“The Donald” Trumped by Fisherman
Michael Forbes (the Scottish fisherman, not the magazine guy) owns a 23 acre plot at Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, on the east coast of Scotland and refuses to sell it to Donald Trump, who needs it to fill in the gap between his planned 18-hole golf course and 450-bedroom hotel.
With words like, “It’s mine and I’m keeping it”, and ”He’s not used to people saying no to him,” the 55-year-old smelly bastard has certainly got his head on straight. He reportedly turned down $700,000 for the land, saying it was well below the lands value.
Displaying his trademark tact and stupidity, Trump has publicly called Forbes’ land “disgusting”, adding that it was in “total disrepair” and accused Forbes of keeping it badly maintained so he could benefit financially.
CNN reports:
According to PA, Trump said there were “rusty tractors, rusty oil cans — I actually asked him ‘are you doing this on purpose to try and make it look bad, so I have to pay some more money?”
You are a short-bus riding putz, Donald Trump. When god was handing out brains, you must have been in the other line for a second helping of jackass.

Argentina ‘dirty war’ priest jailed
The first Roman Catholic priest charged for crimes committed under Argentina’s past military government has been sentenced to life in prison.
Christian von Wernich was convicted on Tuesday of involvement in torture, kidnapping and murder during a trial that focused attention on the church’s role in the 1976-1983 “dirty war”.
The former police chaplain was found to have been a “co-participant” with police in seven homicides, 31 torture cases and 42 kidnappings during the military rule that critics say the church did little to oppose.
One judge described the offences as crimes against humanity.
Prosecutors said he extracted information from prisoners during the Catholic practice of confession and took money from families of prisoners ostensibly to help send the detainees into exile when they had already been killed.
Verdict welcomed
Fireworks exploded outside the federal courthouse after Judge Carlos Rozanski announced the conviction and prison sentence handed down by a three-judge federal panel.
Inside the court, the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, a human rights group still seeking “missing” sons and daughters from the period, cheered loudly.
“Justice has been done. This is a historic day we Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo never thought we’d live to see,” Tati Almeyda, a member of the group said.
Adriana Calvo, of the association of former detainees and the missing, said: “That a court has acknowledged that genocide exists in our country is an encouragement for us to carry on and justifies so many years of struggle.”
Al Jazeera’s Lucia Newman said von Wernich showed little emotion when the verdict was read out.
She added that in theory, von Wernich, 69, had the right to be moved to house arrest once he turned 70.
Earlier, using biblical language, the priest professed his innocence during mere minutes of final testimony after his defence spent hours in closing arguments.
“False testimony is of the devil because he is responsible for malice and is the father of evil and lies,” he said, prompting murmurs in the courtroom packed with torture survivors and human rights activists.
Detention centres
Prosecutors said von Wernich had been linked by survivors to at least five clandestine detention camps in Buenos Aires province.
During the three-month trial, more than 70 witnesses testified and judges toured former torture centres at police stations with survivors.
The “dirty war” officially left some 13,000 dead or missing, although human rights groups have put the toll at nearly 30,000.
Juan Martin Cerolini, von Wernich’s defence lawyer, argued that as part of his duties as a priest, the defendant was obliged to visit police detention centres but that did not mean he played any part in the state crackdown.
He rejected survivor testimony suggesting von Wernich – who wore a bullet-proof vest over his clerical collar during the trial – conspired with police to help extract information from prisoners under the guise of giving them spiritual assistance.
Von Wernich said in his last words to the judges that he never violated the priestly prohibition against revealing information obtained in the Roman Catholic practice of confession.
“No priest of the Catholic church … has ever violated this sacrament,” he said.
Stricken with pain
The Catholic church, in a statement issued immediately after the verdict was announced, said it was stricken with pain at seeing “a priest participating in very serious crimes.”
“If any member of the church … by recommendation or complicity, endorsed the violent repression, he did so under his own responsibility, straying from and sinning gravely against God, humanity and his own conscience,” Jorge Bergoglio, Buenos Aires archbishop, said.
Rights organisations allege that the church turned its back to the atrocities committed during military rule and even covered up rights violations, which included the deaths and disappearances of priests and nuns.
The von Wernich case is the biggest human rights trial in Argentina since former police chief Miguel Etchecolatz was convicted in September 2006 in the same La Plata courthouse.
The trials came after the Supreme Court in 2005 annulled amnesty laws blocking prosecution of scores of former state security agents or their civilian allies.

Slimebag Cop Sues Family of Brain-Damaged Tot
So this money-hungry, piece-of-crap cop “Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn” from Casselberry, Florida responded to a 911 call in January of this year. The call concerned a 1-year-old boy named Joey Cosmillo who had fallen into a swimming pool. They were able to resuscitate him but he suffered brain damage and now cannot walk, talk or swallow. He currently lives in a nursing home and eats and breathes through tubes jammed down his throat and up his nose.
Apparently, the evil and irresponsible family left a puddle of water in the floor when they fished their unconcious, blue-lipped infant out of the pool and brought him into the house. So when Sgt. Eichhorn (or as I like to call her ”Satan’s Whore”) came into the house, she slipped in the water and hurt her knee.
“The loss we’ve suffered, and she’s seeking money?” said Richard Cosmillo, 69, the boy’s grandfather, who lived in the home with his wife and the boy’s mother. “Of course there’s going to be water in the house. He was sopping wet when we brought him in.”
Oh, and as if this bitch is not bad enough, check out what her attorney, David “Sieg” Heil, says:
“It’s a situation where the Cosmillos have caused these problems, brought them on themselves, then tried to play the victim,” Heil said.
I have no proof that he is a bestiality loving freak, but I have no proof that he isn’t either.

Venezuela President Hugo Chavez Ashamed of Himself
CNN has reported an Associated Press story about the latest insane ramblings of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez (or ‘el Presidente Loco’).
Chavez’s latest flavor of the day is to try to shame his people into not drinking, smoking and indulging in “shopping-mall materialism”.
Aside from raising the tax rate to 50 percent on a range of alcoholic beverages and increasing the 52% cigarette tax to 70 percent, he has several of initiatives (which are strangely reminscent of Cambodias Pol Pot) to change the daily lives of average Venezuelans. Such as Don’t douse foods with too much hot sauce, exercise regularly, eat low-cholesterol foods, respect speed limits. He also wants parents to stop buying Barbie dolls — and breast jobs — for their daughters.
“Now some say, ‘When my daughter turns 15 years old, we’re going to give her phony breasts.’ What a horrible thing! It’s the latest degeneration,” Chavez told one packed auditorium.
Now I can’t speak for Hugo, but when I see a Venezuelan girl with big hooters in a tight t-shirt washing a car… I NEVER say “What a horrible thing!”
CNN reports:
“We’re one of the countries that consumes the most whisky per capita in the world. We should be ashamed,” Chavez said recently on national television. “I’m not willing to continue offering dollars to import whisky in these quantities. What kind of revolution is this? The Whisky Revolution? The Hummer Revolution? No, this is a real revolution!”
The Venezuelan people do not seem as ready to embrace the puritan lifestyle as their coo-coo leader.
“If I drink my bottle of whisky it’s because I worked for it. I made the sacrifice and therefore I can drink whatever I want,” said shopkeeper Ernesto Gonzalez, 49.
