Holy Christ! Casey Anthony's New Look .....And She Adopts!



Now that we've filled you with horror, let's tell you that this isn't as bad as it sounds. It seems that Casey Anthony has adopted a pet dog. Well, as long as you feed it, love, and it doesn't end up in a trunk of your car, things should be fine, Casey. We can only hope.


But, a jury should convict whoever did this terrible makeover on this acquitted accused child killer. Gez, this is a bad look compared to before. If witness protection mandated a look like this, then you'd have no choice. But, why for the love of everything holy voluntarily go for this look....yuuuck!

Will Kodak File Chapter 11 Papers?



Rumors of a possible filing of Chapter 11 bankruptcy papers by the once proud photography brand, Eastman Kodak, sent the company's stock plunging on Wall Street today. Investors dumped the stock like a hot potato when the rumors of serious money problems leaked as news. At one time, Kodak was the undisputed largest brand of film sold, but photography has dramatically changed in this modern video age.


The photography industry has also faced serious environmental rules disputes as well. Chief Justice John Roberts started his legal career as an attorney for industrial polluters such as Kodak, who often would use public rivers to dump their industrial waste products. Kodak has since developed a partnership with another company to reprocess their industrial waste into new chemicals such as polymers.


But, it seems like the advent of digital technology has signaled the end of some older products like Kodak when they weren't viewed by the public as keeping up with the times. It's probably more a false public perception than anything, because Kodak has worked on a wealth of new products over the years. But, some public perceptions are hard to break.


Kodak is rumored to be working on a type of debtor-in-possession financing worth $1 billion that will allow the company to stay open for business as it reorganizes, and hopefully stays around for the future.

Beautiful Jessi Combs Back With 1001 CAR THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE Video Series



Beautiful car enthusiast girl, Jessi Combs, is back with a new series. This time an automotive video series on the Web comprised of 1001 CAR THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE. The new series appears to be something of a new genre, a brand new TV show that's brought directly to the Internet rather than to cable TV. AUTOBLOG is running the new video series on their website.


Jessi Combs was the popular co-host on EXTREME 4X4, until she required some back surgery and was forced to get some rest. But, she has since returned to TV on the popular show MYTHBUSTERS. She's a true expert on automobiles, and holds a college degree on custom automobile fabrication.




Jessi Combs has to be just about the most perfect girl. She's beautiful, with cute good looks and plenty feminine, yet she's as good of a mechanic as any of the boys. How perfect is that?

One Suspect Arrested In Hollywood Arson Spree, But A TMZ Producer Identifies A Second Person



A probable German national, Harry Burkhart, who kept on shouting, "I hate America", was arrested as a prime suspect for the Hollywood arson spree where 53 properties and automobiles were set on fire. The 24 year old had been described as a radical leftist by some news sources, while others claim that he was upset that his mother is involved in facing deportation from an immigration fight. But, police haven't yet released a motive by Burkhart, who was initially arrested because he resembled a person of interest in a surveillance video. Police later searched his minivan which was registered with a Canadian license plate, finding probable arson equipment which was seized as evidence. Burkhart's mother claims her son is mentally ill.


If Burkhart is convicted of the arson spree, which totals around $3 million in damage, then he could could face close to life in prison because the potential for loss of life was so high due to his serious actions. At least one fireman was injured from a fall


But, one producer for TMZ is somewhat disputing some key facts here. He claims that he personally witnessed a possible accomplice or another person other than Burkhart who actually tampered with a car that later exploded in flames. Numerous police and detectives contacted the TMZ producer, who again noted that the man who was arrested by police is not the same man he saw tampering with the car before it burst into flames. This information could lead to an arrest of more persons, or even clear Burkhart as the wrong key suspect in this arson spree, although since the arrest of Burkhart, no new arsons have been reported.

Scott Elliot Of ELECTION PROJECTION 2012 Predicts The Election Outcomes



Scott Elliot has an uncanny ability to to analyze statistics and polling data, and for the past several years has been earning high praise as having one of the most accurate election polling data analysis sites. His ELECTION PROJECTION 2012 website has to be one of the best election sites to follow this year along with REAL CLEAR POLITICS. Although Scott's own politics lean toward the conservative side, he's able to clearly analyze data in a subjective manner without the bias that plagues some polling organizations. And since Scott relies on his special mathematical and statistics analysis formulas, and does not conduct polling of his own, he is able to come up with a unique statistics analysis website.


Using his own unique statistics analysis methods, Scott is predicting that Rick Santorum edges out a win in today's Iowa caucuses with 24% of the vote. Mitt Romney follows at 23%. Ron Paul will have about 22% according to Scott's methodology. Scott views the momentum that Santorum has built in recent days as a further proof that Santorum will win.


Scott may be exactly right here. Compared to the more moderate Republican voters in New Hampshire, Iowa Republicans seem to have a much higher percentage of Christian conservative and social conservative voters, where past social conservative candidates like Pat Robertson and Pat Buchanan have historically done very well in Iowa, but have done far less well in New Hampshire, and ultimately failed to be nominated. Scott also seems to have a hunch that Mitt Romney still might be the unstoppable nominee, especially if he scores well in Iowa and New Hampshire, and deals a quick knockout blow to the other candidates.


