[NEWS.CINCINNATI] Three people -- including a nun and a longtime poll worker
That would be Melowese Richardson. The nun is a bit more than a cloistered naif -- click on the headline to read the details.
-- are facing charges related to improper voting.
The three are the first charged out of a Hamilton County Board of Elections'
That would be Cincinnati, Ohio, and some suburbs...
investigation that found a handful of people improperly cast at least two ballots that were counted in the November 2012 election.
"Elections are a serious business and the foundation of our democracy," Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said. "... individual votes may not seem important, but this could not be further from the truth."

...Some of the most viciously political people I've ever known were nuns or priests. While stationed at what used to be Wurtsmith AFB MI, a group of nuns, priests, and "lay workers" tried to sneak onto the base as an anti-nuclear protest. They got caught and thrown off almost instantly, but then showed up on Detroit TV news reports with these incredible lies about all the things they had supposedly seen/done while wandering around the base.

Each year in November, Sisters of Mercy, Mercy associates, Companions, co-workers, students in our schools and friends join others in advocating for closing the School of the Americas / Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation at Fort Benning, Georgia.
We stand in solidarity with the peoples of Latin America, since many of the officers trained at the SOA/WHINSEC have been implicated in atrocities in their home countries. High-profile cases linked to the SOA include the killings of Archbishop Oscar Romero, the four U.S. churchwomen and the Jesuits, their housekeeper and her daughter.

None of which involved practicing Christianity, I bet.

g(r)omgoru, looks like the Marxist inspired Liberation theology is creeping back into the Catholic church or maybe the lunacy never left certain sections in spite of clamp downs.

Israel has long pointed out that other countries call themselves Islamic republics and are not criticized.
Because in these countries Christians are treated as dhimmies and as such know their allocated place.Criticizing these states is not one of their rights unlike Muslims rights in Christian countries.
[NYPOST] A state judge today put a cork in City Hall's plans to ban Big Apple restaurants and other venues from selling large sugary drinks -- a bubble-bursting defeat for Mayor Bloomberg, who has made public health a cornerstone of his tenure.
Before the stunning ruling by New York Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling, restaurants, movie theaters, sports venues, convenience stores and other places regulated by the city's health department would have been prohibited -- starting tomorrow -- from selling sugary drinks of more than 16 ounces.
Tingling permanently stopped the city from enforcing the ban.
"[The city] is enjoined and permanently restrained from implementing or enforcing the new regulations," Judge Tingling ruled.
Bloomberg vowed to appeal. The mayor grew testy when asked if he had wisely spent so much political capital on the soda ban.
"I got to defend my children and you and everybody else and do what's right to save lives," he angrily said. "Obesity kills. There's just no question about it."

Bloomberg To Appeal Halt Of "Arbitrary And Capricious" Decision It took the NY Mayor's office a few brief minutes to respond to Judge Tingling's order, and announce it would promptly appeal the decision. Because apparently nobody thought of the children.

People might wonder how NYC can appeal a Supreme Court Decision.
Well it turns out that in NYState the Supreme Court is only the second highest court. The Court of Appeals is the highest court.
So, if Bloomberg does win the appeal, the consolation is we will may the headline,
"Supreme Court Overruled"

Maybe it should be renamed The Not-quite Supreme Court.

I see another problem Bloomburg has.
We have a responsibility as human beings to do something, to save each other, Mr. Bloomberg said after the ruling. While other people will wring their hands over the problem of sugary drinks, in New York City, were doing something about it.
He obviously believes that The Gubment has the power to focibly "help" people. He knows whats best for us.

Yet another wagon load of much to do about nothing. How many clinically obese 70 year olds have you seen lately? Clinical obesity eventually fixes itself.

That assumes the poor "morbidly obese" person is working and paying taxes, and he or she is not simply a consumer. Not at all certain we can accurately make that assumption Mugs. Not sure where the facts lie, but they might actually be 180 degrees to the south.

537 Most doctors are very uncomfortable with the fact that people over 65 who are overweight or obese live longer than those who are of normal weight. Not only does this run counter to the deep puritanism of medical culture, but it also flies in the face of logic, because such people are much more likely to have diabetes, heart failure and hypertension.
And yet obese people with hypertension have the best outcomes, in trial after trial. And if you give them thiazide diuretics and so increase their insulin resistance, they do even better. And if they get heart failure, they will greatly outlive their thinner peers. Here is an analysis of the ACCOMPLISH trial dont even try to remember which one that was which clearly shows that thiazide treatment gives better outcomes in hypertensive fat people.
By all thats holy in mechanistic reasoning, this should not be true, and it is all too much for the authors of the accompanying editorial. They list their objections and state: Therefore, we reject the conclusion of Weber and colleagues that diuretic-based regimens are a reasonable choice in obese patients. On the contrary, we surmise that thiazide diuretics are contraindicated in obesity, relatively speaking. So surmise trumps evidence? I dont think so.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
