“At Bloomberg, reporters could sit at their desks and use a keyboard function to see the last time an official of the Federal Reserve logged on. And the Justice Department obtained the records of The Associated Press from phone companies with no advance notice, giving it no chance to challenge the action. The absence of friction has led to a culture of transgression. Clearly, if it can be known, it will be known.”

False Alarm of the Day: FBI Questions Saudi Student for Possession of a Pressure Cooker

Last Friday, the FBI surrounded the home of Saudi student Talal al Rouki after his neighbor tipped off the authorities that he has been seen around the residential area with a pressure cooker, a household kitchenware that recently made the headlines after it was used by the Boston Marathon terrorists to set their deadly bombs off in April. When questioned by the FBI, the frightened Michigan resident showed FBI agents the cooking apparatus, informing them he had used it to make the Saudi Arabian rice dish kabsah before taking it over to a friend’s house, to which they replied “You need to be more careful moving around with such things, Sir.” …Welcome to ‘Murica, Talal!

This is ridiculous.

““We don’t have monster in our blood.””

- Angie Gregg, daughter of the Cleveland kidnapper and rapist Ariel Castro, who kept three women prisoner in his house for a decade. “There will be no visits; there will be no phone calls. … He can never be Daddy again. I have no sympathy for the man,” Gregg said. Today, Gregg also learned she has a 6-year-old half-sister: DNA confirmed Castro is the biological father of the child one of the women he kidnapped gave birth to while in captivity.
