Bu byby----Michigan housing chief resigns after billing state for thousands for meals, travel

Michigan housing chief resigns after billing state for thousands for meals, travel | Crain's Detroit Business: "Scott Woosley, executive director of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, resigned Friday after reports surfaced of his seeking reimbursement for expensive meals, alcohol and travel while on state business.
After a story was published Thursday in the Detroit Free Press, Woosley issued a statement saying he would never expect the state to reimburse him for things he should not have been.
The spending was uncovered by the Michigan Democratic Party in a records request.
Documents showed Woosley billed the state for a dinner consisting only of 15-year-old rum, lunches at gourmet restaurants for hundreds of dollars and stays in five-star hotels while on overseas business.
On Thursday, Woosley asked the Treasury Department to determine if he received payment for anything he should not have, and if so, promised to write a personal check to reimburse the state.
Woosley said then he planned to “continue to do the good work we have started.”
Less than a day later, after calls from top Democrats for Woosley to resign, he did just that."

Police Shoot Man Holding Fake Gun—Near Fake Gun Aisle In Walmart

Police Shoot Man Holding Fake Gun—Near Fake Gun Aisle In Walmart - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"Police shot and killed a 22-year-old man inside a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio.
Other customers called the police after spotting the man, John Crawford, carrying what they believed to be a weapon.
However, Crawford's girlfriend—who dropped him off at the store moments before the shooting—claims he wasn't carrying a gun and didn't even own one.
Media reports are now suggesting that the weapon was actually a fake: an airsoft rifle a pellet gun,* which was sold in the sporting goods section of that very same Walmart.

 Crawford was on the phone with LeeCee Johnson, the mother of his two children, when he was shot.
Johnson told the Dayton Daily News that Crawford identified his fake gun to the police just before they fired at him:
“We was just talking.
He said he was at the video games playing videos and he went over there by the toy section where the toy guns were.
And the next thing I know, he said ‘It’s not real,’ and the police start shooting and they said ‘Get on the ground,’ but he was already on the ground because they had shot him,” she said, adding:
“And I could hear him just crying and screaming. I feel like they shot him down like he was not even human.”"

Appreciate China’s Big New Seaplane

Appreciate China’s Big New Seaplane:
"A good deal of polite Western snickering met the announcement that China was on the verge of building large seaplanes–an “old technology”, scoffed the haters, whose “heyday came and went with the demise of the Pan Am Trans-Oceanic Clipper”.
But at least one Chinese aviation commentator dispensed a bit of wisdom for the doubters:
“The old saying ‘A thousand days the country nurtures its soldiers and all for one day’s battle’ applies to the development of amphibious aircraft.
People say such equipment is becoming useless, but will eventually realize they are indispensable in maritime operations,”
The lesson is pretty clear–don’t dismiss old-looking tech.
And he’s right.
What looks like a useless piece of equipment to many of Washington’s vaunted hunters of “fifth and sixth-generation opponents”, is, in reality, the poor man’s MV-22. 
When fielded, these big amphibious planes will do a darn good job of disrupting the modern maritime battlefield.
Tactical Innovation:
Amphibious aircraft make a great, cost-effective means for littoral power projection.
Seaplanes also offer a great way to start building a corps of operators prepared to intuitively understand the speed and range advantages (and the attendant weaknesses!) of MV-22."

Pathetic "hate-America" wimps with power-------National Guard dumps Dale Earnhardt Jr.; GOP cites Obama pressure

National Guard dumps Dale Earnhardt Jr.; GOP cites Obama pressure | WashingtonExaminer.com:

The National Guard is ending its sponsorship of NASCAR and IndyCar racing teams and top racers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Graham Rahal, in a shocking move that some are blaming on President Obama and Senate Democrats.

The Guard said it will cut funding at the end of the year, claiming its contract is up after investing $44 million in the two sports. 

However, Hendrick Motorsports, the NASCAR team the Guard supports and the owner of Earnhardt's No. 88 Chevrolet, said the contract extends through 2015.

For fans, the decision means that the most popular driver in NASCAR is now without one of his top sponsors — and next year, his car, firesuits and hats will no longer carry the National Guard logo in huge letters.

Democrats had pushed the National Guard to stop spending money on the sponsorships, which were used for recruiting.

These pack killers aren't "Lassie"-----Four hunting dogs and a cow reported killed in three new wolf attacks; wolf also killed in cattle attack

Four hunting dogs and a cow reported killed in three new wolf attacks; wolf also killed in cattle attack | MLive.com:
"Wolf attacks on livestock and hunting hounds escalated this past week in the Upper Peninsula, with reports of three events just days apart.
Two reported attacks occurred on Monday and Wednesday in Schoolcraft and Delta counties, according to Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman Debbie Munson Badini.
A nearby resort owner said two hunting dogs were killed in each attack.
Days earlier, over the weekend in Dickinson County, a wolf killed one cow. The landowner also killed the wolf.
“It feels like a war zone. It’s scary man. It’s crazy,” said Bill Thome, owner of Kenbuck Resort in Schoolcraft County, near where the dogs were killed. He says there have been multiple sightings this summer."

