Obama, Romney cram foreign policy for last debate

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ Oct 22, 2012

— One day out from their last debate, Republican Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are cramming foreign policy and taking a rare break from swing-state campaigning.

Monday’s face-off in Boca Raton, Fla., represents one of the last major opportunities for Obama and Romney to capture the attention of millions of voters – especially that small but sought-after group of voters who haven’t yet made up their minds.

Obama was holed up in Camp David in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains, where he arrived Friday to prep for the debate, a 90-minute encounter focused on international affairs. With him at the presidential retreat were a band of top advisers including National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, campaign strategist David Axelrod and White House senior adviser David Plouffe.

Queried at LAX re Legal Body Armor, Arrested Passenger Is Denied Bail Based on Computer Contents

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ Oct 10, 2012

The hatchet in a checked bag for an airline passenger traveling through Los Angeles from Japan last week, en route to Boston, was legal, according to authorities. Ditto the gas mask, biohazard suit, handcuffs, leg irons and a number of other items obviously likely to catch a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer’s attention that also reportedly were found in luggage for Yongda Huang Harris.

It likewise appears that the bulletproof vest, flameproof pants and kneepads the 28-year-old was wearing as traveling attire under a trench coat, and which initially led to his questioning by the feds at the Los Angeles airport, didn’t violate any laws either, the Daily Mail reports.

But a single smoke grenade found in his luggage after Harris was questioned at LAX was prohibited, the newspaper says.

Model Cut Off, Wore Lover’s Testicles: Lawyer

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ Oct 02, 2012

A Portuguese male model admits to killing his lover in a fit of rage—but says he wore the mans severed testicles as a talisman and became a healer, the Daily News reports. Renato Seabra, 21, “willingly told police” about the crime because “he thought what he had done was right,” his lawyer, Rubin Sinins, said at the opening of Seabras murder trial in New York yesterday. Seabras victim: Varlos Castro, a 65-year-old gay activist and society journalist.

Seabra put one testicle “on each wrist,” Sinins said. “He wandered the streets of Manhattan, touching people, because he had the power to cure people from AIDS.” Not surprisingly, Seabra has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. B

First lady: Voting rights is ‘movement of our era’

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ Sep 21, 2012

— Michelle Obama says protecting the right to vote has become the nation’s most important civil rights issue.

The first lady tells a gathering of black lawmakers and leaders that they owe it to those who fought and died for equal rights in the 1960s to make sure every voter can freely cast a ballot.

Her comments at an annual awards banquet for the Congressional Black Caucus come amidst a push in more than a dozen states to pass laws requiring voters to show ID at the polls. Critics say the laws unfairly harm minorities, poor people and college students – all groups that tend to vote Democratic.
