SCLC Leader Criticizes Anti-Gay, Black Pastors Who Support Prop 8

Rev. Eric Lee, President of the California Chapters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference spoke in an interview.

"I would remind - particulalry the African American clergy - that the people who are driving this fight for Proposition 8 and to deny the civil rights of one group of people are the same people who considered African Americans inferior and used the Bible to justify slavery, Jim Crow segregation, discrimination. It's the same Church - the Mormon Church that did not allow blacks into the priesthood and did not allow them into Mormon heaven. So I think we have to consider the source - and so when you look at the source, it should automatically cause a red flag to be raised"

McCain worker reaches deal in hoax assault

PITTSBURGH - A McCain campaign volunteer accused of making up a story about being robbed and assaulted in Pittsburgh by a Black man who disliked her McCain bumper sticker will enter a program for first-time offenders.

Under the deal announced in court Thursday, 20-year-old Ashley Todd will be released from jail and required to undergo mental health treatment. Her record eventually will be expunged as long as she goes to treatment, stays out of trouble and keeps authorities apprised of her whereabouts.

Todd, of College Station, Texas, has been jailed since Oct. 24, when police say she admitted making up a story about being robbed near a Pittsburgh bank and then assaulted by a Black man who scraped a backward letter "B" into her cheek.

Police said Todd couldn't explain why she invented the story. (original source Associated Press)

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES WIN WORLD SERIES

The Phillies are the 2008 world champions, with Brad Lidge closing out a 4-3, unbelievable Game 5 victory over the Rays to end the season in style at Citizens Bank Park and bring the kind of joy to The City of Brotherly Love that you couldn't imagine.

Horns were blaring, screams in the distance and the explosions of fireworks filled the night. The Phillies won the World Series and the air tonight was electric. Strangers hugged and I have random high fives to passers by. Everyone young and old came out of their homes and headed toward the nearest major intersection.

The Phillies are World Champions and the parade is Friday. One down and an election to go. I can't get that tune from Queen out of my head, We are the Champions!

It has been predicted that Bush would start an armed conflict with Syria, and I said it was too late; he was not that big of a fool. What ever happaened to the "Lame Duck", in his final days in office he can't help but to distinguish himself as being a "Lame Fuck".
