Every 15 seconds in America, a woman is abused by someone she loves.
Diane Sawyer sat down with a woman who suffered years of physical & verbal abuse at the hands of her husband. The son of a bitch had his head planted so firmly up his own ass that he came up with the bright idea of having their 13 year-old son videotape one of his cruelty sessions. He wanted to prove how much she deserved it.
Her crime? Asking him if he wanted lunch...
In the end, the abuser provided her with enough evidence to have him sent to jail under one of the longest prison sentences ever handed down for spousal abuse. (WOOOHOOO!!!)
Ladies, if this is happening to you (and statistically it very well might be!), I want you to grab the biggest frying pan in your house and smash it upside the motherfucker's head right now! Then chase his low-life bullshit ass out of your house immediately and call the police! Domestic violence is unacceptable. Condone it once and it will happen again. And it won't stop until you make it stop.
This is an ABC News report from the streets of Baghdad. The soldiers are strained beyond belief. One even openly challenges any member of the Hill to join him for his 15 month tour. Others accidentally murder an innocent taxi driver, mistaking him for an insurgent. Warning: Graphic images.
This is ABC's follow up to the story, with responses from viewers and the mother of one of the soldiers in the piece above.
Here's a local ABC report on the 9/11 workers' response to the Bush Administration's investigation of Michael Moore.
Moore's new film "Sicko", to be released next week at Cannes, takes a look at the healthcare system in America. Apparently, in one segment of the film, Moore took ailing 9/11 workers to Cuba for medical treatment. The Treasury Department alleges that this is a violation of the trade embargo and has launched a civil investigation. The film's production company says it is prepared to fight. No trailers for the film have been released. "Sicko" is slated to hit theaters on June 29th. (I CANNOT WAIT!)
I'm going to have to agree with the good folks over at Crooks & Liars on this one - something isn't right. Last week Brian Ross claimed he had scored numbers for people in the White House. This week, he says, oh whoops! there was nothing there after all...
So, was this just a ratings stunt for May sweeps, or did Brian get a phone call, himself? After all, he already outed Deputy Secretary of Defense Randall Tobias, and there were rumors Grover Norquist was on the list. Now, suddenly he has bupkus? I don't buy it.
Surprise surprise... There's another sex scandal in the Bush White House.
This one involves a DC Madam and a list of thousands of clients, including the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Randall Tobias. Tobias admitted to frequenting the escort service. According to ABC's Brian Ross, "he said it was like ordering pizza.”
Bush sure hires some quality-ass people, don't he? At least the Madam is a bit of a shit-kicker. She's ready to take this thing to trial and start naming names. WOOO-HOOOO!!!
