Anchorage Daily News: Cissna back in Juneau after refusing TSA search

Cissna back in Juneau after refusing TSA search

By BECKY BOHRER
The Associated Press



Read the entire article and be appalled: "... Cissna, D-Anchorage, is a cancer survivor who has had a mastectomy. She underwent the full-body scan at Seattle’s airport but was singled out for a further pat-down search, her second, she said, within three months..."

[...]

"Since new screening measures began last year, the American Civil Liberties Union has reported receiving more than 1,000 complaints from travelers — including breast cancer survivors — who said they endured intrusive pat-downs. Among other things, the travelers claim TSA agents patted their genitals and ran fingers through their hair or along their bras or waistbands..." http://www.adn.com/2011/02/24/1720607/alaska-lawmaker-back-in-juneau.html

YouTube: Young Boy strip searched by TSA (Original w/ Full Story Description)

Young Boy strip searched by TSA 



Lets get the facts straight first. Before the video started the boy went through a metal detector and didn't set it off but was selected for a pat down. The boy was shy so the TSA couldn't complete the full pat on the young boy. The father tried several times to just hold the boys arms out for the TSA agent but i guess it didn't end up being enough for the guy. I was about 30 ft away so i couldn't hear their conversation if there was any. The enraged father pulled his son shirt off and gave it to the TSA agent to search, thats when this video begins.

******* THIS VIDEO OCCURRED AT SALT LAKE CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ON NOVEMBER 19TH AT AROUND THE TIME OF 12:00 PM **********

Is it really any wonder that Americans who listen too diligently to FOX “News” and right-wing radio programs are so ill-informed? On Friday, radio entertainer Rush Limburger told his gullible followers that the recent eruption of an Icelandic volcano--which has played havoc with plane flights in much of Europe--is God’s way of telling Americans that they were wrong to finally pass health-care reform legislation:
You know, a couple of days after the health care bill had been signed into law Obama ran around all over the country saying, “Hey, you know, I’m looking around. The earth hadn’t opened up. There’s no Armageddon out there. The birds are still chirping.” I think the earth has opened up. God may have replied. This volcano in Iceland has grounded more airplanes--airspace has more affected--than even after 9/11 because of this plume, because of this ash cloud over Northern and Western Europe. At the Paris airport they’re telling people to head to the train station to catch trains out of France, and when people get to the train station they’re telling people, “There aren’t any seats until at least April 22nd,” basically a week from now. It’s got everybody in a shutdown. Earth has opened up. I don’t know whether it’s a rebirth or Armageddon. Hopefully it’s a rebirth, God speaking.

I think I am goping to be sick: Missing Lesson From the Mine Tragedy: Union-Busting = Death

Of course we all knew that sooner or later the left would determine that the tragic death of the 29  miners in the Massey Energy Company's Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia was the fault of President George W. Bush.

Politicizing the horrible death of the miners is shameless. Do NOT  read the following on a full stomach:

t r u t h o u t

Monnday 12 April 2010

Missing Lesson From the Mine Tragedy: Union-Busting = Death
Art Levine, Truthout: "In the wake of last week's disaster at Massey Energy Company's Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia, it's become increasingly clear that CEO Don Blankenship has gamed the loophole-laden mine safety enforcement system. Despite a supposedly tougher federal law that passed in 2006 after the Sago, West Virginia, mine explosion killed a dozen miners, Massey and other companies have been able to use the law as a shield to avoid tougher enforcement measures by appealing safety citations - and overwhelming the weak Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) with a backlog of appeals."

Sykesville Police are investigating the theft of a wheelchair

Sykesville Police are investigating the theft of a wheelchair

April 5 2010

By Kevin Dayhoff for Soundtrack http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/04/sykesville-police-are-investigating.html

Folks in the small town of Sykesville are shaking their heads in disbelief today upon learning that over the weekend someone stole the wheelchair of a town resident who is paralyzed from the chest down.

