Time to switch her major......
A University of Michigan student who had sex with a professor complained to police that he slapped her while in the throes of passion. But they arrested her when she admitted she was paid for her services and was, in fact, working as a prostitute to pay her tuition. Asked what she is studying, she said, “I’m a law student.”

ROBBERY IS HARD, MAN . . . A young man attempting to rob a gas station in Fairfield, Ohio, realized he was so intoxicated he couldn’t pull it off. When the clerk refused to give him the money, he said, “Nevermind, I’m drunk,” and fled.

NYAH, NYAH, YOU CAN’T GET IN . . . BAM! UH-OH . . . Police went to a home in Washington, Ill., after a call that a group of teens were having a wild, drunken party while their parents were away. After the cops announced their presence, several teens “heckled and taunted” them, saying they couldn’t do anything because the door was locked. The cops broke down the door and busted everyone.

The drunks were right. One Illinois Appellate Court opinion said the police did not have exigent circumstances to justify a non-consensual entry for merely underage drinking, a misdemeanor. If the teens hire lawyers at about $5,000 a pop, they can get a motion to suppress the arrest sustained and walk free (so to speak).



And I thought this thread was about another Illinois Democratic Governor going to prison.

A donor's gift soon followed Clinton's help
By Charlie Savage Published: January 4, 2009


WASHINGTON: A developer in New York state donated $100,000 to former President Bill Clinton's foundation in November 2004, around the same time that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure millions of dollars in federal assistance for the businessman's mall project.

Hillary Clinton helped enact legislation allowing the developer, Robert Congel, to use tax-exempt bonds to help finance the construction of the Destiny USA entertainment and shopping complex, an expansion of the Carousel Center in Syracuse.

Authorities issue arrest warrants for 11 ACORN workers accused of falsifying voter registration cards during last year's presidential election

Eleven people hired to register potential voters in Miami-Dade County before last year's presidential election were being sought Wednesday for falsifying hundreds of voter registration cards.

The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office issued arrest warrants for each of the 11 suspects, all of whom worked for the local chapter of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, (ACORN).

By early Wednesday morning, six were in custody, authorities said.

ACORN came under fire during last year's presidential campaign when Republicans and other conservative groups accused the national organization of committing fraud in its aggressive voter registration efforts in various cities and counties nationwide, including Florida.

But ACORN officials said they had alerted authorities about the alleged illegal activity among some canvassers in Miami-Dade after finding ``numerous discrepancies'' on voter cards collected from the Homestead area.

The arrests are ``further evidence we've been policing our own folks and report people attempting to commit voter registration fraud,'' said ACORN spokesman Brian Kettenring. ``This was really some individuals who were trying to defraud their employer.''

Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernįndez Rundle praised ACORN.

``We've been very aggressive about a lot of these cases,'' she said. ``But we would not have known about these workers unless ACORN brought it to us.

``It's really minor, ineffectual attempts to justify getting paid an hourly basis. It could not have impacted the voting process whatsoever. Nonetheless, we cannot turn a blind eye to this,'' Rundle added.

ACORN quality control workers found the discrepancies in the cards turned in by 10 canvassers and contacted authorities in June 2008, authorities said. The group turned in 1,400 cards, of which 888 were found to be fraudulent.

An analyst with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement later reviewed a random group of cards, searching databases to find a record of the voter.

The majority of those sampled ``contained registrant information that was not able to be matched to a living person,'' the warrant said.

The workers, who were paid between $8 and $10 an hour, registered names of nonexistent people -- in one case, Paul Newman and James Taylor appeared on cards -- or simply filled out several cards for the same real voter, authorities said.

Those arrested are charged with several counts of false swearing in connection with voting or elections and submission of false voter registration information, both third-degree felonies.

They work for us and it's high time we took out Country back from the bloodsuckers. Special interest on both sides have too much influence. The media can no longer be trusted so we are obligated to look into things for ourselves.

Stand up and fight the corruption in your own party. There are good democrats, good republicans, good independants, good libertarians....they have to point out the corrupt among themselves and only then will we turn the tide. We are a good and decent people. We have to insist that our leaders are as well.

Here you go folks, Chicago politics....that's where Obama's from, you know

Key Blagojevich adviser Christopher Kelly dead

September 12, 2009
BY MARK J. KONKOL, NATASHA KORECKI AND ART GOLAB Staff Reporters

The man federal prosecutors pressured to cooperate in the corruption probe of ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich died of an apparent aspirin overdose on Saturday, law enforcement sources said.

