O'Reilly: We Can't Kill All The Muslims | News One
Bill O’Reilly believes that the US effort to win the popular support of Muslims around the world is based on the notion that the US cannot kill every single Muslim. There are roughly 1.3-1.5 billion followers of Islam worldwide.
O’Reilly brought this up during a discussion Tuesday evening about alleged Fort Hood gunman Nidal Hasan. The Fox News host was discussing the alleged attack with novelist and retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters who was “outraged” that Obama did not refer to the attack as terrorism during his speech at Tuesday’s memorial service.

Barry Bonds facing 30 years in jail and a rough financial future - BloggingStocks
Barry Bonds facing 30 years in jail and a rough financial future - BloggingStocks
Shortly after the market closed today, I got one of my familiar MarketWatch.com bulletins in my in-box. But it wasn't concerning after-hours earnings or the Dow's (latest) triple-digit drop. Rather, it simply stated: "Home-run king Barry Bonds indicted on perjury, obstruction of justice charges."
Yowsa. While everyone always just assumed Bonds used the juice at some point in his career, I think this comes as a surprise to many sports fans. A federal grand jury has accused Bonds of lying under oath when he said he was unaware that substances handed out by personal trainer Greg Anderson were steroids. Bonds has also maintained that he did not use steroids in 2001, as he chased the single-season home-run record, then held by Mark McGwire.
According to MarketWatch, John Burris, "one of" Bonds' lawyers, told San Francisco radio station KCBS the Bonds would plead "not guilty." Burris also asserted that Bonds "will be found not guilty." Burris says the indictment was a shock, as the government doesn't have proper evidence to bring such a claim.
Guess the public's decision to brand that 756th baseball is looking pretty smart right now. Whether or not Bonds is indeed found guilty, this indictment further tarnishes his credibility, which was shaky at best.
As Allan Kreda pointed out earlier this year, Bonds faces a challenging financial future. His hubris and his cold attitude toward the media and toward humanity in general hasn't earned him many endorsement gigs. And while his career earnings are in the $200 million neighborhood, as Allan predicted way back then: "But with potential legal bills mounting, Bonds is probably saving every penny he can. He still may be indicted by federal prosecutors on charges of perjury..."
And, in fact, here we are. Smell that, folks? It's a little thing I call schadenfreude, and there's no way I'm the only one sensing it. I hate to be smug about this whole business, but cheaters never win, and if cheating's been happening, and having a direct impact on the national pastime's record books, I hope we get down to the bottom of it.

Rapper Lil' Boosie Sentenced To Four Years In Prison | Billboard.com
Rapper Lil' Boosie Sentenced To Four Years In Prison | Billboard.com
Rapper Lil' Boosie was sentenced to four years in prison on Monday for violating his probation (Nov. 10), according to WAFB News.
The Baton Rouge rapper was placed under house arrest with an ankle monitor after being convicted of drug and gun charges in September. But the ankle monitor indicates that on more than one occasion the 26-year-old MC, born Torrence Hatch, violated the terms of his release.
This resulted in District Court Judge Chip Moore revoking Lil Boosie's probation, who was originally expected to sentence Lil Boosie to ten years in prison with all but the first two years suspended, of which he was likely to serve a year. But because of his violation, he was sentenced to ten years with all but the first four years suspended. He is expected to serve a maximum of two years now.
Lil Boosie took a plea deal to a third-offense marijuana-possession charge in September in connection with an October 2008 arrest when police found a bag of marijuana, a blunt and a gun in a vehicle he was driving. The drug charge along would have landed him in prison for 20 years, with a mandatory minimum of fives years for the gun charge. After the plea, Moore ordered Lil Boosie to be electronically monitored and to clear all concert dates with the court while awaiting sentencing.
Lil Boosie has been ordered to report to prison immediately after Monday's hearing, and he will be on probation for five years following his release. The firearm charge will be dropped if he completes his probation.