While there is great excitement about today's first election event of 2012, Scott does manage to temper that excitement with his ongoing electoral college analysis for 2012, where predicts that President Obama wins re-election in 2012, but by a smaller margin of victory than 2008. And he only loses two states that he won in 2008, Indiana and North Carolina, otherwise the 2012 election outcome is the same as 2008. For all of the money spent on elections this year, we might still end up with the same outcome that we already have. In Iowa, for example, it has been said that about $200 per caucus voter has been spent by the campaigns and PACs.


Scott comes from an interesting background. His parents were two of the first group of Christian missionaries in Iraq after Saddam Hussein was overthrown in the war. But, both were tragically killed in one of the first attacks of sectarian violence by a roadside bomb. Their deaths were one of the first of the wave of violence that made the country very unsafe for foreign workers in that nation until security measures were greatly improved.


Scott has also earned himself the nickname, "The Blogging Caesar", which seems pretty accurate for someone so accurate in their analysis of politics. PBS, CNN and many other news sources have praised Scott's work before. He remains possibly the greatest armchair political pundit of them all. And you have to really admire Scott's website. It's one of the best analysis sites of them all. You should check it out, or better yet make him a Paypal donation to keep up the good work. I was a paid subscriber to his paid site before in previous years because I'm a fan of his interesting work with statistics. And good work deserves a reward.

Producer Claims FOX Canceled SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Results Show



The executive producer of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, Nigel Lithgoe, claims that FOX canceled the big results show, which has been heavily padded up with little real substantial content. But, that means the show will remain TV with another season despite slipping ratings. The results will be incorporated in the last episode of the show at the end somehow rather than become another big one or two hour event stand alone event. Naturally fans of the show are upset at FOX. However, look for SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE to appear again for the Summer season right after May.

Ron Paul Supporters Using Occupy Iowa Movement To Harass Other Candidates



Supporters of maverick presidential candidate Ron Paul are posting messages of support for their candidate on the Occupy Iowa Facebook page while promising to target the other presidential candidates running for president, including the Democratic Party. While these dirty campaign tricks don't appear to be directly linked to the official Ron Paul campaign, one message of support for Ron Paul includes an appeal to phone others urging them to vote for Ron Paul.


Strangely, while Occupy Iowa uses a flag that looks like some sort of Communist revolutionary movement flag, the candidate that many in Occupy Iowa support, Ron Paul, isn't even that liberal politically. For example, he's very anti-union, meaning that he opposes the higher wages, better job safety and working conditions standards, retirement benefits, health care benefits, and job protections that union jobs bring. On his main campaign website, Ron Paul makes it clear that he's a champion of Right-To-Work laws, which keep union memberships low in many Southern states, keeping wages historically low in many of these states. In addition, Right-To-Work laws are supported by many big corporate lobby organizations. For people who claim to support the "99%" it seems strange that they support a candidate whose views represent those of some corporate organizations who want to actually lower wages and job benefits for most Americans workers.


Ron Paul also proclaims himself to be the "most conservative" of the candidates running for president as well, rather than being a progressive or liberal of any sort. But, he takes extremist views on many issues including foreign policy such as opposing American involvement with the NATO peace actions in Afghanistan. It was however, extremism from Afghanistan and the Taliban giving home to al Qaeda terrorists that led to the 9/11 attacks in the United States. It seems incredibly naive politically to oppose police actions by Western states to prevent further actions of terrorism and to allow the Taliban extremists to brutalize the people of Afghanistan, especially the women, where legally sanctioned public floggings and other human rights abuse flourish. Many young women in Afghanistan consider their lives so bad that set themselves on fire as a protest to shame a sick religious society that has arranged marriages and other terrible oppression of women.


Ron Paul also has a legacy of sending some racist messages as well, including the outrageous claim that, "I think that we can assume that 95 percent of the black men in that city(Washington, D.C.) are semi-criminal or entirely criminal" and also the absurd claim that, "Racial violence will fill our cities (because) mostly black welfare recipients will feel justified in stealing from mostly white haves". And Ron Paul takes similar tough views on immigration reform as well, besides being solidly pro-gun and anti-abortion views. Yet, a bunch of the young people who are part of Occupy Iowa, and so politically naive that they support this candidate who is an opposed to almost anything that involves either common sense or moderation.


Likely, Ron Paul won't be winning the Iowa caucuses tomorrow. His coalition of Occupy Iowa supporters, some disaffected Democrats, and some Republican Party extremists is just too unstable of a coalition of voters to count on, where most more traditional Republicans will likely vote for a more traditional and credible Republican candidate. And it's also disturbing that Occupy Iowa has caused disruptions for other campaigns as well as the Democratic Party, when so many people in Occupy Iowa identify so closely with candidate Ron Paul. This comes very close to illegal dirty tricks and major election violations. Further, there are news reports that hundreds of Occupy supporters are coming into the state just to disrupt the Caucus events tomorrow, which would be a form of illegal intimidation of voters, which violates both state and federal law. The courts never looked kindly on events where the Ku Klux Klan intimidated voters in the early '60's. Occupy intimidation of voters is not likely to be viewed much better by the courts today.


Unfortunately, it looks very likely that Occupy Iowa as well as some other Occupy supporters could make major news from Iowa tomorrow. But, for all the wrong reasons.
