Sheriff’s Department reopens Natalie Wood case
The coroner originally ruled the actress’ 1981 death an accident, but investigators want to talk to the captain of the yacht Wood and her husband were on the weekend she died off Santa Catalina.

Thirty years after Natalie Wood died off Santa Catalina Island, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department announced Thursday that it was reopening the investigation into one of Hollywood’s most enduring mysteries.
Wood, 43, was boating off the island on Thanksgiving weekend 1981 with her husband, Robert Wagner, fellow actor Christopher Walken and others when she somehow went overboard and died. Officials at the time ruled her death an accident, but there has been much speculation since over whether there was more to the story.
Sheriff Lee Baca said detectives want to talk to the captain of the boat after learning of comments he recently made about what happened on board. Baca did not provide further details, adding only that the captain “made comments worthy of exploring.”

Hmm, “Statute of Limitations”.
Argh!
Waste of time and money.
Thirty years of forgotten memories.
Only on TV do these things get “solved”.

Anyone watch the “parade”?
The only “parading” in the first half-hour was the accidental peek one got as this celebrity or that touted their latest NBC show.
It was de facto all advertising.
Sucked!
Four plays had dance numbers. How’s that a “parade”?
I was so disappointed. And, I dvred it thinking like some of the awards shows it would have spots worth reseeing.
Not!
Boo to NBC4 and Macy’s.

Report: Taxpayers’ Entire TARP ‘Investment’ Lost in Bailout of United Commercial Bank
by Laura Rambeau Lee
*** begin quote ***
The Quarterly Report issued in October 2011 by the Special Inspector General of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) reveals the utter lack of oversight and mismanagement of funds in excess of $700 Billion Dollars.
*** and ***
The housing and mortgage crisis was a direct result of the increasing deregulation of the mortgage industry enabled by the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 and the federal government’s ideological philosophy that everyone should and must be afforded their dream of home ownership, regardless of their credit worthiness or their ability to repay the mortgage. The federal government, through coercive threats of lawsuits for discriminatory lending practices, forced these lenders to make these risky loans.
*** and ***
The programs offered by the administration have not produced any positive results for the people of this country. The SIGTARP report clearly reveals the arrogance of the Treasury Department in refusing to heed its recommendations to help struggling homeowners. It is Big Government that created this problem. It is time We the People got our bail out.
*** end quote ***
No, “We, The Sheeple” should cut out losses.
Along the way, the State authorities should investigate fraud and prosecute.
We should return to a “simpler” time of life — along with “too big to fail” is “too big to exist” — and pass a Constitutional amendment to prevent bailouts, subsidies, and other corrupt practices.
Argh!
The sad thing was that “tarp” was supposed to buy toxic assets and was perverted silently without discussion into bailouts.
Why are we still permitting bailed out companies to pay “bonuses”?
Why are we still funding Fannie and Freddie?
Why are we still allowing this to go on?
Argh!
The Gooferment has no business “investing” in anything!!!

How Do You Resist?
Posted by Michael S. Rozeff on November 21, 2011 05:16 AM
*** begin quote ***
The TSA has the guns and they have what is called “law”. How does one resist? Peacefully, that comes first. I really do not know, and I don’t know what will do good and what won’t. And I don’t know what will cause you more trouble than you want to bear. I also think that resistance is a personal matter that depends on your personal circumstances, so that there is no one way to resist.
*** end quote ***
Hit them in the pocketbook. I refuse to take air travel. And, I irritate anyone I know who does do air travel with questions like: “how did you enjoy your proctology exam”, “how much of your time did security waste”, and “you got to the airport how much in advance”. In my blog, I try to find TSA stories to report that are funny or outrageous. I may not be able to change the world, but I am trying to give it a health shove.

A Mexican girl has become a mother at the age of just 10, according to reports.
The youngster arrived at a hospital in the city of Puebla, suffering from life-threatening complications in her 31-week pregnancy, including seizures.
She gave birth by Caesarean section to a boy weighing 3.3lb at the Women’s Hospital in the city, 60 miles south-east of Mexico City.

Is this true?
If so, terrible. If not, good.
The UK Daily Mail is usually reliable.

Joe Paterno in line for $500,000 pension
Coach transferred full ownership of his house to his wife for $1 in July

It has also been confirmed that Sandusky collects $59,000 annual pension and withdrew $148,000 upon retirement from his job at Penn State, according to records obtained by the Associated Press.
*** end quote ***
One would assume that this transfer would be found “fraudulent” since it was OBVIOUSLY intended to save it from a civil judgement.

$100 million pension for stapling a finger?
Cop seeks sweet disability after accidental shooting
Posted: November 15, 2011
*** begin quote ***
As he was preparing to shoot, a burst of wind tore a Q-shaped target from its wooden post. Onesti picked up a staple gun and tried to reattach the target — and what happened next could end up costing state taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Onesti, 27 at the time, accidentally fired a staple into the base of his left ring finger, records show. He put a Band Aid on the wound and successfully completed the tests. But after two operations Onesti says he still can’t do his job, and is now one of a record number of public employees across the state seeking an accidental disability pension for life.

You have to be joking!

Penn State Games Lose Sponsorship Deals
BY SUZANNE VRANICA
*** begin quote ***
About a half-dozen advertisers have pulled commercials from ESPN’s broadcasts of coming Pennsylvania State University football games, a person familiar with the matter said, a sign that the scandal at Penn State is causing fallout among marketers.
*** end quote ***
Good!
Bout time someone came to their senses.
Hit them where they will really pay attention, their pockets.
I won’t be watching any Penn State sports and, any of their sponsors that come to my attention, I’ll skip. Even if it’s a beloved product, I’ll switch.
Maybe that will get their attention?

The Last Bayonet Charge in Vietnam
A Veterans Day Retrospective on Our Veterans Today Senior Editor and a Marine – Gordon Duff
Intro by… Jim W. Dean
*** begin quote ***
In Vietnam, as with Afghanistan, we sent an army to a hopeless war led by the most corrupt leadership in America’s history.
In Vietnam, a generation of Americans was systematically destroyed, with the best and brightest of the generation “doing time” in Vietnam, combat units, while “bottom feeders” sat in Saigon and DaNang.
Those shirkers an “no accounts” have given us the America we have today, broke, addicted to propaganda and fear, obsessed with safety, a generation ducking responsibility and leadership, borrowing from tomorrow to steal today.
The number of members of congress who ducked Vietnam through imaginary illness, special arrangements for “safe” National Guard units or simply deferment after deferment created a list of “chickenhawks” that became a national shame.
Those that ducked service in Vietnam were the first to push for war after war for the children of those who fought.
Who would have imagined this or have believed they could have gotten away with it?
*** end quote ***
The day after Veterans’ Day, and all the problems remain. And, the “chickenhawks” are trying to drum up a war with Iran.
Vote Ron Paul!
