Have you heard about the 73-yr. old Colorado state worker who forwarded a racist email that showed President Obama shining Sarah Palin's shoes? This is the 21st century folks! But,a 73-yr. old is probably pretty set in their ways.Even so,the Colorado Department of Transportation worker who sent this email to her co-workers needs to make a New Year's resolution to catch up with the times. In 2010,let the racism come to an end!
I know that's just wishful thinking,though.Some people really need to denigrate others in order to elevate themselves.And obviously this old fool is no exception to that fact!!!
Here's more on this from The Huffington Post:
"A Colorado state employee could be disciplined for sending an e-mail showing President Barack Obama shining the shoes of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
The 73-year-old Colorado Department of Transportation worker forwarded the e-mail to at least four co-workers and others on Dec. 22 using her state e-mail account. One of the recipients outside the agency complained.
The original sender of the e-mail, who isn't a state employee, wrote "It appears he (Obama has found his niche."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here.
Rep.Peter King of NY says that a Nigerian man,who is claiming to have extremist terrorist ties,is the culprit behind the possible terror attack this Christmas on board an Northwest jet.I thought that airline security was much tighter than this.
Here's more from MSNBC:
"A Nigerian man claiming ties to al-Qaida tried to light a powder aboard a commercial jetliner before it landed Friday in Detroit in what senior U.S. officials called an attempted act of terrorism.
“He appears to have had some kind of incendiary device he tried to ignite,” a senior U.S. official told NBC News. Other officials said the explosive device was a mixture of powder and liquid, which failed when the passenger tried to detonate it during the plane’s descent into Detroit International Airport.
Two people noticed the attempted attack, and a third person jumped on the man and subdued him, an airline official told NBC News. The man was being treated at the burn unit of the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor, officials said.
Federal officials identified the man as Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, of Nigeria, who was traveling one way, without a return ticket.
Rep. Peter King of New York, the senior Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, who was briefed on the incident, said Abdulmutallab was known in federal counterterrorism files and may have been on the government’s list of suspicious passengers banned from flying in the United States.
King said the incident raised troubling questions about airline security. “It must be looked into” how Mudallad was able to sneak a “somewhat sophisticated device” on board, he said.
Abdulmutallab told investigators that he wanted to set off a bomb over the United States and claimed to be connected to al-Qaida, the terrorism network responsible for the attacks that killed more than 3,000 people in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, counterterrorism officials said."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