Sykesville is a relatively quiet town of approximately 4500 residents, which straddles the Carroll and Howard County border in the southern part of Carroll County, where - still to this day - most everyone knows each other.

However, a small part of that small-town trust has been shaken. According to the town police chief, John Williams, who answered the phone when this reporter called the department asking for additional information, “the theft of a wheelchair occurred during the evening hours of Saturday, April 3, 2010 between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.

“The owner of the wheelchair is a town resident and is paralyzed from the chest down. The adult size wheelchair is red and black in color with ‘QUICKIE’ printed in white lettering on the back of the chair.”

When asked why he answers the phones and if he also takes out the trash and washes the windows at the police station, Williams only admitted to be “in a flurry of administrative tasks,” with a wry chuckle.

Williams noted that “neighbors got together and carried the owner from his car to his bed… But we sure would like to return the wheelchair to its owner.

“Officers canvassed the neighborhood, but so far we have had no luck locating the wheelchair and we have no suspects at this point. The wheelchair has been valued at $4,500.00,” said Williams.

The investigation is ongoing. If anyone has additional information that could help the Sykesville Police Department, they are asked to call 410-795-0757.

Philadelphia man charged with threatening GOP’s No. 2 in Congress

A Northeast Philadelphia man was charged with threatening the life of a Virginia Congressman and his family in an Internet video he had studded with Old Testament references and in which he referred to the "final Yom Kippur."

Norman Leboon, 38, of the 1600 block of Benner Street in Mayfair, was charged by the U.S. Attorney's office in Philadelphia with two counts involving threats against U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor (R., Va.), the Republican House whip.

Leboon was arrested Saturday by the FBI, three days after his YouTube video was seen by someone in San Francisco and reported to the FBI.

Although Leboon called Cantor "my Congressman" in his homemade video, there seems to be no evidence Leboon ever lived anywhere but Philadelphia and its suburbs.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert K. Reed said Cantor and his family were not harmed as a result of Leboon's alleged activities. Reed added that there was no evidence LeBoon was involved in the shot fired at Cantor's Congressional office in Richmond after last week's vote on health insurance reform...

Tiger Woods was a busy guy

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren briefly pose for a photoshop moment as the blond bombshell moves out of the marital home after being shell-shocked by serial accounts that Mr. Woods may have given as many as nine private golf lessons as to how to use his putter with a casting call for a reality TV show. – Artist-Photographer unknown – probably in hiding… Larger: http://twitpic.com/srqr0


By Kevin Dayhoff December 8, 2009

It appears that golfing great Tiger Woods may have been a busy guy in recent years. According to an article by Sophie Tedmanson in the Times (UK,) “More woes for Tiger Woods as his wife Elin Nordegren moves out” - Larger: http://twitpic.com/srrlz

“[I]t is alleged, “Woods, 33, has been linked to up to nine women - including a British television presenter – since it was first reported he crashed his Cadillac into a fire hydrant outside his home on November 27 after reportedly arguing with his wife.”

“Apparently, the only person who can beat Tiger Woods with a golf club is his wife.”
(There’s more from where that one came from – go here: http://tinyurl.com/yhgeaq8.)

The latest revelations begs the question, when did he ever have time to play golf?

Ms. Tedmanson writes, “Days after the crash Woods was linked to a New York night clubber, other women – including a Las Vegas party girl and a Florida waitress - began to come forward, selling their stories to tabloids with tales of trysts with Woods….”

Is this nuts or what. Have you seen pictures of his wife? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. What could have he possibly been thinking? Or was his putter doing the thinking for him?

According to a December 7 article in the Times (UK) by Jacqui Goddard, “Best man speech could draw Tiger Woods out of hiding”:

“… [T]he golf champion [is alleged to have had] trysts with Rachel Uchitel, a New York nightclub hostess, including flying her to Melbourne for a secret rendezvous with Woods during the Australian Masters last month…

“Holly Sampson, a porn star, today became the seventh woman named as having had an affair with Woods, who has been married to Elin Nordegren, a Swedish model, since 2004.”


