POPSThe Census Bureau breaks up with Acorn House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) today applauded U.S. Census Bureau Director Robert Groves’ decision to terminate its partnership with ACORN in conducting the 2010 Census: “ACORN had no business working on the Census. ACORN’s partisan election efforts and its involvement in criminal conduct rightly disqualified it from working on the non-partisan mission of the Census to accurately and honestly count the U.S. population,” said Rep. Issa. “Had ACORN been allowed to submit fraudulent information to the Census, it could have changed the boundaries of Congressional districts and altered Federal funding decisions to states and local communities. I applaud Census Bureau Director Robert Groves for making this independent decision following mounting evidence of wrongdoing by ACORN.”

POPSHow often suicide turns out homicide? Don't jump to conclusion. Here is definitely not the place and time for that. Real crime scene investigators can be only in TV show, isn't it? And reality is usually so prosaic and rude... :cool:

POPS'Shake it more than twice and you're playing with it!' A witness came forth who said he saw the whole incident from inside the toilet stall and collaborated Barnsworth's story. Edgar Felix, who worked as a delivery person for Chiquita Trpical Fruit Company was using the stall on his break. Savannah PD, CSI personnel lifted a finger ring indentation from Barnsworth's forehead using hot wax. The initial ring left two letters stamped into the man's flesh....'DW' Please call the Savannah police if you have any information concerning this case. Ask for Special Agent.

POPSShocker! Obama Health Care Infomercial Bombs in the Ratings.... ABC's White House special struggled for viewers President Obama's town hall meeting on health care delivered a sickly rating Wednesday evening. The one-hour ABC News special "Primetime: Questions for the President: Prescription for America" (4.7 million viewers, 1.1 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) had the fewest viewers in the 10 p.m. hour (against NBC's "The Philanthropist" debut and a repeat of "CSI: NY" on CBS). The special tied some 8 p.m. comedy repeats as the lowest-rated program on a major broadcast network. UPDATE: ABC points out that "Questions for the President" continued after the local news during late night on "Nightline" (4.3 million) and helped boost the news program to pull more viewers than CBS' "Late Show" and NBC's "Tonight Show."

POPSThings Cops Know, (and Things They Want You to Know) * Watch out for the CSI effect. There is no machine that we can drop an eyelash into and come up with the DNA profile, fingerprints and mugshot of the owner in 2 minutes. * When you see an emergency vehicle behind you with its lights and sirens on: pull to the RIGHT, and Stop. We are usually required to pass cars on the left.

POPSAnd where was the press? For partisans, there’s the schadenfreude that comes with watching the Democrats — self-proclaimed anti-corruption zealots in recent years — explain why Blagojevich shouldn’t be lumped in with Congressmen Charlie Rangel (cut himself sweetheart deals), William Jefferson ($90,000 in his freezer) and Tim Mahoney (tried to bribe an aide he was sleeping with not to sue him — and you thought romance was dead) as part of a new Democratic “culture of corruption” storyline

POPSAvoiding ‘CSI Kandahar’
they’ve just invalidated — decided the job is better done by politically unaccountable courts … the better to spare Nadler and his cohort from telling voters exactly what protections they’d lavish on the people trying to kill us. The attorney general begs to differ. The justices ruled that detainees get judicial review, but, as he posits, they “stopped well short of detailing how the habeas corpus proceedings must be conducted.” Many significant questions remain open, and, Mukasey rightly insists, “it is well within the historic role and competence of Congress and the executive branch to attempt to resolve them.” LAYING DOWN MARKERS The Justice Department has to live with the chaos caused by Boumediene’s dumping of approximately 270 combatants on the district courts with no guidance about how the cases should be handled. Fans of Kennedy & Co. laughably point to this as a demonstration of the high Court’s restraint. In Justice Antonin Scalia’s apt dissenting phrase

POPSLearning about Forensics Part I Elyse's Site is a good general review of forensics and the application of the science in all it's myriad forms. This part was clipped as a basic primer on the different branches. Part II (Yes, another Multi-part Clip!) will focus on the different applications of the science and some very good links to high-end Forensic sites. The Site owner definitely loves CSI and you will see that if you go there...

POPSIs He Cheating? "Exhibit A" *LOL* Oh my goodness, I think the lice comb trick is going a bit too far. Here's a few more tips. :p 1. Use a cue tip in the drain of the sink and shower for check for hair. 2. Set your cell phone to auto-reply and no ring tone, then leave the phone at home, (when the guy is suspected to be cheating) and then call home. The phone will silently pick up itself. (Dunno, if this is legal) 3. Keep an eye on the car's odometer. Poor girl. *LOL* There can be only one theme song to this clip. :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Tiz6INF7I
