One year old boy escapes mother’s grasp while on balcony, plunges eight stories to the ground….and lives!

It’s being touted as the miracle of Mississauga Valley Blvd. A one-year-old boy survived an eight-storey plunge yesterday that was broken by a bush, suffering only a broken nose and some cuts and bruises. Peel police say the toddler squirmed out of his mother’s arms as they stood on the corner balcony and fell, landing on the two-metre-tall bush. The fall was seen and heard by a building superintendent in the Burnhamthorpe Rd. and Hurontario St. area.

A “take-your-kid-to-work” day goes haywire at three Florida prisons as children get zapped with stun guns, tear gassed.

A total of 43 children were directly and indirectly shocked by electric stun guns during simultaneous ”Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day” events gone wrong at three state prisons, according to new information provided Friday by the Florida Department of Corrections. Also, a group of kids was exposed to tear gas during a demonstration at another lockup. Three prison guards have been fired, two have resigned and 16 more employees — from corrections officers to a warden — will be disciplined due to the incidents that unfolded April 23, said DOC Secretary Walt McNeil. An investigation is ongoing.

U.S. soldier caught with his pants down and boots off when Taliban pull sneak attack. No worries as he joins the fight in his underwear, flip flops.

Pink boxer shorts, a red T-shirt and bedroom slippers aren’t everyone’s idea of the ideal uniform for fighting the Taleban. But a young US soldier found himself battling the enemy in his underwear when his platoon came under a sudden attack by Taleban militants in Afghanistan on Monday. Zachary Boyd, 19, was sleeping when the ambush occurred and only had time to put on his helmet and body armour before grabbing his gun and rushing into action, leaving his “I love New York” pink boxers on full display.

Massachusetts U.S. Attorney’s office tells employees to stay off Drudge website. Claims site downloads viruses to computers.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts directed employees earlier this month not to log onto the Drudge Report website with government-issued computers due to potential viruses on the site. In an e-mail message sent May 4, Paul Harvey, an information-technology official for the Boston office, wrote that security specialists with the U.S. Attorney’s Office at the Department of Justice asked them “to reformat/reimage two computers because the user visited the drudgereport.com site.”

Russian government still not quite ready to get in touch with their gay side.

Russia on Friday warned it would clamp down on an unsanctioned gay rights protest in Moscow planned to coincide with the Eurovision Song Contest final in the Russian capital. Russia is proudly trumpeting the holding of the annual pop extravaganza in Moscow as the latest example of its international prestige. But away from the lights and laser beams at the mammoth 80,000-capacity Olympiysky Arena, a planned “Slavic Gay Pride” parade in central Moscow on Saturday risks showing up another aspect of modern Russia.

Obama finds yet another way to shovel millions of dollars to left wing organizations.

Nearly $100 million in federal stimulus money will go toward a program to remove lead-based paint and other health and safety hazards from low-income homes, Vice President Joe Biden announced Friday. Biden announced the plan in the courtyard of an affordable-housing development operated by a community group that is getting $875,000 of that money to help identify and remove toxic paint and other health hazards from 225 Los Angeles homes.

A lawsuit was filed in federal court Wednesday on behalf of more than 15,000 students who paid thousands to attend President Barack Obama’s inauguration but reportedly were left out in the cold.

Road side bomb in Iraq takes the life of 60 year old Army soldier.

A 60-year-old Vietnam War veteran killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq has become the oldest Army soldier to die in that conflict, the military said Thursday. Maj. Steven Hutchison, of Scottsdale, Ariz., served in Vietnam and wanted to re-enlist immediately after the 9/11 terror attacks, but that his wife was against it, his brother said. Richard Hutchison told The Associated Press on Thursday that when she died, “a part of him died” so he signed up in July 2007.

Google practices shutting down the internet. Millions unable to access their services and proceed to freak out.

Google services were completely wiped out or running very slowly for many people and businesses around the world today, but the website has re-emerged with fresh news videos hosted by YouTube. In an outage this morning, thousands of websites including WND were temporarily locked up, due to Google’s malfunctioning ads. Hundreds of users Twittered about their inability to access Google or the website taking as long as two minutes to respond, leading many to grow concerned about how dependent they have come to be on the single entity. “The Internet dies without Google. Can’t get to my bank Web site because it’s waiting on ‘google-analytics.com.’ This is made of lame,” Twitter user Tadiera said.

