NRA Offers More Proof of Right to Carry Arms
CARTHAGE, N.C. (AP) — Investigators are looking into whether a gunman accused of killing eight people in a North Carolina nursing home may have targeted the facility because his estranged wife worked there, police said Monday.
Carthage Police Chief Chris McKenzie said the woman, who he did not name, worked at the nursing home. He said he believed that the couple were recently separated but that he did not have any other details. He was not sure if the woman was at the nursing home at the time of the shootings.
Authorities said Robert Stewart, 45, went on a terrifying rampage in the Pinelake Health and Rehab center on Sunday morning, killing seven residents and a nurse and wounding three others.

Do You Know Who I Am?? The Great Me????
David Vitter: Did Madoff go to jail? Neither will I. Rules are different
for us rich. Like it or lump it, peasants!!!!
TSA Probing Vitter Incident
The Transportation Security Administration is examining Sen. David Vitter's much-reported decision to open the closed gateway door to his plane -- even though he was warned against it by an airline worker.
"We will be reviewing the alleged incident," Lauren Gaches, a TSA spokeswoman, told On Call this evening.
Roll Call first reported that Vitter, a Louisiana Republican known to the wider Washington world for showing up in the phone records of the DC madam, set off the security alarm Thursday when he tried to board a United Airlines flight from Washington Dulles to New Orleans. Vitter arrived at the gate 20 minutes before departure, and having been denied access to the plane, spiraled into what Roll Call called a "timeworn 'do-you-know-who-I-am' tirade" that "grew quite heated." He set off the security alarm when he opened the door, a spy told the paper.

ACLU Vents Ire On Italy
Italy passes emergency rape law
|
Italy's government has rushed through a decree to crack down on sexual violence and illegal immigration after a spate of rapes blamed on foreigners.
ACLU:
Sputter, sputter, rant, rave. What madness is this? What about the rights of the rapists? Italy is thinking only about the victims, but the rapists are the ones who are having their rights trounced on by a dictatorial state.

You Gotta' Show Them Who's Boss
US Muslim TV boss 'beheaded wife'
Aasiya Hassan had recently filed for divorce, alleging domestic violence |
The founder of a US Muslim TV network has been charged over the beheading of his wife, media reports say.
Muzzammil Hassan, 44, is accused of second degree murder of Aasiya Hassan, whose body was found last week at the TV station in New York state.
Both Mr Hassan and his wife worked at Bridges TV, a station aimed at countering stereotypes of Muslims.
Authorities said Mrs Hassan, 37, had recently filed for divorce. The couple had two children, aged four and six.
Bridges TV, a satellite-distributed news and opinion channel, was founded by Mr Hassan in 2004 and was based in a suburb in Buffalo, in upstate New York.
Mrs Hassan had filed for divorce after enduring previous incidents of domestic violence, her lawyer told the Buffalo News.

Daschle: Me? Years Of Back Taxes? Just An Oversight!

Health and Human Services secretary nominee reportedly waited nearly a month after being nominated before informing President Obama that he had not paid years of back taxes.

Former South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle waited nearly a month after being nominated to be secretary of health and human services before informing President Obama that he had not paid years of back taxes, the Washington Post reports.
On Jan. 2, Daschle paid $140,000 in back taxes and interest to the U.S. Treasury and about two days later informed the White House and the Senate Finance Committee, the White House confirmed to the Post.
Obama's transition team discovered in December that $15,000 of the $276,000 in charitable contributions claimed by Daschle lacked proper documentation. But Daschle waited until after amended returns were filed before he mentioned the larger tax liability.
