We met for some stand-up comedy Sunday evening.

By Chris Floyd, The BaltimoreChronicle (Apr 24 2008) - Earlier this week, we noted reports that Ethiopian invaders in Somalia had killed several moderate clerics and other unarmed people in a mosque north of Mogadishu during the recent bloody reprisals against civilian areas launched by the Bush-backed invaders and their Somali allies. At the time, sketchy reports from the BBC indicated that at least 10 people had been killed in the mosque.Now Amnesty International has charged Ethiopian soldiers with killing 21 people in the mosque - and slitting the throats of seven of their victims, the Herald-Sun reports. Amnesty said the invaders are also holding dozens of children they captured during the raid:Amnesty said those killed at the mosque included imam Sheikh Saiid Yaha and several scholars

Another story in the "if you've nothing to hide, what have you to fear" department. Quite a lot! In this case, a man went to Tesco to do some shopping but the myopic security guards took his car registration and gave it to the police. Why? Because some thief had stolen a plasma screen TV ( a feat in itself!) and managed to walk past the guards. In a totally separate incident, a woman claimed that this man, Simon Brasch, who works for a hospice charity, had scratched her car. One thing led to twenty-four and later, at 3 am, Mr.Brasch was dragged from his bed after the bizarre mix-up following his visit to the supermarket eight hours earlier.“I felt humiliated and degraded, I felt like a criminal. I was left to languish in a prison cell, my individual rights were completely put aside for a

Gordan Steidl was sentenced to death in 1987 for murder of Karen and Dyke Rhoads, but fought to prove his innocence. He was granted a new sentencing hearing in 1999 and had his conviction overturned in 2003. After consideration of DNA and other evidence, he was freed in 2004. Since winning his freedom, Steidl has applied for a pardon from Gov. Rod Blogojevich (D). But, on February 14, 2008, a letter arrived saying the request for clemency had been denied. Steidl has since learned the denial letter was mailed as a result of a "clerical error." The Governor has not actuality acted on the request. The incident is just the latest in an increasingly bizarre year for the pardon power in the State of Illinois. First, there was the breaking news of the Chandra Gill pardon. Then there was a fascina

I just signed the Innocence Project's petition to help prisoners in all 50 states get access to the DNA testing that can prove their innocence.

Click on the link below to sign the petition today!CLICK here or type in deserves justice I support DNA testing in every case where it can overturn a wrongful conviction or confirm guilt. Everyone deserves justice, and there is no reason to deny testing that could lead to the exoneration of an innocent person.

The founder of a group dedicated to improving the treatment of America's wrongfully accused prisoners made his way through Carson City last week as part of his plan to jog across the country. The mission is to raise awareness of the struggle of those who have been wrongfully imprisoned, to provide funds to assist with gaining their release, and to offer hope and help to those who have been exonerated. "This isn't just a local problem," Steve Ivanovich said as he took a breather in front of the state Supreme Court. "In 28 states including Nevada, people who serve time and (then) are found innocent get nothing. They're just supposed to pick up their lives right where they left off, even if they've been in prison for years. That's not how it works."Ivanovich, an Indiana native who served jail

It was a boring day. Less boring than the previous days. I decided to walk around San Pedro St. Because i had nothing to do, I looked for anything and everything that could entertain me. Suddenly, i stopped. I saw this chess board and was challenged to solve the puzzle. In the end, i did not solve the puzzle and lost P500. I was a big loser. But i was not bitter. I learned from it. It was a fun experience. Kudos to those people who manipulated my mind. They had a great job persuading me to bet on it. I guess i have to learn to have my own conviction and not let anyone manipulate me . I am happy i only lost a little. And next time someone tries to do it again, I know already what to do. The chess board,the puzzle, those people, the 500... I will never forget that day ever.

Here’s another example of real life branching out into the virtual world. The newest toy to bounce into the hands of unsuspecting pre-teens and teens is the virtual game Miss Bimbo. With members given a naked virtual character and cash to provide her with anything from breast augmentation to new clothes for a beauty contest, the site boasts of around 246 024 registered ‘bimbos’. Parents in Europe have raised concerns over the sensibility of such a site especially when a father found money deducted from his mobile bill due to messages his daughter had sent to fund items for her bimbo. It’s the Tamigotchi phenomena all over again, only this time, the repercussions on impressionable young minds could be worse.Plastic surgery, as branch of medicine is misunderstood a lot when tagge

DON'T judge me based on my looks, she told a press conference. Picture: Kua Chee Siong She may be skinny, but she's tough. And Charlene Choi, 25, one half of the Cantopop duo Twins, proved it. In town on Friday to promote the clothing label Heroic Rendezvous, the willowy and delicate-faced Hong Kong singer was calm in answering all questions, even the ones concerning 'Ah Jiao'. That's the nickname for the other Twin - Gillian, 26, who's infamously embroiled in the recent Edison Chen scandal. Asked about talk in Hong Kong that the duo will disband, Charlene stressed: Twins 'will never break up'. 'We're friends forever,' she added. Of the difficult last two months since the scandal broke, Charlene said: 'Every day you'll grow. What won't kill