[Simple solution folks. Use Firefox brower with “no-script” addon. When google analytics or any other process hangs while loading a website page, use “no-script” to kill it then the page will load normally…..ed]

Democrat rivals moving out of Arlen Specter’s way in Pennsylvania. Potential contender claims he was offered nothing for standing down. Sure buddy.

Democrat Joe Torsella is exiting the race for Pennsylvania’s Senate seat, stepping aside for newly Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) and clearing the primary field — for the moment, at least. Torsella, a former deputy mayor of Philadelphia and head of the National Constitution Center, was the only major Democrat in the race until Specter switched parties last month. He raised a very respectable $600,000 in the first quarter and vowed to stay in the race after Specter switched. On Thursday, though, Torsella said in a video that he will no longer be a candidate.

Michigan church suing far left wing group for disrupting their congregation.

A Michigan church has filed a federal lawsuit against a gay activist group that claimed responsibility for noisily disrupting a worship service last November. Midway through the November 9th service at Mount Hope Church in Lansing, members of a group called Bash Back! stood up and shouted slogans at the bewildered congregation, including, “It’s OK to be gay.”

For the first time since Gallup began polling on the question, more Americans say they are pro-life than those who claim they are pro-choice.

A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling themselves “pro-life” on the issue of abortion and 42% “pro-choice.” This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking this question in 1995. The new results, obtained from Gallup’s annual Values and Beliefs survey, represent a significant shift from a year ago, when 50% were pro-choice and 44% pro-life. Prior to now, the highest percentage identifying as pro-life was 46%, in both August 2001 and May 2002.

Black couple vow to buy most everything from black owned businesses.

It’s been two months since 2-year-old Cori pulled the gold stud from her left earlobe, and the piercing is threatening to close as her mother, Maggie Anderson, hunts for a replacement. It’s not that the earring was all that rare—but finding the right store has become a quest of Quixotic proportions. Maggie and John Anderson of Chicago vowed four months ago that for one year, they would try to patronize only black-owned businesses. The “Empowerment Experiment” is the reason John had to suffer for hours with a stomach ache and Maggie no longer gets that brand-name lather when she washes her hair. A grocery trip is a 14-mile odyssey.

Bottom rated TV dope Chris Matthews insults Sarah Palin over her book deal. Remind me again what this useless jerk has accomplished in his life.

MSNBC host Chris Matthews on Wednesday mocked Sarah Palin’s recently announced book deal, questioning if the Alaska governor is capable of writing it. “Sarah Palin — now, don’t laugh — is writing a book. Not just reading a book, writing a book,” Matthews said at the top of his show “Hardball.” “Actually, in the words of the publisher, she’s collaborating on a book,” he added. “I love the way that sounds. Does that mean that she answers questions of the writer, and then the writer writes the book?”

City mayor thinking of taxing college students to help out with his budget shortage. Maybe the city could just stop spending more money than they have coming in.

The mayor of Providence wants to slap a $150-per-semester tax on the 25,000 full-time students at Brown University and three other private colleges in the city, saying they use resources and should help ease the burden on struggling taxpayers. Mayor David Cicilline (sis-ah-LEEN-ee) said the fee would raise between $6 million and $8 million a year for the city, which is facing a $17 million deficit. If enacted, it would apparently be the first time a U.S. city has directly taxed students just for being enrolled.

Arizona State and Barack Obama agree, no honorary degree for someone who really hasn’t accomplished anything in life other than riding the liberal white guilt trip wave into elected office.

President Obama didn’t shy away from the “snub” by Arizona State University officials who said he didn’t deserve an honorary degree because he hadn’t accomplished enough. In a commencement speech Wednesday to a stadium full of young graduates, he said the officials were right.

Arizona State won’t give Obama an honorary degree but still finds a way to kiss his butt by renaming their scholarship program after him.

Unlike Notre Dame, Arizona State University will not award President Obama an honorary degree when he delivers the commencement address Wednesday night — but he gets a nice consolation prize. ASU is expanding its signature scholarship program and renaming it for the 44th president. And the President Barack Obama Scholars Program, as it now is called, will be tripled in size.

Looking to purchase an old school prison? Heck, this one comes complete with hundreds of death row inmates!

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today will propose selling San Quentin Prison, the Los Angeles Coliseum and other state-owned properties in a bid to raise cash to counter the state’s daunting budget shortfall. He also wants to accelerate the sale of Agnews Developmental Center, the 81-acre facility on the north edge of San Jose that closed its doors in March after 120 years.
