Tom Tancredo Storms off MSNBC Set (VIDEO)

Chris Monty — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:42:13 +0000

Friday night on MSNBC, David Shuster (who was filling in for Ed Shultz) discussed some malicious signs at Thursday's Capitol Hill "House call" against health care reform.

The conversation, however, quickly turned into a dispute that prompted a Republican guest to walk off the set.

Former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo did not want to criticize Republicans for taking part in the event, stating that there were signs that were just as offensive at anti-Bush rallies over the years. He insisted that they should discuss policy, not the offending signs.

Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitas defended health care reform, stating that the military uses government-run health care. Tancredo then mentioned that many veterans are dissatisfied with their health care and would rather have a private choice instead.

"Tom, I'm a veteran. Okay?" Moulitas replied. "I did not get a deferment because I was too depressed to fight a war I supported in Vietnam. I'm a veteran. They want a more effective V.A. ..."

"You're not going to do that. You're not going to try to insult me that way and then pretend like we're just going on and talk about that. You either apologize ..."

Moulitas didn't apologize, and Tancredo removed his earpiece and walked away. Video below...

Jason Rodriguez: Orlando Shooting Suspect (PHOTO)

Chris Monty — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:22:35 +0000

Orlando shooting suspect Jason Rodriguez, 40, was arrested just after 2 p.m. EST at his mother's apartment.

Just one day after another deadly shooting at a Texas military base, Rodriguez killed one person and wounded five others in a shooting spree at Orlando's Gateway Center.

He is believed to be a former employee of Reynolds Smith & Hills, an architectural engineering firm, located on the eighth floor.

"They left me to rot,'' he said to reporters after he was arrested.

When asked if he was referring to his former employer, he replied:

"No. No. I'm angry."

Jason Rodriguez was laid off from Reynolds Smith & Hills about a year and a half ago. He performed architectural work, said Renato Gonzalez, a manager with the firm.

"I know that we was not very happy with the layoff," Gonzalez said, who also stated that Rodriguez had made some disgruntled comments when he left the company.

"He took it a little worse than most people."

Reynolds Smith & Hills has 11 offices across Florida, including in DeLand, Merritt Island and Tampa.

Records show that Jason Rodriguez had filed for bankruptcy in Orlando in September.

Rachel Christie: Miss England Gives Up Crown

Chris Monty — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:49:12 +0000

Miss England Rachel Christie has surrendered her crown after being arrested in connection with an assault at a nightclub.

Pageant organizers say that Christie, 21, wants to focus on clearing her name.

Allegedly, she punched Miss Manchester, Sara Beverley Jones, 24, in the face at a Manchester club after the two had gotten into an argument.

Christie, who is the first black woman to be crowned Miss England, was taken into custody and has been bailed until January, 2010.

Rachel Christie is the niece of former sprinter Linford Christie. She is also a heptathlete who hopes to compete in the 2012 Olympic Games.

The two were allegedly arguing over a TV personality from Sky1's Gladiators program when the assault occurred.

Jones is believed to be an ex-girlfriend of gladiator Tornado (real name, David McIntosh), while Christie is his current girlfriend.

Miss England organizers released the following statement:

"Due to the media attention following the allegations against her, Rachel Christie has now decided to withdraw from the Miss World competition and relinquish her Miss England crown.

"Rachel will concentrate on clearing her name and focus on training for the 2012 Olympics until this case is resolved."

Kimberly Munley: Ft. Hood Hero

Chris Monty — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:39:43 +0000

Kimberly Munley, a civilian police officer who confronted and then gunman in Thursday's horrific Fort Hood shooting, is today being lauded as a hero.

The top commander at the base, Lieutenant General Bob Cone, gives Munley credit for stopping the deadly rampage that killed 13 people even though she was wounded herself.

Cone adds that Kimberly Munley and her partner responded within three minutes of the shots being reported on Thursday. Munley had been on traffic duty just moments before she confronted the gunman.

"She happened to encounter the gunman. In an exchange of gunfire, she was wounded but managed to wound him four times," Cone said. "It was an amazing and aggressive performance by this police officer."

Munley was just a few feet away from Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan when she opened fire on him.

Kimberly Munley is listed as being in stable condition at a local hospital.

Baby Found Under Bed: Susan Elizabeth Baker to Be Charged (VIDEO)

Chris Monty — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:28:50 +0000

A 7-month-old baby girl who had been missing for five days was found alive under her babysitter’s bed. Police plan to charge the sitter, Susan Elizabeth Baker, her husband, and the child’s mother.

Police searched Baker’s Florida home and found little Shannon Dedrick hidden under a bed. Baby Shannon seemed healthy and was taken to a local hospital.

Authorities plan to charge Baker, her husband James Arthur Baker, and the child’s mother, Chrystina Lynn Mercer.

