Glenn Beck will be holding his “Restoring Honor” rally in Washington D.C. on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.‘s “I have a dream” speech. Coincidentally, the rally will be held on the same steps that King delivered the speech.
Beck is insuring that during the rally “There will be absolutely no politics involved.” To insure an apolitical atmosphere, Beck has invited Sarah Palin and a number of other conservative individuals who happen to have political backgrounds.

A Southwest Airlines flight attendant provided a different seat for a one-year-old girl who was slapped by her mother aboard a flight. The girl had become upset and the mother attempted to help her daughter quiet down by slapping her.
When the mother’s technique didn’t work, the flight attendant used the Southwest method. The child was escorted to a different seat and entertained until she could calm down and sit with her mother.
No charges were filed.

Ian Mahoney thought it would be a funny prank to put Vicks, KY and nail polish in Nicola Parle’s eyes while she was sleeping. When she woke up, she discovered that she couldn’t open her eyes and apparently she “freaked”.
Ian is not going to serve a 10 month sentence because one girl couldn’t take a joke.

Billy Ray White did not make parole again this year. It could have been because the police are especially mean and won’t let him out because they don’t like him.
Or, it could be because he has been writing letters signed “Charles Manson” which threaten to turn his original victim’s daughter’s head into a flowerpot after he carves her up.
White still holds out hope that he will be paroled from his two consecutive life 10 year sentences.
