POPSParalysed Palestinian girl fights for Life "Maria cannot have her mother, brother or grandmother back, she cannot have her body, but there are things we can do to make things better and this is to take care of her for all of her life because she cannot survive outside Israel," Adi Lustigman, her lawyer said. "She needs to live near the hospital, she must be near the emergency room -- things she cannot have in the West Bank" Upset at what he described as foot dragging, Maria's father said he believed the court did not want to set a precedent that would encourage other Palestinians hurt in Israeli attacks to seek long-term medical treatment in Israel. The Defence Ministry maintains that Israeli law does not require the army to compensate Palestinians injured in fighting against militants in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

POPSChrysler, UAW Face Slew of Complaints The winners in these actions are those who watch and learn. Learn to act correctly ( would you be happy for your wife's boss to be...) and learn that these pricks can be said no to or taken to court. Where are worker representative unions? Not that they stop this harassment in Australia

POPSIs this a misleading headline? I scrutinised this piece very carefully as I was held by the headlines, but angry that the evidence does not support it. Unfortunately, there will be no comprehensive report as the Court is only a magistrates court and it will only be public interests that determine if it is covered. A judge would no doubt be demanding that the Mail awaits until after the trial has concluded to come up with such a definitive headline. The article includes the passage..."was travelling at between 23mph and 17mph down the road and was captured on CCTV". Sympathies to the family, but let the verdict be just.

POPSGlenn Beck on US prisoners: "shoot them all in the head" Mass murder recommended as response to SCOTUS decision. I can think of few comments as woefully depraved. Shall we process them into sausage and eat them, too, once such limits are removed? This guy's views should set America howling for his dismissal.

POPSLawyers accuse judge of lying, bungling Roman Polanski case The famous film director Roman Polanski fled the US in 1977 because he was charged for statutory rape. Twenty years later, Polanski's lawyer and prosecutors made a deal that would have allowed Polanski to return to the US. Polanski refused the deal because the judge wanted the proceedings televised. Fast forward to now, when HBO releases its Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired documentary which contains this little tidbit. The judge calls the story completely fabricated. Both the defense and prosecuting attorney go on the record calling the judge a liar.