Police have not yet said what the mother's role was in the incident but do not believe the baby’s father, James Russell Dedrick Jr., was involved.

Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock said:”Statistically speaking this should not have ever happened, that we found this child alive, especially after so many days. Time was against us.”

“It was very emotional for us, because once we got her to the hospital, we called our wives and every one of us was crying,” Haddock said. “Grown men crying. It’s just such a relief. We’ve had missing children cases in the past, but nothing like this.”

In August, Baker wrote a letter to Gov. Charlie Crist’s office begging for help for the baby. She claimed Dedrick shook the baby and that he, Mercer and others smoked cigarettes and drugs in front of her. Baker also claimed Dedrick wasn’t the child’s father and said he claimed paternity to get welfare benefits.

Investigators reported that both parents used marijuana and kept a messy home, but they said Shannon seemed to be cared for and in September, a physician said the baby was healthy and expressed “no concerns regarding the baby.”

Interestingly enough, Susan Elizabeth Baker was involved in a missing child case in South Carolina more than twenty years ago. Baker told police her stepson, 3-year-old Paul Leonard Baker, disappeared from the family’s Beaufort, S.C., home on March 5, 1987, while she was taking a nap.

Police searched the swampy area around the Bakers’ home but found nothing and she and her husband were extradited to South Carolina in 2000 to be charged in the child’s disappearance. Baker was never indicted and the 3-year-old boy was never found.

Baker did serve prison time, however, after police that were investigating her stepson’s disappearance found a 6-year-old girl in their home who had been severely beaten. Baker was then sentenced to 10 years in jail. but the sentence was suspended after 80 days.

Cookie Monster, Veggie Monster, Who Cares? We Called It!

Chris Monty — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:38:02 +0000

It seems that the folks over at Google read Blippitt. If you recall, yesterday we commented on the Big Bird Google Doodle and mentioned the following...

It's nice to see Google getting into the spirit of things, but personally, I would have liked to see Cookie Monster's eyes used in place of the "OO"s, but that's just me.

So today, imagine our surprise when we logged on to Google and saw the logo above.

It looks like Cookie Monster does, in fact, have "Googly eyes" after all. How did he predict that over 20 years ago (see video below for details)?

So now the lingering question seems to be whether or now Cookie Monster will morph into Veggie Monster over the coming months. The answer is simple. No, he won't. It's just a rumor that surfaced once Americans became more health-conscious, although he might not eat quite as many cookies these days. There will be no Veggie Monster.

Thanks for reading, Google. Now if I could only get an invitation to Google Wave. :-)

Hee Orama Calls 911 Because Man Won’t Marry Her (VIDEO)

Chris Monty — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:34:26 +0000

A woman in Tennessee has been arrested for repeatedly making non-emergency calls to 911.

Hee Orama, 34, was taken into custody on Wednesday after police report that she made several calls to 911 complaining about a man who lied about wanting to marry her.

Police indicate that they did respond to two calls from Orama and told her that this wasn't an emergency and that she should stop calling 911.

Orama, of course, called again and this time was cited by police. They also informed her that she would be arrested if she kept calling them.

Police said Hee Orama proceeded to call a 911 dispatcher a few minutes later but wouldn't reveal why she was calling. Police arrested her and put her in jail.

Julie Vogle, a 911 supervisor, said that they receive non-emergency calls quite often. This causes two or three officers to respond.

"If the officers are running emergency traffic, that's putting several lives in danger, including the citizens," said Vogle.

Here is the best part.

Police say they also arrested Hee Orama last week for calling 911 several times because she could not locate her car!

Looks like her learning curve is not too steep.

Rihanna on Good Morning America (VIDEO)

Chris Monty — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:49:22 +0000

Pop singer Rihanna talked to Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Chris Brown. The first half of the interview aired on Thursday. The second half will air on Friday.

On February 8th, Brown was arrested after beating Rihanna while the duo were on their way to the Grammy awards ceremony. He beat his then-girlfriend so badly the pictures caused an uproar and resulted in anger from many.

Rihanna says she was ashamed that the whole world saw what she thought of as a weakness.

"I fell in love with that person," she says. "That's embarassing. That's embarassing that that's the type of person that I fell in love with. So far in love, so unconditional that I went back."

"When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not, I could not be easy with that part," she tells Sawyer. "I couldn't be responsible for telling them, 'Go back.' Even if Chris never hit me again, who's to say that their boyfriend won't? Who's to say they won't kill these girls?"

The singer offers up this advice for others who are being abused by their significant others - take your emotions out of the equation and try to see your relationship for what it really is.

"Don't react off of love. 'F' love. Come out of the situation and look at it third-person, for what it really is, and then make your decision, because love is so blind."
