For Whom the Bell Tolls: New York Cop Sues Sean Bell's Estate
NYC police officer involved in Bell's fatal shooting sues dead
man's estate.Fresh from the "are you kidding us?" file, a New
York police officer involved in the fatal shooting of
groom-to-be Sean Bell is suing the dead man's estate. Officer
Michael Carey's lawsuit claims that Bell assaulted and injured
him with his vehicle while driving drunk when he was leaving his
bachelor party at a strip club in Queens, N.Y., on the night of
Nov. 25, 2006. This is before the police opened fire on
the unarmed Bell and his friends, killing Bell. Carey's lawsuit
is a counterclaim filed in response to a wrongful death suit
filed by Bell's fiancee Nicole Paultre Bell. That suit is
against Carey and four other cops involved in Bell's death.
Clearly, humility is in short supply these days. There are no
words.

Greed Owner of 40ft sign saying 'Democrats are parasites' took $1 million in govt. farm subsidies. The Nation's Worst Church Lady Every now and then, a regular American who has fought the good fight to keep our nation's moral fiber in tact, emerges into the spotlight. Meet Yvonne Moore - a Washington, DC woman who sued her church because they began to perform gay marriages. She asked the church for $250,000 in donations she'd made over the past 37 years. That's a lot of loose change in that basket. Walmart spends millions of dollars and thousands of man-hours fighting $7,000 fine for worker death. Media Rush Limbaugh: Obama Created Recession As 'Payback' For Racism CNN Caves To Right Wing Neocons By Firing Its Mideast Reporter Octavia Nasr I used the words “respect” and “sad” because to me as a Middle Eastern woman, Fadlallah took a contrarian and pioneering stand among Shia clerics on woman’s rights.

Ruling widens the meaning of ‘media’ - Political film group
gains a protection The commission voted June 10 to
designate the filmmaker Citizens United a “press entity,’’
equating its often highly partisan work — includ ing films
attacking Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Obama —
with the work of nightly newscasts.
The result, analysts say, is that the group is not required to
disclose its role in sponsoring political projects or
activities, or reveal the source of its funding. Thus, it
becomes impossible to discern its influence in the political
process.
