OUT OF 'CONTEXT' OR OUT OF HIS MIND?

Ann Coulter - Whew! I'm certainly glad to hear the "snippets" from Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons "in context."

In the famous B. Hussein Obama speech that sent a tingle down Chris Matthews' leg, Obama dismissed the clips of Rev. Wright being played on TV as mere "snippets." He claimed the media were highlighting Wright's "most offensive words," complaining that they had been played endlessly, as if repetition were the problem with the statement: "GOD DAMN AMERICA!"

It's absolutely unheard of to repeat passages from famous speeches. In fact, I have a dream that we will not do that. Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask that the media stop replaying "snippets." All we have to fear is   [ ... More ]

Second, David, we are talking here about Obama's having lost badly working-class voters who are registered Democrats and who voted in a Democrats-only primary.

Bodysnatcher ring stole from 244 corpses

A NURSE has admitted he cut various body parts from 244 corpses and helped forge paperwork so that the parts, some of them diseased, could be provided to unsuspecting patients.
Authorities say Lee Cruceta, of Philadelphia, was the lead cutter in a group that trafficked in more than 1,000 stolen body parts for the very lucrative transplant market.

Among the bodies looted was that of Alistair Cooke, the host of BBC Radio's Letter from America, who passed in 2004.

Cooke's daughter and relatives of the other deceased people say that they never authorized any donations.

Cruceta, 35, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to conspiracy, taking part in a corrupt organization, abuse of a corpse and 244 counts each of theft and forgery. He has   [ ... More ]
