RSSHillary Clinton and Barack Obama Face off Today in Wyoming Caucus
Hillary Clinton looks to keep her momentum going today in Wyoming as Clinton and Obama square off. Not often considered a swing state for political primaries, Wyoming finds itself in a rare position today with a unique opportunity.
CASPER, Wyo. – Sen. Barack Obama sought to regain lost momentum in Wyoming’s caucuses days after rival Hillary Rodham Clinton’s nearly clean sweep of major primaries in their tight Democratic presidential race.
Twelve national convention delegates are at stake Saturday in caucuses around the state, a small but critical prize in the close race for the party’s nod. The epic battle between Clinton and Obama has given the state’s Democrats — outnumbered more than 2-to-1 by Republicans — a relevancy they haven’t experienced in a presidential race in nearly 50 years.

In Aruba, Its OK for Police to Strike … But Not OK According to Aruba Tourism For People To Boycott Aruba in Case of Missing Natalee Holloway
The ALE is striking in Aruba, isn’t that rich! Of course police services did not suffer from striking ALE officers, wouldn’t one have to be making a difference in order to be missed? What is most hypocritical is the fact that individuals are told by Aruban officials that it is wrong to boycott Aruba because of “mis-steps” (cover up and corruption) in the Natalee Holloway investigation, yet its perfects fine for the ALE to strike for higher wages. Once again in Aruba … its all about the money.

According to chief of police Peter de Witte, the police service didn’t suffer any consequence due to the actions; only that other work gets backlogged. The employees of the Technical Inspection Service walked out this morning.
Here is a comment that should scare the heck out of potential tourists to Aruba, the air traffic controllers will be joining the ALE.
The air traffic controllers joined the actions yesterday; they demand a salary increase of 5.2 percent. The civil servants urge the government to sit down and talk to the unions. They hold the government accountable for the consequences of the actions. It is not sure yet when and how the air traffic controllers are going to demonstrate.

Missing in Aruba: Patrick van der Eem Says … I Know Who Threw Natalee Holloway into the Sea
According to reports from De Telegraaf, Patrick van der Eem, the man who 
befriended Joran Van der Sloot and got him to confess on video tape, stated … “I know who has thrown the body in sea” … “Joran had asked me 2000 euro to silence that man.”
This better not just be a teaser for a book deal. If Patrick van der Eem does actually know who dumped Natalee Holloway’s body into the ocean, one can only hope that he shared this information with the Aruban and Dutch investigators and with OM Hans Mos. At least he better have shared the individuals name with Natalee’s parents, Beth and Dave Holloway.
‘Friend’ knows who dumped Natalee
But instead he was recorded saying that he knew who had dumped Natalee’s body at sea and that Van der Sloot had asked him for €2,000 to buy the man’s silence, the Telegraaf reports.
Van der Eem was also heard saying he had known Van der Sloot for several years. On Peter R de Vries’ tv programme, he claimed he befriended the Dutch student in a Nijmegen casino in 2007.