Monster. Born that way or made that way?-------Playground stabbing suspect, 12, tells police: 'He did it because he is bad and always does stupid things'

Playground stabbing suspect, 12, tells police: 'He did it because he is bad and always does stupid things' | MLive.com:
"KENTWOOD, MI – Just before going to a playground at Pinebrook Village, Jamarion Lawhorn took a knife, with an 8-inch blade, from his kitchen and walked out with it at his side.
Michael Connor Verkerke, 9, was playing at the park with his brother.
Lawhorn didn’t know Connor.

He stabbed him in the back, then waited for police.
Connor ran home.
His father frantically put pressure on his wounds.
Connor, the son of Dani and Jared Verkerke, died an hour later at the hospital.
Soon after the killing, Lawhorn – with his mother and stepfather at his side – said simply: “I stabbed him.”
He told police he wanted to go to jail, or die.
His stepfather interrupted: “So you just went and stabbed somebody?”
The boy replied, “Yep. 
The statements are contained in a delinquency petition filed Friday in Kent County Circuit Court. Prosecutors are trying Lawhorn as an adult in the Monday, Aug. 4, killing.
The petition contains Kentwood Police reports that describe the horror of the attack - and Lawhorn’s response, both to neighbors immediately afterward, and to police at a hospital where he was taken.
“Jamarion was asked why he did that and he stated because he wanted to go to jail,” an investigator wrote."

Clear choice for voters------Unions, Environmentalists Spend Millions to Elect Michigan Dem

Unions, Environmentalists Spend Millions to Elect Michigan Dem | Washington Free Beacon:
"Radical environmentalists and big labor are pooling their resources to boost Michigan Democrat Rep. Gary Peter’s Senate campaign.
The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) and public sector union giant AFSCME announced on Thursday that they will pool together $2.1 million to aid Peters in his race against former Michigan Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land.
“We’re proud to join with AFSCME to inform Michigan voters that Rep. Gary Peters stands for public health protection and job creation,” LCV Senior Vice President for Campaigns Daniel J. Weiss said in a release on the organization’s blog.
Both groups have already spent large sums in the race.
AFSCME has spent nearly $1 million on two separate attacks ads against Land, according to FEC reports. LCV is Peters’ fifth largest contributor, donating nearly $25,000 to his campaign and PAC, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Peters has led the race for the entire summer and has outspent Land by almost $300,000 as of July, according to the Center for Responsive Politics."

The Geography of Horror

The Geography of Horror - The American Interest:
"There are two ways of looking at the record of these atrocities.
One is to see them as intrinsic to Islam, the other as an aberration of genuine Islam.
The first view is rarely proposed publically in the United States, though it may be quietly held by some Americans less affected by the prevailing culture of tolerance.
It is more openly stated in Europe, for example by the Dutch populist Geert Wilders, who admitted that he hated Islam as an enemy of freedom (among other things he proposed that the Quran, like Hitler’s Mein Kampf, should be banned in the Netherlands). 
It is also interesting to compare the different attitudes to Islamist terrorism by the successive administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Immediately after the attacks of September 2001 President Bush made a speech in which he declared that we are not at war with Islam but with terrorism.
(He also said that “Islam means peace”, which it does not. 
A linguistically challenged White House speech writer must have confused two Arabic words—salaam/”peace”, a common form of salutation among Muslims, and aslama/”submission”, the root of the religion’s name.
Not that this matters; Bush meant well.)
 The “war against terror” unleashed by the Bush administration has not gone well, to put it mildly. "

A Detroit Jury Did WHAT?!: An Absolute Travesty of Justice

A Detroit Jury Did WHAT?!: An Absolute Travesty of Justice:
"But ask yourself this: while Ted Wafer didn’t mean to kill her, isn’t the world better off without her? Isn’t the world better off before she did more drugs and drank more and killed who knows how many? Wafer was near tears when he testified about his remorse for accidentally shooting her. But he did the world a favor. And it wasn’t about race. It was about defending himself–his life–and his home.

Wafer’s attorney, Cheryl Carpenter, did an excellent job. There is nothing else she could have done or said. I followed the case online and watched the testimony. And I thought only an O.J. jury would have found Wafer guilty. Sadly, he got one of those juries. And he faces up to life in prison, plus an automatic two years in prison for any criminal conviction involving the use of a firearm (that’s Michigan criminal law, and I think it’s a form of double jeopardy, especially if the gun is legally owned, as Wafer’s was).

The police “investigation” in this case was an absolute joke. The Dearbornistan Heights police didn’t dust for fingerprints until nearly a week after the incident. In the meantime, race-pimping media whores held a “vigil” outside Wafer’s home. Countless people may have touched the house and left prints. Therefore, we don’t know if McBride had others with her that night who banged on the walls and windows all around his home.

And the case wasn’t about race. It all happened so fast, he didn’t have time to think about that and didn’t know the race of the person or persons banging on his home or his door until the last second. This was about a lowlife woman who made bad choices in life which brought her to this point–banged up from a one-car accident she caused in the middle of the night, driving from who knows what (a drug deal?). It was about a man who awoke to frightening banging all over his home in the middle of the night, and he tried to defend himself.

I doubt Wafer will get life in prison, but he’ll get some time and at least the two years because of the felony firearm law. And he may win on appeal to the conservative Michigan Court of Appeals. But in the meantime, he’ll lose everything–his money, his home, and his reputation (which he’s already lost to some extent). All for defending himself from a thug-ette lowlife."
