Court Rules – Kansas Democrat Chad Taylor Can Remove His Name From Ballot

Kansas Democrat Chad Taylor, remember him? He’s the one who wanted to remove his name from the ballot in Kansas, went through all the legal procedures to do so but was told by the Republican that he couldn’t. Well the court has ruled and Chad can legally remove himself from the ballot.

The Kansas Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Democratic Senate nominee Chad Taylor’s name should be removed from the ballot in November, overruling Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R).

The much-anticipated ruling in one of the most-watched Senate races of 2014 means national Democrats are closer to their perceived goal of clearing the field for independent candidate Greg Orman. Polling suggests that Orman, who had briefly run as a Democrat in 2008 and is open to caucusing with either party, is better positioned to knock off the vulnerable Republican incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts.

But the matter might not be fully resolved.

After the ruling, Kobach quickly moved to put another obstacle in the way of Democrats’ plan. Kobach reiterated his position that the Democratic Party is required under state law to replace Taylor on the ballot. He said he had notified the party chair that Taylor should be replaced and moved the mailing date for ballots from Sept. 20 to Sept. 27 to give Democrats time to pick a new nominee.

Miley Cyrus Wipes Her A$$ With The Mexican Flag On Stage – Could get Jailtime – Video


What would possess Miley Cyrus to go onstage and wipe her ass with the Mexican flag is way beyond my understanding. Maybe the texture made her feel a certain way, who knows? Who cares? But for what it’s worth, the twenty-something entertainer who gained fame as a role-model for young girls on The Disney Channel, introduced the Mexican flag to a place where the sun doesn’t shine her during an onstage performance.

Miley was performing Tuesday night — on Mexican Independence Day, mind you — in Monterrey, Mexico when one of her dancers slapped her prosthetic butt with a Mexican flag.

Apparently Mexican officials are super sensitive about disrespecting national symbols so the congress of the state of Nuevo Leon wants her prosecuted. The crime of desecration carries a $1,200 fine and a 36 hour jail sentence. It wouldn’t be the first time a singer crossed the line South of the border. was fined $4K for appearing naked in a mag … draped in a Mexican flag.

Will Miley’s butt ever learn?

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Has an “Aggressive Cancer”

CNN is reporting that Toronto Mayor Rob Ford soon will begin chemotherapy to treat a rare and aggressive cancer, a doctor at Mount Sinai Hospital in the city said Wednesday.

Dr. Zane Cohen said Ford has a malignant liposarcoma, and a second biopsy on his tumor done Monday shows it is aggressive.

“However, we are optimistic about this tumor,” Cohen said.

Ford, who recently announced he will not run for re-election, will start chemotherapy by Friday afternoon.

The cancer has spread from the fatty tissue of Ford’s abdomen to other parts of his body, including his buttocks, Cohen said.

The doctor added that this type of tumor comprises only about 1% of all cancers and has at least 60 different types of cells, making it difficult to treat.

Baltimore Police Repeatedly Punched Man in The Face, For No Apparent Reason – Video

Not only did the officer attacked the man for no reason, he then falsified a report blaming the victim for the incident.

Officer Vincent Cosom, a six-year Baltimore police officer apparently had words with the man, 32-year old Kollin Truss. According to the attorney of the Kollin Truss, words were exchanged between the officer and his client inside a store. The officer claims that he told Truss to stop loitering and Truss told him, “F*ck you. I will see you when I get outside.”

On one surveillance video, the two men are seen in front the liquor store arguing. A woman then steps between them and she is eventually pushed away by the officer. Truss and the woman leaves the area but were followed by the officer to another location where a second video shows the officer running up on the unsuspecting Truss and punching him, repeatedly in the face. The officer then arrested Truss, charging him with assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication.

Now that the surveillance videos show the truth, everyone is understandably outraged, some even demanding body cameras for all the officers. Baltimore police Commissioner, Anthony Batts, said that he is “shocked, I’m outraged, I’m disgusted by what I saw by an employee of the Baltimore City Police Department.” Even the mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake expressed frustration with the incident.

“I am deeply disgusted by the images I saw in this video.  [Cosom’s] conduct was shameful and not worthy of the sworn obligation every officer takes to serve and protect city residents.”

Cosom is on paid administrative leave and the incident – which happened in June – is being investigated. Kollin Truss has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the Cosom and the Baltimore Police Department.

Jon Stewart on The NFL – They “Don’t Know What the F*ck They’re Doing”

Jon Stewart NFL

It’s not official until we hear from the most honest man in news, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart. And on Wednesday night’s show, Stewart took on the NFL and their horrible managerial skills or lack there of, in dealing with the many domestic abuse cases from the players, and his conclusion is that they don’t have the slightest idea about what they’re doing.

So it’s now official – the NFL is sadly clueless!

Stewart started out his segment Wednesday night going after Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy who is at the center of a domestic violence case. Hardy was convicted of assault and making threatening statements against the victim. But, Stewart said, the Panthers only announced Wednesday that he “is done…until he appeals his misdemeanor conviction for domestic violence.”

“It’s the kind of firm decision making we’ve come to expect from people who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing,” Stewart said.

The NFL has also appointed a group of women to oversee its its efforts to reduce domestic violence among its players.

“You know your business model is in rough shape when you have to appoint your own in-house special victims unit,” Jon Stewart said.
