Pelosi on Tuesday sent a brief letter to the leaders of the committee noting that Weiner had "disclosed conduct that he described as inappropriate." Pelosi had urged the panel Monday to launch a probe shortly after Weiner had given a public confession in his online sex scandal.

A Private Life, Tested Friends Say Wife Will Stand by Weiner She is married to one of the most bombastic, sociable and now scandal-tarred politicians in the country. But Huma Abedin is an intensely private person whose quiet commitment to her husband, Rep. Anthony Weiner, has resulted in the two having rarely spent a weekend apart since their wedding last summer, friends say. Huma Abedin with her husband, Rep. AnthonyWeiner, in April A 35-year-old deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Ms. Abedin is a longtime aide to one of the country's most powerful operatives, "and her job, among other jobs, is often to satisfy those people without offense," said ...

The slow-drip stream of purported illicit photos of Rep. Anthony Weiner continues, as a new set allegedly showing the congressman posing shirtless in photos he sent to a woman has emerged — and Weiner himself is set to address the pictures today at 4 p.m. Conservative pundit Andrew Breitbart's website biggovernment.com, which first broke the "Weinergate" scandal last weekend, has been releasing photos all day, with most purportedly showing Weiner shirtless. But reports say at least one more bombshell photo — said to be "extremely graphic" — is still in the pipeline. The new photos pile onto previous accusations this morning that Weiner ...

Electric cars make sense at amusement parks and golf courses -- and on the road, if the road is mostly flat, it's nice and warm out (but not too warm) you've got money to waste, don't have to go very far (especially in winter) and don't mind waiting a couple hours before you can go someplace else. Otherwise, they're marvelous. The hype about electric cars is still years ahead of the actuality. If by actuality you mean an electric car that isn't more compromised than Arnold's political career. I remember covering the GM Impact/EV back in the early '90s, almost 20 years ago. Most of the press swooned; a few Californians bought (well, leased) them. Some even ...
Californians set to outlaw gold prospecting

The precious metal made the West Coast state, but concerns for local salmon may now put an end to the search for hidden riches There's gold in them thar hills. It built the city of San Francisco, and inspired generations of Americans to call California the "Golden State". But if local lawmakers get their way, making a living from the stuff is about to become nigh-on impossible. Just 162 years after history's greatest gold rush, the state's last remaining prospectors are about to have their way of life declared illegal, amid a long-running battle with salmon-loving environmentalists. At issue is the practice of suction-dredging, a modern, mechanised version of ...
Hillary's intern Mrs. Huma-Huma Weener puts on brave face amidst Twitter-photo scandal

She's standing by her man -- but that act seems to be wearing thin. Rep. Anthony Weiner's humiliated wife sheepishly showed her face at a Washington event yesterday, keeping a stiff upper lip amid the swirling scandal surrounding her husband's tawdry Twitter photo. Huma Abedin, 34, briefly hesitated at the State Department ballroom door before working up the courage to go in -- but she left after just five minutes and steered clear of her boss, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. While she put on a brave face inside the Beltway, her husband was busy weaseling out of a long-scheduled speaking engagement at last night's Wisconsin Democratic Convention. KEEPING UP ...
The Most Ignorant Conspiracy Theory of Them All

There have been a disturbing number of conspiracy theories floating around lately. Sure, that’s nothing new — we have the JFK assassination and moon landing conspiracies of the past — but there just seem to be a lot more of them lately. It started with the truthers, who believe that George W. Bush either knew about the 9/11 attacks beforehand and did nothing or even blew up the World Trade Center himself. And some people also believed that Bush blew up the levies during Hurricane Katrina. And then there is the conspiracy theory, which still persists among some extremely disturbed individuals, that Sarah Palin isn’t really the mother of Trig. And now we have President ...
So Now All These People Will Apologize to Sarah Palin About Paul Revere, Right?

As with most people, I simply took at face value the popular version that Paul Revere warned that the British were coming, the British were coming. Not having any real reason to look into it any deeper, Sarah Palin's statement that Revere warned the British that the colonial militias were waiting seemed odd. But it appears that the popular version is not complete. In fact, as pointed out at Conservatives4Palin, Revere did in fact tell the British that the colonial militias, who had been alerted, were waiting for them. Here is the original historical text written by Revere (spelling in original, bold added): I observed a Wood at a Small distance, & made for that. When I got ...

A cyclist was jailed for 18 months today after he killed a motorist who opened his car door in front of him. Tony Magdi, 52, died three weeks after being assaulted outside his greengrocer's shop in Hove, East Sussex, on November 7 last year. Paul Lambeth, 36, was originally charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm, but this was changed to manslaughter following Mr Magdi's death at Hurstwood Park Neurological Centre in Haywards Heath on November 28. Sentencing him at Hove Crown Court, Judge Michael Lawson QC said he had given Lambeth credit for pleading guilty at the first available opportunity. But he added that the fact that he did not give himself up straight away - and ...

An Imposter's Complaint By R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. on 6.2.11 @ 6:09AM WASHINGTON -- Here we are now in the afterglow of another Memorial Day. The flags and the bunting are being put away. The memories endure for another year of our honored dead, of the brave wounded, of the veterans -- some grizzled, some still youthful -- all deserving their country's gratitude. Then there are the imposters, who have created often from zilch military honors, whole careers, records of heroism and splendid triumphs. What wretches! One is Joseph Brian Cryer, 45, who claimed to be a U.S. Navy SEAL and boasted online of his "77 confirmed kills" during a glorious operation in Libya in 1986. A ...
Officials plan to exterminate (San Diego) county's wild (Russian) pigs

A study found that the rooting behavior of feral pigs in California reduces the number and size of oak tree seedlings. When it comes to controlling the spread of feral pigs in San Diego County, the public hunting effort isn’t doing the job. That has led federal agencies to launch an ambitious program that will use cage traps, corral traps, federal hunters with guns and dogs and even shooting from helicopters to exterminate the area’s population of wild swine. Officials see the pigs as a threat to fragile ecosystems and public health and safety. Environmentalists worry about the damage wild pigs will do to the county’s sensitive habitat, much of it rebounding from Southern ...

