Miracle Baby

In Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, dozens of people surrounded a hospital in hopes of adopting a two month old baby girl who had just been found in a plastic bag in a lake near by. More than 100 people had offered the Odilion Behrens Municipal Hospital to adopt the baby. The hospital has been mobbed by people ever since the baby was taken 300 miles north from Rio De Janeiro to the hospital in Belo Horizonte. The mother of the baby was arrested by Minas Gerais state police Inspector Helcio Sa Bernandes on Sunday afternoon. The mother will be charged for homicide while she claims that she gave the baby to a group of homeless people because she did not have enough money to support herself and the baby. Just a side note, I find it quite ironic how she didn't have enough money to support the child, yet she gives it to a group of homeless people and actually thinks that they can support it when they can't even support themselves. Just something to point out. Anyways, reporters say the baby is in good health and is expected to be released from the hospital by today.

Hussein is Officially Insane...But so is the Rest of His Defense Team

Things escalated very quickly in the court room sunday afternoon during Saddam Hussein's ongoing trial in Baghdad. One member from the defense had to be drug out of the court room with many of the others from the defense team leaving in protest, and then the Iraqi leader needing to be escorted from the room shouting, "Down with the Americans" and "Down with the traitors". The first man who was thrown out of the court room was Saddam's half brother, Barzin Ibrahim, who called the court a “the daughter of a whore.” While the defense was leaving, Abdel-Rahman, the new Kurdish judge, said, “Any lawyer who walks out will not be allowed back into this courtroom.” Abdel-Rahman was replaced two other judges because of complaints that they were not doing enough to rein in Saddam's frequent outbursts. Rahman replaced the lawyers who had walked out with 4 new ones, but Saddam refused for these lawyers to become his and that's part of the reason he yelled at these profound statements. Saddam and his defense team are so furious on how the trial has been going on claiming it to be "unfair" and "lawless".

Kobe = Best Laker of All Time?

Kobe Bryant is officially amazing. He just scored 81 points tonight and pretty much got the "W" for his team single handedly. He has been on a tear as of late. this is going to be his best year by far and he better win the MVP award or else I will be furious. I don't care if his team is garbge, he is still the Most Valuable Player in the league and without him the Late Show could possibly have only won a total of 5 games this year. Anyone who wants to argue with me, BRING IT. But come strong because there is really no argument against it. He could possibly be the best Laker of all time.

No Pants Subway Ride

Have you ever wanted to ride the subway with out your pants? Most of us have never really thought of it, but if you ever had the urge to, then today was your lucky day because it was the 5th Annual No Pants Subway Ride. Eight people were caught by the police and were taken into custody and were issued summonses for disorderly conduct. These special eight who were taken away were eventually released were part of a group of more then 160. These people said that the group called Improv Everywhere. The NYPD haulted the 6 train at around 5 p.m. because of this prank. Charlie Todd, the founder of Improv Everywhere said that they didn't intend to offend anyone. “It was our intent to make people laugh,” he said. “We try to give people a great story to tell.” Either way, the 8 who got summonses will still go in front of a judge a be dealt with by him/her. Did these people take the prank to far or are the police just over reacting?

Prohibition in America

Prohibition was an attempt in the United States desinged to try to reduce the drinking problem by eliminating and alcohol business, manfacturers, or distrubuters. The United States created the Eighteenth Amendment that took away licenses to do business in the breweries, or any other alcohol providers. The leaders of America were surprised and awakened by how many people drank and abused alcohol. The leaders of Prohibition thought that there may have been a new culture of drink that was spreading across the American population. The strength of Prohibition was getting stronger after the formation of the Anti-Saloon League in 1893. This group strengthened the Prohibition movement along with many others such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The laws were now being enforced and Prohibition was something that moved across the nation.
