A few years ago there was a stir caused by a video that seemed to show a soldier throwing a puppy off a cliff to a certain death.
Now there is a video of a young woman (reportedly in Bosnia), throwing puppies into a stream one at a time and even saying "wheee" when tossing one in.
The new video shows the fate of the puppies with more certainty and is definitely an act of a disturbed mind.
I'm wondering if she a potential PETA volunteer.
They were caught illegally disposing of euthenized pets a few years back and maybe this gal could save them the cost of the chemicals used to kill them (versus actually adopting them out).

An unrecognized martyr in Venezuela
The mainstream media will undoubtedly ignore the death of Franklin Brito and symbolism of his struggle against an abusive government.
Mr. Brito became a victim of Hugo Chavez' communistic redistribution of farmland in 2005.
Brito went on a hunger strike until the government announced that it would return his land.
When he determined that the announcement was likely fake as he never received any paperwork making the reversal official and no compensation for his loss.
Brito sickened and died in a military hospital yesterday.
We never heard of Brito's struggle or the wrongness of the theft of private land for the sole purpose of pandering to voters (while they still have a say) from our media.
We likely will not hear of his death or the dishonesty of the government in Venezuela either.
Our mainstream media are pro Socialist and pro Communist to the bone.

Media Hypocrisy Reigns at Beck Rally
The MSM could not resist tainting their reportage of Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally by coloring their description of the crowd's makeup.
As if the media mouthpieces held a meeting to distribute talking points (Journolist?), the stories uniformly described the crowd as "overwhelmingly white" and the rally as "conservative".
When the screamers in the street are protesting the war on terror or a conservative president's increasing the national debt, the press fails to label them as "liberal".
They fail to officially notice that most liberal protests are "overwhelmingly white".
So why do they do these things?
Probably because they are biased elitists who look down their noses at conservatives and savor any chance to demean and demonize them.

Proposition 25 end run to increase taxes
Proposition 25 is not getting a lot of attention.
It allows for budgets to be passed by simple majority and provides legislature pay penalties for late budgets.
The proponents of the bill are touting it as a fix for the broken budget process and stressing the penalties for lawmakers if they miss their deadline.
Opponents point out that a simple majority passing the budget will allow the majority to insert tax increases into the budget as amendments or force increases through unfunded mandates.
The legislative analyst hasn't cleared the air as their interpretation focuses on the wording of the bill by stating that it does not "say" anything about increasing taxes within the budget and therefore does not have to be labeled as a vehicle for easing increases.
Unfortunately for California taxpayers, polling suggests they will vote for this pig.

Another day, another corrupt Democrat
Another Democrat has been caught breaking the rules.
Eddie Bernice Johnson was directing scholarship funds (available to all Congressional members) to relatives and friends.
The rules on these distributions are clear and forbid nepotism.
Johnson is using the health care bill excuse: "I didn't read the rules."
Maybe she learned the ropes from Maxine Waters.
Update: The number of recipients has gone up.

Journalists give more $$ to Democrats
It is ironic that, after a recent contribution of approximately $1M by Rupert Murdoch to the Republican Governor's Association, there were calls for news outlets owned by Murdoch to make disclaimers on air to inform the audience of possible bias.
Why?
Because 88% of political contributions made by our so called "objective" journalists gave their money (an average of $880) to Democrats and none have made a point of informing the public.
This data was based only on donations where the donor's employer was actually identified, so the numbers may be significantly higher.
You can cut the hypocrisy with a knife.

Journalistic crime
When people demonstrate, emotions can run hot.
When news people want a story so bad that they send in a plant solely to stoke up anger to the point that a cameraman can capture "anti-Islamic hate", they cross a very clear line.
When they are caught in the act, they should BE the lead story.
The American Thinker calls this malpractice, but I think they don't go far enough.
When "journalists" goad people in order to manufacture anger just to make people look bad, they should be fired and never allowed to work in that profession again.
