From Iran: David Duke, former KKK leader and Randy Graf supporter, appeared at a Holocaust denial conference in Tehran.
...and some CD8 Republicans still wonder how Randy Graf was perceived as too extreme for the district.
From Chile: This weekend, former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet followed Ken Lay's example on how to avoid facing justice for his crimes.
He died.
We don't have to worry about this fate befalling any of the officials of the current Presidential administration - W can pardon them preemptively. Hell, the pardon papers are probably already printed and filled out.
The only real question is if, under the U.S. Constitution, a President can self-pardon.
From New York: A Manhattan court has sent a firm message that hardcore criminals will not be tolerated. Cindy Sheehan was convicted of trespassing for trying to deliver anti-Iraq war petitions to the U.S. mission to the United Nations.
From Baghdad: 57 people died in car bomb attacks.
And the Bush Admin thinks that *protesting* the war non-violently is a crime, but *fighting* it is OK?
From Cleveland: U.S. Rep Dennis Kucinich announced his candidacy for the 2008 Democratic nomination for the Presidency.
No wiseass comment here; I don't think he has a snowball's chance of winning, but he should make the campaign rhetoric interesting.
From Houston: Keith Turner was sentenced to 90 years in prison (has to serve 30 years before being eligible for parole) for his role in a vicious and brutal racially-motivated attack. His partner in the crime, David Henry Tuck, was previously convicted and sentenced to life in prison for his role in the crime.
Turner is 17; Tuck is 18.
I wrote about the attack in late April; at the time, the victim was not expected to survive.
After a huge number of operations (and, I assume, rehab sessions), he is well enough to testify that he couldn't remember anything about the attack.
The sentences aren't long enough. Not by a long shot.
And finally, the most important news -
In Chattanooga, TN: The Minutemen as scheduled to invade Chattanooga on Friday, December 15.
No, not the group of David Duke-wannabes dedicated to fearlessly protecting our country from poor brown people looking for work.
Nope, the Minutemen I'm talking about are the members of the University of Massachusetts' football team.
They're in the 1-AA championship game, facing the Mountaineers of Appalachian State University (NC).
Have a great night!