Perhaps that explains the mysteries behind his car crash into a tree and a fire hydrant in the wee hours of the morning of November 27, 2009 – The man was delirious with exhaustion.

“Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron." ibid)

Of course, having a five-iron stuck up his behind did not help to improve his driving ability at the time.
Larger: http://twitpic.com/srr0c

Meanwhile the Boston Herald’s “Inside Track” – “‘SNL’ battered over spoof of Tiger Woods spat” - is reporting that “Anti-domestic violence advocates beat up on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” yesterday for a skit poking fun at reports that Tiger Woods was hit with a golf club by his enraged wife, Elin Nordegren.

“‘There’s nothing funny about this story, particularly if violence was part of the events that took place,’ said Rita Smith, president of the National Coalition for Domestic Violence . ‘It diminishes people’s support for victims of domestic violence.’

“Woods, who has been accused of 10 extramarital affairs in the wake of a car crash outside his Florida home Thanksgiving weekend, was skewered in the skit that featured ‘SNL’ regular Kenan Thompson, playing the golf great, and guest host Blake Lively as his angry Swedish wife.”


Whatever, I hardly ever watch Saturday Night Live and find very little about the otherwise popular late-night TV program to be funny.

But you know – the whole sad saga of Mr. Woods' fall from grace by his own Shakespearean personality defect just really isn’t funny. It is not even just sad – it is a disappointment. It is disillusioning - it’s pathetic and probably a sign of pathology.

Is it more important than the rate of unemployment, the economy or the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? No.

Do I care? Nope.

However, looking at the bigger picture, the gentleman has a social contract with his fans, especially the younger fans, to live-up to his public persona and be the person with the integrity to be a pitchman for various products.

And just as important, what about his responsibilities to the game of golf. He has been the gold standard for the sport. In his star capacity, he has attracted many young players – and viewers – to the game. This cannot be good for golf.

In another Boston Herald piece; this time by Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa, “Face it, Web full of Tiger Woods’ bad lies,” they introduce Mr. Woods:

“Just two months ago, fairway philanderer Tiger Woods told his loyal Facebook friends that he and bride Elin are basically a ‘boring’ couple, a pair of homebodies who like to hang on the couch, watch TV and play video games.

“Ummmm, might be time to update the old profile, Tiger.

“‘I think Elin and I have avoided a lot of media attention because we’re kind of boring,’ wrote the world’s greatest golfer, who is now accused of a string of tawdry liaisons with - among others - a porn star, a cocktail waitress, a Vegas club hostess and waitress in a pancake house.”

Ouch!

It will only get worse. Perhaps the next shoe to drop will be folks selling the tabloids pictures of Mr. Woods in compromising positions in an unflattering context?

Meanwhile, one may only imagine how many more women will come forward alleging to have played with Mr. Woods in the sand trap. (Porn star Joslyn James brings the number of women linked to Tiger Woods to 11 FOXNews; Meet porn star Joslyn James or 'Tiger Woods' alleged mistress No. 'This is so ...)

And one wonders how many of his sponsors will keep him on: Gatorade ends Tiger-themed drinks, says move preplanned USA Today - Michael McCarthy - ‎1 hour ago‎ AP By Michael mccarthy, USA TODAY The first dent in Tiger Woods' gold-plated endorsement portfolio appeared Tuesday as Gatorade said it was dropping its ...; Tiger Woods: Below-par sales doom Gatorade's Tiger Focus Chicago Tribune; Gatorade drops Tiger Woods product FOXNews; Tiger Woods ads disappear from airwaves Boston Herald; and the Wall Street Journal (blog)

As far as his marriage; according to Ms. Goddard:

“The couple are believed to be talking with lawyers over the future of their marriage, after Ms Nordegren discovered that he had been cheating on her and allegedly chased him from the house brandishing a golf club - a confrontation that ended with Woods crashing his Cadillac Escalade into a tree at 2.25am on November 27.”