New York's Times Square military recruiting station.David Karnes, the hapless entertainment attorney from Los Angeles who was investigated – but cleared – of the bombing of the military recruiting station in Times Squares, serves as a cautionary tale for individuals who exercise their free speech rights, only to find themselves a target of a federal investigation and slandered in public. I say this is a cautionary tale because although the mainstream press reported on the investigation, then reported again that he was not linked to the bombing, conservative bloggers tarred and feathered him without acknowledging later his innocence. Karnes had the misfortune of timing. He wrote a lengthy memo to Democrats on the Iraq war and included a photo of himself in front of the Times Square rec

(CBS) This is a story about an innocent man who has been in prison for 26 years while two attorneys who knew he was innocent stayed silent. They did so because they felt they had no choice.Alton Logan was convicted of killing a security guard at a McDonald's in Chicago in 1982.

The cheeky and disrespectful attitude of some teenagers is the bane of many a parents’ life, but when it occurs in the pre-teen population I am ill prepared. When my daughter’s play date comes to a merciful end, her Dad drives her pal home. My daughter accompanies them so as to spend a few more precious moments together. I busy myself with dinner preparations whilst the boys indulge in 30 minutes electronics time. Although I’m in the kitchen, I can hear my youngest talk to himself in the family room. “My Mom dun like yur behaviour! My Mom dun like yur behaviour! My Mom dun like yur behaviour!” he chants to no-one in particular as he spins. At first I think he is correcting his toys, ordering them to shape up, tow the line and stop mucking about, but that doesn’t appear t

If Bwana is the project of Al Margolis, who began producing tapes of dadaistic noise in 1984. ‘An Innocent Abroad’ contains two pieces by Margolis recorded in 2007. The 43-minute four-movement piece for electronics, vocals and flutes was created by having the vocalist improvise a vocal track, then by multiplying the track, then by feeding the tracks to flute improvisers, then by manipulating the results. Whatever the process, the result is oneiric, languid and spaced-out, almost psychedelic in nature. The 19-minute “Issue” for electronics and multi-tracked voice falls in the tradition of musique concrete and concocts a more dynamic processing of the original vocals. And while it may not be the most accessible of pieces, ‘An Innocent Abroad’ is new sound art of the highest quality. (more…) Share This

OKLAHOMA CITY – Author John Grisham is asking an Oklahoma federal court to dismiss a libel lawsuit filed against him by Pontotoc County District Attorney Bill Peterson and others over their depiction in Grisham’s nonfiction best-seller "The Innocent Man", about the prosecution of Dennis Fritz and Ron Williamson for the 1982 murder of Debra Sue Carter. The Pontotoc County District Attorney Bill Peterson is the prosecutor who sent Dennis Fritz and Ron Williamson, 2 innocent men to prison for 12 years with no real evidence against them. The real killer Glen Gore, was the prosecution's key witness. Other defendants in the case: Author Dennis Fritz ,who tells his story of his unwarranted prosecution and wrongful conviction his book "Journey Toward Justice".

Being a powerful drama based on real events (the film is based on the childhood experiences of its screen writer) - Innocent voices made a direct entry in my all times favorite movie list. The director of the movie did an excellent job - portraying the horrors of the civil war in El Salvador in the 80s through the eyes of a young boy - the eleven - year old Chava.   Both parties in this war recruit young boys ( 12 year old and even younger sometimes ) for their armies or fractions .The government’s armed forces collect the boys from the streets, their school and their homes - separating the young lads from their families and friends . In the harsh reality of the civil war - the “greatest battle of Chava and his friends is to remain kids”. There are some great scenes showing how the child in the streets play games, fall in love and do the things kids do - you even wonder how is that possible since the bullets can strike any moment - and innocence can be lost fore

Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has denied making a rude gesture to Germany fans during his country's Euro 2008 qualifying success over Cyprus on Saturday.The veteran shot-stopper appeared to scratch his head with a middle finger which was construed as a gesture aimed at fans who were chanting for Hanover goalkeeper Robert Enke to come on."It's nonsense," Lehmann said after the match. "I've never done anything like that."German Football Association president Theo Zwanziger added: "I will stand up for him here. He knows there's no reason to make gestures that could hurt fans. I know he respects the fans."Meanwhile, Gunners midfielder Tomas Rosicky has returned to the Emirates Stadium after helping the Czech Republic reach the Euro 2008 finals.He played and scored in Saturday's 3-1 triumph over Slovakia but will not feature in the midweek encounter with Cyprus.Rosicky said after the weekend success: "In comparison to our win in Bratislava last year, the Slovaks have quite improved.T

