911 operator: 'I wish I recognized the urgency' at Powell house
Posted by admin / Under Charles Townsend (BMX Rider)
In an NBC Dateline interview, one of the 911 operators who took the call from the social worker outside Josh Powell's house, breaks his silence. In an exclusive interview with NBC's Keith Morrison, David Lovrak, who's been taking heat for his questions when Elizabeth Griffin-Hall called him, says he, like so many others in this case, didn't recognize the kind of man they were dealing with. "Especially for somebody who has done this for as long as I have, to relisten to the call and hear how clumsy and faltering I sounded," Lovrak said, "It was horrible. This has been...

He was why "they won it! ... On the dunk!" Former North Carolina State star Lorenzo Charles was on the receiving end of Dereck Whittenburg's desperation heave at the end of the 1983 national title game. His deft dunk put the Wolfpack over the top of favored Houston, giving Jim Valvano and N.C. State the unexpected national championship. Monday afternoon, Charles, 47, was killed in a bus accident in Raleigh, N.C. Charles was the driver of the bus, according to the Associated Press.

Charles Rangel, Maxine Waters and the House culture of entitlementBy Ruth Marcus Wednesday, August 4, 2010 My favorite part of the ethics report on Charlie Rangel involves his efforts to "close" a $10 million gift "to create AIG Hall" as part of the Rangel Center at the City College of New York. Yes, that AIG. At a meeting in April 2008, the New York Democrat, then chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, "asked AIG, at least twice, what was necessary to get this done," according to the report.

Posted by admin / Under Charles Townsend (BMX Rider)
Here’s a nice tidbit on the Shirley Sherrod charade, from now forward known as the Shirley Charade. You remember her, don’t you? She’s the former USDA employee that the incompetent Obama administration fired because of a video that was supposed to show her making racist statements. The point of the video was to show the reaction of the NAACP racist crowd that she was speaking to, but that was the point of another of my rants.
