Authorities haven't suggested there's evidence of it, but they say they haven't ruled out that the alleged Fort Hood shooter was acting on behalf of some unidentified radical group. Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan is accused in the shooting rampage that killed 13 people and wounded 30 more yesterday in Texas in the in the worst mass shooting ever on a military base in the U.S. Law enforcement officials say Hasan came to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.

Four inmates at the Orient Rd Jail are being called heroes after they rushed to help Deputy Kenneth Moon on Monday when another inmate brutally attacked him. Three men, Jerry Dieguez Jr., Hoang Vu and Terrell Carswell worked to pull the inmate off the deputy while David Schofield grabbed a radio and monitored for help. Officials believe Deputy Moon escaped the ordeal alive, suffering only from cuts and scratches, largely because of the help he received. (Read More | Audio)

These men are all being held on serious charges ranging from armed home invasion aggravated assault to failure to register as a sex offender, cocaine trafficking, and even attempted murder.
Yes – They saved a man’s life.
No – They deserve a “thank you” for this but must pay the price for their crimes.
No – But they should be rewarded in another way.

A man from California who aimed a laser beam at two airliners as they approached an airport in 2008 has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in federal prison. Officials say 37-yr-old Dana Welch is the first person to be convicted at trial of interfering with pilots by aiming lasers at their planes. The beam struck one pilot in the eye, causing "flash blindness," and interfered with pilots' ability to land the other aircraft. (Read More | Audio)

We all know that this is serious but is 2-1/2 years too much?
Yes - The guy is moron who deserves some time but not this.
No - This is VERY serious and he has been made an example of.

An attorney for a man who lost out on a $1 million jackpot says the Texas Lottery Commission still considers the store clerk who allegedly stole the ticket to be the winner. The debacle began in May when, according to police and lottery investigators, 67-yr-old Willis Willis walked into a local food mart with a winning Mega Millions ticket. Willis’ attorney claims that the clerk behind the counter told his client that his ticket was a loser and later cashed the prize himself. Lottery lawyers said they empathized with the out-of-work maintenance man but that Willis had "no recourse" with them. The ticket bearer is the winner, they said. Indicted or otherwise. (Read More | Audio)

This guy was dumb enough to give up his ticket. Does the lottery owe him anything?
Yes – He was conned out of it.
No – He’s an idiot.
No – That’s their policy BUT the guy can sue the con-man for the money.

A woman in Wisconsin was arrested for DUI after she called police herself to tell them she was driving drunk. Quote, "Somebody's really drunk driving down Granton Road," Mary Strey told the 911 dispatcher. The dispatcher asked if Strey was behind the drunk driver, to which she replied "No, I am them." The dispatcher asked, "Okay, so you're calling to report you're driving drunk?" "Yes," Strey said. After making the call, Mary Strey pulled off to the side of the road and waited for a deputy to arrive. She failed all of her sobriety tests and blew a .19 on the breathalyzer, more than twice the legal limit. (Read More | Part of the 9-1-1 call | Audio)

Should the cops go easy on this woman because she realized she was too drunk to be driving and then called police to report herself?
Be lenient – No harm, no foul
She deserves exactly what anybody else would get

  • Important 10 Second Take Topic to air
    I'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 Take
    In 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 Take
    the last two listed on the obama bookies and the memorial don't match what you can vote on.

    Ummm 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 Mcdonalds
    I 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!

    Child 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!
