Thursday, November 20, 2009 A group representing St. Nick’s across the United States is asking that Santa be given priority for swine flu shots. The Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas says the shots aren’t to protect the Santas themselves, but to quote, “help protect the public.” AORBS says they’re already urging their Santas to use hand sanitizer and take vitamins to boost their immune system, but they feel the swine flu shots will really keep them from exposing germs to other children.

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 Officials say a police officer in Arkansas will NOT be disciplined for using his taser on a child. Officer Dustin Bradshaw said 10-yr-old Kiara Hamlert was on the floor, screaming and crying, when he was called out to take her to a youth shelter last week. After the girl became combative – striking Bradshaw in the groin – her mother told the officer to use his taser. Bradshaw says he administered a quote, “very, very brief” stun, put her in handcuffs and carried her to his patrol car. Although Kiara’s mother suggested the discipline, the girl’s father is NOT happy; quote, "Ten years old and [they] shot electricity through her body, and I want to know how the heck in God's green earth can they get away with this . . .” (Read More | Audio) |
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 An Army cook/single mom may face criminal charges after she skipped her deployment flight to Afghanistan because, she said, no one was available to care for her child while she was overseas. 21-yr-old Spc. Alexis Hutchinson she had no choice but to refuse deployment orders because the only family she had to care for her 10-month-old son — her mother — was overwhelmed by the task. A spokesman said the Army would not have deployed a single parent who had nobody to care for his or her child. Quote, “"If she would have come to the deployment terminal with her child, there's no question she would not have been deployed." (Read More | Audio) |

Thursday, November 12, 2009 Police say Marine reservist Jasen Bruce has changed his story about beating a Greek Orthodox priest with a tireiron earlier this week, and now, many people are requesting that the incident be investigated as a possible hate crime. On a 911 tape and to arriving officers, Bruce allegedly insisted that he thought Alexious Marakis was a terrorist; he later changed his tune, saying the priest groped him sexually. Ahmed Bedier of the Tampa Human Rights Council is just one person who believes the charges in this case should be more serious. Quote, "This fits the classic definition of a hate crime. The suspect attacked the victim on the perception he was Arab or Muslim and made references to that in the 911 call and when police arrived, describing him as an Arab terrorist."

What others are saying
- obama as jockerIf you say anything bad about Obama it is racest but if you say anything bad about Bush it is not. Why?
- sex offendersdid you know that not everyone on the sex offenders web site is a rappist or child molester?I know someone only bought an outlaw biker magazine 4 someone who was 16 an now has to register 4 life what a waste of law enforcement and he went to prision 4 it too! whats your oppinion on that?
- Important 10 Second Take Topic to airI've asked about 10 people if they knew where Hidden Valley was, and they all said California. The fact that one of them answered the question at all should void the name of the valley. They should be required to change their name to something else...like "Valley In California That Most People Know About". But it's definitely not hidden.
- Thursdays Toll 10 Second TakeIn my opinion everyone missed the point with their comments. We are in a financial crisis in this country, with that said, why would we be removing more employment opportunities from the American work force regardless of how menial the job may be. If automation replaces workers, then lets see how much money the automated system puts back into the economy.
- 10 Second Takethe last two listed on the obama bookies and the memorial don't match what you can vote on.
- 10 Second TakeUmmm anyone notice that the last two are flipflopped? Or is it just me?
- Obama Shirt.About that kid who wore the Obama shirt, one he's 11 so he probably doesn't even know what the hell he's talking about anyway and he probably just heard his family say that at the dinner table. Good, congratulations it's awesome to see someone standing up for what they believe in but you really don't need to protest about Obama AT SCHOOL. Also if you're going to hate someone it shouldn't be off of such weak grounds, I'm sure that the 11 year old boy isn't that up to date the candidates of an election that he can't even vote in... and if he was he'd probably be smart enough not to wear that shirt to school. The shirt doesn't even look like a kids hand writing! Mom, Dad?
- Muslims vs McdonaldsI am all for equall rights, freedom or religion, and everything else we are supposed to stand for as Americans! But, to wear a hijab is going against the work uniform, make an exception for them and others will want exceptions too!! Honestly, they probably knew Mcdonalds wouldn't hire them..and puposely went in there with intent to sue!! They do not deserve special rights because of religion...Some catholics and Christians still work on Sunday which is their Holy Day, otherwise every one could make up reasons to have exceptions....I am fat I shouldn't have to wear my striped shirt at footlocker when I go in to work..., but I do!! Other religions conformed for modern America...bout time they do, or buy your own land, and go live like the Amish....they don't have to get hired anywhere...the live off the land!
- RAYSGO TAMPA BAY
- Child Rape not Capital PunishmentChild rape is just like murder. When a child is abused sexually, the child/person that could have been dies. They are never the same person!
