Monday- September 10- 2007 - NEWS inDIGESTion


* WASHINGTON-D.C. - It didn't take as long as we've already been in Iraq to defeat the Axis Powers in World War-II. Do NOT be confused however- THAT was a noble cause/war started by a clear enemy the President didn't have to lie to the American people about.
Today- American diplomat for Iraq- Ambassador Ryan Crocker and the head of military operations in Iraq- General David Petraeus meet with the equally-ineffective Congress in hearings on Bush's Folly.
Unconfirmed is a report that if the Ambassador and the General see their shadows in D.C. today- we'll have 6 more years of war....

* WASHINGTON D.C. - Incredulously- disgraced by a sex-sting Senator Larry Craig of Idaho will try to recant his guilty plea after being caught trying to solicit sex from an undercover police sergeant at the Minneapolis airport in June.
Craig's excuse for recanting his guilty-as-Hell plea? He claims he was "hounded by the press" to resign.
I guess saving himself- his family and the good people of Idaho further embarrassment wasn't good reason enough for him to STFU and take it like a - man?

* ODESSA-TX - Three police officers responded to a domestic disturbance in this West Texas town Saturday night and all three cops were shot and two were killed by the armed male half of that disturbance.
The shooter was taken into custody after a standoff later that night and is being incarcerated.

* JENA-LA - Reverand Al Sharpton cannot mind his own business and is going to Jena where a gang of black kids set upon a lone white kid- beat him up- and then the members of the gang were arrested and charged. Rev. Sharpton- eerily quiet when a black entertainer recently was booted off a stage using the "N" word- one would logically assume is making sure the beat-up kid gets justice (NOT).

SHEBOYGAN-WI - A female employee of a factory in this northern Wisconsin town was shot and killed by a gunman early Monday. It isn't known yet if the shooter left the Rockline factory or was still inside the building..

* NEAH BAY-WA - The elders of the Native American Makah tribe have denounced the harpooning and machine-gunning of a California gray whale- while the guilty tribesmen expressed "pride" over their act.

* INDEPENDENCE-MO - Police should have DNA results today of bones they found Sunday morning in a shallow grave in neighboring Sugar Creek- thought to be the remains of Lindsey and Sam Porter.
The Porter children were taken by their father for a scheduled weekend visit in early June of 2004 and were never seen again. Their father and the lone suspect in their disappearance- Daniel Porter- is doing a 38-year stretch in prison on a related charge
