A Mother, a Sick Son and His Father, the Priest Posted: 16 Oct 2009 12:25 PM PDT A rare look at how the Roman Catholic Church goes to great lengths to keep clergy members' clandestine relationships hidden and the priests in active ministry. Clergy members of many faiths have crossed the line with women and had children out of wedlock. But the problem is particularly fraught for the Catholic Church, as Catholics in many countries are increasingly questioning the celibacy requirement for priests. |
Posted: 16 Oct 2009 12:21 PM PDT From the old Procter & Gamble Satanism libel to tales of more recent vintage about President Obama's faith and citizenship, Internet-fueled rumors seem to run rampant. And, frighteningly, Christians seem at the very least to be as susceptible as the population at large to spread false stories. So, why are Christians so willing to believe unsubstantiated rumors? And more troubling, why are Christians, who should hold the highest standards of truth-telling, so eager to spread rumors -- and even downright libels? |

Small Town Mayor Guilty Of Big Time Corruption Posted: 16 Oct 2009 12:03 PM PDT The outlaw mayor of an upscale Louisiana town, previously indicted for perjury and caught driving drunk on a causeway, has pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges for using public funds as his personal piggy bank and taking hefty bribes from city contractors. Mandeville Mayor Eddie Price has been under state and federal investigation for more than a year and finally resigned a few days ago amid mounting evidence of his longtime criminal behavior. For nearly three decades the disgraced lawmaker has served publicly in the wealthy bedroom community of about 11,000 that sits across a lake from New Orleans. Prosecutors say Price accepted tens of thousands of dollars worth of lavish vacations from various firms with lucrative city contracts and regularly dipped into the town's coffers to pay for an array of personal expenses, including large gambling debts, fine wine, clothes and groceries for his family. He also illegally used campaign funds to pay for similar personal items. A state audit blasted the mayor last year for racking up $9,000 of personal expenses on a city credit card and improperly accepting valuable gifts—including trips on a private jet to California and Canada—from companies that do business with the city. A Mexican cruise, worth $3,000, was among the personal items the mayor charged taxpayers, auditors found. As part of a plea deal with prosecutors this week, the crooked mayor pleaded guilty to tax evasion and depriving citizens of honest services. He will be sentenced early next year and faces more than two decades in prison although he probably will get a shorter sentence. Price's story certainly illustrates that you need not be a high-profile legislator to commit major fraud. [...] |
The 3-minute video that may prove Iran’s nuclear intentions Posted: 16 Oct 2009 11:54 AM PDT VIENNA - The last place you would expect to hear the apocalyptic soundtrack of the movie "Chariots of Fire" would be Iran. This 1981 film recounts the story of a Jewish British athlete and his teammate, a devout Christian, who refuses to compete on Sunday, his day of rest. But this soundtrack accompanies a highly secret video, produced by Iranian nuclear scientists, but never screened before the general public - a three-minute film depicting a computerized simulation of the detonation of a warhead, most likely a nuclear one. Whether it was intentional or merely coincidental, the nameless Iranian editor decided to use the soundtrack of the British blockbuster to accompany the video. [...] |

Obama Administration Denies Judicial Watch FOIA Request for White House Visitor Logs Posted: 16 Oct 2009 10:37 AM PDT Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that the U.S. Secret Service (under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security) has denied Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for access to Obama White House visitor logs from January 20, 2009 to present. In refusing to abide by FOIA law, the Secret Service advanced the erroneous claim that the records belong to the Obama White House, not the agency, and are therefore may be kept secret under the Presidential Records Act. A federal district court has ruled twice that all visitor records belong to the Secret Service and therefore should be available under the Freedom of Information Act. According to an October 8 letter from the Department of Homeland Security related to Judicial Watch's request: "It is the government's position that the categories of records that you requested are not agency records subject to the FOIA. Rather, these records are governed by the Presidential Records Act…and remain under the exclusive legal custody and control of the White House Office and the Office of the Vice President." The letter goes on to state that the White House might release these records at its discretion. Judicial Watch successfully forced the release of White House visitor logs related to visits by former lobbyist and convicted felon Jack Abramoff's to the Bush White House. As Judicial Watch has argued previously in court filings, the U.S. Secret Service is an agency within the meaning of FOIA and its records are therefore subject to FOIA. The law provides no exceptions for certain types of Secret Service records and does not excuse the Secret Service from complying with FOIA. Moreover, the Presidential Records Act specifically states that presidential records do "not include any documentary materials that are (i) official records of an agency…" The Obama administration announced in September that it would post some White House visitor log information on the White House website beginning on December 31, 2009. However, records from January 20, 2009 through September 15, 2009 will be kept secret, except in narrow specific circumstances. The Obama White House has yet to explain why visitor logs from its first eight months will be afforded special protection. "Just because the Obama White House says FOIA law doesn't cover White House visitor logs doesn't make it so. The Obama administration is not above the law," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "These visitor logs are subject to release under FOIA and the courts have affirmed this. Judicial Watch has no intention of abandoning its pursuit of these records. We will go to court, if [...] |

Colorado Wants Special Tuition Class For Illegal Aliens Posted: 16 Oct 2009 09:17 AM PDT Months after the Colorado Legislature rejected a measure to grant illegal immigrants discounted tuition at public colleges and universities, Democrats continue working on a soon-to-be-introduced bill to make it happen. In April Colorado lawmakers killed—for the fourth time—a proposal that would have allowed illegal aliens to pay lower in-state tuition at the state's 30 public colleges and universities. It was a contentious plan that was debated on the Senate floor for more than three hours before lawmakers, including several Democrats, finally defeated it. This week a group of Colorado Democrats reveal they've been ardently working behind the scenes to tweak the defeated law so that it passes. Their plan centers on the creation of a special tuition category for illegal immigrants that attempts to disguise the taxpayer-financed perk granted to the state's legal residents. Since illegal immigrants don't qualify for the subsidy given to the children of parents who pay state taxes, tens of millions of dollars will be allocated for the new illegal alien tuition class. That way, the law's sponsors say, illegal immigrants don't have to pay the much higher out-of-state fees. Either way it's presented, the money comes from U.S. taxpayers. One of the law's sponsors, Senator Paula Sandoval, says the third tuition rate is a compromise that will avoid the pitfalls of four previous failed attempts at passing legislation. The House sponsor, Denver Representative Joe Miklosi, says the measure will "empower" the state's undocumented high school graduates. Ten states—including California, Texas, Utah, Kansas, Washington and New York—have laws granting illegal immigrants discounted college tuition and a few—Georgia, Oklahoma and Arizona—have recently created policies banning the perk. The practice was successfully challenged by a group of out-of-state students in California who argued that the state's college system violated the law by charging them higher tuition and fees than undocumented immigrants. A California appellate court ruled in favor of the American students and the case is pending before the sate Supreme [...] |

White House Hatchet Jobs – American Spectator – October 16 Posted: 16 Oct 2009 06:10 AM PDT The Obama White House hesitated not at all in labeling the AHIP study “an insurance industry hatchet job.” The study in question was one conducted by a policy group that is funded by the industry. The study said that premiums on the average family would go up $4,000 if the Baucus bill — which cleared the [...] |