Christopher Kelly, 51, of Burr Ridge, was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital at 10:46 a.m. An autopsy is scheduled for today, a Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office spokeswoman said.


Christopher Kelly, a key figure in the federal corruption investigation of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, is dead, sources said.

Kelly pleaded guilty to a kickback scheme

Bank forecloses on Kelly home

Gambling adviser a high-roller

Kelly was Blagojevich’s “go-to guy” who once was the mastermind of the ex-governor’s lucrative campaign fund.

Kelly’s death comes just four days after he pleaded guilty to a scheme involving $8.5 million in fraud at O’Hare Airport. It was the second conviction this year -- he still faced trial along with the ex-governor, in June. Kelly had been indicted three times since 2007 but refused to become a cooperating witness. When he pleaded guilty to the O’Hare scheme Tuesday, Kelly spoke of feeling intense pressure by prosecutors to abandon his loyalty to Blagojevich and cooperate with the feds.

Chicago police are investigating Kelly’s death. A source familiar with the investigation told the Chicago Sun-Times that Kelly, who is married, called a woman identified as his “girlfriend” and told her that he took some pills and was going to kill himself.

The woman picked up Kelly near 170th and Cicero in Country Club Hills, where Kelly reportedly vomited. Police were taking samples of the vomit and searching for evidence, the source said.

The girlfriend then drove Kelly to Oak Forest Hospital, dropped him off and called police to report she did so, the source said.

Oak Forest Hospital does not have a trauma unit and was unable to treat Kelly, who then was rushed to Stroger Hospital in an ambulance.

Blagojevich released a statement through his publicist.

“I am deeply saddened to hear that Chris has died. My heart goes out to his wife Carmen, his three daughters Grace, Jacqueline and Claire and his entire family. They are in our prayers,” Blagojevich said.

Nice.....

ACORN Founder Wade Rathke Wanted Terrorist Attack on Republican Convention to Succeed
By Matthew Vadum on 9.13.09 @ 2:22AM

ACORN founder Wade Rathke didn't have a problem with domestic terrorists trying to kill delegates at the Republican Party's national convention in 2008, former radical community organizer Brandon Darby suggests at Andrew Breitbart's new website Big Government.

Darby, who got to see how the ACORN crime syndicate operates up close in New Orleans, writes that after he acknowledged that he helped the FBI foil a plot to attack the RNC convention in Minnesota Rathke denounced him on his blog. Darby writes

What does any of this have to do with ACORN? I wondered the same thing on January 31st of 2009 when I was reading an ACORN blog that is run by Wade Rathke (the man who claims credit for founding ACORN). He devoted an entire page to my work with the FBI. How did he describe the FBI's effort and success in preventing innocent Americans, local police and federal agents from being burned, maimed and/or possibly killed by firebombs? He wrote that it's "one thing to disagree, but it's a whole different thing to rat on folks." That is what ACORN's founder had to say about my role in stopping a bomb plot.

Indeed Rathke did write that. He described Darby as "an FBI-informer who had fingered some folks for mayhem designed for the Republican National Convention in 2008 in the Twin Cities." Added Rathke, "It seemed so, how should I say it, sixties?"

There it is in black and white. ACORN founder Wade Rathke resented Darby working with the authorities to disrupt a left-wing terrorist plot.

Here's another way to look at it: if you oppose ACORN's agenda, you deserve to be murdered.

ACORN -brooklin this time
'Pimp & hooker' catch B'klyn staff

By JEREMY OLSHAN

Last Updated: 12:41 PM, September 14, 2009

Posted: 3:30 AM, September 14, 2009
The scandal surrounding the left-wing activist organization ACORN has spread to New York, with employees at its Brooklyn office caught on video helping supposed ladies of the night get loans for their dream houses of ill repute.


Rather than reminding the women that prostitution is dangerous and illegal and advising them to change their careers, counselors at the social-services group shockingly offer suggestions on how they can launder their earnings.


"Honesty is not going to get you the house," a loan counselor at the offices told two activists posing as a mortgage-seeking pimp and prostitute.


"You can't say what you do for a living."


ACORN workers in two other cities, Baltimore and Washington, DC, had already fallen hooker, line and sinker for the hidden-camera sting operation by two conservative activists.


Four ACORN employees have been fired as a result of the earlier videos, and last Friday the Census Bureau severed its ties with the group, whose members had been hired to do canvassing during the 2010 census.


Mayor Bloomberg spoke out on the controversy today.


"Prostitution is illegal in this state and I don't know why they would -- why an organization like ACORN, who's trying to encourage voter turnout and voter registration, why they're getting involved in any of that stuff," Bloomberg said. "But clearly it's not appropriate and they shouldn't have been doing it. Whether they broke a law or not I don't know. You'll have to talk to the legal (authorities)."


