A 28-year-old man has been charged with murder after telling police that he stoned a 70-year-old man to death for making homosexual advances toward him, authorities say.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42158884/ns/local_news-philadelphia_pa/

Thomas reportedly told authorities that he read in the Old Testament that homosexuals should be stoned to death. When Seidman allegedly made homosexual advances toward him over a period of time, Thomas said he received a message in his prayers that he must end Seidman's life, according to court documents.

ORLY?

Though the relationship is still unknown, Thomas was the sole executor of Seidman's will and knew how much money was in Seidman's bank accounts, police say.

So was "I stoned him because he was gay" supposed to be his cover story for "I murdered him for his money"? Who was the shitty lawyer that didn't tell him that both were horrible?

The bible told him to do it. Leaders are elected because they act on the bible's literal interpretations. He's obviously innocent.

I genuinely don't know what to say about this article; chilling stuff: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-kill-team-20110327?page=1

Yeah, you know that death penalty discussion?  I'm prepared to make an exception for anybody who can pose for celebratory photographs with the body of the child they just killed.  I swear to God, I can't remember the last time anything made me this angry.  Fuck those pricks, I hope they rot in hell.

Fuck.

PTSD is a motherfucker. I can't know what these guys went through to make them that sick but I doubt it can be adequately covered in the lede sentence with "six months of hard (||) soldiering" (Parentheses are mine.)

This ain't PTSD.  These guys are just fucking monsters.

I completely agree with TEC here.  Calling this PTSD does two things: (1) it demeans the people who actually have PTSD and (2) it glosses over what these horrible people did in the name of the United States.

Later, he doubts the two 1961 newspaper clippings announcing the birth of Obama, because he's "seen fraud" before -- a rationale that I could use to develop a theory that "Donald Trump" is actually a PCP-addicted gardener, on the run from the Federales for a crime he didn't commit, who kidnapped the real Donald Trump in 2004 and stole his identity.

I used to actually not hate teh Donald, but his ditching of any sensible moderation in favor of the right wing's lowest common denominator is as transparent and cynical as it is wrong.  Fuck this ruh-tard and his dumbass wig.

Yeah, up until this Donald Trump was always the guy I turned to for an informed opinion in troubled times. Huh?

Anywho, the plot thickens...

The Smoking Gun points out the not-so-obvious: This is not a "long-form birth certificate," the proof of citizenship that birthers demand from Barack Obama. It's a copy of the certificate from the hospital that features contemporary signatures from physicians. How's this different from the certification of live birth that Barack Obama provided on FightTheSmears.com in 2008? Obama's certification was a state document (there was a long, tedious, and unsuccessful effort to prove that it was forged), but didn't contain contemporary signatures or a baby's footprint. Trump's certificate is from the hospital, not the state, so it's not really an official document.

TARPfail and HAMPfail.

Though there is no question that the country benefited by avoiding a meltdown of the financial system, this cannot be the only yardstick by which TARP's legacy is measured. The legislation that created TARP, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, had far broader goals, including protecting home values and preserving homeownership.

These Main Street-oriented goals were not, as the Treasury Department is now suggesting, mere window dressing that needed only to be taken "into account." Rather, they were a central part of the compromise with reluctant members of Congress to cast a vote that in many cases proved to be political suicide.

The act's emphasis on preserving homeownership was particularly vital to passage. Congress was told that TARP would be used to purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, and, to obtain the necessary votes, Treasury promised that it would modify those mortgages to assist struggling homeowners. Indeed, the act expressly directs the department to do just that.

But it has done little to abide by this legislative bargain. Almost immediately, as permitted by the broad language of the act, Treasury's plan for TARP shifted from the purchase of mortgages to the infusion of hundreds of billions of dollars into the nation's largest financial institutions, a shift that came with the express promise that it would restore lending.

Treasury, however, provided the money to banks with no effective policy or effort to compel the extension of credit. There were no strings attached: no requirement or even incentive to increase lending to home buyers, and against our strong recommendation, not even a request that banks report how they used TARP funds. It was only in April of last year, in response to recommendations from our office, that Treasury asked banks to provide that information, well after the largest banks had already repaid their loans. It was therefore no surprise that lending did not increase but rather continued to decline well into the recovery.
