Did you know that Palin's Extramarital Affair


FOX News Is Ignoring Reports About Palin's Extramarital Affair
Reported by Ellen - September 26,

When the National Enquirer broke the news a few months ago about John Edwards' extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter, there was a steady stream of stories and discussions about it on FOX News although Edwards was no longer a candidate by then. Yet FOX News has been ignoring the same tabloid's report about an extramarital affair between current vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her husband's former business partner, Brad Hanson.

According to the San Jose Mercury News, the McCain campaign has threatened legal action against the Enquirer. But the Enquirer says it has three sources from Hanson's family, including one who signed a sworn affidavit, and has published the story.

Pretty juicy stuff, eh? Just the kind of thing that FOX News couldn't get enough of when it involved Democrat John Edwards. Hannity & Colmes even devoted a full show to his scandal (plus more segments in other shows). On August 8, 2008, Sean Hannity said, “I applaud the Enquirer” for investigating Edwards because “He's running for president... He's a contender for vice president or was.” But here we have an actual vice presidential candidate and... silence.

Dynasty star Heather Locklear arrested after 'erratic driving while on prescription drugs'

Struggling even to stand up, this picture shows Dynasty actress Heather Locklear being helped from a police car after being stopped for driving under the influence of prescription drugs.
Officers were called after Locklear was seen revving her engine loudly and repeatedly reversing over a pair of sunglasses in a car park in Santa Barbara, California.
She then stumbled about in moving traffic, it is claimed.
Officers help Heather Locklear from her vehicle












Police made the 47-year-old balance on one foot to see if she was sober - but she had to steady herself on a road sign.
Police said a witness, who didn't recognise the star, reported that she had stopped on a nearby highway and left her car, apparently stumbling into traffic.
Alcohol was ruled out after tests but Locklear was charged with driving under the influence of prescription medication and released on £2,700 bail.

Sopranos" actor Lillo Brancato Jr set to go to trial

Sopranos' actor's murder trial set
'

Armento is accused of firing the fatal shot.

Did you know man sued because doctor stapled a man's rectum shut?

Arguments began Monday in a federal lawsuit alleging that a Maryland doctor stapled a man's rectum shut during an operation, rendering him unable to move his bowels for 17 days, the Baltimore Examiner reported.
Ronald Watkins, 64, of West Virginia, has accused Dr. Manuel Casiano, a doctor in Frederick County, Maryland for botching a September 2004 surgery that left him with permanent bowel problems, according to the report.
But an attorney representing Casiano told jurors the doctor did not staple Watkins' buttocks shut.
Attorney Conrad Varner said Watkins’ bowels became “swollen shut” because of medical problems — not because of stapling and that his two-pack-a-day smoking habit added to his bowel problems, the Examiner reported.
Watkins' attorney, Julia Lodowski argued that the medical error was in fact caused by Casiano and has led Watkins to experience continual “rectal discharge," which requires him to wipe himself between 12 and 15 times a day.
Lodowski said Watkins also needed four “unnecessary surgeries” because of the alleged mistake.

Why are Teachers having sex with students


Why are teachers having sex with students does anyone know. It has been going on for years, even centuries. At one point in time it was male teachers having sex with female students, now female teachers are pushing the envelope and having sex with male students and in some cases even having homosexual relationships. What is so unsettling is the fact that these women are willing to throw there lives away, and go to jail. Then say that it was all done in the name of love. Why? What fixation could cause such mental instability to think that they can continue to have sex with these young men and keep their job? Reality check, did this teacher not know she could go to jail? Holly Hatcher, was a High School teacher in Gallatin, Tennessee, before she was charged with 3 counts of statutory rape, because she had sex with one of her students. The ultimate shock is that these relationship are becoming more apparent with female teacher and a young male student to most people. I think that the penalty that women should suffer should be a stiffer. Simply because if it was a man, they would want to lock up up an throw the key sway!
