			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Involuntary manslaughter?  Huh!?  <a href="http://www.popeater.com/2010/02/08/conrad-murray-charges-michael-jackson/">Link</a></p>
<p>Michael clearly will not receive any justice in this case.  I&#8217;m just very sorry that no one was able to reach Michael.  He was in need of some deep and profound spiritual help.  He turned to &#8220;medicine&#8221; instead of turning to the Lord and for that, I am sad.  Wish I knew him.  I would have tried my best to help him.</p>
<p>Miss you, Michael!  I won&#8217;t spend too much time concentrating on &#8220;Dr.&#8221; Conrad Murray.  My understanding is that he does not even bother to pay child support.  So Conrad Murray will not get much coverage here.  Let the dead bury the dead.</p>
<p>Here is one of my favorite Michael songs.  He was young, innocent, and normal at the time that he blew it away!</p>

Dear Ms. Green:
This firm represents Mr. Zalman Silber. I have reviewed the information contained on your website, hicktownpress.com.  As you know, all charges against Mr. Silber in all proceedings have been dismissed. However, when one Googles &#8220;Zalman Silber&#8221;, your negative [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I received the following odd note from a Neil Belloff regarding the Zalman Silber case:</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear Ms. Green:</p>
<p>This firm represents Mr. Zalman Silber. I have reviewed the information contained on your website, hicktownpress.com.  As you know, all charges against Mr. Silber in all proceedings have been dismissed. However, when one Googles &#8220;Zalman Silber&#8221;, your negative news items and blogs appear prominently. Mr. Silber is a successful businessman and philanthropist and obviously the negative publicity he has received over this ordeal has been damaging to his reputation and business pursuits. We would very much appreciate it if the negative news stories and blogs appearing on your website could be removed as they are no longer accurate or relevant. Kindly let me know if this can be accomplished.</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
<p>Neil S. Belloff<br />
Managing Partner<br />
NSBLaw, P.C.<br />
www.NSBLaw.net</p></blockquote>
<p>I will explain to you all why this note is peculiar.  See my response to him below:</p>
<blockquote><p>1.  Your letter is a form of harrassment</p>
<p>2.  The website www.hicktownpress.com simply quoted from <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2008/06/12/2008-06-12_exchief_of_empire_state_building_skyride-2.html">Daily News. </a> </p>
<p>3.  Take your gripes to <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2008/06/12/2008-06-12_exchief_of_empire_state_building_skyride-2.html">Daily News,</a> as the writer &#8220;Diva&#8221; simply quoted them.</p>
<p>4.  If you need <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2008/06/12/2008-06-12_exchief_of_empire_state_building_skyride-2.html">Daily News&#8217;</a> contact information, I&#8217;ll be happy to send it</p></blockquote>
<p>This has got to be the weirdest situation this blog has ever encountered.  Diva simply quoted from a HUGE newspaper.  It is NOT against the law to quote an active case and at the time, the case was quite active.  To my knowledge, no one from <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2008/06/12/2008-06-12_exchief_of_empire_state_building_skyride-2.html">Daily News</a> has even printed an update on the story.</p>
<p>I find it beyond odd that no one is going to <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2008/06/12/2008-06-12_exchief_of_empire_state_building_skyride-2.html">Daily News</a> regarding this story as THEY are the source of the story that Diva simply quoted.  Note also that the Daily News reporter even has his (or her) email address listed at the bottom of the article.</p>
<p>WHY are they coming to me and not the source?  I contacted Daily News this evening to ask them whether or not they know of any updates on the story and I asked them whether or not they had been contacted.  Hopefully I&#8217;ll get a response.</p>
<p>Odd, indeed.  For the record, both Mr. Belloff and Mr. Silber are welcome to come here and share their story or any remarks and I&#8217;ll be happy to post.  My search for an update from a legitimate news source has turned up empty.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Zalman+Silber/stories">PRESS HERE</a> for the full list of Daily News articles on this case and then tell me why I&#8217;m the one being contacted.</p>

<p>To be honest with you, I really had not taken the meteorologists seriously when they indicated that 20 inches were expected. And quite frankly, when I went shopping, it had nothing to do with the prediction of snow.  I simply knew that we needed more food.</p>
<p>Sure enough, we are snowed in&#8230;and more snow is expected on Tuesday or Wednesday.</p>
<p>Thanks to the Good Lord.  I&#8217;m sure the snow has a purpose. It certainly is beautiful!</p>

Check out her history, her weird rants and her lack of knowledge.</p>
<p>What <em>does</em> surprise me (a little) is how she could continue <a href="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2009/08/07/palin/index.html">using her retarded son </a>as a political football.  When Rahm Emanuel used the word “retard”, she used that fact as an excuse to <strong>pretend </strong>she was angry and demanded he step down.  How silly….how retarded!</p>
<p>Then, when Oxycontin loving Rush Limbaugh used the same word, there were <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0210/32586.html">no demands for his resignation</a>.  In fact, she has not directly addressed the obese freak at all.  </p>
<p>For the record, mentally retarded people DO exist and pretending they don’t by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_retardation">changing the name </a>of what they should be called won’t change that fact.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the type of stuff that makes Christians look crazy.  Check out these Idaho folks who took it upon themselves to hop on a plane, fly to Haiti, and allegedly attempt to illegally take children out of that country. Sick, sick, sick:</p>
<blockquote><p>Ten Americans who tried to take 33 Haitian children out of the country last week without the government’s consent have been charged with child abduction and criminal conspiracy, as Haitian officials sought to reassert judicial control after the Jan. 12 earthquake.</p></blockquote>
<p>   <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/05/world/americas/05orphans.html">LINK</a></p>
<p>Haiti had better be cautious.  The children are already traumatized. The last thing they need now is to have wolf in sheep’s clothing show up to further devastate them.</p>
