The Smoking Gun In The Form Of A Mushroom Cloud

BUSINESS AS USUALL

Former Senator George J. Mitchell released a blistering report Thursday that tied 89 Major League Baseball players, including Roger Clemens, to the use of illegal, performance-enhancing drugs. The report used informant testimony and supporting documents to provide a richly detailed portrait of what Mr. Mitchell described as "baseball's steroids era."

Of all the active players tied to the use of steroids and human growth hormone, which are illegal without a prescription and banned by baseball, only Jason Giambi of the Yankees cooperated with Mitchell's 20-month investigation. The Toronto Blue Jays' Frank Thomas, widely known for his antisteroids stance, was the only other active player who agreed to talk with Mr. Mitchell's investigators.

The report was critical of the commissioner's office and the players' union for knowingly tolerating performance-enhancing drugs. It cited many instances where club officials knew about particular steroid use among players and did not report it.

"The Players' Association was largely uncooperative," Mr. Mitchell wrote, discouraging every active baseball player from talking with him, rejecting all requests for documents, and permitting only one interview with Mr. Fehr.

"There was a collective failure to recognize the problem as it emerged and to deal with it early on," Mr. Mitchell said. He recommended that the players on the list not be disciplined, but instead said that baseball needed to "look ahead to the future" and establish stronger testing.

Bud Selig, the commissioner of baseball, praised Mr. Mitchell's 20 recommendations, which included the adoption of a more independent drug-testing program with more public reporting of results, and the establishment of a unit in the commissioner's office to investigate reports of steroid use by players who have not tested positive.

Despite Mr. Mitchell's general recommendation that the players in the report not be punished, Mr. Selig said he would review each player's case individually and was inclined to discipline them.

"His report is a call to action," Mr. Selig said. "And I will act."

Donald M. Fehr, the executive director of the Major League Players' Association, said he did not think the investigation was fair.

"Many players are named," Mr. Fehr said. "Their reputations have been adversely affected, probably forever, even if it turns out down the road that they should not have been."

So the question is what about the guys that did the right thing?

MUSLIM HELPS JEWS ATTACKED ON NEW YORK SUBWAY

Any bets you won't see this story of FOX NOISE and Bill O'Reilly anytime soon.

A Muslim man jumped to the aid of three Jewish subway riders after they were attacked by a group of young people who objected to one of the Jews saying "Happy Hanukkah," a spokeswoman for the three said Wednesday.

The New York Police Department's Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating Friday's incident on the Q train.

Friday's altercation on the Q train began when somebody yelled out "Merry Christmas," to which rider Walter Adler responded, "Happy Hanukkah," said Toba Hellerstein.

"Almost immediately, you see the look in this guy's face like I've called his mother something," Adler told CNN affiliate WABC.

Two women who were with a group of 10 rowdy people then began to verbally assault Adler's companions with anti-Semitic language, Hellerstein said.

One member of the group allegedly yelled, "Oh, Hanukkah. That's the day that the Jews killed Jesus," she said.

When Adler tried to intercede, a male member of the group punched him, she said.

Another passenger, Hassan Askari -- a Muslim student from Bangladesh -- came to Adler's aid, and the group began physically and verbally assaulting him, Hellerstein said.

"A Muslim-American saved us when our own people were on the train and didn't do anything," Adler said.

Adler pulled the emergency brake and the train stopped at DeKalb Avenue station, where police came on board.

The 10 suspects, ages 19 to 20, were taken into custody, said Brooklyn district attorney spokesman Sandy Silverstein.

The suspects are to appear in Brooklyn District Court on February 7 on charges that include assault, attempted assault, menacing, harassment, unlawful assembly, riot and disorderly conduct, Silverstein said.

MAKE VA GO TO THE SOLDIER

At the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, there was an eruption of emotion on Capitol Hill for 23-year-old Army Specialist Tim Bowman -- an Illinois National Guardsman who completed a combat tour in Iraq, came home and killed himself.

Funding for veterans' mental health services is up, with more than $1 billion added to the budget since 2001.

His father, Mike, spoke of the agony. "As my family was preparing for a 2005 Thanksgiving meal, our son Timothy was lying on the floor, slowly bleeding to death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His war was now over, his demons were gone."

His parents Mike and Kim are on Capitol Hill to talk about what they believe is a crisis in mental health care for troubled veterans.

"When these veterans come home, they find an understaffed, under-funded, under-equipped VA mental health system that has so many challenges to get through it that many just give up trying," said Mike Bowman.

The Department of Veterans Affairs says that more than 100,000 of the 750,000 veterans back from Iraq and Afghanistan have come to the VA with a mental health condition, and that the VA is doing the best it can.

Funding for mental health services is up, with more than $1 billion added to the budget since 2001. In July, the VA began a new nationwide suicide prevention hotline, which has already received more than 9,000 calls. There are more than 10,000 VA mental health staffers across the country.

But for young combat veterans, perhaps tormented and unable to cope, is it enough? Mike Bowman wants to know about the ones who, like his son, don't ask for help.

"Why isn't the VA sitting there when they get off the bus when they are coming home from Iraq? There's 118 guys coming off of three buses at the National Guard armory. Why don't they have somebody at that armory with a computer and desk registering them before they can go home? They are coming out of combat. You know they are going to need help. Sign them up right there; that way, you know where they are, who they are, and they are in the VA system right away. Don't make it so that the solider has to go to the VA; make the VA go to the soldier."

Tim's mother, Kim Bowman, wants her son remembered as more than a statistic. "Tim will never be realized for what he was, which was an excellent soldier. He'll always be remembered as a suicide."

