MSNBC Courts Al Sharpton sporting a new do for his new gig
Image via Wikipedia
I know that Al Sharpton sat in for Cenk somebody who is leaving his show but just now watched him interview two female Latinas, Hispanics or Mexicans, not sure what they are now, and he is just everywhere. We know that MSNBC is the most liberal of all the stations, wonder why? I know why. But heard rumors that Al was going to take over the young turk slot when that Turk gets the boot, oops he said he resigned. My bad. Anyway, Al Sharpton was speaking to these two women because the GOP snubbed their little party and none of them showed up but Obama did.

Cenk Uygur continued his anti-MSNBC tour on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” Sunday–and he suggested that he was getting replaced because Al Sharpton, the man all-but-certain to succeed him as the network’s 6 PM host, is friendlier to the White House.
Uygur left MSNBC very publicly last week, claiming that the network implied to him that his anti-Washington “tone” was not in keeping with the “establishment” bent that MSNBC was trying to cultivate. MSNBC has strongly denied the claims, insisting that it was just giving Uygur television style tips.
Speaking to a slightly skeptical Howard Kurtz, Uygur repeated his charges. Kurtz said that Uygur seemed not to have any direct evidence that MSNBC was caving to political pressure by admonishing him. Uygur replied that he didn’t know who the “people in Washington” that MSNBC Phil Griffin said had a problem with him were. Then, he turned to Sharpton.

Yes, Mexicans do have more fatal car accidents
http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/departments/nrd-30/ncsa/stsi/48_TX/2009/48_TX_2009.htm
Here are the stats and in some instances the fatalities in Texas are greater by percent higher than the national average. Beside that mexicans have more fatal accidents including killing themselves, other mexicans, and other people than any other group almost combined by percentage.
Today saw a cement truck that was overturned with a huge light pole also in the street exactly where I cross the bridge when I ride my bike downtown. If anyone had been at that intersection they would have been killed. So I watch and a white man was driving the cement truck and then I saw a Mexican woman standing outside of a large red pickup truck. So she had to be involved somehow in this accident which shut down the intersection for five hours off I 30. Why would you have to stand and wait if you are not involved. Every accident I see here or hear about involves a Mexican, drunk, teens, or not drunk but still can’t freaking drive or just don’t give a shit or simply cannot read the English road signs in my adopted state but it’s so sad to see every day.
The last day of school a nice, new car was involved in a three car accident right in the school parking lot. A Mexican with no insurance had hit a rich white womans car and another one too somehow. All in the parking lot.

Excerpt from Breivik Manifesto: Mad at British, Brown, Blair for “Muslim influence”
Image via Wikipedia
Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/8655175/Oslo-explosion-live-coverage.html
Among the “cultural traitors”named in Breivik’s rambling 1,500 page manifesto were Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and the Prince of Wales.Written in perfect, idiomatic English and datelined “London, 2011″, the “European Declaration of Independence” is laced with references to British politicians, journalists and public figures seen as “targets”.
The manifesto, which took Breivik three years to write, is part terrorists’ handbook, part autobiography and part extremist political rant. It has provided police with a mine of information which will help establish whether the gunman had accomplices.
Gordon Brown’s picture appears alongside that of Hitler in a gallery of “war criminals” who have failed to halt the spread of Islam, and Breivik says Gordon Brown was “colluding with” Islamic terror groups by making “London the global centre of Islamic banking“. He adds: “Brown is giving Muslims more influence over our lives yet knows that terrorists are organising to go to war with us.”
Jack Straw and Tony Blair are named because they “‘dishonestly’ concealed a plan to allow in more immigrants and make Britain more multicultural”.
8.52 The hunt is on for possible British accomplices of Anders Behring Breivikh after it emerged that he had met other Right-wing extremists in London. Our chief reporter Gordon Rayner reports:

The step-brother of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette Marit was among the 86 people killed on the island of Utoya, the royal court has announced.
Court spokeswoman Marianne Hagen says the victim was Trond Berntsen, an off duty policeman who was working as a security guard on the island. He is the son of Mette-Marit’s stepfather, who died in 2008.

