McLucas said hospital bosses told her as far as patriotism was concerned, the flag flying outside the hospital building would have to suffice.

"I find it very frightening because if I can't display my flag," McLucas asked, "whatother freedoms will I lose before all is said and done?"


Exactly! It's time to frickin' wake up and stop the slow erosion of freedom in America. No matter how many people paint you as a radical. Let the sheep continue to ignore the slippery slope.

Land of the free and home of the brave. Not land of the shackled and home of the cuddled.

Debbie McLucas is one of four hospital supervisors at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield. Last week, she hung a three-by-five foot American flag in the office she shares with the other supervisors.



I'd like to see a photo of the shared office. Perhaps she's just an inconsiderate b!tch.

Worried about a little flag when those mean radio people are torturing that nice Mancow citizen.

The only thing more bigoted than an anti- Semite is an anti-anti-Semite.

Gentlemen, as a foreigner, may I ask who of you hung up a flag at their HOME?

I am sure Mrs. McLucas right and freedom to hang as many flags at her HOME is not in question, or is it?

Euro...could we then extend that "its the office so nothing personal should be presented" to the clowns with ten dozen photos of family?

How about a person who really like flowers. Could we then go so far as to say NOTHING other than business related Items will be shown?

The real problem here is one of where to draw the line "equality wise". And I think Ms. McLucas may be in her right to demand all personal items of her co workers be removed POST HASTE.

If that were the case I would have no problem. But if a coworker were allowed to display one personal Item then I think items in good taste should be allowed.

Teen girls sue Indiana city over strip search

MADISON, Ind. -- The high school girlfriends weren't known as troublemakers. One was a cheerleader, another a soccer player and the third grew up working on her family's farm.

But the Madison Consolidated High School seniors found themselves shivering on a winter night three years ago in a deserted church parking lot, surrounded by police, being questioned about drugs -- and then strip searched.

"We were all so scared," one of them, Kristy Lessley, said in the first interview the women have granted since the incident Jan. 19, 2007. "We just froze."

The fear and embarrassment, however, soon turned to anger for Lessley and her friends, Kara Rhodehamel and Kayla Messer, who sued the city of Madison, former Mayor Albert Huntington, former City Attorney Robert Barlow, former Police Chief Robert Wolf, City Councilman James Lee and four police officers, claiming they were illegally strip-searched and confined.

Madison police have publicly denied any wrongdoing, but the individual defendants declined to comment except for Wolf, who has an unlisted phone number and could not be reached.

The Madison incident occurred when the three women -- then 18 and 19 -- were headed home in Rhodehamel's Toyota Camry. Police Sgt. Donald James Royce and Officers Jonathan Simpson and Christopher Strouse surrounded the car and began questioning them, according to police reports.

Two more officers -- Mika Season Jackson and William Watterson -- arrived moments later. The suit contends that police provided conflicting accounts afterward about whether the teens were read their rights or consented to searches of the car and their purses.

Although the officers reported finding bits of marijuana in the car, the suit claims none was ever placed into evidence. Their reports indicated they asked questions after smelling an odor of pot in the car.

Royce placed all three women in his cruiser and drove them to a nearby fire station, where Jackson -- the only woman officer involved in the case -- brought each one separately into a restroom. She ordered each to strip to panties and bra, pull out their bra cups and pull their underpants below their knees and squat to allow her to look at the vaginal area. Jackson recounted that procedure in her deposition.

Police reported recovering a small bag of marijuana from Lessley, for which she was arrested and charged with misdemeanor possession under 30 grams.

Full, and LONG, story here:

BOO FREAKING HOO.

self-avowed compulsive liar, Van der Sloot has several times given and retracted admissions of involvement in Holloway's disappearance.

He is being held in a segregated block of the maximum-security Castro Castro prison in eastern Lima. He asked to be separated from the main prison population out of fear for his life.

For now he has his own 6.6-by-11.5-foot (2-by-3.5-meter) cell, which is adjacent to that of a reputed Colombian hit man, with whom he shares a television set.

Van der Sloot told the Telegraaf that rats crawl into his room through his toilet hole at night.

His mother Anita van der Sloot said in an interview published by the same newspaper over the weekend that Van der Sloot suffers from mental problems. She said she doesn't believe he had killed Holloway, but if he killed Flores "he'll have to pay the price" and she didn't plan to visit him in jail.

Promise him he will be held segregated for confessions on Flores and Holloway (with body location) then when you get the conviction...CHUCK HIM IN WITH THE SEX OFFENDERS.