In the latest installment of this Kabuki theatre morals drama from hell it appears that the sporting magazine “Golf Digest” believes that Mr. Woods ought to embark on yet another tour – a speaking tour about how to multi-task one’s career and marriage; all the while becoming one of golfing’s greats...

Golf Digest has featured Mr. Woods in its upcoming January 2010 edition with a cover headline, “10 Tips Obama can take from Tiger.” Larger: http://twitpic.com/srs5w

At this point, we certainly hope the president is not taking any advice from Mr. Woods because once First Lady Michelle Obama finished with him, having a car crash at 2:25 am would be the least of President Obama’s worries and our great nation would probably be looking forward to how President Joe Biden would solve our nation’s woes.

Ms. Goddard calls to our attention: “The episode has left Woods’s image as a clean-living sports icon in tatters - lending irony to the front cover of Golf Digest magazine’s January issue, which went to press before the sex scandal broke.

“The magazine features a mocked-up picture of Woods acting as caddie to President Obama, to illustrate an article headlined ‘10 Tips Obama can take from Tiger’. The feature, now causing some embarrassment at Golf Digest, suggests that the President, struggling to turn around a recession, could learn the art of ‘the quick recovery’ from the famously adept golfer.”

“‘Woods is a good role model...because he has always been able to pull himself together after setbacks,’ it notes, also observing:

“‘Woods never does anything that would make himself look ridiculous.’”

David Letterman reveals affairs, extortion attempt

David Zurawik – “Z on TV:” David Letterman reveals affairs, extortion attempt

October 1, 2009

CBS "Late Show" host David Letterman shocked his audience Thursday with the revelation that he had sexual relationships with female staffers on his show and that he has been the target of an extortion attempt because of the acts.

The 62-year-old comedian told his studio audience during the taping of Thursday night's show that he had received threats to pay someone $2 million or his relationships with female employees would be made public.

Letterman said he turned the matter over to the district attorney's office in Manhattan, which set up a sting operation that resulted in the arrest of the person behind the blackmail attempt.

I Pledge To Respond To Matt Lewis by Rachel Sklar 6:38 pm, September 5th, 2009:

My pal and Bloggingheads buddy Matt Lewis has taken issue with my post today about how crazy this whole uproar about President Barack Obama’s address to schoolchildren is (”President Obama Is Coming For Your Children“). Well, he sorta thinks President Obama is coming for your children — why isn’t the question for these kids, “What can you do to help America?” not “What can you do to help the President?” He doesn’t like all the Obama-based propaganda being thrown at schoolkids, and he thinks my suggestion that part of the vociferous response against All Things Obama is coded racism is ridonk.

Matt drew my attention to a video about Obama that I had forgotten about: the “I Pledge” video put together by Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore for Inauguration, featuring celebs like Cameron Diaz, Jason Bateman, Eva Mendes, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, will.i.am, Jenna Elfman, Alyssa Milano, Gina Gershon, Diddy, Nicole Richie, Kevin Connolly, Lucy Liu, Molly Sims, a weirdly grown-up Dakota Fanning and others. Apparently some school in Utah
showed the video to students, which a local conservative leader called “radical, leftist propaganda.” I think that might be a bit much but there is no doubt that a few of the personal “pledges” made by some participants dip into controversy somewhat.

Anyhow – you can read my initial post
here and his response here. The response below was blurted out into the Townhall comments section, but it limits you to 2,000 character replies and I CLEARLY had more to say. Then Townhall spammed me utterly, leaving me smeary and covered in goo. Ew. But, it was that bad and I’m still dealing with it, so you can deal.

You simply must read the rest. Find it here: http://www.mediaite.com/online/i-pledge-to-respond-to-matt-lewis/
