Senior U.S. District Judge Jack Camp Jr. has been charged with possession of cocaine, marijuana and the painkiller roxicodone, according to court documents. He is also charged with possessing a firearm as an unlawful user of controlled substances and with aiding and abetting the possession of drugs by the stripper, who had a prior drug conviction.

Tea Party Big Wig Marc Rubio Accepts "Biblical Slavery" Endorsement
At an Orlando rally on September 15th, 2010 Florida gubernatorial candidate Marco Rubio appeared together onstage with Texas evangelist David Barton and accepted Barton’s political endorsement. Barton has promoted an unusual take on the historic institution of slavery in America – it was wrong, but not because slavery is always wrong. American slavery was wrong because it wasn’t Biblical slavery, as defined in the Old Testament books of Leviticus, Exodus, and Deuteronomy. Barton was a headline speaker at the rally, so it wasn't just a fringe nod. | |
Obama Appoints Former Mars Corp Candy Executive To Head Agriculture Research
Recently Congress approved Obama's pick of USDA undersecretary Catherine Woteki. The duty's of this office include research, education, and economics. Woteki spent the last five years heading the Scientific Research division for M&M MARS corp, who makes products like Milky Way, M&M's, Twix, Skittles, Wrigley's gum, and Snickers bars. She has a PhD in nutrition, and was called a "good fit" for the job. Woteki served in various posts at the USDA for years, so she's no stranger. It is a bit weird to put someone in charge of the USDA who was only recently working to fatten up children worldwide, and figure out how to make things so sweet and fattening people would want to eat it. | |
Science Kit Makers in Fight With Federal Regulators
The federal government requires safety testing of all materials in products meant to be used and consumed by children. The Science Kit manufacturing companies claim they use the same paper clips that any other company does, and it's laughable that somehow now that they're inside the kit, as opposed to buying them in a store, they become children's items. "There's never been a problem with lead or anything in any of these products," said Paul Nathanson, spokesman for the HandsOn Science Partnership. Safety commissioners are insisting that the regulations won't ban science kits and would only be applied on an individual basis. Safety commissioner Roy Phillips, said the new guidelines have a multiple criteria to determine the safety of a product for children, especially how they're marketed. These regulations won't apply to items that adults would mostly use, like telescopes and microscopes. "It is crazy that the Hands-On Science Partnership needs to be concerned about doing lead tests on products purchased at an office supply store and then packaged into a science teaching kit for use with children," Commissioner Nancy Nord wrote on her blog. "Even crazier is the fact that if a teacher buys the same paper clip at the same store and uses it for the same science teaching project, it's okay." | |