In case you missed it: Drunken, Drugged Diane Schuler Wrong-way driver killed 8 –updated
Image via Wikipedia
Update: Heloise recently watched the HBO special on TV. It was shockingly accurate and did not paint Diane as a woman who just happened to do something bad.
No. This woman had high levels of alcohol in her blood, pot and was last seen buying pain killers in a drug store, caught on camera. Some have suggested that the combo more like a drug cocktail could have made this driver incoherent and able to drive for many minutes down the wrong way. The sad part is that the woman who lost two girls in the crash completely trusted this woman. Watch it for yourself if you get the chance. I am convinced of two things now: the family was ethnically Jewish and this woman was at fault completely at fault.
In case you missed it: (I started that one) A woman full of drugs and alcohol drove down the highway with a car full of kids driving the wrong way had a head-on with another car killing a total of eight people. Naturally her husband Dave Schuler (Jewish) is going to great lengths to defend what the toxicology reports have cited as high levels of toxins in her blood. So Dave and Diane Schuler (both Jewish New Yorkers) are villified and now HBO has made a documentary “There’s something wrong with Aunt Diane” the final words of a little girl killed in the crash. She killed three adult men in the other SUV and in her car killed herself and a three kids. HBO http://conchordswiki.hbo.com/documentaries/theres-something-wrong-with-aunt-diane/index.html
Dave Schuler paid for the documentary and Rory Kennedy (see photo, the daughter of Robert Kennedy Jr., is producting it: http://www.newsday.com/long-island/suffolk/diane-schuler-s-husband-paid-for-movie-deal-1.2142008
Here’s another link with a strong view to this as a suicide murder. And yes, his name is Daniel and he has a brother named Jay Schuler. http://www.longislandpress.com/2009/08/13/taconic-crash-schulers-brother-in-law-furious/
Here’s one comment from 2009 from someone who has been closely following and has some interesting things to say about Daniel and Diane:
The more i read about this case, the clearer it gets. She argued with them at McDonalds to get her kids their last favorite meal and let them play in the playground there since she was gearing up for murder/suicide. It was premeditated, she fed the kids, got her OJ mixer to go, and peeled out of that gas station with a death wish, she drove like a maniac until she was numb enough to not care. She must have told her brother and sister in law something in those phone calls that sealed her fate, she left the phone and with it all hope of being stopped or saved, she drove up the Saw Mill to the Taconic, turned around and came back to end it all. She was not confused, she was building up her nerve. The phone probably got dumped because the kids kept calling home and interferring with her death wish plan, as soon as she knew they were coming to look for her, as soon as the kids said what the road signs said, she went in the opposite direction, north, up the Saw Mill so they would be looking in the wrong place. She was not confused, she was still making premediated decisions to carry out the plan. Then she told her brother she was on Southern State Parkway on Long Island, come on, no matter how drunk you are you can tell the difference between the 2 mile long Tappan Zee toll bridge soaring over the Hudson and Southern State pkwy. She had gone through the toll literally 30 seconds before making the call. She didn’t crash into the toll booth and was able to pull over to the pull off on the right shoulder. The 4 or 5 right hand toll lanes there are all cash only, since they claim they checked the time on her ezpass, that means she probably went through tolls on the left and had to navigate across at least 5 lanes of toll plaza traffic to the pull off without hitting anything.
On page 10 of the police report, a witness describes travelling north on the Taconic at 1:15 pm and being cut off by the minivan ALSO TRAVELLING NORTH getting on the Taconic from the Saw Mill Parkway. This is right where the crash happened, about 200 yards north of the Saw Mill/Taconic merge. This means she went up the Taconic past the crash site, then turned around and got back on the same exit ramp in the wrong direction. She scouted the route! Probably saw a perfect spot to end it all and headed back down the road heading south knowing what was going to happen and where, there is a blind curve with a hill right at the crash site, no chance for the unwitting accessory to the crime to react evasively. There are two (2) turnarounds in that stretch of road, plus a lot of wide grass median and shoulder to change your mind if you wanted to.
This is not the ‘mommy’s a secret addict’ story like the media has jumped on the bandwagon with to no end, she was uniquely crazy and suicidal and had to know what she was doing. Those people know what happened and have been protecting themselves since the brother first called the police and sugar-coated the situation as ‘a possible medical emergency’ and the husband only can say ’she was sober when she left..” not my fault. CYA.
Also, the husbands story about the vodka being his is total BS. He drinks beer, very few men drink vodka as their drink of choice, especially when they are beer drinkers. Vodka is a chick drink.
I read the story in NY Magazine that said how Diane Schuler cut her mother out of her life completely since the age of 9, pretending she did not exist due to her leaving the family, even though the other siblings and her father did not and her mother reached out to her for a relationship, stating it was her choice to keep her away. That is a huge thing to hold inside for 27 years. Interestingly, the 27 year timeframe is relevant also, in terms of cosmic cycles. Anyway, I do think this is the elemental key to the whole story. The public photos released of her wedding are telling, how could she, or anyone there, not be thinking about her mother, who was not invited. How do you go through your wedding day holding that inside? Since it was her wedding day, everyone had to suck it up and it was all about her and not mentioning the obvious absence, the rest of the family would have invited her to such an event. Then having children and depriving them of their grandmother, and vice-versa. This pattern of controlling social situations and punishing people who love you most due to perceived transgressions only makes me believe the murder/suicide theory. Did she punish her husband and brother for something we will never know about? I think everyone needs closure on this case, I am on the side of the victims who feel there is much more to the story.
Was it was the husband having the affair or her? There was a wrong number dialed from her phone to a guy in Oyster Bay, only 10 minutes from where she works that morning. How coincidental that a random wrong number would go so close to home. Maybe the kids had the phone and accidently dialed a contact or recent call? She was left to her own devices when he was at work. Anyway, i think it was the kids who called their father, not her, and then the truth came out. Or the husband confronted her about this other guy and it blew up? He went camping thursday morning, she came up friday night with all the kids. What happened Thursday night?

