Late Friday, April 4, 2008, the District Court of Appeals, First District, State of Florida upheld the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation?s suspension of Allstate from writing insurance in the State of Florida. The Office had suspended Allstate weeks before for a refusal to produce the McKinsey documents during an investigation of the company.

The court found Allstate guilty of arbitrary reductions of ?bodily injury claim payments to its policyholders and beneficiaries by up to 20%.?

Last night I read a blog post on DailyKos pointing out that Air America radio host Randio Rhodes had called Geraldine Ferraro a "whore"and Hillary Clinton a "big fucking whore". I hadn't seen this anywhere except that one blog post on DailyKos. In that blog post was a link to a video of the Randi Rhodes "rant" which today got her suspended. See where I'm going with this? This Randi Rhodes case seems to have some parallels to the Don Imus scandal almost a year ago. The Don Imus scandal brewed from a website(I wish I knew which site it was) that was the first place to raise an issue about Don Imus' remarks. Had that website not raised the issue it's extremely likely that the Don Imus remarks would have went unnoticed. (Seriously, who listens to Don Imus anyway?) Even though Don Imus and R

A president with declining popularity. Court rulings challenging presidential actions. Opposition voices growing louder. Personal freedoms crushed in the name of the war on terror. Rumors of secret arrests and coming martial law.Sound like the U.S.? Actually, it's Pakistan, but the similarities are startling. George W. Bush's political ally, Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf ordered Martial Law in Pakistan on Saturday, suspending the country's constitution, the judicial system, cutting phone lines and blocking news transmissions.While the White House had been asking Musharraf not to declare martial law for the past week, one has to wonder if Bush is sitting up in his chair watching how this unfolds. After all, Musharraf seems to have learned a thing or two from watching W.Seven Pakistan Supreme Court justices refused the declaration of Martial Law and started meeting in their chambers to overturn the declaration. Musharraf had his police barricade the doors to the building so t

Well it turns out that San Diego Padres outfielder Milton Bradley has been vindicated by MLB. The Commissioners office announced on Wednesday they have suspended umpire Mike Winters for the rest of the season for allegedly using a profanity against Bradley during Sunday's contest between San Diego and the Colorado Rockies. The result was Bradley going nuclear and having to be wrestled to the ground by San Diego manager Bud Black causing Bradley to tear his ACL. The Padres organization say that Winters was trying to bait Bradley, and MLB apparently agrees hence the suspension. Now, two things, first of all "suspended for the season" in this case is not too dramatic, the season ends this Sunday, we are not talking 100 games here! Secondly, I want to publicly apologize to Milton Bradley for assuming the worst and that the responsibility lay with him. It turns out Milton, that this time you were provoked, but the bottom line still is who lost worse? By allowing this "bully" to get a rise

AT&T has suspended a feature in its popular Smart Limits parental control program launched early this month (September 4th).AT&T Smart Limits allows parents to set usage limits on a child's talk time, text messages, instant messages (IMs) and downloads, manage how and when a child can communicate, restrict access to mobile Web sites and allocate minutes among users of shared wireless plans.During hours when calls are blocked, a child could still make 911 calls. However, AT&T discovered that if the child makes the call and is disconnected for some reason, the 911 operator would be blocked from calling back.AT&T has report that any 911 operator has ever been blocked in making a return call, and it found the problem in its own evaluations of the service, claimed an A&T spokesman.

According to Engadget Mobile, AT&T has suspended the Smart Limits program temperley.  The reason is that if the minute amount was exceeded by the phone with smart limits, and the child or whoever called and was disconnected with 911, then 911 would not be able to call them back.  So hopefully they will have this fixed soon.  I’m sure  a lot of parents are more relaxed being able to limit their children’s phone minutes.

This past weekend’s shootings in which the security company, Blackwater, USA, opened fire and killed several Iraqi civilians has resulted in the American Embassy in Baghdad forbidding anyone from leaving the heavily guarded Green Zone. Blackwater initially claimed it was ambushed while guarding a State Department motorcade, but subsequent reports indicate the incident began when a car failed to halt and Blackwater personnel opened fire killing a couple and their child. Later, it appears a Blackwater helicopter killed twenty people. The use of civilians to perform military functions has been among the greatest mistakes in American military history. These civilians employees can commit any crime and get away from being tried in Iraq. Historically, soldiers did the work of soldiers which meant better trained people performing in the field. Blackwater personnel are essentially mercenaries and historically, mercenaries do not make the best soldiers. What does America now do since its

Former NFL star Michael Vick won’t be playing pro football anymore. The NFL indefinitely suspended Michael Vick without pay Friday just hours after he acknowledged in court papers that he did, indeed, bankroll gambling on dogfighting and helped kill some dogs not worthy of the pit. Vick, however, insisted he placed no bets of his own nor took any winnings. In disciplining Vick, commissioner Roger Goodell said Vick’s admitted conduct was “not only illegal but also cruel and reprehensible” and regardless whether he personally placed bets, “your actions in funding the betting and your association with illegal gambling both violate the terms of your NFL player contract and expose you to corrupting influences in derogation of one of the most fundamental responsibilities of an NFL player.” […] Vick signed the plea agreement late Thursday. “Most of the Bad Newz Kennels operation and gambling monies were provided by Vick,” the summary of facts said, echoing language

Just when you think you have reached a point in covering sports, when you think nothing can shock you anymore something happens that repudiates that feeling. Such is the case with Jose Offerman who was suspended indefinitely by the Independent Minor League, the Atlantic League for assaulting the opposing pitcher and catcher with his bat after being hit by a pitch earlier this week. Offerman who was playing for the Long Island Ducks led off the game Tuesday night against Bridgeport hitting the first pitch of the contest over the left field fence with a home run. Offerman was up the next inning, and was hit by Bridgeport pitcher Matt Beech in the calf. The normally mild mannered Offerman charged the mound with bat in hand and started swing at Beech eventually hitting him in the hand and breaking his finger. Bridgeport catcher John Nathans running to the mound to come to his pitcher's defense got hit in the head, ending up with a concussion that could end his season. Beech, Bridgeport ma
