration policy that creates the strong bond between Hispanics and the Democratic party, but the core Democratic principles of a more generous safety net, strong government intervention in the economy, and progressive taxation. Hispanics will prove to be even more decisive in the victory of Governor Jerry Brown’s Proposition 30, which raised upper-income taxes and the sales tax, than in the Obama election.

The Voters Who Stayed Home

They need better choices.

The key to understanding the 2012 election is simple: A huge slice of the electorate stayed home.

The punditocracy — which is more of the ruling class than an eye on the ruling class — has naturally decided that this is because Republicans are not enough like Democrats: They need to play more identity politics (in particular, adopt the Left’s embrace of illegal immigration) in order to be viable. But the story is not about who voted; it is about who didn’t vote. In truth, millions of Americans have decided that Republicans are not a viable alternative because they are already too much like Democrats. They are Washington. With no hope that a Romney administration or more Republicans in Congress would change this sad state of affairs, these voters shrugged their shoulders and became non-voters.

“This is the most important election of our lifetime.” That was the ubiquitous rally cry of Republican leaders. The country yawned. About 11 million fewer Americans voted for the two major-party candidates in 2012 — 119 million, down from 130 million in 2008. In fact, even though our population has steadily increased in the last eight years (adding 16 million to the 2004 estimate of 293 million Americans), about 2 million fewer Americans pulled the lever for Obama and Romney than for George W. Bush and John Kerry.

FBI SOURCE: PETRAEUS CASE HELD UNTIL AFTER ELECTION TO NOT HURT OBAMA POLITICALLY

Outgoing CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus’ resignation over an extramarital affair was reportedly held until after Tuesday’s election to avoid “potential embarrassment” for President Barack Obama, according to Newsmax.

FBI agents learned of the affair while monitoring Petraeus’ emails out of concern that the woman, Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell, may have had access to his personal account, the Associated Press reported.

But an FBI source told Ronald Kessler, the author and journalist who broke the Secret Service prostitution scandal, that rather than having Petraeus resign immediately, the decision was made to hold it until after the election for political purposes:

Record 70.4 Million Enrolled in Medicaid in 2011: 1 Out of Every 5 Americans

A record 70.4 million people were enrolled in the Medicaid health care program for the poor in fiscal year 2011, according to government figures provided to CNSNews.com.

That figure equals about 22 percent of the population, which means there was one person on Medicaid for every 5 Americans in 2011.

The record number of Medicaid enrollees in 2011 – the most recent year for which figures are available – is a count of all persons enrolled in Medicaid for any part of that year, providing the fullest and most accurate count of the size of the entitlement program. (The federal fiscal year in 2011 ran from Oct. 1, 2010 to Sept. 30, 2011.)

'GAY MARRIAGE' ADOPTED: NOW COME THE LAWSUITS

After a decade of defeats and dozens of rejections by voters across the United States, campaigns for same-sex marriage have found friendly voters in Maine, Maryland and apparently in Washington state, according to early returns.

What now?

There likely will be lawsuits against churches. Justices of the peace or other officials could have a bull’s-eye on their backs. Small businesses, such as photographers, venue operators and cake bakers will be hit with claims under anti-discrimination laws. And more.

That’s according to Frank Schubert, who has worked on campaigns to defend the traditional definition of marriage.

Judge Who Beat Daughter Is Back On The Bench

Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams has been in and out of the courthouse in Rockport preparing for next week's docket, while his daughter made another national television appearance Friday.

Adams was reinstated by the Texas Supreme Court after a yearlong paid suspension resulting from a judicial conduct inquiry.

Ruling On Bradley Class-Action Suit Set For Nov. 13

Tuesday, Nov. 13, is expected to be a landmark day in the class-action civil case against pedophile pediatrican Earl Bradley

Superior Court Judge Joseph Slights III is expected to approve a settlement in the case, designed to compensate Bradley's many victims for the crimes they suffered while at the same time allowing Beebe Medical Center to avoid bankruptcy.

John Culhane, director of Widener University's Health Law Institute, said the Bradley case is highly unusual in that it is a sexual-abuse case that will be settled through class action. Culhane also said the mechanism by which victims will be compensated and the establishment of a victims' fund are unprecedented.

Florida Vote Twist: More Ballots Than Voters

Republican Congressman Allen West’s campaign is ready to “go to war” to get a recount in the Florida 18th Congressional District race. The latest twist to emerge from the ongoing vote count – in some precincts there are more ballots than voters.

Preliminary, unofficial vote totals were filed today in the neck and neck race between Mr. West and Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy. The Murphy campaign has already declared victory, but the numbers have not been officially certified and the count goes on. The West campaign believes that they are close to the .5% vote margin that will trigger an automatic recount under Florida election law.

The vote count has been marked by controversy. Poll watchers accuse local election officials of incompetence, intimidation and possible fraud. The latest twist is that in some precincts of St. Lucie County there appear to be dozens more ballots being counted than the number of voters. The West campaign is demanding St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker release the voter poll books that show how many voters actually showed up on Election Day to validate the count. “What we are saying is, open your books!” a source close to the West campaign toldThe Washington Times.

Unemployment Rate Soars For Younger Female Veterans

For many of our newest veterans, the one thing they really want this Veterans Day is a job.

Overall, the current unemployment rate for veterans of all ages is 6.3 percent - well below the national average.

But for the youngest veterans - those who enlisted after the September 11 terror attacks - the rate is just under 10 percent.

The Department of Veterans Affairs says that number - 9.7 percent - must be taken in a broader context. The VA says the unemployment rate for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans used to be much worse and over the course of the last year has begun a slow but definite decline.