Winehouse and Fielder Drugging it out
Amy and her husband Fielder-Civil both skipping their way down the broad road to destruction: drugs. They were not just two London/British Jews in love with each other both from obscurity into the fame depot with songs from Amy’s “Back to Black” rocking the music world as one of the best albums ever.
Well, some of us have had earthshaking love affairs and I should know, I’ve had more than one. And love is a muse and acts as rocket fuel for the heart and mind. There’s no cure for alcoholism and the only cure for love gone bust is time.

Watch Interview: Nafissatou Diallo to Robin Roberts “I want him to go to jail” (updated)
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/dominique-strauss-kahn-maid-speaks-abc-news-14150523 here’s the link for the interview and below is my quick blog of the interview as I watched it this morning.
Good Morning America (Nightline tonight ) is starting off the morning with the interview. She sits in a white blouse and pink top and hair is straightened to her shoulders and she is a cafe au lait color. We know that she also gave a print interview with NEWSWEEK. She has a large round face, thirtyish. A nice figure and a convincing witness to the print editor. We know the woman is poor and was making over 45K a year. She also has a 15 YO daughter and fear of losing a good job with Sofitel.
She said “I’m telling you the truth” and she is crying and wiping her eyes. Nightline will have an interview also. But Nafissatou Diallo will give first interview with Robin Roberts today on GMA she wants him to go to jail. Everybody wants to see her photo and know what she’s like. The prosecutors are thinking of not going forward with the case. She said she went into the room and said to him “I’m sorry” and he grabbed her breasts and said “you don’t have to be sorry.” Her nickname is Naffi.
She said “Stop this, stop this but he wouldn’t stop and kept pushing me to the hallway of the suite.” She claims she did not know who he was until someone told her that DSK was supposed to be the next president of France. Her first thoughts was that “they are going to kill me, they are going to kill me,” because he is such a powerful man.
