Use this thread as an open thread just for Zimmerman Case stuff. A place to just dump, collect, or discuss general information about the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman Case.

“The sensationalized, fact-deficient coverage of this case has achieved the
desired results. The networks got their ratings. The politicians got their
talking points. And if it means innocent people get caught in the middle of the
racial enmity they’ve fomented, obviously it’s considered acceptable collateral
damage. Congratulations, geniuses. Job well done.” Jim Treacher, The DC Trawler

(Originally posted in 2011 🙂 ) Late last night, while surfing the intertubes, I struck comedy gold.  This story has all the requirements of great writing:  a compelling plot, true friendship, some marital tension, a lust for adventure, and last but not least… a five foot tall chicken.  Having come this far, I’m going to have to issue a warning….this may be a ‘Girlie Thing’.  Having said that, the smart guys will consider this valuable opposition research.  And, before any of you try this at home, be aware that you really have to build up to this kind of amazingness…it doesn’t just happen in the first couple years of marriage.

“And with that, what I want to do is clear out the press, so we can take some questions.”

OK, that’s a word I had never heard before, “hobbyist”.   To find out what it means, read the Daily Caller Article.

WASHINGTON DC – A professional escort who travels the East Coast seeing clients in cities  from Miami to Boston has identified a photo of Senator Bob Menendez as a man who paid her for sex. The  woman, in her late 30s, told The Daily Caller prior to seeing Menendez’s photo  that she had been paid to provide sexual favors to several U.S. senators,  including a New Jersey Democrat and other politicians who are no longer  living.

TheDC showed the woman a photo of Menendez, however, and she identified him  as a former client.  (continue reading)

HOUSTON –A 21-year-old man sprang into action to protect his family Thursday night when three suspects barged into their northwest Harris County home.

The young man was home with his mother and father in the 3900 block of Brook Garden when the armed men forced their way into the house around 8 p.m., according to Harris County Sheriff’s deputies.

The family was in the middle of baking a cake, when there was a knock at the door.

“I see a young boy and I think it is a friend of my son so I open it a little bit,” the father explained. “These guys push and out comes two more, they push me on the ground.” (more…)

HOLLYWOOD – Ben Affleck’s “Argo,” a film about a fake movie, has earned a very real prize: best picture at the Academy Awards.

From the White House, First Lady Michelle Obama joined Jack Nicholson to help present the final prize.  “There are eight great films that have every right, as much a right to be up here as we do,” Affleck said of the other best-picture nominees.

In share-the-wealth mode, Oscar voters spread Sunday’s honors among a range of films, with “Argo” winning three trophies but “Life of Pi” leading with four. (more…)
