Orlando, Florida breaking news

The medical examiner confirmed that the body they found in Orlando, was Caylee Anthony. She said that the bones had not suffered any blunt force trauma. So, it looks as if Casey may get off on a manslaughter charge, if there is enough evidence in the case.

Casey Anthony is currently in jail. Caylee Anthony has been missing since June, and her grandmother reported her being missing in July when she found out. The mother claims that she left her with a babysitter. Rest in peace, Caylee.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – A pediatric neurosurgeon says a tumor he removed from the brain of a Colorado Springs infant contained a tiny foot and other partially formed body parts.

Dr. Paul Grabb said he operated on Sam Esquibel at Memorial Hospital for Children after an MRI showed a microscopic tumor on the newborn's brain. Sam was 3 days old and otherwise healthy.

Dr. Grabb said that while he was removing the growth, he discovered a foot, and a formation of another foot, hand and thigh.

Obama's Rick Warren pick irks liberals

From what I have read, People For The American Way are upset about this pick. They are one of the best known advocacy groups in Washington. They are not happy about this, and this is thought to be Obama making a statement to show willingness to reach across the aisle with Conservatives. Rick Warren's church has had protests in front of it due to Prop 8 in the past month or so.

The congressional committee putting together the inauguration earlier this afternoon announced that the program for President-elect Barack Obama's inaugural would include an invocation by Rick Warren, the celebrity preacher at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif.

Talk about weird names

I can't believe that someone would name their baby Adolf Hitler Campbell. They are upset because Shop Rite wouldn't put that name on their baby's birthday cake. Walmart did it for them. There were some angry internet postings about the baby's name also. I can certainly understand why. Click here.

Bush shoe-thrower "tortured"

When I first read this article, I thought, "oh, give me a break." It was probably due to where I got it from. Al Jazeera doesn't like the United States at all. With all the people protesting about the shoe-thrower being in prison, do you think that it is possible that he is being tortured?

An Iraqi journalist arrested after throwing his shoes at the US president has been tortured during his detention, his brother has said.

Muntazer al-Zaidi, who called George Bush "a dog" during his attack, was beaten by security guards after his arrest, Durgham al-Zaidi told Al Jazeera on Tuesday.

GOP video they are running in Ill. and John McCain speaks out

John McCain spoke out against this video. I couldn't believe it when I heard it on Fox News. Now that I think of it, it is a classic John McCain. Like he said in his campaign speeches, that if he didn't win, then Obama would be his President. If you will think about it, he has never been one for Partisan politics. Party loyalty means nothing to him. His campaign slogan was "Country First".

PoliticoHere is an excerpt:

"He's had a statement every single day, saying that the Obama team should reveal all contacts they've had with Governor [Rod] Blagojevich. He says that Obama's promise of transparency to the American people is now being tested. Do you agree with that?”

McCain replied: “I think that the Obama campaign should and will give all information necessary. You know, in all due respect to the Republican National Committee and anybody — right now, I think we should try to be working constructively together, not only on an issue such as this, but on the economy stimulus package, reforms that are necessary. And so, I don't know all the details of the relationship between President-elect Obama's campaign or his people and the governor of Illinois, but I have some confidence that all the information will come out. It always does, it seems to me.”

The entire Democratic caucus of the United States Senate signed on to a letter addressed to disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, urging him to resign his office. But the Democrats' motivation in calling for Blagojevich to step down has as much to do with the manner in which their caucus may get its next member from Illinois, as much as it has to do with standing against corruption in government. Democrats want Blagojevich to resign so that his lieutenant govenor, Pat Quinn (D), can appoint a successor to President-elect Obama, thereby guaranteeing a Democrat gets selected.

When the scandal first broke last week, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) immediately called for a special election to decide a replacement for Obama. But Democrats in the Senate are nervous that all of the bad publicity surrounding the Illinois Democratic Party will work in a Republican candidate's favor, giving Republicans a much better chance at winning the seat than they would ordinarily have. As a result, Durbin has quietly dialed back his call for a special election, and Senate Democrats drafted their letter. Democrats are also made nervous by the fact that Republicans generally perform better in special elections, and have already won three such contests since Election Day.

Faced with the choice of losing a reliably Democratic Senator or saddling up to the corrupt Illinois Democratic machine, Senate Democrats have chosen the latter. The text of the letter makes it clear that Senate Democrats want no part of leaving the decision of selecting the next Illinois Senator in the hands of the people.

"It is within the power of the Illinois state legislature to remove your power to make this appointment by providing for a special election. But a decision by you to resign or step aside under Article V of the Illinois Constitution would be the most expeditious way for a new Senator to be chosen and seated in manner that would earn the confidence of the people of Illinois[.]"

But the best way to "earn the confidence of the people of Illinois," if that is truly the Democrats' intention, would be to let the people themselves make that decision through a special election. Senate Democrats, however, seem to consider that just too much of a risk to take.