Who's the glamorous aide always by Hillary Clinton's side?… Rep. Anthony Weiner, a likely 2009 mayoral candidate, is pouring his heart into Hillary Clinton's White House bid - literally. Weiner, whose district includes parts of Queens and Brooklyn, finally 'fessed that he is romancing Clinton's glamorous "body woman," Huma Abedin. Asked by The Associated Press about all the time he's spending on the road campaigning for Clinton, the 43-year-old bachelor said, "It's largely because I'm dating Huma." The whispers have been around for months, but until yesterday Weiner ducked questions about Abedin, saying his personal life was off ...

Students suspended for wearing white T-shirts Brian Schwarz and Thomas Lifson Is wearing a plain white T-shirt a sign of membership in a white supremacist group? Apparently so, at least according to a government school principal in Soquel, California (a suburb of PC Central Santa Cruz). A local television station covered the story. Is this political correctness run amok? Recall that students in Morgan Hill, California, roughly 20 miles from Soquel, were sent home for wearing American flag T-shirts, allegedly offending their Mexican-American (and Mexican-Mexican) classmates on May 8 last year.

Court ruling could have sweeping impactFireworks shows are among thousands of events in San Diego each year that need environmental review under a Superior Court ruling on Friday. What started as a battle over fireworks shows led to a sweeping legal victory Friday for environmentalists that could stymie a wide range of events needing city permits, from the Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon to birthday parties held at parks. “According to the strictest interpretation of this, jumpy-jumps and everything else would be subject to environmental review if this ruling stands,” said lawyer Robert Howard, who represented the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation in the case. ...

The married New York congressman blamed an internet hacker yesterday for publishing a photo of a man's bulging grey boxer briefs. The tweet was directed to a single Twitter user - a coed in Seattle, Washington - but was on view to all 45,000 of his followers. The post was quickly removed by Weiner, known for his avid use of Twitter. He was posting about a hockey match just minutes prior. However, several followers had time to retweet the photo and ...

Liberal Media Chicken Littles: 'The Republican Sky Is Falling!' By Sonny Palermo In 2010, Speaker Nancy Pelosi stared into the camera with make-up-by-Joker-Products face and proclaimed "Democrats will hold the House" in the upcoming midterms. On November 2nd, the Tea Party helped to deliver us from evil. The elections of November 2010 went into the history books as a massacre of epic proportions. It was Little Big Horn, with Democrats playing the part of Custer and his men. It was Tyson brutally KO'ing Marvis Frasier in a scant thirty seconds. It was an Iron Chef battle with Bobby Flay squaring off against the guy microwaving burgers at your local ...

Despite warnings to the contrary, and waning public support, the all purpose boogieman climate change is once again getting credit for the recent spate of natural disasters in the US. Whether its flooding on the Mississippi, rain soaked fields too wet to plant, or rampaging tornadoes laying waste to whole towns the villain behind our misfortune is anthropogenic global warming. Reports from the scenes of devastation are sure to include at least one reference to climate change, which is of course caused by people. In essence, the yammering news media—who always needs a culprit to blame when disaster befalls a group of innocents—has placed the blame squarely back on humanity. ...

Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes, State Sen. Eric Adams and State Assemblyman Hakim Jeffries are proposing state legislation requiring the change to high school health curriculum. The officials envision students being taught in public school about so-called "safe haven laws," which allow a parent to leave a newborn anonymously ...

These 25 rules are everywhere in media, from political debates, to television shows, to comments on a blog. 1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Regardless of what you know, don’t discuss it - especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it’s not reported, it didn’t happen, and you never have to deal with the issues. 2.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Naked Liberals A piece on Forbes.com recently caught my attention. Editor Michael Noer had the opportunity to peruse the book, La Seduction: How the French Play the Game of Life.

Dominique Strass-Kahn, the director of the International Monetary Fund and a former French finance minister. Rumors that he is a womanizer have livened up Paris dinner parties for years, with some people expressing quiet admiration that such a high-profile political figure can find time for an ...

Jared Loughner is mentally incompetent (Liberal/Progressive) to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday
TUCSON, Ariz. – The man accused of wounding U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and killing six is mentally incompetent to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday after U.S. Marshals dragged the man out of the courtroom because of an angry outburst.
As survivors of the deadly January attack looked on, Jared Lee Loughner lowered his head, raised it and said what sounded like "Thank you for the freak show. She died in front of me." His words were loud but mumbled, and it wasn't clear who he was talking about. He wore a khaki prison suit and sported bushy, reddish sideburns.

They're just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but ...

Lottery winner Leroy Fick is ruffling feathers in his home state of Michigan over his continued use of food stamps. The 59-year-old won $2 million in the state's Make Me Rich lotto last June. But the windfall still hasn't stopped him from using the Bridgeport Card, Michigan's version of food stamps.

"Really annoying -- he has the money, and my kids are eating Ramen noodles." "You're going to sit there and make me feel bad -- you aren't going to do it," Fick fired back. "It ain't going to ...