Watch Mike Bowman speak out about his son.

STAND UP AMERICA

Oprah Winfrey, who campaigned for Obama on Saturday in Iowa, offered some tough advice during a 17-minute speech. "There are those who say it's not his time, that he should wait his turn. Think about where you'd be in your life if you'd waited when people told you to," she said.

"You can't be fooled by this experience question because you know it's not the amount of time you spend with your child, it's the quality of that time," she said.

"I'm sick of politics as usual," Winfrey said. "We need Barack Obama."

Barack for his part said: "I'm tired of Democrats thinking the only way to look tough on national security is to act like George Bush," he said. "We need a bold Democratic Party that's going to stand for something, not just posture and pose."

He said if he's the party nominee, an opponent won't be able to say he supported going to war in Iraq, which Clinton did.

"It's not good enough to tell the people what you think they want to hear, instead of what they need to hear. That just won't do. Not this time," he said. "We can't spend all our time triangulating and poll-testing our positions because we're worried about what Mitt or Rudy or Fred or the other Republican nominees are going to say about us."

I support all the dems but now it's time to chose and my choice is Obama!!!

READ THIS BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO:

The woman in the video found this lion injured in the forest ready to die. She took the lion with her and nursed the lion back to health. When the lion was better she made arrangements with a zoo to take the lion and give it a new and happy home.

This video was taken when the woman after some time went to visit the lion to see how he was doing.

Watch the lion's reaction when he sees her. It's amazing.

OH MAN I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THIS

Daimler will begin selling the Smart car in the U.S. next month. Daimler says 30,000 people have put down deposits to buy a Smart car. The tiny vehicles are already on the roads in Europe.

Next month, dealers in the U.S. will begin selling the tiny vehicle best known for slipping into tight parking spaces on the streets of Rome and Paris. The car's maker, Daimler, said high gas prices, crowded cities and concerns about global warming mean the time is right to crack the world's biggest auto market.

Dieter Zetsche, chief executive of Daimler, said the country that gave the world the Hummer today cares more about the environment and practicality.

"Times have changed, there's no doubt," Zetsche said at a Washington, D.C. news conference this week. "Many Americans have been to Europe and have seen that European cities without 'Smart' are almost unthinkable."

But some who follow the car business think the Smart car will be little more than a novelty. "Aside from its quirkiness, why would somebody buy one of these things?" asked Aaron Bragman, an auto specialist with Global Insight, the financial analysis firm.

I put my $100 bucks down months ago and I'll answer that question and you can make up your own mind.

AFFORDABLE PRICE: Here are some of the key specs on the Smart car. It costs between $11,590 and $16,590.

IT'S SMALL: It measures less than 9 feet long.

GOOD MILEAGE: In the city it gets 42 miles to the gallon.

EASY TO PARK: The biggest selling point is the one that has made it so popular on the narrow streets of European capitals - it's easy to park.

Congress is just now trying to up the MPG to 35 MPG. We'll just have to wait and see how that goes. I'm not optimistic that it's get that high.

Now my problem is that do I want to spend 12-15 thousand for a car that I'll drive less than 5,000 miles per year.

THE QUESTION IS

If we are in a WAR with Islamo-facists aren't the Taliban part of that. Listen to this video.

Customer: 'Best Wishes Suzanne' and underneath that 'We will miss you'.

Tim Eyman gets booted out Yakima City Council meeting. Couldn't happen to a better guy.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a speech to Congress, immortalized the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and other military installations on Oahu, Hawaii, on Dec. 7, 1941, as a "date which will live in infamy." Today, those words are remembered mostly by the generation that lived through World War II.

BTW I don't remember anyone running for elected office using that day as a poster for their election.

IS THIS A GOOD IDEA

For a long time I've been working toward the day that I would have a Garage Sale.

I have a lot of stuff that is not new but very usable. It'll help get you by until you can get on your feet.

I'm thinking maybe I should see if I can find a family that has had their house and belongings destroyed by the recent storm.

ARE YOU READY TO CONVERT TO DIGITAL

I'm trying to figure out what I need to convert my old analog TV's to digital. This will happen in Feb 2009 but you can see the change going on right now. For example just this week (12/4/7) C-SPAN2 converted to digital. Now I can't get it on any of my analog TV's.

I did some research on what this conversion was going to cost me and didn't like what I saw. So I decided to write the FCC for some info.

Hi,

Whose side is the FCC on?

I'm doing some research into what I need to do to switch my current analog TV's to digital when the switch is made in Feb 2009. I can tell you it doesn't look pretty.

I have 6 analog TV's that I use in my house. I have one Microsoft Media Center PC that I record various TV shows on. And lastly I just bought a flat screen HD TV.

I'm trying to understand this upcoming analog to digital switch and I'll tell you it's not easy.

For example when I recent bought my NEW HDTV I paid about $650 for it at Costco. When I got it home I was surprised that I would still have to buy an additional HD converter box to take advantage of the HD quality of this new TV.

If I understand what is needed for me to convert from analog to digital this is going to very, very expensive for me and a win fall for the Cable companies.

Here is what my Cable TV cost me now with the Digital Starter Plan $52.95 plus tax. Up $3.00.

If I bought a converter for each of my analog TV's (6) at $5.50 each PER MONTH, add $33.00. Up $33.00.

To get HD on my NEW HD TV it'll cost me $6.50 PER MONTH, add $6.50. Up $6.50.

So my TOTAL MONTHLY BILL will be $ 92.45 . Almost double what I currently pay.

I have so ma
