Apr. 12th, 2006 11:23 amCheney booed at Washington National's baseball game - but take a look at who's reporting the boos, in what ways.
Note: The video supports, fully, that Cheney was loudly booed as soon as he stepped onto the field. Anyone saying otherwise is lying.

Apr. 12th, 2006 02:11 pmWhen Michael Bilodeau couldn't be there to see his 12-year-old daughter stripped and whipped with a belt, he made sure to listen in on a speakerphone from his Coral Springs home, according to police reports.
She deserved it, he told investigators, because she was a liar and "it is stated in the Bible that it is OK to spank your children,"
Bilodeau, 48, was arrested Saturday in Port St. Lucie on charges of aggravated child abuse and neglect. He has since bonded out of jail. He did not return messages left at his home and cell phone Tuesday.
The girl is under the protection of the state Department of Children & Families.
"Based on the bruises on her body, they're in various stages of healing, which is evidence to us that this has been going on for some time," said Officer Robert Vega, spokesman for the Port St. Lucie Police Department. "It's more than parental discipline; it's excessive, it's child abuse."
Bilodeau, who is listed as running a Fort Lauderdale office furniture business, lives with his wife and two sons in Coral Springs. Three years ago, he and his wife decided they couldn't take care of their daughter, so they sent her to live with a couple they were friends with in Port St. Lucie, he told police. He made sure the friends had similar religious beliefs.
He allowed them to punish her like he did: strip her naked, put her in an awkward position and strike her repeatedly with a belt or a stick, according to Bilodeau's arrest report. The punishments came in response to the girl not using proper English, not finishing her homework, lying, or "not accepting Jesus into her heart,"
Police said Bilodeau admitted to punishing the girl by striking her with a belt and a stick.According to the police report, he makes his daughter strip naked "because he wants her to feel the pain."
Coral Springs police, along with child welfare investigators, visited the Bilodeaus' Coral Springs home earlier this week but did not remove either of the two children from their mother.

According to Susan Tully of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), many Roman Catholics are unhappy with their church leaders who, like Mahony, advocate for illegal aliens. “I am a Catholic, and there’s a whole bunch of us who are calling for a boycott of the Catholic Church,” she says.- Agape Press, the American Family Association's propaganda wing.
“In other words,” Tully explains, “we’re telling other Catholics, ‘If you want to go to church to receive communion and a service or whatever, that would be fine, but do not financially support [the church].” And as for Cardinal Mahony, she contends, it is important for church members to remember what is truly motivating him.
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?- Luke 10:25-29
He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