TMZ reports today that Orlando Bloom will not be charged with a hit and run for the accident he caused a couple of weeks ago. Remember? The one where he hit a tree and then ran away from it? Ya, that one. Since he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol,* the accident is being blamed on the swarms of paparazzi that were surrounding him. Even though it was those same paps who told him to go back to his car so he wouldn’t be arrested. *No tests were actually taken to determine whether or not he was sober at the time, because that kind of irrefutable evidence is waste of time. Time that could be spent asking Orlando Bloom questions about the Lord of the Rings movies. Because Hollywood is to justice and ethics as Britney Spears is to self-control and a 5th grade education. That was some SAT shit right there! I feel the smartliest.

It’s a very sad thought that red tape, and not bars, could be keeping the innocent in jail. It is also sad that we do not hear these stories on our local and national news programs.Via USA Today:Via USA TodaySince 2006, the Justice Department has yet to spend any of the $8 million set aside by Congress for DNA tests for convicts to prove their innocence while it has used $214 million to collect DNA from convicted criminals and improve crime labs, records show."DNA evidence is such a powerful tool in proving guilt or innocence that it's inexcusable not to use it," says Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the chief sponsor of a bill to provide more funding for what is known as innocence testing. If spent, the $8 million could affect dozens of cases, says Barry Scheck, a defense lawyer who specializes in using DNA to overturn convictions.The article goes on to explain that rules imposed by Congress on how the money can be spent, make getting at the funds almost impossible.

Fryman, one of my favourite sources for unsolicted blog fodder, sent me an article from the Globe and Mail detailing the mass genocide of 16,000 innocent hypens in the latest edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. Formerly hyphenated words will either become new compound words (pigeonhole, waterborne and chickpea) or separated into two distinct words (test tube, water bed and hobby horse.) In many of these cases, the Oxford was merely catching up with usage: Waterborne, for example, is probably used by the majority of newspapers anyway. (But as if to prove how arbitrary this all is, the old Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors has long given waterbed as one word. Aren’t these books published by the same company?) Of course, the Shorter Oxford retained some hyphenated phrases to avoid ambiguity: They will permit the phrase “twenty-odd,” meaning “approximately twenty,” because to say “twenty odd people” has a somewhat different meaning. Copy editors lo

So I decided to do laundry today. Seems like a mundane enough chore. I left my laundry innocently in the dryer and my laundry bag innocently in a corner. I come back when I think my things are done drying and lo and behold! someone has stolen my laundry bag…. Who does this? I suppose it might have made more sense to me if they had stolen my clothes (it would have been worse, but it would have made more sense), but a laundry bag? You can get one anywhere! What is the point of stealing someone’s laundry bag? An empty one, no less. Who stoops to this level? I am simply appalled at the pathetic creature this poor person has been reduced to. If you ever by some chance read this, I hope you realize how pitiful this is……………..and I want my laundry bag back.

Dennis Fritz, who wrote the book, "Journey Toward Justice", is named as a defendant in a libel lawsuit along with , John Grisham, author of "The Innocent Man", Robert Mayer, author of "The Dreams of Ada", and all their publishers, and New York City attorney Barry Scheck, Fritz's former lawyer who once represented Fritz and is co-director of The Innocence Project. With the aid of Barry Scheck and irrefutable DNA evidence, Dennis Fritz and Ron Williamson were exonerated in 1999. Pontotoc County District Attorney Bill Peterson and Gary Rogers, a former agent for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation filed the libel lawsuit. The lawsuit, seeks at least $75,000 compensation and demands a jury trial. Peterson and Rogers were instrumental in the conviction of Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz in the murder of Debbie Sue Carter in Ada, Oklahoma in 1982. The conviction was later overturned on DNA evidence pursued by the Innocence Project, which Scheck heads, Dennis Fritz was wrongfully

Most Miami couples file their joint income tax returns. Meaning, both of them are legally held to be individually and jointly responsible for the payment of the rightful sum of taxes.

I guess I am as innocent as Vanessa Hudgens sending her nude pictures to her boyfriend of 2 years ago and now all the world looking at her pics become instant teen voyeurs. But voyeur is a French word, so time to translate it into English. Any good French-English dictionary will translate voyeur into voyeur… Don’t pay too much money for a dictionary I find! Other dictionaries will tell you that a voyeur is a peeping Tom. Now I have been peeping Tom and Jerry every day when I was a kid, but strangely: I thought that Jerry the mouse was the one making peeping sounds… Luckily there is a good voyeur post at Add URL, good in the sense that some women could be curious what goes on in a men’s toilet… For the men out there, Vanessa Hudgens is the best teen voyeur on the net these days voyeur

Until Proven Innocent smothers any lingering doubts that in this country the presumption of innocence is dead, dead, dead.”
