RSSTwo South Carolina Teachers, Wendie Schweikert & Allenna Ward Charged With Having Sex with Boys … Cries of Racism
Teacher/student sex case not racism … its sexism.
Two teachers, 37 year old Wendie Schweikert and 24 year old Allenna Ward are accused of having sex with with multiple males students. This case of teacher/student inappropriate sex has a twist. There is a racial component in that the teachers are white and the boys were all black.
CLINTON, S.C. (AP) – The arrest of two women teachers on charges of having sex with their male students has brought cries of lingering racism in one of South Carolina’s most conservative counties and evoked some of the South’s oldest and deepest-seated racial taboos.
Both women are white. The boys - six in all - are black.
Some of the blacks who make up more than a quarter of Laurens County’s 70,000 residents are upset over the handling of the two cases, particularly the release of the teachers on bail.

Volunteer Sam Lyons Got Fired for Searching for Christopher Barrios
Sometimes life is not right, Sam Lyons got permission from his Vice President to help search for the missing Christopher Barrios in southern Georgia. After the search he came down with a medical ailment and the company president fired him for missing too much work.
I could see if the man went AWOL and never told his company what he was doing that he should be fired, but to have the blessings of the company to participate in the search and then to have medical problems is no reason to terminate the man.
Sue Rodriguez, Christopher’s grandmother, says Lyons is an angel to the Barrios family. “He was out there everyday from daylight to dark looking for our baby,” said Rodriguez.
Lyons says he searched a few more days, then says he went back to work for two days. “At that time I was approached by the company president who told me he thought was I was doing was a very honorable thing, but that I needed to get my head back in the game and get back to work,” said Lyons.
Christopher’s body was found that same night.
It was a sleepless night for many people in Glynn County.
“I got up the next morning and had a stomach virus and I have Crohn’s Disease and anything can touch that off in the stomach,” said Lyons. “I was very sick off and on for several days, but I would still try to come back here and search. It would have been in vain to sit at a desk for eight hours a day.”
Lyons says he missed work until the following Friday. He says that’s when he was fired by the company president.via First Coast News

Nashville Country music singer, Wynonna Judd, has filed for D-I-V-O-R-C-E from her 
estranged husband, Dan R. Roach. Wynonna Judd cited irreconcilable differences as a reason for divorce in the complaint filed in the Nashville suburb of Williamson County. IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES!!! That’s the understatement of 2007. How about the fact that Dan Roach was charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a minor? A minor under the age of 13!
Wynonna Judd filed for divorce Tuesday from her estranged husband, less than a week after his arrest in Texas on sex charges involving a minor. Dan R. Roach, 49, was arrested Thursday in Abilene and charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a child younger than 13 in Nashville, police said. (AP)
A comment from Wynonna’s web site states the following:
“I am obviously devastated. Our family will pull together, begin the healing process and hopefully - by the Grace of God - become stronger. We will move forward with our faith, family and our friends to find resolution to this difficult situation.”

Emergency War Spending Bill Includes 100 Million For Political “Parties”
The special appropriations bill is supposed to allocated money to pay for the war efforts in Iraq and Iran. Instead, after making its way through the Democrats budgetary process, the bill now is so full of pork that it has risen to a level of obscenity. These politicians have the audacity to include 100 million dollars to pay for their conventions.
Of course, it is these same Democrats that ran on fiscal responsibility that are pulling this garbage, but are you surprised?
The $100 million for the political party conventions — $50 million for the Democratic convention in Denver and $50 million for the Republican convention in St. Paul, Minn. — is included in a section described as “Katrina recovery, veterans’ care and for other purposes.”
The Senate Appropriations Committee noted that the committee provided roughly $50 million to help defray the costs of policing the 2004 conventions. A senate staffer pointed out, however, that the 2004 funding earned approval through the normal appropriations process rather than the less-stringent “emergency” process permitted for the current bill.
The new bill also includes $13 million for “ewe replacement and retention,” $24 million for sugar beets growers and $95 million for dairy producers.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the bill contains “enough in each of the four food groups for a balanced meal.”via the Examiner.com
50% of Adults State they would not Vote for Hillary Clinton … Democrats Best Choice for President?
According to a recent Harris poll, “50% of voting-age Americans say they would not vote for
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) if she became the Democratic nominee for president in 2008.” Yet, overall Hillary Clinton still is out in front in many other polls. For Democrats to rail on the fact that as they claim, “George W. Bush” is a divider not a uniter, then why would Democrats support an individual like Hillary Clinton who is just as if not more polarizing?
More than one in five Democrats that participated in the survey said they would not vote for Clinton. Overall, 36 percent say they would vote for the former first lady and 11 percent are unsure of their top choice.
Forty-eight percent of Independent voters also said that they would choose another candidate over Clinton, the poll, which surveyed 2,223 potential voters, states.
Fifty-six percent of men said that they would not vote for Clinton, while 45 percent of women said that she would not be their pick. In addition, 69 percent of those 62 and older said that they would not vote for Clinton. (The Hill)

Harry Houdini Remains to Be Exhumed after 80 Years … Poisoned? And the Family Attorney is “Guess Who”?
Was Houdini poisoned? After 80 years, the body of magician Harry Houdini is to exhumed to determine his exact cause of death. Speculation as to his death arose after “The Secret Life of Houdini,” a biography published last year.
Houdini died at age 52 on Halloween 1926, days after the athletic magician was repeatedly punched in the stomach by a college student testing the performer’s abdominal muscles.
His death certificate listed him as a victim of peritonitis from a ruptured appendix. No autopsy was performed, though, and rumors that he was murdered started almost immediately. (AP)
You will never guess who is representing the family of Houdini. Amazing that this attorney after 80 years wants answers to the death of an individual, yet the same could not be said the same in this attorney’s case for a teenager that vanished less than two years ago. I think we know who said attorney might be.
