Schwarzenegger Tells Assemblyman "F**k You" in Cryptic Letter




Arnold Schwarzenegger, the hubristic Governator of California, appears to have a puerile streak in him because it has been discovered that he sent San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano a letter in which a profanity was expressed in a cryptic and surreptitious fashion along the left margin of the letter.

If one extracts just the first letter of each line, you would spell out a rather juvenile insult that read "F*ck You." A copy of the letter is reproduced below with the offending letters highlighted in yellow.



Schwarzenegger typically attaches a message to bills he signs or vetoes telling assemblymen why he took the action. It is assumed that Arnold's profane missive is in response to Ammiano's request that the Governator "kiss my gay ass" during a local Democratic Party fundraiser earlier this month in San Francisco.

Schwarzenegger, who is a Republican, was invited to the normally Democrat only event by former San Francisco mayor and Assembly speaker Willie Brown, also a Democrat.

Arnold gave a brief speech at the event, during which Ammiano and other Dems booed and heckled him, shouting "You lie." After Schwarzenegger left, Ammiano gave a speech criticizing Schwarzenegger for a wide variety of real or imagined offenses.

Aaron McLear, a spokesperson for Schwarzenegger explained to reporters' queries about the letter: "My goodness. What a coincidence. I suppose when you do so many vetoes, something like this is bound to happen."

Ammiano's spokesperson, Quintin Mecke's response was that the assemblyman wants to move on. "We will call it even and start with a clean slate with the governor from here on out."

One might quip that golden state pols have sunken to a social level on parr with junior high school boys, but junior high school boys would probably be insulted by the comparison.

Baby in Stroller Falls under Moving Train - Survives - Video


An extremely fortunate six-month old baby boy strapped into his stroller rolled off a train platform into the path of an oncoming train on Thursday in Melbourne, Australia. Despite being pushed along the train track for 131 feet, the baby ended up with only a small bump and cut on the forehead.

John Rees, a spokesman for train operator Connex, said "It's a miracle this baby wasn't killed. The baby managed to escape with just a cut to the forehead, I'm told. It's a complete miracle."

The entire incident was captured on closed circuit TV at Ashburton railway station in Melbourne, Victoria. The footage shows the baby's mother momentarily releasing her grasp on the stroller to adjust her clothing, after which the stroller rolls over the edge of the platform just as a train pulls into the station.

One can see in the video that the baby's mother was so distraught that she almost went off the platform after the baby. She probably would have had the train not arrived immediately after the stroller slipped onto the tracks.

The miracle baby was treated at Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital and then released to his mother.

The following video is an Associated Press report of the incident:

Maria Shriver Caught Talking on Cell while Driving


Maria Shriver, the celebrity wife of California celebrity Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, was captured on film by paparazzi while she was allegedly violating the law by allegedly talking on her cell phone while driving.

In fact, it happened not once, but twice.

In the photo above published by TMZ.com we see Maria happily chatting away while tooling down some LA roadway last Sunday, October 11, 2009.



If that were not bad enough, they caught her again in July, which is plain enough in the second photo. It would seem that Maria has chosen to carelessly violate the no cell phone use while driving law habitually, even though her husband Arnold supported the law and signed it into law just last year.

Arnold appears to be none too pleased about the matter because he tweeted the following message to TMZ's Harvey Levin, "Thanks for bringing her violations to my attention, @harveylevintmz. There's going to be swift action."

What do you want to bet Maria gets grounded?

Wow! Just Released Tsunami Footage Shows Large Wave Swamping FBI Office - Video


A Newly released video by the FBI shows a giant tsunami wave approaching the FBI office in Pago Pago, which is in American Samoa in the South Pacific. The wave generates a path of destruction in its wake, tossing vehicles about as if they were toy cars.

A young man on foot at first heads directly toward the wave, but he soon corrects his path, turning about completely. Hopefully, he made it to safety in time. It is difficult to know that he did, however, unless he had a vehicle to escape in. A man on foot would not stand much of a chance against a wave moving as quickly as this one.

Watch:



The death toll has risen to at least 184 including Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga. From 6-8 people are still missing according to different reports. The video footage is taken from a security tape in the FBI office on the 2nd floor. The video camera takes periodic intermittent photos which is why the video movement appears jerky.

The FBI office is reportedly about 100 yards from the ocean.

Derrion Albert Uncut Video - Chicago Teen Beaten to Death

16-year-old Derrion Albert was a Chicago honors student at Christian Fenger Academy High School on Chicago's notorious South Side who was beaten to death Thursday, September 24th, during a gang fight only three blocks from school.

Derrion was not a gang banger, but it is understandable why he was mistaken for one because he was wearing clothes similar to many of the gang members. Although none of the gang members were armed with guns or knives, some were fighting with long boards, which appears to be the weapon that took young Derrion's life that fateful Thursday afternoon.

In the following raw uncut video of the fight one young teen in a red jacket can be seen swinging an especially long 2x4 piece of lumber hitting Darrion square in the head. A loud crack can be heard as the plank strikes Derrion's skull, and he then falls to the ground immediately.

Once he is on the ground other teens begin punching and kicking Derrion, while another youth strikes him with another wooden post. Derrion's mother is quoted by WFLD TV, the local FOX affiliate in Chicago, as saying he was "trying to help another student and kind of got mixed in with the crowd of the fight and he was hit.”

Other students and workers from nearby Agape Community Center intervene on Derrion's behalf removing him from the scene of the fight, but he had already suffered sufficient blows to end his life.

The following video is raw uncut footage taken by a student's cell phone and is embedded from WFLD TV. Be forewarned that the footage is violent and graphic:



**
Police have arrested three young men and one juvenile thus far for Derrion's murder. 18-year-old Eugene Bailey, allegedly the teen who delivered the knock-out blow to Derrion's head with the long 2x4, has been denied bail and currently remains in jail.

In addition, three other teens, Silvonus Shannon, 19, Eugene Riley, 18, and Eric Carson, 16, are also being held without bail for their alleged roles in the fight. It is not clear at this time whether Carson will be tried as an adult or as a juvenile.

A spokesperson for the Cook County prosecutor's office said that the melee stemmed from a shooting earlier in the day between two groups of students from different neighborhoods. The melee broke out after classes ended for the day.

Funeral services were held Saturday morning for Derrion at Greater Mount Hebron Church on Chicago's South Side.

Drunk Kicks Blind Woman's Seeing Eye Dog - Video


It's caught on video! A woman's seeing eye dog is assaulted by a drunk female pedestrian at the entrance to the downtown Target store in Minneapolis.

It is very difficult to see happen in the video, but the woman in the blue shirt gradually angled her walking path over toward 53-year-old Lynnette Lijewski and her service dog, Brook. When she passed Lynnette and Brook, she kicked Brook in the face.

It had to be deliberate because she had such a short amount of time to angle her way over to the pair of them.

Watch this woman and her nasty deed in action:



Is that crazy or what? What could possibly motivate someone to do something like that? It is just so weird! The perpetrator is a 46-year-old local woman, but the police would not release her name initially.

I, for one, would love to embarrass her by publishing her name. She has been cited for animal cruelty, which means she merely receives a ticket, I believe.