The Brooklyn DA's office announced today it would be investigating the group.


In an unrelated outrage, ACORN was accused of widespread voter fraud during the 2008 presidential election by helping unqualified voters to register.


As in prior videos released by the filmmaking team of James O'Keefe, 25, and Hannah Giles, 20, employees of the group -- which specializes in housing and voter activism -- were eager to dispense advice on gaming the system and skirting the law.


"You know, what goes on in the house we don't care," one counselor said. "We just help you with the mortgage."


O'Keefe and Giles were garishly dressed as a stereotypical pimp and prostitute. O'Keefe was decked out in excessively snazzy flesh-peddler couture, and Giles, going by the name "Eden," wore almost nothing.


The ACORN workers were not the slightest bit judgmental or put off by the request for help in getting financing for a brothel.


Counselor Volda Albert freely offered financial advice to the young couple, and held back on giving out any life advice.


"I can't tell you don't do it, because you won't listen to me," Albert said.


For tax and banking purposes, and to establish a legitimate income and credit history, Giles was told she needed to start saying she was a "freelancer."


"Don't say that you're a prostitute thing or whatever," she said.


Albert also suggested that Giles open two accounts at separate banks, depositing no more than $500 each a week to ensure few eyebrows are raised.


As for the rest of the money she earned from turning tricks, Albert told her to hide it away.


"When you buy the house with a back yard. You get a tin . . . and bury it down in there, and you put the money right in, and you put grass over it, and you don't tell a single soul but yourself where it is," she said.


Albert even had advice on protecting O'Keefe from getting tied by authorities to Giles' prostitution.


Her illegally obtained revenue could be given to O'Keefe through an intermediary, and then he could use it for a down payment on the house by applying for a "no doc" loan.


In the earlier videos, counselors offered similar suggestions to a "prostitute," telling her to list her occupation as "performance artist," and even offering advice on how to claim as dependants underage girls recruited for the business.


Milagros Rivera, the Brooklyn office administrator advised Giles, "don't get caught -- it's against the law what you are doing, and there's a chance you'll get caught."


Before bidding them good luck, Albert offered two final suggestions.


"Save for a rainy day," she said. "And live well."


O'Keefe, who majored in philosophy at Rutgers University, said he and Giles funded the project themselves. This kind of undercover, guerrilla tactic is the "future of investigative journalism and political activism," he said.


Inspired by "Rules for Radicals," Saul Alinsky's bible for rabble-rousing, more often associated with the left, O'Keefe said he has been targeting and exposing the "absurdities of the enemy by employing their own rules and language."


"If you can make impossible demands on your enemy, you can destroy them," he said.


So he began using a hidden camera "in a location I'd rather not disclose" and started visiting ACORN offices around the Northeast.


As with a series of videos O'Keefe made in 2008, in which Planned Parenthood employees agreed to earmark his donations for the abortions of African-American babies, he said he expected ACORN would yield maybe "a few gotcha moments."


"But we never imagined they would all comply -- it's just disgusting they didn't just throw us out of the office," he said.


In a statement released Saturday, ACORN said that it could not defend the actions of its employees but that what O'Keefe and Giles did was criminal.


"And, in fact, a crime it was -- our lawyers believe a felony -- and we will be taking legal action against Fox and their co-conspirators," the statement said.


Fox News aired the Baltimore and Washington tapes.


O'Keefe said, "ACORN wants it both ways."


"You can't fire the employees and then say I have defamed them," he said.

Dem Hero David Kernell
At the very least, as a convicted felon, he will lose the right to vote. That seems fitting and proper considering his political extremism but it also must include some prison time as a deterrent to other like-minded, smug, unrepentants. Five to Ten in the same federal facility that houses John Ford would be most appropiate. While mopping floors and scrubbing toliets, the two of them can discuss their mutual admiration for the Obama regime.

Ex-Clinton fundraiser gets 12 years in prison...

NEW YORK – A wealthy Manhattan investment banker who was once a top fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton and other big-name Democrats has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for bank fraud.

Hassan Nemazee (hah-SAHN' nah-MAH'-zee) was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Manhattan.

He had reached a plea deal in March. He has admitted to three counts of bank fraud and one count of wire fraud.

Prosecutors say he forged signatures and concocted bogus account statements to conceal a scam in which he was using proceeds from new loans to pay off older ones.

Nemazee had been the national finance chairman of Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. He also raised money for President Barack Obama and other prominent Democrats.
